WE SHOULD RIP ARGENTINA OR URUGUAY.

BRAZIL WILL PROBABLY TRY TO BAN NOSTR IN SIX MONTHS.

LFG nostr 💜🚀

Nostr works in Brazil. Good luck shutting that down.

I don’t like automating my living systems. I like simplifying them. But maintaining one or two manual labor requirements. It keeps me better tuned to things, and more inclined to see a potential problem early if I turn something on and off every day.

Just had an amazing interaction with a based (and clearly autistic) bag boy at the grocery store.

As he's bagging away at record speed he says " CORPORATE REQUIRES ME TO GIVE THIS FLYER TO YOU BUT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE NOT LEGALLY ABLE TO FORCE ME TO PUT IT INTO YOUR BAG AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT IT."

Then he holds up this "get your free flu shot!!!" flyer and I'm like "appreciate it man, you clearly read the fine print" and he responds "NO I DID NOT READ THE FINE PRINT BUT I THINK IT IS MORALLY WRONG THAT THEY ASK US TO SNEAK THESE INTO YOUR GROCERY BAGS. WE SHOULD NOT BE DOING THAT."

So I'm like "good looking out man, definitely don't need the flyer."

And he's like "GOOD. THEY CANNOT MAKE ME PUT IT IN YOUR GROCERY BAG."

And I'm like "appreciate you fighting the good fight."

And he's like "YES."

And by this time he's finished bagging everything because he's fast as fuck, and then out of nowhere he's like "AT LEAST THIS LATEST BATCH OF FLYERS DOES NOT SMELL LIKE DOGSHIT."

And the cashier is like "you probably shouldn't say that in a grocery store dude."

And he's like "BUT THEY DID SMELL LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE INK THAT THEY USED."

Anyway, just wanted to share this story because it's a great reminder that YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLY WITH BULLSHIT, NO MATTER HOW SEEMINGLY SMALL, AND HAVING A TOUCH OF THE 'TISM CAN OFTEN HELP YOU SEE THROUGH THE BULLSHIT.

I recommend it first before BTC Standard, personally.

I read your book and Mandibles back to back. 👌

Broken Money was published a year ago this week

Thanks to everyone who read it, shared it, and reviewed it! 🙏

I resisted writing a book for years since it’s such a tedious process, until finally a book formed in my head that I felt needed to exist, and that was too distracting for me *not* to write. And then I poured everything I had into it.

The algorithms are designed to do one thing and one thing only, increase engagement to increase exposure time to ads. What increases engagement the most? Negativity. So they boost negative content and suppress positive content.

On Nostr the negative content has no power if we all simply ignore it.

I received a negative comment from someone last week. "Shut up loser" is all they said, I just blocked them and moved on. The best action is no reaction, to not give them attention. Let them be negative in their little corner of the Internet, doesn't affect me cause I won't engage with it and neither will the people who I do engage with.

ok i wanna know: what’s missing in your bitcoin life??

Let me be clear. If Kamala Harris somehow forces a 25% unrealized capital gains tax, the flight of capital out and subsequent collapse of the US markets would be absolutely breathtaking. And the ultimate result would be far lower tax revenues than we have right now.

that's a good and accurate analogy. i truly believe it's that some people don't want to let go of their egos and follower counts. starting over from zero is hard for some people.
