It'd be nice if other subcultures migrated as well
Cost of raspi's has come down right?
Want to buy one
Muun has QR detection problems sometimes as well
Free speech and enterprise aren't really imbibed into us as a core value growing up here in India. It's an obscure concept that seems to be out of place in our culture.
So I do not trust the legal system or our culture to embrace it or support it in any sense.
You can fight for it, provided you have the resources. That's for people who are 'relevant'.
But what of the people who choose irrelevance and obscurity? Or those who are forced into it?
Tor, Nostr, Bitcoin and a myriad of censorship-resistant tools out there.
Beneath the veil of memes, ponzis, monkey jpegs, pornography and drug markers are tools that empowers voices of dissent.
Dissenters are indeed annoying to a lot of people. 'Nobody cares bro shut up' is what we usually tell the opposition. Till someone actually shuts them up.
Amount of anger at crypto stuff outside of Bitcoin is going away again
Maybe we might have had a lot more liquidity and a lot more favourable regulation and perception for Bitcoin if it weren't for Shitcoins
Very enthu on fiat<->btc<->fiat to be a good stepping stone towards hyperbitcoinisation.
There is no market cap.

Why does nostr matter for India?
Divisive ideologies will exist no matter what.
Incumbent parties who are based on them will eventually resort to censoring people they don't like.
It has happened. Will happen.
These tools are useful. Just in case.
It's better to have access to tools necessary to resist censorship than crying about it.
Yeah the concern seems a bit overblown tbf
Take care of opsec, put on a normie mask on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.
Go crazy on nostr then?
1. Sufficient liquidity didn't come into btc/fiat markets.
Exp: For the next decade atleast, till we transition to using Bitcoin to buy goods and services, exchanges are necessary to onboard people. Especially Bitcoin-focused exchanges. More volume on spot markets for different fiat currencies is better. Especially for those outside of USD, EUR, GBP, CNY, JPY and the other big ones.
2. Connections between full nodes aren't sufficiently private.
This is what projects like BIP324 is trying to achieve by raising the cost of doing deep packet inspection, MITM, etc.
3. Supply chains of ASICs doesn't get sufficiently distributed.
We need more manufacturers from the global south producing ASICs outside of existing production regions.
4. User-friendly Privacy.
I don't have well-informed thoughts about this except that developers think existing privacy solutions are not sufficient to make Bitcoin fungible.
Personally, I think taproot made multisigs more private.
5. Lightning UX.
Of course Bitcoin has to scale and existing UX on lightning is simply not good enough. Important question is: can people without technical expertise be able to run a node, open and close channels and route transactions. I believe we can get there. We must get there.
Same phone here. Faced the same issue.
Try the classic reinstallation fix. I was able to use it after that.
Yeah but I can't really use it properly yet. Iris on Android is still not that great to use. Hoping it gets better.
My phone is filling up with LN wallets
Gotta shift to a bitcoin-focused company soon
