Ran into nostr:npub1f07fly9xl3mzr2spk50hz93lm8a5hgt06l6y7kva2ja5we3wq26qp6dh6h at a recent conference - Great guy, a boomer with some super cool ideas! Also, always fun to meet someone who recognizes my art - hearing “I’ve seen that before!”from others in the space is big 🫶🏿💜🧡
Also Boadee told me to shout you out nostr:npub103m96sra82w4agghew9cdxtzs4s8sl7qsjsvw6h653yml0gjrkzqefd3h5 - I’ve been seeing your Bitcoin Journey stuff on Nostr. For me one of the most fascinating topics to contemplate is why, we who are bitcoiners today, are bitcoiners and how we got here. I while back I was more active in my own examination of this, called it “Journey Into Bitcoin”
Yall might find it interesting - note all the images got roasted in some image hosting meltdown that happened some time back - I’ll have to figure out reporting with restored imagines but I think still an interesting story…
CONFIRMED: GOES HARD

Looks like they’re running some AI agent to try and match foreign students to social media accounts. If the US State department doesn’t like the politics of the posts the visa is being revoked. The thing is everyone in the US is protected by the constitution, not just citizens. So this is overturning fundamental rights to free speech and due process.
There is no way for these students to contest this. Many people don’t put their full name on social media, often people have the same name. So not only will this violate students first and fifth amendment protections, it will likely be applied to students who simply share the same name or are confused with other students who expressed a political view the government doesn’t like.
If this program continues it means that no foreign student in the US is safe from arbitrary deportation. All it takes is someone making a bot pretending to be that student making posts the administration doesn’t like. Since there is no process by which the student can even demonstrate the account is fake!

Certainly would not put it past them but I’m also HIGHLY skeptical of Time of India - up there with Epoch Times, NTD, etc. has anyone seen this covered anywhere else in the US news cycle?
Note to #gardenstr - Strawberries are sneaky buggers. They don’t die over the winter, they will break out of their placement and take up any space where something else is not planted and well established. If you put them in planter boxes they WILL escape to your yard.
That is all. 🫡

We are hosting a new show curated by nostr:nprofile1qqsttwkhga9z0wj2cfnunw2a49qw3uz6qwdvxcf4558z4t6zkg5r3lcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0xga202 and nostr:nprofile1qqsp887vdwesfv58n96vt8x6v8vx67qk449vpuuwu7njfh6gspswvhgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2asppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5lsl0k7 next week. Nothing else is lined up. However, we are always receiving and finding ways to hang new art from #bitcoin artists who want to display, so drop us a message if you want to send something over 👊🧡

Ok cool - please let me know - or I’ll reach out when I have so new works but if I know a showing is coming up, I might have time to put something together specifically for that event 😁
nostr:npub1hvqhft3p5m9vrg9fez62cm4lmftvu5tqtsc4kxpyju9uya0hywdq3ny4jq When is the next showing? I love to participate as an artist again.
Hey guys - I’m in the process of on boarding my online mandarin language tutor (he’s in Taiwan) to paying him directly in bitcoin. He’s excited but still concerned about “how to get Bitcoin back into ‘real money’” (Understand it’s literally day one for him, today). Can anyone advise the most reputable on/off ramps in TW and if there are any bitcoin resources in Taichung, TW.

Is there a theme for the quarter or just submit what you like?
Bitcoin Mag falloff needs to be studied. Was way better when they’d publish the stream of consciousness from the Pleb-sphere. Lots of mid hot takes and outright insanity, sure but also lots of signal if you checked in regularly. Now, all meh, meh everywhere, tres corporate. What happened?

I checked in on X after a 2 weeks delete to see if it’s gotten any better. Has only gotten worse. Like Trash that got promoted to Garbage…
What is this and why test it? How is different / better from other wallet? #AskNostr
Feels the same at 21 sats or 8 sats or even 1 sats

Perhaps a Bitcoin Maze / Labyrinth Rug Collab in the future??? 🤔🤔🤔

Hey Miles - congrats on this development! Ethical small dollar & micro loans are entirely neglected in the US and Cash App Borrow has the potential to help a lot of folks, particularly among Cash Apps user demographics.
BTW, I’m still interested in Block (we had connected once or twice several years back when I was earlier on my Bitcoin journey and still actively used Twitter). I’ve been at a FAANG for the past 5+ years (12 years of career experience in total) working on enterprise platform launches, digital / alternative payments, and educating anyone who will listen about Bitcoin.
I’m going to apply for the Cash App Bitcoin Platform Product Lead role later today so reaching out as a heads up. Some of my previous applications have been auto-rejected, but if Block/Cash App can take a dedicated second look for my candidacy this role, that would be greatly appreciated.
