I am in Uvita. I thought there was a whole NOSTRica scene down here… nostr:note1uymfrmhna2hv0r6ued393se05jhz5cg7qsrvxmn6d9shhtsmhgfqak5qqw

Who is in Uvita ?

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m this guy seems to have spent A LOT of his life on the thesis that you are Satoshi, going deep on your life and family

Any response?

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m thoughts on Sean Murray claiming that you are Satoshi, based in part on this analysis?

. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m I get why you tout NOSTR but curious why you also recently described X as “freedom technology” rather than say, BlueSky

(given X’s centralized control and that platform’s history of censorship controversies)

Will Damus for iOS ever get zaps back?

What is the status of that?

These questions are creepy as hell.

He is just a guy. He was lucky enough to start the right company at the right time in the right place in the right generation. Yet you talk to him like he is Jesus. Your generation’s value system needs serious adjustments.

(No offense, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m. nothing personal)

These are standard questions to ask a prominent business leader who is also politically outspoken

1. Not sure what is needed.

2. Will talk with them this week.

3. No.

4. No.

5. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks

Is his CBDC opposition a factor in your support?

Do you have thoughts on the plans for a Digital Dollar?

1. No. It feels like the time of the American empire building driven by the military industrial complex is coming to a close. And that’s a great thing for America in my view.

2. None of it has to do with Bitcoin. He has a platform full of positions I think would be great for the country, most importantly a platform of peace and a break down of the military industrial complex.

3. Yes. And you’re right. They are often wrong.

Thanks for these

—What’re your plans for supporting RFK?

—Are you in touch with the campaign?

—You’re not the only prominent tech exec to praise RFK. Are you in touch with others in the industry about this?

—You often come across as a lone wolf type. Do you have a team or advisors or anything when it comes to your civic/political engagement?

—Where do you mostly spend your time these days? (I saw you were in Iceland for a bit)

#[1] would be cool to do an open interview on current events

—is your “end of an empire” note inspired by Balaji’s TFTC podcast appearance or…?

—what’s behind your RFK support? How much of it is his recent embrace of Bitcoin?

—Any plans to support RFK candidacy? Conventional wisdom in DC (which is often wrong) is that RFK is completely non-viable

Pretty wild that three presidential candidates* have come out in support of bitcoin in less than a week

*yeah, I know. They’re politicians

DeSantis, RFK and … ?

My latest (with a NOSTR mention):

The revolution will not be copyrighted.

Hi #[0], now that I’ve installed the Damus desktop app, I’m hoping we can conduct another open NOSTR interview.

1. Between NOSTR, Bitcoin, Signal, Bluesky, open source LLMs, etc. … is open source code becoming a more important part of the internet? … or is there no real trend here?

2. Are there other open-source projects you keep a close eye on?

3. You’ve said you regret that Twitter became a company instead of an open protocol. But was an open protocol a viable path 17 years ago?

Have there been changes since then that make open-source a more viable model for more things?

(I ask because I see so much activity on Discord and GitHub to support these open-source projects, and imagine the sheer volume and quality of coordinated human activity going into open-source development must be much greater today than even a few years ago)

4. Are there political and policy implications if we’re entering a world in which more software is open-source? How do you think about that?

5. Where in the physical world do you spend most of your time these days?

6. How do you think about the relationship between NOSTR and BlueSky? Are they competitors? complementary?

Thanks for giving these a look

—Ben
