It's a good sign that nostr is politically diverse

It helps wider scale adoption

And stops nostr from going insane

We can agree on fundamental freedom of speech so we can talk about the things we disagree about like the size and roles of government

That's good for a healthy society

Most nostr content is focussed on the technology itself

The focus is natural and a good thing while the networks are bootstrapping

It will hopefully broaden in time but without losing the enthusiasm

Don’t compare yourself with other people,

Compare yourself with who you were yesterday.

The more I think about it, the more I believe, that the entire concept of macroeconomics was a grave mistake. There is no micro, there is no macro, there is just economics and flawed concepts used to obfuscate flawed ideas.

If you spent a few hours reading about the history of money and civilizations, you’d walk away an Austrian. And if you’re an Austrian, your two choices are gold (if you’re a pessimist), and bitcoin (if you’re an optimist). Every other ideology is ignorant, misinformed or malfeasant.

Explain Bitcoin Drivechains like I'm 10

Imagine you have a collection of trading cards, and you want to share them with your friends without actually giving them away. So, you decide to make copies of the cards and give those copies to your friends instead. That's kind of how Bitcoin Drivechains work!

Bitcoin #Drivechains are like special paths that connect different versions of Bitcoin. They allow you to move Bitcoin from the original Bitcoin network to another network, where you can do cool new things with it. It's like taking your trading cards to a different game where you can trade them for different cards or play new games.

⚡Let me tell you a thrilling tale about Bitcoin Drivechains!

Once upon a time in the land of Cryptonia, there was a magical currency called #Bitcoin. It had the power to make people rich and change the world of finance. But there was a problem - Bitcoin could only do a limited number of things in its original form.

One day, a brilliant wizard named Satoshi came up with an idea to make Bitcoin even more powerful. He created special pathways called Drivechains that allowed Bitcoin to travel to different realms of possibility.

These Drivechains were like teleportation portals that led to exciting new worlds. In one world, Bitcoin could be used to buy magical potions and spells. In another, it could be used to unlock hidden treasure chests filled with riches. And in yet another, it could be used to play games with fantastical creatures.

People from all over Cryptonia were amazed by the possibilities. They could now take their Bitcoin, hop onto a Drivechain, and explore new realms of adventure and opportunity. It was like having a secret magical gateway to endless fun and fortune.

And so, the legend of Bitcoin Drivechains spread far and wide. People young and old embarked on daring quests, using their Bitcoin to unlock new experiences and create incredible stories of their own.

Remember, young one, Bitcoin Drivechains are like the keys to a whole universe of possibilities. They allow you to go on thrilling adventures and discover treasures beyond your wildest dreams! Just make sure you use your powers wisely and always be cautious in the ever-changing world of Cryptonia. 🧙‍♂️⚡️🔑✨

The idea is to give Bitcoin more flexibility and let people use it in different ways while still keeping it secure. It's like having multiple playgrounds for your Bitcoin to hang out in. Pretty neat, huh? 😎

Always ask your parents or a grown-up if you have any questions about Bitcoin or anything else!

I’ve been thinking of gathering in real life people who appreciate Nostr,like a big meeting for nostr users. What do you think about it? We could all get together, go to a pub, talk about Bitcoin,life,music,or whatever is on our minds. People that don’t live in Toronto are also welcome! Tell me your thoughts about it.

You're just not interesting enough. I'm interested in people who want to solve big problems, and who have the guts to do it; not followers, hangers on "Me too", REEEEEEEE people who have nothing interesting to say, nothing interesting to offer, limited perspective, copycats, Cultists and other boring snore manufacturers who are looking to be patted on the head.

DON'T YOU KNOW THERE'S A WAR ON?

**Bitcoiners should do the work and figure out self-custodied lightning.** Yes, even for pocket change. Yes, even if it means you can't see zaps.

If normies or casuals end up using custodial solutions, that sucks, but it's entirely predictable. But if you are all-in on the ethos of bitcoin as a tool that enables self-sovereign control over money, then help us keep the culture alive.

Lightning has a lot of issues and the direction of how this ecosystem plays out is in a bit of a precarious state. The barrier to entry for running and managing a lightning node is high. I get it. But if the most hardcore bitcoiners aren't willing to forgo trusted third party intermediaries, then we're sowing the seeds for lightning to become a network of centralized, trusted service providers from top to bottom.

If there's no demand from bitcoiners for improved self-custody UX, then people aren't going to build solutions. Every bitcoiner who chooses to sacrifice self-sovereignty for convenience is ever so slightly tipping the scales towards a culture that favors such expediency.

I don't think this is hyperbole. Lightning is super early and this is precisely the time to set a strong cultural foundation because it will only get worse over time as we've seen with on-chain bitcoin.

If an idiot like me can do the work and figure it out, you can too.

Happy Sunday FamFam ☀️🐻 Heading out for a skate 🛼🛼 What skills are you working on #plebchain?

Btw you should turn on “always show images”. This removes blur everywhere.
