Just in: Jim Cramer says: "I can't believe some people on the internet think bitcoin will go over $200,000 this year, it's not going to happen, it’s just not"...

Buy signal.

Everyone wants success — but only the disciplined ever gets there.

If you're tired of procrastinating, getting distracted, or playing small, this is your wake-up call.

I'm convinced it's like that. That's how it is! But who uses them who is inside in bitcoin since 2015 that has now made a stratospheric gain. Not those who are trying to put one away with the savings of a lifetime. 🤷‍♂️

🟣 THE SPAGHETTI-NOSTR CONNECTION

Just like throwing spaghetti at the wall to test if it’s cooked, Nostr is in its experimental phase where developers and users are testing what features and applications will truly stick and become essential.

ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION

Much like spaghetti, which evolved from ancient Mediterranean noodles to become a global culinary phenomenon, Nostr represents a fundamental evolution in how we communicate online. The protocol’s elegant simplicity mirrors spaghetti’s basic ingredients - just wheat and water - yet both create endless possibilities.

DECENTRALIZED NATURE

Just as spaghetti spread across cultures and regions, being adapted and modified to local tastes, Nostr’s decentralized architecture allows for diverse implementations and use cases. The protocol’s relay system ensures messages flow freely across the network, much like how spaghetti production spread from Sicily to the rest of Italy and beyond.

THE STICKY PARTS

WHAT’S WORKING

Nostr’s core strengths are already proving themselves:

🔘 Cryptographic key-based identity system providing genuine privacy

🔘 Censorship resistance through decentralized relay networks

🔘 Direct monetization capabilities through Lightning Network integration

THE EXPERIMENTAL PHASE

Like early Italian chefs experimenting with different sauces and preparations, Nostr developers are testing various applications:

🔘 Social media alternatives

🔘 Encrypted messaging systems

🔘 Content monetization platforms

🔘 Community-driven governance models

FUTURE IMPLICATIONS

The beauty of both spaghetti and Nostr lies in their adaptability. Just as spaghetti transformed from a regional Italian dish into countless global variations, Nostr’s protocol could evolve into applications we haven’t yet imagined.

Remember, when the Arabs introduced pasta to Sicily, nobody could have predicted it would become Italy’s national dish. Similarly, while we’re still discovering Nostr’s full potential, its fundamental properties of #decentralization and #censorship resistance suggest it could become a crucial infrastructure for digital freedom.

Whether all current #Nostr experiments will stick remains to be seen, but like that perfect al dente #spaghetti, the core protocol is proving to be a robust foundation for whatever comes next.

Onwards⚡️

Thanks so much for the honest reply, really appreciate you taking the time.

It’s both helpful and a bit disheartening to hear. I was hoping Italy might be bold enough to embrace Bitcoin more openly. It feels like such an obvious path to rejuvenate the country, so much potential if only the mindset shifted. Sadly, it seems the fiat comfort zone still has a strong grip, reinforced by relentless MSM conditioning.

Your point about needing income from outside and avoiding setting up a business locally really hits home. That level of taxation and bureaucratic pressure would crush most sovereign-minded ventures before they begin. It’s frustrating, because the quality of life and cultural depth in Italy are incredible, but the system seems almost designed to push people away.

Feels like we’re all searching for our citadels these days. I keep hoping for pockets of sanity and courage across Europe, but the EU looms like a spectre over everything, pushing CBDCs, harmonising control, and suffocating local sovereignty. Still, we keep building, connecting, and staying orange-pilled.

Thanks again, friend. Hope to see you around Nostr, stay sovereign. 👊🏻

Thank you. It is a wonderful city. Birthplace of paper currencies too, so how appropriate it is that you are now offering Bitcoin. Yes, I will stop by for a good steak if I make it back.

Grandissimi!! 🔥

Ciao! May I ask what the general sentiment is towards Bitcoin in Italy these days?

My mum is Italian and is moving back to Liguria from the UK. I’d love to join her one day, circumstances permitting, and I’ve been considering Abruzzo as a possible destination.

I was curious about how Bitcoin adoption is progressing over there. Do you see many vendors accepting it yet? Are there certain regions or communities where it’s more common? And how are people generally reacting to it, more open-minded or still quite sceptical?

From what I’ve been following, the legal and regulatory signals from Italy seem a bit mixed. I’m also watching the EU’s CBDC agenda with concern, it feels like they’re pushing hard in that direction, which could complicate things for Bitcoiners.

The UK, sadly, is still way behind. Hardly any vendors accept Bitcoin, and most people are still stuck in a very fiat-centric mindset.

Sorry for the barrage of questions, just really interested in what it’s like on the ground from someone actually there!

Magari
