GOOD MORNING NOSTR, WE CRUSHED THIS EPOCH FAM. LETS RUN IT BACK BETTER AND HAVE EVEN MORE FUN THIS TIME AROUND.

STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS. RIDE OR DIE FOREVER. 🫡

supposedly the Western Union CEO got so triggered last cycle he sent his lawyers to try and find an angle to come after Strike and me personally. a former WU lawyer told me some crazy stories

someone tell this tough guy to come join us on nostr. we can talk about Lightning and hash it out like grown men in public with no lawyers 🤣🤣🤣

we are winning 🫡

Like an adult version of hot chocolate in the morning 😅👌✅

rights aren’t given, they’re taken.

bitcoin and nostr help you take and defend them, peacefully.

If you are reluctant to call out bullshit because you fear it may jeopardize your social or economic capital, you are not free.

Are you gonna try?

Good morning

About to put some of this in my coffee 🤤 Do any of you add butter to your coffee?

The more you reinforce a system based on theft, the more it steals from you, divides you, and then controls you.

From that system, war is inevitable because it is a requirement that you believe it is someone else’s fault to retain its power over you.

With the chaos from the existing system bound to expand over the next number of years, it will be easy to get pulled back in.

The more you reinforce a system based on truth, the faster the world changes to hope and abundance. We are early, but our actions matter more than we realize. Every node (we) matters.

Keep the higher ground, and help others see it.

nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?

"are you awake yet?" == "woke"
