I started a Pinstr board featuring Nostr profiles of bitcoiners with progressive, left leaning, and reformist political views.

I’m not trying to make Bitcoin a partisan topic, it simply isn’t. On the other hand, there is still a strong perception that all bitcoiners are libertarian or rightwing bent.

Therefore, it’s easy for progressives to feel lonely and isolated in the Bitcoin world, even more here on Nostr. This board aims to foster a sense of belonging and connection among like-minded individuals.

If you identify as a progressive bitcoiner, please share your profile, and I'll be happy to add it to the board.

And, of course, if you'd like to be removed, just let me know. 😉

Share this note to spread the word, and reach all progressives on Nostr! Thanks!

Back then, Szabo and friends did not know that "70% of people would reveal their computer password in exchange for a bar of chocolate".

Moreover:

- 34% volunteered their password when asked without even needing to be bribed.

- 79% of people unwittingly gave away information that could be used to steal their identity

Oldie but goldie BBC article:

This is inching toward what I'd like to have: the ability to search profile data (name, description, ...)

I gave nosbook.org a try, but the results are not really accurate or complete.

Yes. It works smoothly for me.

Thanks for sharing it, very informative!

I subscribed to the channel.

Of course ... I need more sleep. :)

Silly me!

Hey, nostr:npub1jfujw6llhq7wuvu5detycdsq5v5yqf56sgrdq8wlgrryx2a2p09svwm0gx,

There is a typo in this menu.

Keep up the good job!

From the linked article:

> There has always been a perceived libertarian or rightwing bent to Bitcoin.

This perception has no ground in reality, Bitcoin's potential transcends political divides as demonstrated by The Nakamoto Project report, an extensive survey that discovered:

- Bitcoin ownership is not meaningfully related to political orientation

- a typical Bitcoiner has a blend of liberal and conservative moral foundations

Therefore, making Bitcoin a partisan topic is simply not matching reality. You can download the report here:

According to Google Trends data, interest in "Nostr" over the past 12 months has been higher in coastal Chinese cities compared to other regions worldwide.

However, I'm not sure how accurate and meaningful this data might be.

Every Friday, I post a #FollowFriday note about "interesting Nostr users that are NOT posting about Nostr and Bitcoin".

Most with less than 1000 followers. 😉

I'd love to, but it's raining cats and dogs here! ☔

Even if Blossom would not work, the mere fact of not being associated with a shitcoin and stupid VC money makes it more likable than IPFS. 😛

I love how you connected a game for kids to advanced cryptography. I used to play something similar with my daughters, but never thought of anything like this. 😉

With the version I used (Dobble) you can play multiple different games, not just the one you describe.

Italian taxpayers are supposed to declare their Bitcoin holdings in a specific section of their yearly tax report. The section is: "Foreign investments and financial or patrimonial assets."

How romantic! The Italian government seems to believe that Bitcoins are ethereal objects residing in some exotic, remote nation. A financial cyberspace far beyond Italian borders.

#italy #tax

Also a great incentive to hodl and use Bitcoin as collateral for lending.

Great incentive to hodl and use Bitcoin as collateral for lending.

What's even more troubling is the rationale: "since cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular, we are going to increase their taxation".

That was it.
