Stevie!

I don't want to sound like this, but neither Trump nor Kennedy are going to do shit and acquire Bitcoin as reserves. Don't forget, Trump couldn't even build a simple wall. And the Federal Reserve Bank is even harder to crack.

Imagine donating to a presidential candidate lolol.

Sometimes I wonder if this is how telephone scammer justify scamming people.

NO PRIVACY? NO FREEDOM.

GOOD MORNING. 🫡

It is a typical feminine word to use as a way of social control. I don’t really know who is the intended target group, but I suspect younger women primarily.

Why is Nostr quite unpopular in the open source space?

I was at the FOSDEM conference and everyone was talking about Matrix, which is nowhere near Nostr in terms of polishness (in my opinion). I am not sure that people even knew Nostr there.

I'm not particularly impressed by bitcoin/crypto, but I do think decentralised social networks are incredible cool and powerful

that said, i do believe that the next generation of social networks will be multi-protocol with no winner takes all. Specialisation will likely happen both for social reasons (bluesky people dont often mix well with nostriches for example) as well as technical reasons

😆

Some will be left behind….

I am in a bitcoin bubble here, please do recommend some to follow..

Ya it's weird, Twitter is totally boring from a techie point of view

Sometimes I run into a tech guy on Twitter, who talks about how cypherpunk he is.

I’m just a financial analyst and investor, so that’s cool to hear. The more cypherpunks, the better. I like to fund cypherpunks.

But then I look around, and he’s not active on Nostr for over a year. He’s only active on centralized social media.

So then I am confused at how supposedly cypherpunk he is. Is he really that reliant on centralized media? Often, it turns out yes. If not, what other cryptographic proof does he have for his work?

As Nostr increasingly gains network adoption, it becomes weirder when I analyze why someone who is techie is highly active on Twitter but not at all on Nostr.
