Learning more every day. Writer of a book on Bitcoin + China and how the discourse there will affect your wallets and freedoms. Order the book at http://bit.ly/chinabtcbook PFP: Liu Xiaobo/刘晓波. Cover: Thomas Mann.

I've started linking only to people's Nostr in my articles or their website

I'll be speaking at the Oslo Freedom Forum about whether the world's states will follow the China's push for Central Bank Digital Currencies or digital privacy/autonomy and self-custody. Thanks to the HRF Financial Freedom Team for organizing and giving me the opportunity: nostr:npub1wlkfvm7dvnusz9fv44wuwucu0jp3lc3wqt36ax0lz33hukjga7wq6hqwhy nostr:npub1rscuek38p87xeawmpg9ssump8cjkgmz2j3rhnha4artvh0xjacwq9upeqk nostr:npub1cf3zeytdnwgwzz5pk2ax0vvmmlzad03xcft4d50ejrfhsh8pxcdsefx7gk

yesterday's American libertarians/an-caps vs. European libertarians/an-socs debate is today's Nostr user vs. Mastodon user - but maybe not for much longer if the two can be bridged

Most discovery is tied to word-concepts. So people love the X of Y like Stacker News is the Hacker News of Bitcoin mapping. This is the intuitive way to grow something - step into a demand category (it's how SEM/paid search operates). A few times, companies can define a category or a semantic word, but they often spend a ton to do so, and can lose out to second or third-follower companies.
