Sunday thoughts on Bitcoin and Nostr.

The future of decentralization is bright, filled with orange and purple light. As more and more people become aware of the potential of these technologies, we will see greater adoption and these technologies being used to solve some of the world's most pressing problems.

The freedom to communicate and the freedom to transact go hand in hand. Once you experience and understand the freedom to communicate, you'll understand the need for a freedom monetary protocol too.

It's why we always say: The purple pill helps the orange pill go down all that smoother.

We've seen it happen numerous times over the last year, as non Bitcoiners come to Nostr for decentralization and censorship resistant social communication and end up discovering Bitcoin along the way.

It's the perfect marriage. Both of these protocols compliment each other in various ways, highlighting freedom and value for value. The two of them paired together are an unstoppable freedom force.

This is why we build. 🫂🤙🏻💜

Relay owners located in the European Union are breaking the law 😑 All European Nostr users need to contact law enforcement as soon as possible to prevent such violators from operating by fining and/or imprisoning them. This must stop. No Nostr in Europe, no lies, provocations and fake news. Facebook? Yes. Nostr? No.

We have every reason to believe that Nostr is a product of North Korean and Russian intelligence agencies, created with funds from China, Iran, and Trump.

The sole purpose of this tool is to destroy our European values. Diversity, Inclusiveness, Tolerance.

Stop! 🚫

☝️What kind of non sense is this?

Sounds like sarcasm gone wrong! 🫣

Looks like it's already a reality.

Euro countries still have tik tok yeah? Why aren’t you on that hill? We’re like a fringe community here, no body uses this in comparison to tik tok scale

TikTok is strictly regulated.

You are confusing the hell out of me!

Me: What the hell do you mean???!?

Are you high on some kind of substance????

Both of ya’lls arguments sucks js

Not mine. DSA will turn the EU into China, not in a good way.

remind me what my argument is again? 😬

Ahahaha, that's hyperbolized humor 🤣 Ursula's entire Tweet is written in a similar manner.

😐

The reason this act (DSA) they have adopted as a result there will simply be no large public relays in the EU. Businesses probably won't be using this protocol either, at least not in the way we're used to.

I didn’t know much of anything about bitcoin when I joined Nostr except that it existed at some point. I’ve learned a lot already!

Hooray!

“The future is bright.” 💜🧡#orangeandpurplelight #plebstrong

Lol then how did you find your way here in the first place?

A friend of mine and I were talking. He said he was a fan of the decentralized web. I thought he meant web3... whatever that meant. He writes down “Damus” on a napkin and hands it to me. “Check this out. This is an easy place to start learning.” And here I am!

This is amazing.

In a year when someone asks you how you got laser eyes, you have an epic origin story.

Welcome 😊

Followed 🫡

Joined nostr, didn’t know about bitcoin… this is going to be the fastest orange pilling in history lol

Welcome, happy to answer any bitcoin questions.

Is there a substack equivalent of nostr yet?

It’s interesting how many Bitcoiners are not here yet.

They all seem to know about it, but there is still a lot of, “Yeah, I need to get on #nostr…”
