bitcoin has been running for nearly 17 years

at the protocol level, no transaction has ever been blocked, no coin has ever been seized

not enough people appreciate the magnitude of these simple facts

😂😂😂

It’s called water vapour..

GM from whatever TF they’re spraying in the atmosphere today.

My husband thinks we should make a law that if you went to Epstein island, you can’t work for the government anymore. I agree.

See you in 2026.

No.

Obesity is driven not by calories, but metablic injury from industrial food substitutes, mainly fat substitutes (seed oils) and then sugar substitutes (hfcs).

Who else is still here from the December 2022 wave of nostr signups? 🫂🚀

I’ve been in Costa Rica for the last two weeks, many around Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna, Monteverde, and unfortunately there is not that much acceptance of Bitcoin in the shops. Looking forward to come to Bitcoin Jungle in about three weeks.

Fuck Fiat

You’re not here to go viral. You’re here to build signal in hostile territory.

This is Nostr. Protocol, not platform. There is no algorithm to save you. No corporation to beg. No moderators to blame. There is only what you say, how well you say it, and how often you show up.

Most will treat this like old ground. They’ll post into silence and call it censorship. They’ll mimic Twitter and call it decentralization. They’ll wait for results they didn’t earn.

That’s not you.

You’re here for war.

You take ground through engagement. Precision comments. Zero fluff. No reply guy flattery. You bring weight. You bring blood. You make the thread better or you don’t belong in it.

You quote posts to extend signal. Reposts are passive. Quote posts are tactical. You contextualize. You escalate. You reframe. You don’t say “look at this.” You say “this matters, and here’s why.”

Replies are your presence. Quotes are your force. Zaps are your vote. Don’t zap for dopamine. Zap for doctrine. Zap to build the world you want to live in.

Ten disciplined strikes in threads already burning are worth more than fifty lonely broadcasts into the void.

You are not on a platform. You are operating in a protocol. Everything you do is permanent, public, and proof of your thinking.

There are no excuses here. Only execution.

The infrastructure is neutral. The outcomes are not. You win by working. You rise by showing up. You build by speaking clearly in a fog of noise.

This is theological. This is tactical. This is cyberwar with a keyboard and conviction.

No shortcuts. No sympathy. No algorithmic welfare.

Just proof of work.

Just you.

And the wire.

LET THIS SINK IN .... COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE..

Circumcision is genital mutilation.

Leave your child's penis alone.

Soap exists and has for a long time; it's no more difficult to keep a penis clean than it is a vagina.

20 years ago, Islamic terrorists blew up this bus in London and murdered 56 people. The man behind the attacks, Haroon Rashid Aswat, is now being released.

A mass murderer, walking free in London, while British moms sit in jail for social media posts.

Took my homeschooled son for his basketball physical today. Predictably, the physician immediately pivoted to pushing multiple vaccines. When I declined, he pressed for justification.

My response was direct: “I don’t trust your institution or the regulatory framework governing it.” He launched into rehearsed statistics, the same talking points designed to manufacture consent through appeals to authority rather than genuine informed consent.

I cut through the theater: “He’s my child, not yours.”

The conversation ended there. No coercion, no further attempts at manipulation. Just acceptance of parental authority as it should be

The only good thing about stablecoins is it provides a survival alternative for poor people in places without access to the least weak fiat currencies, as well as their inability to deal with bitcoin's fiat denominated volatility as it is now. To all the rest it is indeed just a fiat extention.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion:

1. Corrupt the new generation through subversive teachings.

2. Destroy family life.

3. Dominate individuals by encouraging their vices.

4. Debase the arts and prostitute literature.

5. Undermine respect for religion; discredit priests as much as possible by spreading scandalous stories about them; encourage high criticism in order to undermine beliefs and provoke gossip and disputes within (faith of the Church.

6. Encourage unbridled luxury, fantastic fashions, and crazy spending; and gradually make it difficult to enjoy healthy and simple things.

7. Distract the attention of the masses through popular entertainment, games, popular competitions, etc.; in a word: distract the people to prevent them from thinking.

8. Poison minds with harmful modern theories, ruin the nervous system with innocent sarcasm, and weaken bodies by inoculating them with viruses from various diseases.

9. Create universal discontent and hatred between social classes.

10. Strip the aristocracy of old traditions and their lands, burdening them with formidable taxes, forcing them to incur debts; replace people of race with business laborers, and establish the worship of the golden calf everywhere.

11. Poison relations between workers and employers through strikes and lockouts, thus eliminating any possibility of good agreements that could result in fruitful cooperation.

12. Demoralize the upper classes by all means and provoke the fury of the masses by showing them the clumsiness and stupidity of the rich.

13. Allow industry to exhaust agriculture, and gradually transform industry into unbridled speculation.

14. Encourage all kinds of utopias in order to lead the people astray into a formidable labyrinth of impractical ideas.

15. Increase wages without any benefit to the worker, in view of the simultaneous increase in the cost of living.

16. Provoke incidents that cause international suspicion, poison the antagonism between peoples, create hatred, and multiply costly armaments.

17. Agree to universal suffrage, so that the destinies of the world and of nations are entrusted to uneducated people.

18. Dethrone all monarchies and establish republics everywhere; intrigue so that the most important positions are entrusted to people who have some big secret to keep, in order to be able to dominate them through fear of scandal.

19. Gradually abolish all forms of constitutions and replace them with the despotism of Bolshevism.

20. Organize large monopolies, in which all fortunes will die on the day of distribution and political crisis.

21. Destroy all financial stability, multiply economic crises and prepare for universal bankruptcy; halt the running of industry, discredit all values, concentrate all the gold in the world in certain hands, leave immense capital in absolute paralysis, and, at a given moment, suspend all credit and sow panic.

22. Prepare the agony of all states, exhaust the unity of suffering, anguish, and deprivation, for hunger creates slaves.

Nostr sometimes feels like that awkward party where everyone’s standing in corners checking their phones instead of talking. We’ve built this incredible censorship-resistant protocol, escaped the algorithm plantation, and then… crickets.

Here’s the psychological trap: we assume someone ELSE will engage, so we lurk instead of participate. Classic bystander effect meets network effects. Meanwhile, we’re all secretly refreshing our notifications hoping for that sweet dopamine hit of human connection.

The brutal truth? Nostr’s value isn’t in the protocol, it’s in US using it. Every like, zap, and repost creates positive reinforcement loops that keep people posting quality content instead of doomscrolling back to the bird app. We’re literally Pavlov’s dogs, but we can choose to ring each other’s bells.

Engagement breeds more engagement, and network effects are how we build the future.

P.S. - If you didn’t engage with this post, you just proved my point. 😏

open source software is powerful because anyone can verify, modify, distribute, and use without permission

a robust open source ecosystem empowers all of us to take agency over our lives

fighting with people over what software they run is mostly unproductive, run what you want, thats the whole point

The masculine urge to build a massive slingshot from any tree that looks like this.
