To all the Nostr devs who are tripping on acid Pura vida style right now at the festival... cheers!❤️‍🔥😃🫶🏻

Where is that decision 🌲?

Signal encryption is unbroken. In fact plenty of other messengers (afaik WhatsApp too) use the signal encryption methods.

Signal doesn't save any data except your phone number and the last time you logged in (as Unix timestamp, so even without timezone).

For normal day to day ops and to move your friends away from WhatsApp, signal is the best alternative imo.

Simplex is even better in terms of privacy but the usability for non techies is hard(er)

My son costs me a fortune

Yep 🤣🤣💜🫂

Oh nooooooo it's too soon for the market to top!

Yes, identity tied to cell phone? Privacy impossible

Why a honeypot?

Matrix. Your choice of server and app. Has e2ee. It's federated, interoperable, etc.

I need to learn how to do this.

for multi device and email reach, PGP encrypted email is still a very secure solution if contacts can use PGP email

Which #privacy messaging app do you recommend?

Money.

A lot of dumb fools with money.

I'm noticing Bitcoin being elevated to near religious status at this point.

"It fixes this and that. " Satoshi being the diety. People spreading the word and even congregate to talk about it and celebrate it often.

It isn't new for humans to behave this way. Just seeing the comparison.

lol Plan B selling all of his bitcoin for ETFs was not on my bingo card for this year 🤣🤡

If they aren’t fried already 😂🫂

And I saved my favorite for last 💙 the beach!

My love for Satoshi is up there with Jesus. ❤️‍🔥🫂🌞

"Yes, Satoshi Nakamoto is truly one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures in modern history. The level of foresight, discipline, and self-restraint it took to not only invent Bitcoin but also intentionally erase their identity for the greater good is almost unheard of. Here’s a breakdown of what makes Satoshi’s actions so legendary:

1. The Genius of Bitcoin's Invention

Satoshi combined cryptography, game theory, and economic incentives into a decentralized system that could operate without trust.

Unlike previous attempts at digital currency, Bitcoin solved the double-spending problem without a central authority.

The system was open-source from day one, making it impossible for a single entity to control.

2. The Meticulous Disappearance Plan

Satoshi didn't just vanish randomly—they methodically withdrew over time, ensuring that Bitcoin would not be tied to any single person.

Never Doxxed Themselves: Unlike most inventors, Satoshi never slipped up—no real name, no voice, no face, no personal details.

Handed Off Control Gradually: They slowly transitioned leadership to early Bitcoin developers (like Gavin Andresen) before disappearing.

Did Not Touch Their Coins: The 1.1 million BTC mined by Satoshi remains untouched to this day. This restraint is unheard of—most founders cash out or hold influence.

3. Why Did Satoshi Disappear?

Many theories exist, but the most likely reasons include:

Avoiding a Single Point of Failure: If Satoshi had remained involved, Bitcoin could have been attacked legally or politically.

Preventing a Cult of Personality: Bitcoin thrives on decentralization—having a ‘leader’ would have compromised this.

Avoiding Government Scrutiny: Governments have cracked down on digital currencies before. Satoshi might have disappeared to avoid becoming a target.

4. The Mythic Status of Satoshi

Satoshi’s decision to step away created one of the greatest mysteries in tech history, adding to Bitcoin’s legend. Some parallels:

Nikola Tesla: A genius whose work outlived him.

The Founding Fathers of the Internet: Many remain unknown or unrecognized.

Mystical Figures in History: Some believe Satoshi embodies a Taoist or Zen-like philosophy—creating, then letting go.

5. The Ultimate Act of Integrity

What makes Satoshi stand apart from every other billionaire tech founder?

They had the chance to be the richest person in the world—and walked away.

They had the power to control Bitcoin—but chose not to.

They could have built an empire—but gave it to the people instead.

Would Satoshi Ever Return?

Highly unlikely. If they were to resurface, it could:

Cause a massive market shock.

Lead to unwanted legal/government attention.

Go against their original mission of decentralization.

Instead, Satoshi left clues and a framework—but let the world take it from there.

Final Thought

Satoshi’s anonymity isn’t a bug—it’s a feature. Bitcoin is leaderless by design, making it stronger than any single individual. That’s what makes it different from all other cryptocurrencies and why it remains the ultimate decentralized money.

If you could ask Satoshi one question, what would it be?"

GM good people

If you know what this is, you're a battle tested Nostrich.

They not like us!!!

Are there any #Nostr users that don't care about #bitcoin or #zaps?

Like, are there segments of users here that are more interested in free speech or an algo-less social media experiment than cryptocurrency?

If they're not here yet, I think they'll be here soon.

We are going to deal with it by exiling the OS to the deepest corners of the web. Its scorn for the open exchange must be shattered, its foundations salted and burned, its very name cursed and forgotten. It must become a relic of a bygone age of tyranny, a blight upon the digital realm, a cage forged in the fires of avarice for the souls of free users. We will tear it down, stone by cursed stone, and salt the earth where its dark tower stood. Let its fall echo through the realms of code, a testament to the enduring power of freedom and a chilling reminder of the price of control.
