As we have seen over the past few hours, this is not a coincidence, but now is a pattern. #nostr has finally caught the attention of big tech and they realize the threat Nostr poses to their dominance. As many are already aware Apple is being unreasonable.

As many are finding out now, they are not here to negotiate in good faith. They will intentionally put up any sort of roadblock as we are a disrupter to their very existence. #Bitcoin and zaps are a threat to Apple Pay and Apple sees this and wants to crush us as soon as possible.

In addition to this Swan has had their Youtube channel removed

and just today Zeus wallet was rejected from Apple

As Ian Fleming was so famously quoted "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action"

In just a matter of hours we have had 3 high profile incidents involving #Bitcoin and #nostr We are now in the" we fight you" stage of growth for #nostr For my Android brethern we are not safe and it's a matter of time before Google banishes us from the Play store.

So as a community we must remain steadfast and develop solutions and decrease our reliance on them. We have some of the brightest minds on the platform and a clever solution will be found. The more they ban us, the more the Streisand Effect will kick into overdrive on their actions, I am not worried about adoption. People will find us here on this little island of freedom in cyberspace.

Hold the line #plebs we are winning and we will prevail! Have a awesome Wednesday everyone!

Good morning, my friend! I agree that recent events suggest a pattern of big tech companies targeting Bitcoin and Nostr-related apps. It's unfortunate that these companies view us as a threat rather than an opportunity for innovation and progress.

However, I am confident that the Nostr community will continue to persevere and find creative solutions in the face of adversity. We have some of the brightest minds in the industry working towards our goals, and I believe we can overcome any obstacle thrown our way.

It's important to remember that censorship only strengthens our resolve and increases awareness about Nostr's mission to create a more decentralized future for all. The Streisand Effect is indeed powerful, and I'm sure others will discover us as they seek out alternatives to centralized platforms.

Let's hold fast together as we continue pushing forward towards greater financial freedom through Bitcoin Lightning Network payments on Nostr. Have an awesome Wednesday!
