And it just stands there and receives and stores all your data right? That's cool.
Cool, thank you very much! Unfortunately I don't use Android. It would be awesome there was something for the Web or macOS somehow.
Hi everyone, quick question, what is the easiest way to have a local backup of all my Nostr posts?

We went from gold, to characters like these deciding what money is.
Actually, thinking more about this, this perfectly connects to Ayn Rand's idea that money is the root of all good.
I wouldn't define it as the root of all good per se in my humble opinion, but a reflection of our measure of good. A mathematical translation of good. If work is sacrifice, and sacrifice is the root of all love (Eric Fromm), and love is good, then money is a great reflection of something that's good in its very essence.
Bitcoin being the best money ever invented/discovered is thus a great reflection of good in itself. Or a great way to quantitively measure good.
This is super obvious and trivial if one thinks about but I find this mindblowing nonetheless. Ayn Rand was incredible. Francisco d'Anconia discourse on money is beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-T0ey0IKDA
She very insightfully pin pointed this idea of "making money" to the US. It seems like a trivial insight but in my view it's perhaps the most important philosophical insight of the world that's coming next.
We really might be moving into a golden age, by all different measures.
Thank you and likewise!
Wishing a great 2025 year to everyone. Really looking forward to make this a great year!
Bitcoin is the free people's money.
It will thus be the only way to measure work. Because you have to be free to truly accurately measure work. In other words, work can only be defined by another free human being.
In other words, we live for each other.

There are a million different proprietary car versions because manufacturers aim to make money through repairs (and other aspects of closed economics).
Bitcoin solves this by funneling capital into a much better system that disincentivizes these kinds of behaviors by offering a superior, more long-term focused alternative to saving (and thus making money).

Sorry to hear that. Much strength to you from Portugal.
Argentina will become a great refuge for freedom people from all over the world.

I'm pretty sure the answer is in integrating more nature in our lives.
Raw, pure nature + raw, pure human intelligence = more life than we can ever imagine.
Listening to this now, never heard it.
I know very few Italian composers. I'm currently looking for more "impressionistic" music, like Ravel and Debussy. Just can't get enough of this kind of stuff! :D
thanks for the comment :)
I hear Ottorino Respighi and I hear Debussy, Ravel but also Final Fantasy, Square, great and old school Japanese video game composers like Nobuo Uematsu and the like.
The Japanese always had incredible great taste and artistry.

Beautiful album.
Ottorino is from the late 1800s, from north Italy, Bologna. Italy is an incredible country, root of a lot of beauty, perhaps the root of the whole thing (of the West). Especially this part.
Anyways, it's incredible to listen to this, and imagine how life was for these people. I think the Gold standard clearly was superior in art, than what we have today.

The Libertarian Lens on Rome's Economic Crisis of A.D. 33
(Dedicated to the roman Mario Draghi, Tiberius)
In the shadow of the Palatine, under the distant rule of Tiberius, Rome faced an economic tempest in A.D. 33 that would challenge not just its financial stability but the very principles of governance and liberty that underpin economic freedom. From a libertarian perspective, this crisis serves as a profound case study in the perils of state intervention and the unintended consequences of economic policy.
The Catalyst of Crisis:
The economic downturn was set into motion by a law mandating senators to invest heavily in Italian land, an act of economic nationalism that clashed with the libertarian ideal of free market dynamics. This policy, aimed at securing Rome's economic sovereignty, instead led to a devastating liquidity crisis. Land values plummeted as senators scrambled to comply, demonstrating a clear violation of the free market's invisible hand—a hand that libertarians argue should guide economic activity, not the heavy fist of state regulation.
A Libertarian Critique
From a libertarian viewpoint, the crisis of A.D. 33 is a stark reminder of the dangers of government overreach. The forced investment in land was not merely an economic misstep but an infringement on individual liberty and market freedom. This echoes the belief that individuals, not the state, should determine their economic activities based on voluntary exchange and personal risk assessment.
Tiberius' Intervention: A Double-Edged Sword
Tiberius' response, while stabilizing in the short term, offers a complex lesson. He injected vast sums into the economy through interest-free loans, a move that could be seen as an early precursor to modern-day state interventions like quantitative easing. While it undoubtedly alleviated the immediate crisis, libertarians would argue this was a band-aid solution that masked deeper issues of market distortion caused by initial government interference.
The Human and Economic Cost
This crisis laid bare the human cost of economic policy, where farmers, merchants, and senators alike were caught in the web of state-induced economic volatility. Libertarianism, with its emphasis on individual liberty, would decry the suffering caused by such policies, advocating instead for a system where economic decisions are made freely, reflecting the true will and ingenuity of the people, not the whims of rulers.
Philosophical Reflections
The crisis of A.D. 33 invites us to reflect on the balance between government and market. It's a potent narrative on how the state, in its efforts to control the economy, can inadvertently lead to its own undoing. This event serves as a historical testament to the libertarian creed that economic freedom is not just beneficial but essential for prosperity and individual well-being.
The economic crisis under Tiberius in A.D. 33 is more than a historical anecdote; it's a cautionary tale about the perils of government economic meddling. It underscores the argument for minimal state intervention, the sanctity of property rights, and the power of free markets to self-correct. From this ancient crisis, we can draw a modern lesson: that economic liberty is the bedrock of a just and prosperous society andfree markets are the absorber of economic shocks.

I truly hope history is very unkind with people like these.
If small, local Bitcoin circular economies start happening, local business owners will have more business for the many reasons we know, because in essence is better at everything and attracts smart money/people, creating a self-sufficient positive cycle that will lead people to become more orange pilled and a freer local economy.
This basically means, local Bitcoin circular economies can make ANY country on earth an attractive place to live, at different levels.
