I just deleted my twitter account. Nostr only from now on.

This global economic crisis is what goldbugs have been preparing decades for only to get rug pulled at the 11th hour by a superior asset: bitcoin. No wonder why Schiff is always so mad his lifes work has been usurped and he's been on maximum cope ever since.

Good morning Nostr

#Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution

good morning nostr, stay humble and stack sats 🫡

People at the top always use the worst tragedies to fulfill their agenda.

They start multiple wars, ban things they don't like, bail out multiple banks, take away our rights, and, most importantly, they never give anything back.

It's the same pattern every single time.

Jerome Powell: “Everyone knows, it’s not a secret; we know that we’re on an unsustainable path, fiscally.”

Yes, I get it, but having real skin in the game (the state knows who you are) makes your dissent much more powerful than if you are only saying it while invisible and unaccountable.

How many followers you have is small potatoes, especially when the reason you got those followers was from dissenting anyway.

I posted about it. In real-life reptuational risk adds skin in the game. But more importantly it sends the message that the censors are wrong, and you’re willing to stand up (with that real life skin in the game) for what you believe. Nyms undermine that because you’re only willing to say it under the condition it can never get back to you.

It feels a bit weird, but that’s not my main complaint (though IMO NOSTR would grow a lot faster were there more real names attached.)

My main complaint is that while private communications and life details should remain private, public square posts should be with names attached to the extent we want a robust public square and to beat back censorship.

And yes, it’s true anyone can pose as a real-life person while faking it, but I’m more talking about nyms who are obviously real people and encouraging them to post under their real names. The issue of verifying that is separate, though obviously important in that case.

I love the platform, BTW — just think now that we have this freedom tech, it’s the time to stand up for the courage of our convictions in the open.

Deleting my Twitter account several months was a very good step in terms of freeing up time and mental capacity. Today I deleted my Telegram account after some time of absence there and this feels good as well.

Just did a #zap giveaway on X. It took 3 hours to find 10 people to drop a Lightning address. How long will it take to do the same thing here? You don't even need to post your address. Just reply to this note for a zap. First 10 get paid.
