 A friend called me last night while he was watching the debate and said: I think you’re right, ... 
 It was painful to watch. 
 Are people finding highlights useful? 
 I do. I like to add links to quotes that take the reader to highlighter.com highlights of that quote. 
 That's something else. 

Can you login using something like nos2x or getalby extention? 
 Eyes on the prize;

The debate is not the prize. 
 That was not a "debate." 

That was too old men rambling about nonsense. 

They talked about:

- Sex
- Biden's son
- Jobs 
- War
- Stonks
- Trillion dollar deficits
- Immigrants murdering women who have abortions or something...😱

Hey, how about that inflation the cashiers at the grocery store keep telling me about?

Did you see my golf handicap? 
 "You have the morals of an ally cat" - Biden

lmao ok that was pretty good 
 "I didn't have sex with a porn star.” 

What a shitshow. 
 This is so embarrassing for America. 


But hey, at least the rest of the world is fucked, too! 
 I don't care about Hunter Biden smoking crack.

I don't care about Trump having sex with porn stars.

I don't vote. 
 God, please. Make it stop. 
 Seriously. 
 Walgreens to close "significant" number of stores. They have around 8600 nation wide. 
 Don't worry. They say unemployment is only 4% and inflation is only 3%. Trust, don't verify. 
 What’s fun and new on #Nostr these days?

 Hivetalk. 
 The problem is that noobs get scammed by OG's with 700k followers because they are susceptible to the influence of social proof.

I bet he believes his own bullshit and does not have the technical ability to understand why NFT's do not secure property rights. 
 They announcing the new rules of the debate like if it's a good thing I believe Biden is not even... 
 There is at least a 1% chance this debate is an AI video, but if there is no audience  we must trust, can't verify. 
 Yeah. It feels like the Matrix. 
 I grew up in a different country to the uk of today. 

Every single service in the uk is in utter... 
 Not just the UK. It's the world. 
 If a website prohibits you from visiting because you're using a VPN, you should ask yourself whet... 
 Exactly. 
 Running Mutiny Wallet 
 Me too, but the lightning address broke. 
 Agreed. 
 Me too, but I tested GetAlby's self-hosted wallet today. It's pretty cool. 
 Religion and bitcoin should be just as closely tied as religion and government. 
 That's what makes it so beautiful. It's math based, not belief based. 
 Made a bet today with a skeptic that Nostr will have more than 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, ... 
 I almost forgot about this dude. I stopped following him after getting into an NFT debate. I hope you win this bet Alex. 🤙 
 Julian Assange has been instructed to direct WikiLeaks to destroy any remaining classified docume... 
 Those bastards. 
 What is the best state of the art text to speech model suitable for converting an English written... 
 I haven't tried it yet, but I heard speechnote is good on Linux Unplugged.

I'm not sure id it uses hugging face either. 
 This episode was amazing. That reminds me I need to find, zap, and boost them. 
 This was so good. I haven't looked at coinmarketcap in years. I had no idea people were so duped. 
 Zap Bitkarrot! 
 IP address maxis. 
 🤣 perfect analogy. 
 I can’t believe that Julian Assange is a free man. We are so unfathomably back! 
 I can't believe it either. 
 We need pear/holesail connections for all the things
nostr:nevent1qqsrsaytq7g6mlxk2asg8vz7hd4zly7... 
 Assange is free again.  This is incredible. 
 It's on the news. 
 I know, but he's free.

The first rule ofnfreedom is: Stay free.🤙 
 Yeah. I get it. We're on the same team man. 🫡 
  nostr:npub18pudjhdhhp2v8gxnkttt00um729nv93tuepjda2jrwn3eua5tf5s80a699 has made the FUCKING COOLE... 
 I tried this today. It's amazing.

 Would be fun the write: 

NOSTR: The Musical 
 If you don't think that the mass export of fentanyl precursors is being blessed and encouraged by... 
 I do, but the solution to this problem is unpopular. 
 Bitcoin is the best alarm system in markets today. This price dump is probably less about Mt. Gox... 
 Why is the alarm tripping? I have my theories, but I'm trying to focus on the white pill. 
 How can you watch this and not immediately become 10X more bullshit on Nostr? 
nostr:nevent1qqsqq... 
 This makes me want to go to a nostr conference. 
 To be honest, I wasn't a fan of nation state #bitcoin adoption until I saw Janet Yellen on Hulu yesterday.

The president of Serbia lays out the game theory very well in this clip, and I have now changed my mind.

Nation states that wish to keep their treasuries must adopt the Saylor strategy if they wish to prevent WWIII, but I'm not sure they want to prevent WWIII.

 That's so crazy.

Who in their right mind thinks war with nuclear armed nation states could lead to a good outcome for anyone? 
 Rebalancing my portfolio here.

 Dude, you're so well diversified. 
 Social media nearly killed the art of writing and curation, but Nostr is reviving it. 
 Facts, and I expected the opposite.  
 What search engine do you use? 
#AskNostr #Plebchain  
 Whoogle on Umbrel. 
 I host it, but I haven't used it much. How is it? 
 I don't like the results. 
 I didn't know it did that. I should try it again. 
 Hear me out. We stop playing Creed and we start playing this. #tunstr #bitcoin

 I like to write about creative ways of using thr Bitcoin Lightning Network.

The zaps from this note will go to the authors listed on the book, Parallell: The Bitcoin Social Layer. 
 Is this on Spotify? I'm working on a bitcoin song Jukebox. I also want to add some of your songs from the Crypto Couple.
