Yep, this is why I think freedom wins in the long run.
The rise of the internet has changed the trajectory of humanity more than any other technology. God bless America for that.
It's inherently anarchist and libertarian in nature, with Bitcoin, Nostr and cryptography in general taking this characteristic to another level.
Given a choice between two people:
1) Someone who is a Bitcoin maximalist and is supportive of welfare spending, taxation, govt spending and socialism
2) Someone who is a Bitcoin critic/skeptic but is supportive of free speech, free enterprise, free market capitalism and against govt interference in the economy
I'd consider the latter as more of an ally
I think Bitcoiners are one part of a deeper 21st century liberal movement and not at all at the center of it. I might say a lot of us in the Bitcoin community are disconnected from what's really going on because we are distracted by people identifying as cartoons online and suited moonbois pretending to care about freedom.
Vitor said collapsable and expandable threads are coming soon, so it should get better soon
1991 was a pivotal year for India.
The country took a big step towards the eradication of socialism.
The next big step will happen whether the Government likes it or not, because it will happen because of Bitcoin.
We can start thinking about it when end-to-end encryption comes to the protocol
For those who are curious, this is how citrine looks. It's just this screen.
If I want it to take a backup of my events, I have to add 'ws://localhost:4869' to my relay list and it will start storing the events I publish from my mobile client on my phone.
It won't retrospectively download my npub's older events as far as I know. 
Would be cool if citrine could communicate with other relays and download a backup of all the events you've published since the generation of your keys.
I don't think it syncs up with your old events as well. It only syncs the events you publish after you start running it.
To write a note as kind 1 or kind 30023 is the question

Agreed. Which is why modern states don't give absolute power to the legislature. It's not just a democracy, but a demcratic republic, which means power is distributed between the legislature, judiciary and the executive. (Theoretically, as this wouldn't be the case in dysfunctional states.)
The aspiration for libertarians should be a world where the latter two institutions protect the life, liberty and property of the country's citizens.
Having a legislature gives the people the ability to legally overthrow those who make the law once every few years. It is a liberal system, but has been subject to abuse primarily because of the fiat monetary system. Bitcoin fixes this.
In my opinion, Nostr, Bitcoin and the internet as a whole can enable a libertarian world because they enable free speech, voluntary exchange, better firms, propety rights and stronger formation of contracts between people.
If or how that will happen is the role and responsibility we have to take upon ourselves. đź«‚
Solid advice đź«‚
I like Bourdain's advice too
My point is, you can only realistically 'trust' the representative of your own local, state or national constituency and the head of govt of your local, state or national govt.
Everyone else are just representatives of the ideas they preach. They are public figures who don't really matter as people to us. We don't need to trust them at all.
Yep, I am aware of his regulatory action.
My opinion remains unchanged despite that.
What are the best options to have a personal relay, other than getting one from https://relay.tools?
Ideally it would be nice to have a relay with a backup/archivial focus.
Citrine on Android.
It's a relay that runs on your phone.
I think his ideas matter more than we realise. It matters more than him as a person or a politician.
The fact that he is a sitting president of a big country like Argentina in size and stature, and embraces libertarian ideas carries a lot of weight to it.
