GM 🌞☕ Stay nostrich and stack humble relays! Let's keep the land of Nostrovia decentralized 🫡

Go out. Have drinks. Tell people.

Going to give a talk about bitcoin to parents and children at a world schooling hub in Vietnam.

What would your key points be?

30min presentation. All westerners. No orange-pilled person, just a few “I also invest in bitcoin” kind.

All the nocoiners I talk to are in despair. They only see things getting worse. Number go up will make them come. Just planting seeds.

Watching the chain can be quite relaxing.

I’ve sent a lot of zaps and not one payment has failed. Lightning is pretty incredible. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I used to check the price every morning.

These days I check TestFlight for a new Damus update. 💜

When did you join nostr?

Good morning friends ☕️

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

I’ve learned that stacking and hodling Bitcoin is basically just about living within your means and being happy with what you have.

Eat healthy, stay active, work on things that are meaningful to you and avoid wasteful consumption.

An army of people doing that should win over the world.

it is frustrating how many friendships are ruined due to jealousy once you find a tiny bit of success

Bitcoiners value bitcoin far higher than the current market price. The hodler bedrock is rising all the time. The times of available supply at these ridiculous levels is coming to an end.

1) Prices in a free market fall to their marginal cost of production.

2) The marginal cost of production keeps falling towards zero due to technological advancements

Which means that if “your” prices are going up over time….1) it is not a free market and 2) you’re measuring from an inferior currency to Bitcoin.

How did you end up here?
