Maybe one of the reasons it feels so different here is that the people most attracted to a decentralized network like Nostr (and Bitcoin) are genuinely more curious and open, because they had to do the work to understand what centralization leads to.

Pura Vida my friends! It’s good to be with you.

Same Jeff, have a nice one

🤙🧡

It all feels so positive here. 🔥🫠

Pura Vida, Jeff! Glad I found you on Nostr!

Pura vida mae!

I‘m honest to you. On twitter I don’t post so much. I don’t trust the platform or any platform in forms of privacy. Nostr is something different. I feel myself saver, like my Bitcoin is safe in a cold wallet 😆

PV Jeff! Have a wonderful Friday ☀️ stay humble 🫂

Makes sense! 👍🏻

The pleasure is truly ours Mr Booth

🙏

True and the vibe here is much more pleasant than on any other network I know. PV💜

NOSTR is where the Orange Pill resides, a resounding affirmation in the spirit of the nietzschean YES!!! It stands in stark contrast to Twitter, where the Black Pill, a home for negativity and defeatism, has taken root; the NO!!! of ressentiment.

💜✊🏾

Glad ur here, Jeff.

For sure, the average profile of nostrichs has very little in common with anything elsewhere. There's a pretty compact ethos here. It's filled with intelligent good-willing people.

PV Jeff, its great to have you with us!

PV Jeff ☀️🧡

Good to see you here Max!

We’re all here because we want to be, not because we have to be

💯💯💯

Important distinction.

You know something is cool, when people use it because they want it, and not because they have to!

💜✊🏾

Feels like the Internet in the dialup days. Curious people figuring out how things work. There for learning, and information, helping. Then sharing these new skills and information with others. Seemed like all that was lost somewhere along the way. But now it’s back.

i guess it's always hard to tell if curiosity + openness to experience opens eyes or if they are the behaviors of those with their eyes open already

probably a little of both

Pura vida Jeff, always good to see you dropping some wisdom on Nostr.

What fold are we on with Nostr?😉

😁 - same fold..approximately 34…..just more people awakening to the rate of technological advancement - and it’s opposing force in the manipulation of money, coercion, and control in the name of “saving” people - but really enslaving them.

I recommend your book to everyone. Truly eye-opening.

🙏

My conviction that Bitcoin is both our only hope and inevitable couldn’t be higher as the debt system unravels.

Thank you for all you do helping educate those few people with integrity and power see the only path forward to avoid the slave state.

Can’t wait for fold 35! ✌🏻

Nostr feels like the next best thing when there are no Bitcoin meetups or conferences going on.

Gm and pv Jeff 🌞🤙🏽

Absolutely! People with high quality values vs Fiat Social Media. 🌸Pv Jeff 🌸

Hi sir...

Two other reasons: no ads and no moon boys talking stupid technical analysis and expected price of btc 15 seconds in the future.

Pura Vida 🔥🔥🔥🔥

#bitcoin

100%.

I think its getting easier to see the value of decentralization or more importantly the flaws of centralization.

As the road gets rougher more apples fall off the back of the cart. Nostr and bitcoin are parallel paths patiently waiting for others to discover them.

When you do, you wonder how you existed in that old world. Why you never saw the things and why you blindly accepted things that make no sense like paying taxes when governments can print money!!

Our roads will widen and a tipping point will come. A crowd attracts a crowd.

the future is bright orange and purple! We are paving the way

Similar to the philosophy with citizens of a country furthest from the monopoly adopting bitcoin first.

Doing the work is key. It's a litmus test of sorts and you have to be willing to break down what most will consider to be impenetrable barriers.

morning jeff 🧡☕️

I can’t wait until we get enough of a user base to really start seeing niche/subject specific communities start to form organically. Where my science fiction and cooking obsessed Nostr peeps at ☺️

Beautifully summarized

There's a lot of buzz around your post.

Added to the https://member.cash/hot feed

Bitcoiners are Kierkegaard's true "Knights of Faith" - Individuals completely incomprehensible to the faithless and feckless masses of the outside world

Bitcoins are literally a different type to the general population, almost the exact opposite of the majority today perhaps due to fiat world incentives

Are zaps still only on TestFlight?

O don’t know but every zap I would make don’t get through. Testet with BlueWallet

Try Wallet of Satoshi

No, this is nostr.

Signal is a centralised phone app.

Luke has law enforcement been of *any* help with your hack? I heard every electronic device on your network was compromised? Your IBM POWER9 Talos also? Are we talking firmware hacks? IIRC you compiled every binary on your systems down to the firmware. Do you feel comfortable sharing information about what you know?

Well said ... and likewise!

the meme of Twitter as a sinking ship is very accurate

Pura vida!

Tragedy of the commons? No entry fee for Twitter, so it gets ruined. Must have competence and a bit of effort for NOSTR, so we want it to stay useful?

Truth. Free engenders junk.

First-hand witness as a function of time = wisdom.

Yeah I hope this self-selecting advantage continues.

Have seen some strange behaviour in the global spam and plenty of 'plz set mi familie' zap begging from bot like profiles.

Wild west revisited.

We didn’t choose the pleb life…The pleb life chose us

Pura Vida! Put in the work and you get clearer view, I only hope we can share this view with other people willing to see :)

Hi Jeff

It's great to follow your lead and i feel lucky to be amongst the first few to do so here.

You are right! I can only speak for myself: I clearly see the problems that come with centralization and that makes me curious if there is another way. There obviously is! Even though I don’t have a deep understanding of how exactly everything works - the underlying idea of getting a distributed power in everyone’s hands is what seems to be the right way! By the way - I liked your book :-)

Pura Vida, hope and optimism for the future

Jeff, would love to hear your thoughts on inscriptions. Do you see any risks with photos being attached directly to the base chain, forcing node runners to download them?
