GM ☀️

Why do we say GM?

Nostr represents a radical leap toward a freer, more dynamic internet. With Nostr we get absolute free speech, open competition, and genuine user autonomy.

On Nostr, we control our identities through cryptographic keys, so we can join any community we want without losing our followers, content, or voice.

And because the network relies on many independent “relays” rather than a single central server, there’s no single gatekeeper to censor or deplatform you.

By integrating Bitcoin’s Lightning Network for micropayments, Nostr opens new possibilities for creators and entrepreneurs. Imagine zapping someone a few cents for a clever post or paying directly for valuable insights—no middleman, no hidden fees. It transforms social media into a global marketplace of ideas and services, free from the advertising-driven business models that dominate Big Tech.

Nostr offers a blueprint for disrupting entrenched monopolies in the same way open-source software upended proprietary giants. Instead of complaining about Silicon Valley’s control, we can build a world where users own their data, creators earn directly from their audience, and innovation happens in the open. It’s a rare glimpse of real progress—one that puts individual freedom and entrepreneurial spirit front and center.

We’re witnessing the reemergence of a truly open internet. If you believe that tech should empower people rather than exploit them, Nostr is where you want to be spending your time. Nostr is the most promising and disruptive idea since Bitcoin.

And on Nostr we say GM.

The endless graft, prostitution, and sycophantry found in contemporary social media is so endlessly dark and nihilistic that you would really think it’s just a dark forest out there. A pointless dark world where lies, theft, and guile are the only form of real power. That there is no purpose, reason, or greater meaning to life itself—just a black nothingness.

Truth is there is something much greater to this existence, and that is much more scary than nothing at all. It means we actually have a purpose and reason for existence, and that these projections of darkness are really just a means of manipulating all of us. The media apparatus projects the shadows on the walls and gives microphones to the most callow and anxious to make these shadows real. While they are little more than shadows on the walls, most people will believe it because they too are in bondage, chained before the wall, incapable of turning back to see how the sunlight is manipulated for such dark purposes.

Most people are good and are deeply craving a world of honor, dignity, and reason; they are just incarcerated into a fiat bondage, and conditioned through fear and terror. We have all just been captured by a fiat world view for so long that to reason outside and beyond it without a means to fight it (i.e. bitcoin) is utterly impossible. That is why the understanding of what bitcoin offers in contrast to fiat is so important, as it becomes a way to see through the dark forest and understanding that it is not dark at all, but merely a projection of power, a means of control through presenting only one view. To turn and see how the light is projected to make this dark forest, the shadows on the wall creates a new and different means of power. A power of reason and meaning, where the possible of breaking the chains of bondage is a real possibility, but only with this knowledge.

nostr:npub1n3sjlzmhpu8rl56umtptc4lua6zkretq2p82yhytnmlcuq639vlqd0te5l I’ve heard you on some podcasts discussing Bitcoin mining and renewable energy.

I am a project development engineer in California. I think there is some potential to pair mining with solar installations given the NEM 3 rules reduce what customers get for extra production. I was wondering if you could connect me with any mining companies/people who have experience installing miners along with PV.

My thoughts are adding mining could reduce paybacks for customers, but it might be a tough sell and I’m not sure what kind of utility interconnection requirements there may be.

Thanks in advance if you see this and know anyone I could reach out to.

Worth a listen

Have you looked into RFK’s policy? He’s been pro bitcoin from the jump https://youtu.be/1B03N1ZtUxs?si=5o91Er7aJvcJKvTg

Just got the primal app. So far this feels like the most intuitive and easiest way to experience nostr and add a lightning wallet for me nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr #zaps
