 It's difficult to understand people who have no idea what they are talking about. 
 The easiest way to experience the awesomeness of nostr is by posting something about how awesome ... 
 Nostr is so awesome, there is a repository named awesome-nostr.

 I feel the same way. I thought the Internet would stave off the control of banks and corporations.

Bitcoin and nostr make me think we can do that again. 
 What is nikkea or whatever? 
 Trusted third parties are security holes. 
 What in the world is blowing up now? 
 I use bitcoin to pay for A imagesI. It's kind of related. 
 I meant AI images. I have no idea how the letters got scrambled. 
 Can everyone start using nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 fo... 
 Seriously.  
 I'm having a hell of a time uploading my manuscript to Amazon's Kindle. I'm using Libre Office. I converted the file to epub and a pdf, but it gets rejected.  

How do I fix this without using Windows?

 Ylthsnks. I'll check it out.

 I almost feel sad for people who hold these views. They have no idea how the Internet works.

 This will become increasingly important as more and more governments control legacy corporate media or try to ban it like the United States plans to ban TikTok or Brazil banned X. 

The assholes will have no place left besides nostr.

 Nothing these politicians talk about resonate with me. I just don't care about anything they say anymore. 
 NOSTR HAS BEEN MY ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A YEAR NOW AND IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.

WE HAVE MADE INSAN... 
 I never deleted twitter, but I don't have any desire to go on there anymore. Nostr is so much better. I didn't realize how addictive Twitter was. For me, getting on nostr was like a social media detox. 
 Where do I find the 12 seed words on Alby Hub? #asknostr 
 Maybe. I'll check. 
 Yeah. That's it. Thank you. I had no idea. 
 I can use this for LNBits now without the API. This is so cool. 
 Thanks. Now it makes more sense. 
 Do the mining pools(besides Ocean) act like Door dash paid an average of the agregate tips back in the day?

 Welcome. Wait until you realize it's like a new Internet, not just a X clone. 

 
 Runnin' Alby hub on Umbrel. I couldn't get it to work on Start9 yet. 
 Okay. Thanks. 
 I think you need to sideload it. 
 I love the fact that I have friends on here from all over the world told that I’ve never met in... 
 The web of trust on here is phenomenonal. 
 I think of "apps" on nostr as clients or services that can be run like nodes. Tens of thousands of nerds can all run iris, Primal,  nostr dot cooking or whatever. 

Governments might be able to take down iris, but everyone with a Start 9 or umbrel can run their own iris.

DNS is the biggest vulnerability right now, not clients or relays getting censored. I also think holepunch has the potential to fix this.  
 I know a lot of people talk shit about Swan and it sucks that Pacific Bitcoin was canceled, but they sent me a refund priced on dollars and I ended up with about 40,000 more sats. 
 Looks good. I need to use this wallet more. 
 I'm testing this now.

It's like Aqua wallet without stable coin support.

It also gives you the option to see your xpub.

This gives us the ability to add the onchain wallet to BTCpayServer.

 Fountain gives you a kyc free lightning address. Add it to your nostr profile. 
 You could be outraged about Brasil banning Twitter.

Of you could use Nostr and pay no attention.... 
 Agreed.  If people care, they will migrate to nostr. 
 Phone numbers shouldn’t exist anymore. 
 Seriously. 
 Thanks, nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle

 It sounds counterintuitive,  but I see my incoming bitcoin payments to fiat.  

When I buy a cup of coffee or whatever,  I send the four bucks worth of sats to a BTCpayServer with the Strike API. I basically do an atomic swap from sats to dollars and use the cuck bucks to pay off my credit cards every two weeks.

Then I stack the 1.5% cash back at the end of the month. 
 I just compared the medium price of homes in California today vs. 1940 in ounces of gold.

I know shiny rock dumb, but Bitcoin didn't exist in 1940.

As it turns out, California homes lost 34% of their value when priced in gold. This does not include taxes, interest, insurance, or maintenance. Real estate is a poor store of value after all. 

Of course, bitcoin is even better. A decade ago. The medium proce of a California home was about 478 bitcoin.  Today, it is about 13 bitcoin.

The worst thing about money printing is that most homeowners think they are getting rich because they believe the CP Lie.

#Bitcoin. Fixes this. 
 Only if I can eat, sell, or smoke them. 
 Just kidding. I heard that on TSP and thought it was hillarious. I actually do like house plants. 
 That's cool. Do you work in IT? 
 Awesome. Thanks for answering my questions. 
 For sure. Thanks.
