ALL THE OTHER BILLIONAIRES ARE TOO PUSSY

 HEY @ODELL SIDENOTE

I FIND IT HILARIOUS THAT YOU CLAIM TO BE ANTI KYC PRO PRIVACY PRO FREEDOM TECH ALL THIS CUTE SHIT THEN TURN AROUND AND INVEST IN KYC ANTI PRIVACY BITCOIN BUSINESSES 
 This is a reach

 The avg mere mortal law abiding tax paying citizen could care less about being surveilled. They simply don’t care. This is why mass NOSTR adoption will never happen. The same reason everyone doesn’t use TOR browser.

 I find it hilarious that 90% of bitcoiners in their brain think they are fuckin James Bond 007 or el chapo and require cia level security when they are mere mortal law abiding citizens cold storage with a pass phrase takes care of 99% of their threat models. The avg bitcoiner does not need keys spread out in multiple countries lol like let’s be fuckin real here. Nothing wrong with protecting your stack but a lot of shit people do is simply not necessary. 

These influencers/ Bitcoin celebs biggest threat model is somebody kidnapping their loved ones and demanding bitcoin. No Cold card or multi sig will protect you from that. 

If your not a bitcoin celebrity or “influencer” nobody fuckin knows who you are no one knows you have bitcoin. Unless you open your mouth and feel the need to brag about your stack like an idiot. Cold storage is all you need. 
 Exactly these people think they are el chapo lol and need all this security they are unknown nobodies all the Avg person needs is cold storage with a paraphrase. 
 I just feel like all that is completely unneeded 
 Unnecessary *** 
 Maybe I’m naive 

But if no one knows you own Bitcoin 

And you have it in cold storage and your seed is secure

What’s the problem? 
 Why give anyone a company corp or whoever your keys?

Why not just keep your own keys? I don’t get it.

Make multiple copies

Keep your mouth shut

If I stamp my keys on titanium and bury them in my backyard and keep my mouth shut what’s the problem? 
 Maybe I’m naive but if I stamp my seed on titanium and bury it in my backyard then tell no one isn’t that secure? 
 The govt can know you have bitcoin that’s cute but they still can’t take it from you.

They cannot physically remove my KYC bitcoin from cold storage without gunfire thanks to the 2nd Amendment.

So they can know about it all they want idc.

 ALL MONEY IN

NO MONEY OUT

DONT DIP INTO YOUR STACK BY ANY MEANS

RIP NIPSEY HUSSLE 
 I WAS A SOLDIER IN THE FIELD

WHERE YOU ONLY GET TO EAT WHAT YOU CAN KILL 
 Kyc non kyc bitcoin is still bitcoin 
 I feel like people are overlooking the most obvious threat models

Especially for influencers in the space

As the bitcoin price increases… the more publicly known you are for being a “Bitcoiner” the more you are putting your family and friends at risk.

Yes, if a bad actor killed you they won’t get the keys.. but what’s stopping them from kidnapping or threatening to harm a loved one in exchange for your stack.

The need to be anonymous must increase with the price of bitcoin 
 NOT YOUR KEYS

NOT YOUR CHEESE

 Question

Do you live in America? If so … which candidate cares about the country you live in more? 
 Imagine sitting in a room full of people … there are rules that govern the room and some people sit back allow others to vote on the rules that govern said room and refuse to participate. Now imagine those people considering themselves to have even the slightest bit of intelligence. Hold on we’re not done those same people that refuse to participate bitch and cry and type long think pieces and complain about those rules. I think it would be fair to call those people fuckin idiots 
 Homer Simpson could have made the first rules of that room. It doesn’t matter.

The individual who watches others participate and refuses to participate themself is it fair to call them an idiot? 
 Then i would suggest it would be fair to call them not only idiots but Super Idiots

Why? Because they are giving the 1% who do vote even more power to decide on rules that literally govern their body.

Meanwhile they are sitting back thinking they are “sticking it” to those who make the rules.

and get this .. they don’t even have the balls to leave the room.. they would rather stay in the room and bitch and complain.

So i would call the 99% cowards and super idiots 

Because if i was in a room where I didn’t like the rules AND I refused to put forth any effort whatsoever to change those rules … guess what … I would leave the room. 
 You got me there lol

 My initial reaction is pay wall would be an issue .. if im not a Bitcoiner or freedom tech enthusiast why would I pay to use a new social media that none of my friends are on? But if im coming for the artist lets say my favorite music artist then possibly .. I like it

 I love you and your content

But NOSTR will never be mass adopted by the avg civilian 

That’s like saying one day everyone will use TOR browser instead of
Chrome and Safari 

It will never happen

Maybe I’m not bullish enough

 Why would you want the govt to know how much Bitcoin you own? 
 Let’s see how this ages 

#NOSTR will never reach mass adoption 

Expecting #NOSTR to reach mass adoption is like expecting everyone to use TOR browser instead of chrome & safari 

The #NOSTR protocol is a tool there for those seeking it

Everyone will not seek it even though they should. 
 Very simple 

People are exicted during onboarding than they quickly discover current state of NOSTR is a bitcoiner tech enthusiast circle jerk … their fav celebs aren’t here .. their friends aren’t here .. just us freaks

 Who cares

The biggest question if you’re an American is this 

Which candidate cares about the country you live in more?

Physical & Digital privacy is personal responsibility not anything we can expect politicians to prioritize
