Opt out, do not comply, buy bitcoin and go foiling.

I believe it's real - Mel Gibson was talking about it in the 80s.

GM nostr from Bali. It's ivermectin Monday for my wife and me. We take a weekly 12mgs and we have done since the beginning of the covid war. Ivermectin has been available here over the counter except for a period of about 4 months when it was suddenly banned. During this time we both got covid. Even though we've now probably got natural immunity I figure that there is no telling what Pfizer, Gates and the WEF have got coming down the pipe. May as well keep up our defenses. Have a great week! πŸ‘

I just tried you again - the error message flashes quickly but "could not assemble lightening address..." was part of what I could read.

Yes, that worked. Psyched. Thanks.

I'm on wos too so keen to see but when I touch on the lightening bolt in your note I get a lightening address error message.

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

β€’ Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

β€’ Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🀣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

It's ironic that one of the platforms used to steal the last election was twitter, controlled by Jack. Under his watch and with his assistance the swamp was able to install a decrepit criminal into the Whitehouse.

I am beginning to think that nostr is the cure for the designed scourge of social media addiction and dysfunction. For me there is a distinct and serene difference in my daily rhythm now that I am here. imagine the benefit to society if the next wave of teenagers are here rather than on tiktok etc.

Just paid sats to read this - what a smooth experience - and a great example of the acceleration you write about. For me, just a week ago, this wouldn't have been possible - now I'm on nostr, all set up and getting ready for the future. Bring it on!

Great preparation from Luke Broyles for this chat with @preston - Luke is an absolute super bull and has about 60 different charts and slides to back up his fervour. Fervour which is delicious and contagious.

The nostrich is only just a hatchling! What a growth spurt.

Not hard to get nuked from twitter. Happened to me the other day and to get back on I had to delete the post and provide my phone number. I like twitter as a newsreel so I capitulated but I won't post anymore and rarely engage.

This beautiful Valentine's morning, chilling in Bali, about to paddle out and feeling blessed having loved the same woman for 28 years. And now that I have received multiple zaps from across the earth, it is clear to me that we are winning, that maybe we have already won. Bitcoin + Nostr, so beautiful. Happy Valentine's Day lovers!

This guy was always annoying in whatever bit part he was play acting. Now he's running cover for Bloomberg and eth. What a good little soulless puppet.

Will do for sure, just wanting to check that I'm set up right.
