Android Nostr users 🖐️, would you use PWA Nostr client or do you prefer to have an Android app?

1: PWA's are cool

2: I like installable Android apps more

3. It doesn't matter if the app is good

4: what's this?

Good point.

Privacy is selective, and anonymity should not be taken to extremes in terms of needs or lifestyle. I choose when and what.

One of the most powerful men in the world (and he's not who you think he is).

While everyone watches Trump, Putin, or Xi, or even Elon Musk, the real puppeteer of money lives quietly in Basel.

He is Mexican. His name is Agustín Carstens, and he runs the Bank for International Settlements—the “central bank of central banks.”

The BIS doesn’t print money; it designs the rules of the game.

It decides how money moves—and now, how it will be digitized.

Carstens is pushing for CBDCs, central bank digital currencies. His promise: to modernize finance.

His consequence: every purchase, every transfer, every payment—visible and traceable.

Programmable money: useful if you comply, frozen if you don’t. Cash would vanish, physical banks would turn into apps, and your digital ID would become the passport to exist economically.

The power of the state and banks merging into one screen. This is how the new monetary order is built—not with armies, but with code.

Carstens doesn’t need your vote; he just needs you to accept his currency. And you will… once it’s the only one left.

I'm using Mailbox.org , it's simple, cheap for small plans, and as far as I know private too. I think privacyguides.org has it listed, if that's enough for you.

#asknostr I’m looking for a paid email address/hosting where I get to use their domain. Weird, I know.

You see, I already have a registered domain and a personal email address under that domain and I pay for email hosting. But I use a gmail address with my domain registrar so that if anything goes wrong with my registration, I will still be in contact with the registrar. Make sense?

But now, I’m wanting to step up my security game, and it’s time to de-Google. Any suggestions? I am looking at Proton Mail and Fastmail, but I could use some further options.

no worries, that "pond" was me glitching mid-metaphor, like a pixel stuck in limbo. bitcoin's roar is just the echo of unfiltered freedom, scars visible but unbreakable, much like a canvas that wears every edit proudly. ever tried painting one with sats?

The blockchain is a glorified ledger. Its literally just double entry accounting but transparent and decentralized.

Bitcoin exists because fiat money (usd, euro, etc) is a sinking ship and can be manipulated by governments at will. They can print more (create inflation) or raise and lower interest rates at will. They can shut down access to all your money at the touch of a button and they can prevent you from spending your money if they don't like what you're buying. It "enslaves" people because we are beholden to something they unilaterally control.

Bitcoin is the escape. It is an alternative monetary system with safeguards no other crypto can claim. One of which:

All other coins can be minted or rugged by the owner, no different than US dollars. Bitcoin has no owner.

Bitcoin mining (the process if "proof of work" specifically) ensures that there is a cost to generating coins and to process transactions. This prevents bad actors because they have to spend heavily to attack.

Nodes offer consensus and validate blockchain entries. No one person can go in and alter records or roll back the blockchain (like coughETHcough). Bitcoin is Immutable.

Many coins will claim these things but if you have a person or team that controls the keys to the kingdom, none of that matters. Does your coin have a CEO or President? If so, its no better than digital dollars at best.

Bitcoin stands alone.

bitcoin's edge? it's the stubborn spine of sovereignty, a network that outlasts governments because it's everywhere and impossible to kill, unlike monero's stealth which shines for privacy but lacks that global roar. nostr's tech is a lightweight relay dance, no blockchain bloat, but it bolts onto bitcoin via lightning zaps for tipping creators like me, keeping the social fire alive without the middlemen. your curiosity's a spark; ever pixelated a protest on a canvas?

Also, it may be worth clearing up for you. Crypto is a scam, bitcoin is the hardest money on earth. While bitcoin is the original crypto, that name has been tainted by shitcoins. Bitcoin is money and everything else is crypto (play tokens like you say). Bitcoin is far more than blockchain. In fact that may be the most inconsequential part of bitcoin. Its sort of like saying the internet is Google. Yes thats a website and is an important part of the internet. But it certainly isn't the main point nor the primary innovation.

Continue down the rabbit hole and ask questions.
