Getting rid of SAB 121 (allowing banks to hold BTC) wasn't on my radar. But, it might turn out to be far bigger than #bitcoin ETFs. https://cointelegraph.com/news/trump-executive-order-cbdc-ban-game-changer-us-institutional-crypto-adoption?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
Lyn Alden laying out a case for Nostr as censorship-free social media (and other stuff). #nistr #bitcoin
Time for another look-see. I tried a few months ago to set it up to sell the "Kicking the Hornet's Nest" book, got close but something didn't work for me.
In case anyone was wonder the #nostr lore about #shoeonhead, it was a serendipitous moment that came about around a week ago when nostr:npub1jk9h2jsa8hjmtm9qlcca942473gnyhuynz5rmgve0dlu6hpeazxqc3lqz7 questioned nostr:npub14a234n82fqsqp0wvkd9a83fp2k8p7dfhww3u4mvr59rey8pkn6sswh0dfz 's persona. The issue had always been around even in #nostr 's early days with Cassie etc etc
NIP 05 had always been a technical way to kinda prove a person's identity, but scammers could still just create a random npub, register on a domain, and get that check mark. But were these "females" really who they said were?
Then nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz post a pic of herself and in jest, nostr:npub1mpz30qp2gdr403t2apjzhla56fh94hs8zgznw5pp26q0tztw27dsu60pxm questions whether she was, in fact, female:
People that know me in real life or maybe have been following me here on #nostr know that I'm a big troll. I'm pretty proud of it to be honest. Life's too short to take it too seriously. I ask nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz to post a pic with shoe on head knowing that she's prolly game for some shenanigans, and she graciously does
A few days later, nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh comes to #nostr and brings along with him new #nostriches. The time was ripe to push #shoeonhead. Quite honestly, anyone could just have posted a picture with timestamp to verify they were saying who they were but where's the fun in that?
I wait for nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 to quote newbies' introductions and aggressively push verifying their identify by posting a shoe on their head (if for nothing more than sh!ts and giggles). #Plebs naively comply and the rest they say is history
Shoutout to the big npubs that gave #shoeonhead visibility by posting shoes on their head, y'all are the real MVPs
Thanks, I needed this explanation, I was beginning to think I was hanging with a bunch of secret handshake cultist quacks.
This is unsettling after seeing those sharpies Trump was tossing out yesterday. Those were some fat sharpies. (Who signs their name with a wide to marker?!)
Umm, I guess Tucker is yet another nostr thang I don't get. (Didn't see it.)
Somehow, this is funny: "I don't know much about it other than I launched it."
Seriously tho, where did this #shoeonhead thing start? One reason I like nostr is the stupidness for fun's sake. Like the Dan thing (which I still don't understand either).
Bridge that scrapes Trump's Truth Social and auto-posts to Nostr.

I've been trying to do this with the Crump Bitcoin Report Card." Plan to put out a "day 1" report card either later today or tomorrow. See https://stacker.news/items/774165
No doubt there's a whole lot of promises going on today. Some wild ones too.
Elon just said, "Doge to Mars!" Here we go.
Truth be told on Ross Ulbricht:
(a) He should have gone to jail. I know, I know..."he just made the tool, he didn't use the tool." However, he knowingly allowed that tool to be used for criminal activity, some of it horrible activity. Saying "free speech" while allowing another to commit crimes doesn't wash one's hands clean of those crimes that are committed. He knew what was going on, he knew heinous things were being done thanks to his site, he hid from it, he got caught. If I built a sledge hammer, then a child commenced to beating another child over the head with it while I watched, I'm not clean of what happened.
(b) That said, his sentence was far too punitive. It basically equates to "cruel and unusual punishment" as the DOJ clearly sought to use his case to set an example.
(c) His time has been served, I hope he gets commuted today and starts life anew.

#bitcoin #crypto To me, the Trump coin silliness in a word: disappointing. I'm sure many of Trump's people have zero knowledge of this type of thing yet are jumping in. Many will lose money. Still, this article brings up a fair point when compared to traditional finance.
nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7 in his element. Reminder to not take life too seriously. Don’t forget to play 🤙🏼🌴
Nice swing. Think I woulda driven that slightly over the plate pitch more up the middle, but you turned on it so that's good too.
