Are you saying xpub can be linked to X :-)

Boomers as well as anyone you don't want to know who you are .. privacy in open ..

This is a wonderful idea - as a facebook or email replacement ..

Unlike Twitter , on Facebook we want only close family and friends to follow us .. we can share our xpub with them .. for the rest, our notes would be anonymous..

On email - a message may be open to everyone.. but the identity is associated only by those who got xpub ..

What happens if someone ( without my xpub) follows me ? ..

At first I thought you are somehow linking X id with #nostr npub .. xpub :-)

What does "no license" mean in this world :-)

People on such path don't care for the returns on investment .. nor do they look at other opportunities..

Such people are supported by divine .. their livelihood become God's responsibility..

#karmyoga begins when passion is aligned with the mission ..

Work then becomes the purpose ..

All they need to do is buy #bitcoin with the inflows keeping outflows in fiat ..

Get the narrative right - money will be fixed ..

Most people will discover #bitcoin through #nostr - not the other way around ..

Your immediate problem is NOT - broken money ...

It is broken narrative ..

If you wanna fix the future - #bitcoin

If you wanna fix the present - #nostr

Why #nostr ?

If you compare nostr with X or Instagram , the anology that comes to mind is a eating at a restaurant vs cooking your own food ..

At Insta , you give your groceries - they store your stuff with billions other in a cold store - cook something they find good for you - and serve you the way they think is best for you .. you eat it - mostly feeling bloated and dissatisfied.. and you can't even complaint :-)

At nostr - you decide how you store your data - beers in garage refrigerator ( your long posts) - wine in the basement ( reactions to your notes) .. may be leave some fruits on the kitchen shelf ( caching services)

You can choose the size and shape of your store - relays - to match the decor or your home - you can have them customized for you - even make your own ..

Then you decide the pans n pots that you want to cook in - #Amethyst for short notes - #Yakihonne for longer ones - #Damus if you are locked in the walled garden ( a ticket to your freedom :-) .. and #gossip if you are taking food to work ..

Finally - you present your culinary skills - the guests that come to weekend party - npub.pro

You own your data - you own your creative instincts and you own your presentation ..

And it is just getting started ..

In essence, nostr is a market place for data services .. you can choose from hundreds of relays ..and 100s of clients ..to suit your needs .. hardware etc .. even start your own ..

Once you curate an experience for you , you can provide it to others .. build your own tools around it .. its like a chess board .. simple in the beginning , becomes more and more complex as the game progresses :-)

At the outset .. default relays cover everything.. so you are covered ..

For fine tuning .. you may want certain relays to do certain things for you .

Relays are hosted by people with specific objectives in mind .. some want to develop new features (to support new NIPs) .. some want to make money .. in nutshell ..and a vague anology .. you are choosing different services from different providers ..

Also keep in mind ..blasting events to as many relays as possible is not a good startegy .. simply because you are replicating the data at many places .. speed and data .. plus if you want to delete things it gets harder ..

Getting to a fine balance is kinda hard .. but that discovery is where #nostr fun is .. once the model gets clear in mind .. we start seeing that social is just a starting usecase .. nostr is plumbing for a new internet ..

It might appear daunting in the beginning ..that's why clients provide you with default relays .. they will work fine .. I have never lost a note or a response ..

As you appreciate how you want to handle your nostr content ..you can remove the client defaults ..

Most people will not remove the defaults because they are used to Twitter or Facebook handling all their data .. that is the point of nostr .. to get people care and own their data ..

In Amethyst - go to settings > relays ..

There is nice documentation on each type of relay and options to choose more or remove

Every four years , #democracy mandates the leaders to articulate their character , convictions and foresight ... And it forces people to choose right from wrong .. real from fake ..

Its a massive exercise to discuss and determine - who we are !

It is a one way street ..once you bitten the apple , there is no way back to legacy social :-)

The choice between two major party nominees couldnt be more obvious ..

On one side you have proof of work ... one the other "proof of stake" :-)

It is literally #bitcoin vs shitty ones ..
