Agree, lots of problems in having just one "Followers" list

oof. A decline in active pubkeys per day of 20% over the past 2 months.

Here's a hard pill to swallow...

#Nostr is not just a social media platform to replace [insert centralized SM here] because your bigotry and anti-woke ideas will be censored... your conservative bullshit thoughts are the last thing we need to concern ourselves with protecting.

Decentralized protocols are built so that people in oppressed governments can communicate freely, so your basic Google research of homosexual porn is not saved on some server that will later come back to haunt your homophobic public self.

Decentralized protocols, privacy, censorship-resistant tools are here to aid our data, our freedom of choice, to give a voice back to all of those who have been unjustly oppressed. If all you do is sit all day, shitposting stupid comments on how you are the better bitcoiner or nostrich because you run your own node, have never been KYCed, and throw hate at whatever tools and makeshift efforts others are using to try and build a future, you are not a better human, you are part of the problem, you are just loud, creating division and hate.

FOSS is for everyone, and it should be used in the ways people can with the tools they have. Nothing infuriates me more than people so blinded by their own privilege that they can't understand that those who need the tools the most can't use them as easily as they can because of LIFE AND REASONS!

i'm having 2nd thoughts about the new profile pic. it seems a bit too serious?

give me input. is it too serious? should i go back to pupper? (my 1st profile pic was a badass back tattoo pic but people thought i was a girl)

You think darkness is your ally?

You merely adopted the dark.

I was born in it, molded by it. #Bitcoin #ZBD #Nostr #zapathon

for anyone who doesn’t know rusty put together the lightning spec and built core-lightning, the best lightning node software. He is a linux kernel dev (made iptables, etc). He’s one of the best engineers bitcoin has.

how can i scrape the web for books?

The indictment is charging Roger with under reported his bitcoin holdings as a way to tax unrealized gains.

He reported what he sold for profit, but not the bitcoin he personally owned (and never sold).

The indictment also states that they’re trying him 10 years after the fact of his US citizenship renouncement, but fails to mention that during his process of renouncement was paying both Japanese and US taxes.

Point being, what the USG is doing is regulation by criminal enforcement. So whatever precedent is set from these court trials is what will be used against bitcoin holders.

Everyone from Ross Ulbrict, Ian Freeman, Jeremy Kaufman, Julian Assange, Kimdotcom, John McAfee, CZ, Roman Storm, Samourai and more is laying the legal framework to use against normal people.

The idea isn’t so much that they want to scare bitcoiners out of their bitcoin. Far from it. They WANT YOU to own bitcoin because they WANT to tax you when you use it. If they can scare bitcoiners INTO KYC/AMLcompliance and to making them too scared to USE their bitcoin and keep it in HODL mode on, the USG and TPTB will see that as a win.

Its rather nice looking.
