#Introductions I've been here for a few weeks now and I still haven't formally introduced myself here, so here it goes:

I'm Saskya, I turned 34 today, I'm an activist for a political party persecuted by the dictatorship in #Venezuela and for more than 2 years I've found #Bitcoin to be a tool for financial freedom. In recent months I've had the opportunity to teach more people how to use #Bitcoin and among those trainings is how I came across #Nostr. And here we are!

#Hola #SeHablaEspañol Ya tengo unas semanas y aún no me habia presentado formalmente por aquí, así que aquí va:

Soy Saskya, cumplí hoy 34, soy activista de un partido político perseguido por la dictadura en #Venezuela y desde hace más de 2 años encontré en #Bitcoin una herramienta para la libertad financiera. Los últimos meses he tenido oportunidad de enseñar a más personas el uso del #Bitcoin y entre esas formaciones es que llegue a #Nostr. ¡Y aquí estamos!

With all the chaos and nonsense going on in the world right now, I wanted to share something that I believe is critical as it relates to what is happening on #bitcoin (the first global free market that can’t be cheated) versus a system of corruption (trying to stop that system) Either 1) through willful intent or 2) lack of knowledge.

(*the majority of people fall into the lack of knowledge group)

According to game theory and playoff matrices: even when there are very high rewards and low punishment (they wouldn’t get caught) approximately 10% of people won’t cheat - no matter what!They place a higher internal value on integrity that overrides external rewards. I’ve seen this number as low as 2.5% and as high as 20%.

Why is that important:

Although everyone wants to see themselves as one of the honest, the math says that between 80 - 97.5% of people will cheat depending on the rewards. Now enter money - the ultimate pot of gold with high rewards and low punishment for cheating because people don’t understand it. Most people will cheat - a mirror of the world we see and have seen in Bitcoin since its inception. Need inflation, bad for environment, drug money, doesn’t scale, crypto, meme coins - the list will go on and on because if people can “get rich at someone else’s expense - most will. Those are simply the numbers and always have been.

In fact, in prior periods of history, the honest were at a massive disadvantage because and would often be killed by the cheaters. Because the integrity was so rare, society would often celebrate these people after their deaths as lessons of what we wanted our higher selves to look like.

#bitcoin has changed the equation. Giving those with integrity the power. Why: because 2.5 - 20% of people that won’t cheat is a massive number - especially if many of those people are decentralized and can’t be “found”. Those are the people who eventually run nodes, contribute their time and energy to keeping #bitcoin decentralized and secure, watch for attack vectors, build value on top of this protocol, call out the cheaters, teach and advocate to help others see it. Those people simply can’t be bought, and more are joining every day.

That decentralized and secure protocol bounded by energy is repricing everyone and everything from the other system and it will continue to do so as that system tries to grapple with: the cheaters no longer make the rules.

It will be chaotic, many more will try to cheat (don’t be afraid to slay your heroes) but in the end…..Satoshi unlocked a way to put the best of us into a protocol that was best for all of us.

What a time to be alive.

Life is nothing but a journey towards truth, much better travelled with the help of others who are genuinely happy about your wins, and genuinely sad about your losses.

Goodnight Nostr. Catch you on the flip side.

I’ll tell you ahead of time.

The watchmen are retarded. They were retarded for the Middle East. They were retarded for the Patriot act. And they’re still retarded now.

Don’t give them information. Pressure them every step of the way. Assume retardation whenever possible.

Mock them when a meme presents itself.

Goodnight and wabi sabi, Nostr! 💜🫂🤙🏻

Well hello, Nostr,

I’m PGA golf professional and a Bitcoin enthusiast. I am totally new to the Nostr community! Looking forward to discussing a combo of golf, bitcoin, and technology. #golf #bitcoin #nostr #introductions

Change is the only constant. Clinging to who we are is like trying to hold water in a clenched fist — the tighter we grip, the more life slips away. Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must let our ego die to realize the truth of awakening. In this sacred surrender, we find ourselves reborn in awareness—reborn in the eternal now.
