Could be in the sense that hard money makes it harder for tyrants to wake war since they need to tax the population to do it. Also in the sense that bitcoiners tend to be peace loving people who just want to be left alone in my experience so them becoming more economically influencial could lead to influence over government away from war and towards more respecting individuals. Also competition for bitcoiners could make states focussed on pleasing their citizens rather than waging war. On the other hand, dependence on oil and gas for energy is going to be a constant source of tension so we will need nuclear or some other high density energy technology to be developed in all nations before we can truly move beyond the practical reality of needing to secure energy at any cost.
What McCoremack did with Bedford FC is probably an interesting case study. He also bought a bar. I think the soccer club thing is smart because the Bitcoin angle brings in fans and sponsorship and therefore is a direct and immediate competitive advantage.
On the other hand of it's the case you're local machine has been hacked I acknowledge that Nostr does not fix this and I apologize for victim blaming.
Nostr fixes this. Twitter is counter to the free and open source movement and as a bitcoiner you should have known that getting rugged was just a matter of time. It's like someone coming on here and complaining their sats got frozen by Coinbase and asking for help. The advice is don't use trusted centralized 3rd parties.
I updated my LNaddress to a self managed dash@btcpay0.voltageapp.io in an effort to be more sovereign than the WoS I was using previously. However, now when I get a zap I get no notification in Nostr. Is there some configuration I'm missing?

Because Apple won't let you build what you want. Hope I'm wrong though.
Supporting you Will and much respect for your POW with Damus, but Apple is a closed, walled garden. Always has been. Freedom loving people would be better building on free and open source platforms, imo. If we care more about "mass adoption" then we have to play by the establishment's rules. The establishment GAE/IMF/World Bank exists to exploit resource rich nations for the benefit of the G7. That's what Washington is all about and Apple bends the knee to Washington. Only Cantillionairs can even afford to buy Apple. It's a phone of privilege, made (well, designed) by the privileged, for the privileged. They don't give a damn about the Global South. Sure, Google doesn't either, but due to FOSS being a competitive edge for them historically, we have the lucky coincidence that we have a great foss mobile operating system in the Degoogled Android roms. Even stock Android beats Apple. (At least for censorship resistance and choice). It's painful but why continue to engage with Apple? You are trying to negotiate with the Death Star.
Temprement and circumstance. Temprement meets circumstance to determine the character of an individual. Some will always work hard driven by their nature or perhaps inner demons. But for others, that side of themselves won't get activated unless they are born into privation. Others still are born indolant whatever the environment.
Feeling great brother. Summer's right around the corner!! š
It's at best a dress rehearsal for the censorship to come. Better to move to degoogled Android now.
Yep. Get Graphene on Pixel and Amethyst and enjoy the freedom to zap
