My first attempt was an error from ibex mercado dot com. Will give it another go over the weekend.

$550 B from smaller banks to bigger banks.

The smaller banks are getting zapped! (In a different way.)

On Iris.to at least, my "L N U R L s" was transmogrified into a "Zap icon Pay with lightning" link. Oh my!

I thought one just abandons an account, but there is no delete (yet).

Okay, that is gross. But thank you for the explanation! (And the personal sacrifice!) I had been wondering if it had been a miracle, like Jesus toast.

Happy first day of spring!

Raining here in L.A. What you got?

Well, the flag is a big plus.

Look at #BTC this weekend. Hello, 28000. ๐Ÿ‘€

Alas, I wish I'd had more ability last year to DCA in the teens.

Beyond Free Speech: Unleashing the True Power of Liberty

------------------

It's truly baffling when leftists obsess over free speech while seemingly downplaying the significance of property rights and personal liberties. This skewed perception of freedom is, to put it mildly, utterly perplexing.

Sure, free speech is important. It's the cornerstone of a functioning democracy, enabling the robust exchange of ideas and the voicing of dissent. But let's not forget that it's only one element of true freedom. When compared to property rights and the liberty of movement and association, free speech pales in significance.

Imagine a world where you can say whatever you want, but you can't own anything, travel freely, or hang out with whomever you choose. Would you still feel free? The ability to voice our opinions becomes a hollow privilege in the absence of these more tangible liberties.

Moreover, the fixation on "public" forums is an oddity in itself. The idea that the government or society should regulate the spaces where free speech is exercised only serves to undermine the very essence of the freedom they claim to champion. Instead, let's push for the decentralization of discourse, empowering individuals and communities to shape their own destinies without the looming shadow of state intervention.

So, let's not be misled by the allure of free speech as the ultimate freedom. Instead, let's strive for a world where property rights, personal liberties, and the sanctity of individual choice take precedence. For it is only in such a world that the true spirit of freedom can thrive.

I am not familiar with leftists who obsess over free speech or who downplay property rights or who downplay personal liberties.

Am I a leftist? What do I know! I thought I was, but whenever I look into a specific issue, I see that I agree with like 60 to 80 percent of Americans.

Anyway, I don't disagree with the note; I in fact agree with the concepts in your note โ€” except baffled by your bafflement.

I'm quite happy to pay for a nostr relay. Except which one? It seems impossible to choose. So I haven't paid.

I don't want 100,000,00 sats. I want 100,000,000 zaps.

Ztack โšก๏ธs and ztay humble.

For the role of Official Musician of Nostr, I nominate Frank Zappa.

Or, as he is known in these parts, Frank โšกpa โ€” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKrBuiVH9_s

Happy St Patrick's Eve to those who celebrate it. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

But to the rest of you crazy kids, Happy Zapathon Day! โšก๏ธ

Happy Ides of March. I'm busy today with work, my buddy Julius is looking forward to his Senate hearings later today, and I hope it's a good one for you, too!

Happy pi day!

A little known fact is that here on nostr today, and today only, pi stands for "pura ida" and pv stands for "pura vuelta."

Normally, we honor pura vida, but today we honor all our comings and goings, and our annual round trip around el sol.
