If Russell Brand is speaking about freedom of speech at the Bitcoin Conference, why isn't he on Nostr? 🤔

I'm not going to be there, so can someone please purple pill him?

Only the CEO of Nostr can purple pill him😜😂

Fiatjaf and I had a meeting along with other #NostrElites and we agreed that everyone is allowed to hand out purple pills.

Ok so humble to know you step down so others can be a CEO to 😂😂😂

Will do my best.

Thank you sir.

Who's going to volunteer to convert Trump from Truth Social to NOSTR then? 😂

I hate that guy, but he should absolutely convert Truth Social into a Ditto instance. nostr:nprofile1qqsqgc0uhmxycvm5gwvn944c7yfxnnxm0nyh8tt62zhrvtd3xkj8fhgprdmhxue69uhkwmr9v9ek7mnpw3hhytnyv4mz7un9d3shjqgcwaehxw309ahx7umywf5hvefwv9c8qtmjv4kxz7gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7s3al0v can you do this? 😂

You have no idea how hard I fought to try to convince them to federate Truth Social. They hated me. At one point I told my coworkers to drink every time I said "federation" at the bar with Devin. I asked him when we were going to decentralize and he said "we're already decentralized, we have people working for us all across the world"

Haha. That's amazing. 🤣

Nah, it's yuge!

Wow. 🫤

He probably doesn't know yet. I'll try to purple pill him if I see him.

Getting censored is part of his marketing strategy?

Probs.

Maybe he already is . . .

Russel, is that you?

It is constantly surprising to me that 'free speech influencers' are not all on nostr.

There are people who talk every day about the problems of censorship and centralisation but refuse to take an active role I'm creating or participating in free and open internet they claim to want.

They probably don't know about Nostr to be honest, but if they've heard about it and not immediately dove in, then that's an entirely different story.

In my opinion this is not a valid reason.

There are people in a promenant role who can correctly identify the problems but seem to do minimal research into fixing it.

They can put together well researched YouTube videos or do endless hours of podcasts on Facebook and twitter cencprship but they can't google "censorship resistant social media" every few months to see if there is an alternative. I just did and nostr was the first result.

Hell, I knew about Nostr back when it WAS being proposed as a Twitter and Mastodon alternative back in 2020.

No (usable) clients, just open code available for anyone to poke at.

If you have heard of them, then they are already successful in getting the attention (and possibly payment) they want on their current platforms. Probably a bit of rationalization about being where their message can be heard.

He's not a techy guy... Not understanding these things is part of his charm.

Agree. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqs0rxy6jmt44guxkny8z4pkym9mxckqxfytygxuntjn6l80hj409sgpzfmhxue69uhky6t5wd6xzcmt9eshquqpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzamhxue69uhkxcfwdaexzmn8v4cxjmrv9ejx2asult5ph can probably use their influence to get Nostr on his radar?

He probably just doesn't know about nostr? There are also a lot of projects advertising themselves with censorship resistance and decentralization so it must be hard to figure out which ones are scam and not if you're not a technical person. He'll probably know about nostr after the conference though, if he sticks around and talk to people.

Nostriches are on the case.

Shouldn't be hard to surround and capture Dr. Nefario!

(Brand does Nefario's voice)

Hah. Didn't know that.

Same problem as Bruce Fenton calling out Dorsey last week. They’re just larping while they use censored platforms

no clue who that is and a quick google shows he's a shitcoiner. the bitcoin foundation is full of scammers.

I used to like him for his very informed takes against SEC overreach. He has a full career in securities markets. He probably is a net good overall but needs a reality check in some areas.

Thanks. I honestly don't know anything about him.

Amen

I guess we'll have to convince him. Looking forward to the conference. It will be my first.

Enjoy! Psst. The real conference happens in the hallways, in the lobby, in the expo area, and anywhere groups of people are gathering. Be social with like minded folks. You will not regret it.

i surmise he craves attention, no reply to Bitcoin conversation 2 yrs. ago when i tried (time: give or take a few months)

did follywood/left

use relevant as the lever

Time to get to work

Work hard brother 🤙🏻🫂

He makes his fiat on yt and refuses to appear promote for anything. His no yt fee is abt 50000usd

Yikes.

because he's thick as fucking shit, a shameless Putin shill and a grifter, but people with very low IQs like him because he uses big words and they think he has some magical insight because of it.

if he actually had a clue about anything, he would have educated himself about why fiat is one of the core roots of evil and would be telling his followers why BTC is the solution

😭😭😭

so he should be, the mong!

need to talk to the brand manager

Because Nostr is irrelevant if you want to reach people

Actions express priorities

And why is he not using Monero?

He’s got his blue check and he knows Elon personally. Dude could care less.

Which conference

The Bitcoin Conference.

Nostr isn't the only place with freedim of speach. You can host anything you want on a .onion.

Okayyyy… so what’s his onion address , again?

It's just like his npub, you have to ask him or trust someone else.

Yes we all know this. You aren’t addressing Derek’s question, though.

The premise of the question is wrong (which is what I was pointing out), why would I answer it?

Because he left off another example of freedom tech that Russell doesn’t use? How does that change anything? The statement seems valid to me, “Russell is all talk.”

i will onboard him

Don't know

It's a good question. I think his main reason may be that he's trying to pull in new people from the mainstream, hence his heavy use of YouTube for the start of his episodes, and he's a strong partner of Rumble so he uses their platform Locals for his awakened wonders community chat groups. But certainly would be worth making sure he's up to speed on Nostr and to see how it might be useful for him.

If Bitcoin is supposed to unite a deeply divided nation, then why

And I can’t say this loudly enough

Is Donald J. Trump speaking at the Bitcoin Conference … like a big one?

Why isn’t he banned as it’s this close to the election?

Why is that divisive?

Okay I’ll present my case on why it’s divisive

Done. Look at what happened in the USA when DJT was president until now?

We are a country already deeply divided in the USA as it is. What day is the conference he’s speaking at?

Hasn’t enough proof been given to the American people.

We are a nation at war.

It’s a war on information.

So either stand as one for REAL FREEDOM

REAL FREEDOM TECHNOLOGY

WHERE WE EITHER SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY UNITED

OR … Plainly

Remember when

I’ll go on

If nothing else do it for the tits

Cause one thing I know for sure

Most men get lost there anyway

I did some research. Jack Dorsey impersonation fraud is new.

R you guys excited....?

Normally scammers like Elon Musk - make AI GPT chatty videos and promote fraudulent trading platforms

Once you deposit to these platforms anything- from $200 to thousands of dollars you cannot withdraw

100 % scam. Watch out. I know a lot of people especially here infatuated with Jack, love his work, his products, believe in his investments

And they are vulnerable to this kind of scam. That's really sucks they appropriated his identity for fraud

But it's out there. You have to know not to be scammed

Buy then scammer put romantic spin on it for whatever reason?

Probably a pervert, definitely ill. He thought fraud is love...

We have to know. Various people have their own opinion on what's love, what is romantic, what is friendship

its so bizarre in some situations

I had encounter with pathological utilitarianism once. I was going through that phase of my life when my Father and then loved one 6 months later left this world. And someone I encountered in professional settings expressed desire to get friendly. Things got weird really quick. Very toxic

I was searched out,stalked online, my love life, personal life invaded. My work some of it was appropriated. Individual followed to places where I received services like hair done, other and tried to do weird stuff there. Stalked my friends and person of interest

I had to resert to legal help to get that to stop

Individual has extremely unhealthy concept of friendship and thought of what love is was really unorthodox.

Excellent question!

Nobody cares about nostr right now

And with nobody I mean most of the people

Nostr is better, Facebook has it too.

Sad I had to take my time and energy from research, what I love to do and deal with it.

I feel bad they have taken Jack's identity. Hope all is good.

Scamner literally could not blackmail me or catfish me with pictures. As I can make bathing video or shower with smeared make up and wake up next to you, right?

Do you REALLY want more ATTENTION seeking Idiots (and SHALLOW 👙🍈🍈👀Seeking SUPER FKING RUDE NO MANNERS Bitches!) on here??!

Personally, it’s a FUCK NO for me!

NOT sure what exactly his talent is, but I think he may have attempted to hit on me at an event where Patti Smith was also at with an entourage.

I talked to a 🇬🇧guy that looked exactly like him, same long wavy brown hair and 🤠 hat but it was difficult to understand him.

He wanted to meet me so the guy I was hanging out with who knows Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton introduced us.

I was *NOT* impressed, definitely not impressed to recall his name anymore.

He was the 1st Husband of

the Bitch who STOLE Taylor Swift’s back-up dancers!

This song is about her!

Taylor was REALLY FKING PISSED OFF 😡and had years long feud!

Taylor Swift is WAY MORE FKING TALENTED & PRETTIER, imho. And NICER and will talk to Limo Drivers!

After that comment, 🥴 someone needs to take a serious look in the mirror.

Engaging on nostr is different. It changes people… at least how the communicate on nostr

Russell Brand's talk at the Bitcoin Magazine Conference was titled "Bitcoin is Freedom of Speech". A large opportunity was missed here.

nostr:nevent1qqsvm84fksv432ld00jeaxc9pe93v8evapjw9maltwx3s9e58hrnhrc07q9gc

There are not enough users here, yet. Users will attract big personalities, and the big personalities will attract users. Chicken and the egg.

It's all now just celebrities jumping on board something they don't understand

Has he discovered it? I wonder…
