#Nostr is making the internet great again
looks like the Moai on Rapa Nui
Elon trying to build the everything app, #Nostr is the everything protocol
I think they popped the cold ones and forgot to stream

The Bitcoin Bugle is satire - should be made more obvious IMO, an average person coming across this article and missing the "Stay Misinformed" subscription button would probably think it's a real story, not helpful for Bitcoin adoption
As I said in the original note, I am looking for a noob-boomer-friendly wallet, for smallish amounts. Phone is fine, but I want them to understand the concept of private key & seed phrase.
I definitely want a cold one. Sparrow seems to come up a lot. Do you have any favorites on the phone?
I'm about one-third through The Sovereign Individual. It is quite remarkable and clearly written. One key thing that I think it is getting somewhat wrong is technology. While it correctly recognizes that information technology can give a huge sovereignty uplift to individuals, it does not (yet at least) talk about the flip side of the tyrannical possibilities that it provides to states.
Also, the authors seem to have underestimated the amount of global collaboration taking place between industrial states in order to effectively control their populations.
I'd be very curious about your take on it!
GM! Have you read 'The Sovereign Individual'? Interesting thoughts and maybe a good follow-on to Mandibles + Bitcoin Standard
Which one do you usually recommend nostr:npub1lr2zzf989mvf393y0tv39ara6a4vddkd6y87z784up9vl6ks6j3qtudl6a ?

What are some noob-boomer-friendly #Bitcoin wallets (for low amounts)?

There are some usage stats on nostr.band. My subjective impression is that it's not growing much at the moment, except for a steep increase in "silent bots" likely aimed at gaming WoT.
I used to think it was a distinction without a difference, but I'm coming around to free as well. Not only in software -- hardware should really have the same philosophy. The number of people who valued the free principles has been far too low to push back effectively, and now we have devices that we don't own or control
Not according to Stallman, he argues that the motivation of "open source" is not freedom but practicality.
"[Free software and Open source] describe almost the same category of software, but they stand for views based on fundamentally different values. For the free software movement, free software is an ethical imperative, essential respect for the users' freedom. By contrast, the philosophy of open source considers issues in terms of how to make software “better”—in a practical sense only. It says that nonfree software is an inferior solution to the practical problem at hand."

I mean the FSF's definition of 'free' because it grants four freedoms (bad name I agree)
- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
- The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Free software vs. open source, where do you stand?
At least we don't have to campaign for the "right to have rights" (yet)
