I can confirm that X, youtube and Instagram are blocked in Turkey atm.
Centralized platforms suck!
Go Nostr!

The state cannot stay as it is if it embraces Bitcoin. So state will have to evolve to something else if Bitcoin stays decentralized.
Any lucid dream masters out there?
I need some guidance from someone experienced.
The inherent possibility of humans using violence to steal possessions creates a fundamental incentive towards violence. This scales up to nations, where armies are used to achieve goals through war, leading to the war industry becoming the largest industry.
Emergence of Bitcoin in 2009 has started a paradigm shift in human interaction . Since Bitcoin cannot be stolen through violence, it reverses violence based incentive structure to a negitiation based one. To obtain value, negotiation and mutual exchange are required. This new incentive at the root of human interaction will scale us up to a significantly more peaceful civilization.
Play with Bitcoin.
You cannot know how it is like to play basketball just by reading about basketball and learning all the rules of the game.
Bitcoin is the unknown revealing itself to the known.
It cannot be comprehended like the familiar "things" that are known.
It defies definition.
It can only be pointed at.
It is not grasped intellectually.
It is intuited.
I used to have this a lot. it was not a pleasant experience. Because I could not stop it when I wanted to. it used to consume a lot of mental energy.
if it is not a pleasant experience for you too. I cannot reccomend meditation enough.
It helps to cut through the inner voice and over time the unsolicites inner voice slows down and practically disappears

"Assange may be free, but justice has not been served.
Justice would look like Assange being granted a full and unconditional pardon and receiving millions of dollars in compensation from the US government for the torment they put him through by his imprisonment in Belmarsh beginning in 2019, his de facto imprisonment in the Ecuadorian embassy beginning in 2012, and his jailing and house arrest beginning in 2010.
Justice would look like the US making concrete legal and policy changes guaranteeing that Washington could never again use its globe-spanning power and influence to destroy the life of a foreign journalist for reporting inconvenient facts about it, and issuing a formal apology to Julian Assange and his family.
Justice would look like the arrest and prosecution of the people whose war crimes Assange exposed, and the arrest and prosecution of everyone who helped ruin his life for exposing those crimes. This would include a whole host of government operatives and officials across numerous countries, and multiple US presidents.
Justice would look like a hero's welcome and a hero's honors from Australia upon his arrival, and a serious revision of Canberra's obsequious relationship with Washington.
Justice would look like formal apologies to Assange and his family from the editorial boards of all the mainstream press outlets which manufactured consent for his vicious persecution — including and especially The Guardian — and the complete destruction of the reputations of every unscrupulous presstitute who helped smear him over the years.
If these things happened, then we could perhaps argue that justice has been served to some extent. As it stands all we have is the cessation of one single act of depravity by an empire who's only backing off to make room for newer, more important depravities. We all still live under a globe-spanning power structure which has shown the entire world that it will destroy your life if you expose its criminality, and then stand back and proudly call this justice."

We have been witnessing a major techno-societal breakthrough with Bitcoin. It is similar to the invention of the printing press, which over multiple centuries led to the separation of the state and the church. The printing press revolutionized access to information, decentralizing knowledge and undermining the monopolistic control of the church.
Bitcoin is performing a similar function in the realm of finance by separating the state and money. This process is confusing and challenging for many because it is happening extremely fast, driven by technological advancements and global interconnectedness. Unlike the gradual shift that took centuries with the printing press, the separation of state and money through Bitcoin will be complete in a few decades, fundamentally transforming our economic and political landscape in an unprecedentedly short period.
Recognizing reality as more than just physical matter transforms existence into a wonder.

Hello plebs!
I'd like to hear some perspectives from people I know that they care about #Bitcoin.
I do not like ordinals at all. I think they are stupid. People who push them give ne cringe.
I also believe in free market so in my current understanding, I feel like even stupid jpegs have right to compete in the free market for the block space.
I think this topic is an important topic to have an open converesation about.
🙏
Good point.
Friends that are knowledgable on HW wallets!
Is it possible for a coldcard or a similar hw wallet to leak private keys to a computer when it is connected with a usb c cable?
Ps: I know you can use cold card with an sd card.
Most posts I make on Nostr feel to some extent like a challenge. And I post them anyway. I enjoy that challenge. I write them in part *because* they are challenging.
I'm putting uncomfortable thoughts into the decentralized Nostr void to anyone who wants to host what I say on their relay.
That's why I'm here. I'm adding my thoughts to this medium to help advance it. I write here the things I wouldn't post to the normies on Twitter/X. Only on Nostr do I embrace my weirdness and inappropriateness. I analyzed this ecosystem, and decided that you, and only you, yes you reading this who took the time to be here, deserved to see my real or "based" thoughts to the extent that you care about them. And that includes my weaknesses. I've shown those in some of my recent posts, and I'll continue to show you my weaknesses here. I wrote about the times I got rekt in a fight and cried. I'll type that kind of thing out here, and only here, on Nostr, again and again.
If I post something intellectually polarizing I start to think, "what would my followers think?" But then I'm immediately like, "I don't know. Who cares. If they hate my truths here then were they even real my followers to begin with? Maybe they need to be challenged."
Meanwhile, I *do* care what you all think in aggregate, am willing to disagree with you individually on certain topics, but want to hear your thoughts. And I'm willing to change my views based on you. In fact, many of my Twitter/X posts are there over the past years because I want to see what people comment with before I write my full-on reports. The same is likely true for Nostr. This is raw ground. I want your thoughts. I won't bend my truths toward you, and I'll challenge you, as I expect you to challenge me.
So, if someone takes the effort to be on Nostr and some how reads this, I want them in my ecosystem. I want their criticisms as much as their praise. Criticize me here. I'll enjoy it. Let's go. You're awesome.
And then I'm like "What about my business contacts?" I have like these various billionaire institutional close contacts that are richer than me but have to wear ties to work. But I mean, if they are reading this right now, they are fucking awesome. I think, any of my serious existing business contacts who are cool enough to be here, are likely people I want to continue to work with. If they don't like what I say, they can bring it up with me. Otherwise they can appreciate my rawness here, and recognize that Nostr is where I post my random thoughts or my deep thoughts, and either of which are my raw thoughts.
My goal is to be real, and to advanced this protocol.
The day that far more people are on Nostr, is the day I will practice more public moderation. Until then, and that's probably far away, it's the medium where I will drop f-bombs and describe weird situations and thoughts. Let's go.

It is a privallage to hear your raw thoughts Lyn.
I mean with Bitcoiners:)
What is #Bitcoin community's common denominator?
I wonder what would be one collective real world action that almost all #Bitcoin community would support.
What would be our real world common action denominator except holding Bitcoin?
If people start reposting this and write their comments under, it would be interesting to find out which ideas would emerge as more popular.
Imagine doing that single simple action all together...
What do you think nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc?
Good one. My Bitcoin journey started in 2018 so I am not very knowledgable on the details of the block wars. Something I want to dig deeper.
