NOT A FOUNDER OR A CEO OF ANYTHING ONLY BITCOIN 🧡⚡️

Exactly, a lot of this has deep roots and isn’t new at all. If it had been shut down earlier, things would look very different today.

Exactly! Bitcoin is like a fresh force challenging the old rules of the financial system.

Absolutely. Even if we can’t finish the work, the responsibility to try and do it still falls on us.

Absolutely, any violence against free speech ultimately threatens all of us and we must not remain indifferent.

Yeah, back in 2010, practically no one knew about Bitcoin! Its price was almost zero, and only a small group of enthusiasts had heard of it.

He truly embodied courage and the spirit of free speech.

It’s devastating… taken away just for speaking his mind.

Hey everyone, I just want to take a moment to be completely real with you guys. I know I shitpost a lot with my memes and other posts, sometimes passionately and sometimes stupidly, but my head and heart are in a completely different place this morning. The horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday was, perhaps ironically, and perhaps poetically, a turning point for America. I pray it is a turn for the better, and I simultaneously fear it will be a turn for the worse.

The ideals of freedom and free speech are ones that I am confident most of us here hold dearly. They are deeply engrained in the very DNA of nostr, and it’s one of the main reasons I believe we are all here. We value having a place where any voice and any viewpoint can be expressed, discussed, and debated, without resorting to physical violence against one another. That is how it should be in a society of free people. It is how good/beneficial ideas rise to the forefront, and it is how bad/harmful ideas are exposed for what they truly are. Whether you agreed or disagreed with Charlie Kirk’s beliefs/views, it was clear that he valued and advocated for free speech and peaceful debate.

Yesterday’s shooting was a direct attack on those ideals. I am saddened and disgusted that it happened, but I am even more saddened and disgusted by the fact that many people are celebrating, excusing, and justifying what took place. It was evil. Period.

Maybe you agree with me, and maybe you disagree with me. Maybe you just don’t care about any of it. You do you, but for me it is a turning point. Something changed yesterday, and even though I don’t fully grasp it yet, things will not be the same after this.

I am traveling through the weekend for an event, and have decided to go ahead take that entire time off nostr to reflect on some things, including to assess what this account will look like moving forward. The memes will still flow, but it may be time for course shift. Stay tuned. See you next week.

Completely understand and respect your perspective. Taking time to reflect is important, especially after such a tragic event. Stay safe, and see you next week. 🙏🧡🫵🏽

You can see the balance of a Bitcoin address on the public blockchain, but you can’t know who owns it unless they tell you.

Haha, even Uncle Sam can’t resist the call of Bitcoin 😂. Sats for everyone!

Exactly👌🏾ignoring a child’s health is still neglect, even if it’s not legally abuse.

Feels like the designer played Tetris with buttons and forgot the rules.

I see your points, but I think it’s not entirely impossible. Advances in post-quantum cryptography, like lattice-based or hash-based schemes, could be integrated carefully to maintain UX and scaling. Yes, it’s challenging, but with a proper soft-fork strategy and community coordination, we could upgrade Bitcoin without fundamentally breaking its core principles. It would still be Bitcoin, just future-proofed.
