Bitcoin is decentralized hard money, unlike CBDC. If the world willingly adopts hard money that is a massive win from my point of view.
So you believe that the bitcoin economy would get bigger if, say, the G20 decided to make holding bitcoin illegal for their citizens?
And what would be a desirable outcome from the all-out war?
The peaceful adoption that is happening is a blessing IMO, why would you wish for an all-out war?
It would brilliant to rebrand #Nostr to FreeSpeech. That way, when government wants to come after a node, they have to say that they want to shut down FreeSpeech

Don't follow them back, they're bots and if you follow they've successfully gamed WoT
There's another wave of "silent bots" flooding into #nostr

What does "pro ETF" mean? Not being opposed to the existence of a Bitcoin ETF? Some Canadian ones already exist. US ETFs will enable large flows of financial energy into Bitcoin, which are currently sealed off from Bitcoin. Will it bring problems and nasty actors? Yes, because it will bring the World. If Bitcoin can't withstand it then it's not fit for purpose, right?
Most posts I make on Nostr feel to some extent like a challenge. And I post them anyway. I enjoy that challenge. I write them in part *because* they are challenging.
I'm putting uncomfortable thoughts into the decentralized Nostr void to anyone who wants to host what I say on their relay.
That's why I'm here. I'm adding my thoughts to this medium to help advance it. I write here the things I wouldn't post to the normies on Twitter/X. Only on Nostr do I embrace my weirdness and inappropriateness. I analyzed this ecosystem, and decided that you, and only you, yes you reading this who took the time to be here, deserved to see my real or "based" thoughts to the extent that you care about them. And that includes my weaknesses. I've shown those in some of my recent posts, and I'll continue to show you my weaknesses here. I wrote about the times I got rekt in a fight and cried. I'll type that kind of thing out here, and only here, on Nostr, again and again.
If I post something intellectually polarizing I start to think, "what would my followers think?" But then I'm immediately like, "I don't know. Who cares. If they hate my truths here then were they even real my followers to begin with? Maybe they need to be challenged."
Meanwhile, I *do* care what you all think in aggregate, am willing to disagree with you individually on certain topics, but want to hear your thoughts. And I'm willing to change my views based on you. In fact, many of my Twitter/X posts are there over the past years because I want to see what people comment with before I write my full-on reports. The same is likely true for Nostr. This is raw ground. I want your thoughts. I won't bend my truths toward you, and I'll challenge you, as I expect you to challenge me.
So, if someone takes the effort to be on Nostr and some how reads this, I want them in my ecosystem. I want their criticisms as much as their praise. Criticize me here. I'll enjoy it. Let's go. You're awesome.
And then I'm like "What about my business contacts?" I have like these various billionaire institutional close contacts that are richer than me but have to wear ties to work. But I mean, if they are reading this right now, they are fucking awesome. I think, any of my serious existing business contacts who are cool enough to be here, are likely people I want to continue to work with. If they don't like what I say, they can bring it up with me. Otherwise they can appreciate my rawness here, and recognize that Nostr is where I post my random thoughts or my deep thoughts, and either of which are my raw thoughts.
My goal is to be real, and to advanced this protocol.
The day that far more people are on Nostr, is the day I will practice more public moderation. Until then, and that's probably far away, it's the medium where I will drop f-bombs and describe weird situations and thoughts. Let's go.

Thanks for speaking freely Lyn - I think you could easily "afford" to add another 1-2 levels of rawness without shocking any nostriches
alright plebs, I have a puzzler for ya
let’s put my local township out of its collective misery and collect some relatively easy sats
our town’s radio station is running a contest to see who can guess the SFX below 👇
every wrong guess increases the honeypot by $25 CAD
- last we checked it’s around $5,000 🫠
If anyone can give a compelling guess, we will try to phone it in, and if we win I will buy sats with the proceeds, and split the sats 50:50, with proof of winnings/purchase

In #Bitcoin, the amount of coins mined during a four-year period equals the total amount of coins that remain to ever be mined after that period. GM
"Betting dollars to donuts" probably used to mean the opposite of what it does now since donut prices have inflated to record highs (along with everything else)
