Nice! Keen to learn more!

You never know and for what reason you might be banned or blocked. Of all the places, it was at the cottage where the local ISP had decided to ban certain domains (.app). I thought my sites were down, and after a bit of troubleshooting, fired up my VPN with an exit node elsewhere. All worked fine from that point on. Lesson-learned, always have a VPN at the ready to use when travelling

1. Bitcoin is personal money for anyone.

2. Nostr is personal agency for everyone.

My review of “Resistance Money” by Andrew Bailey, Bradley Retter and Craig Warmke

This book introduced me to another way of thinking about Bitcoin - beyond my own reasonably well-informed (and likely biased) perspective to one of being one out of 8 billion people pondering the question of whether the existence of bitcoin (or not) makes this world a better place. From my perspective, it is a resounding YES, but now I consider the 7.9999999999 billion people who might have a different answer.

Reasoning 'behind the veil' - leaving behind my own perspective, and putting myself in a place where my circumstances could different and less fortunate than my current situation is a powerful thinking tool. This made me realize that my own resoluteness and certainty, with a limited perspective, could be off-putting to someone who is isn’t quite there yet, and who has legitimate concerns that are simply not part of my frame of reference. If your plan is to discuss with others, policymakers, or ordinary people who haven't quite made the leap, this book provides a rich toolkit of ideas, arguments and topics that can be used (maybe not all at once) to keep a constructive conversation moving forward.

In the end, the book provides no definitive conclusion on the goodness of bitcoin - that's not its purpose. Instead, it provides many positive indication of the goodness of bitcoin. Most importantly, this encourages you to explore and question with each other, whether this world will be a better place with bitcoin.

Here’s to a better possible world for everyone.

I am studying this NIP from nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft very closely as I see this being generalized to an approach to store private data on relays. My rationale is that it is way less risk to have a relay disappear than to store my private data on a custodial database protected by an admin password that gets eventually breached, which is almost a daily occurrence now. nostr:note122sn6zhd478zes7rckqdx20dvpwhx29yr50lqfurkvhz5jklz2xs7g0kda

I've been digging around, and yes That seems to be the case. I'd like it to remain - maybe we could call it something like 'private introduction message' to be used for introduction purposes only.

Have all the #nostr clients deprecated NIP-04 for NIP-17?

Is NIP-04 still being used?

Superb!

Still standing. Good to know.

Especially apt, given the events of the last few days.

Very nice, ser.

A nice gravel ride today.

If math were invented today it would be outlawed.

That belief is actively discouraged by those who made the mistake.

Good Afternoon

It’s exactly like free banking, which was a very successful model in some countries.
