The best line I ever read!

It’s gods will you are a decent human being. /s

I’m not decidedly not religious and tbh don’t claim to be “spiritual” either, yet against all odds, still a decent human being

Crazy right 😲

Thinking about renting a bad ass VPS and start running a high performance bitcoin node, LN node and Nostr paid relay all in one place, a “decentralization beacon” in the internet.

🤜🤛

I am what???

How you feel that bitcoin can resolve real world problems?

Stay silent. Let your actions speak 🧡

Silence isn’t empty. It’s full of answers.

What exactly on earth? 😘

I want to give some sats! Tell me where are you from and the first time you heard of Bitcoin

So far, Nostr is just looking a lot like the early days of the internet protocols, namely TCP/IP, which is a decentralized protocol, but needs support from other services, DNS, DHCP, etc., to make it useful.

I'm seeing the exact same thing in Nostr, in that, it's a 'decentralized' protocol that isn't defining the required scaffolding to make it useful, which inevitably means those will be filled by centralized services. NIP-05 is proving this out. The relay model itself is pretty broken, as the user doesn't own their posts, the relay they send to does.

How is Nostr going to avoid all these pitfalls? Is anyone working on that?

Don’t you love when you receive an announcement, you go & click Learn More but it doesn’t teach u shit, it literally didn’t even open up 😭💀💀💀

“Enough sats” 🧐

Uk Politics (there is more in the world than Nostr and BTC).

Dear Rishi, it costs £100 per person per day to keep a migrant in detention. No country is going to accept them, so you aint sending them anywhere fast. Rwanda said they'd take what, 200? We have 40000 a year in small boats.

So you clock up a Billion year one, rising to 7 BN year 5.

Me, if i wanted to stop small boats I'd invest a few tens of millions in flooding the migrant route with undercover cops pretending to be migrants.

I'd also offer all migrants who help nail the traffickers, citizenship.

This would be cheaper and more effective, as the crims would simply go back to importing drugs instead of witnesses.

But what do I know. I'm not trying to dogwhistle the dump racist fucks who will mistake your bullshit for a policy that could work.

If the recent drop in Bitcoin is even on your radar, then you're ngmi

Free Nostr idea: create a nostr node that is text only and filters out any images to remain safe for work. It would be called tostr of course.
