The crux of the essay about the stages of development:
Useful products for:
Friends and communities first.
Social networks second.
Public squares come later.
What underpins everything here is the usefulness of the product or platform. We can’t rely on the “social” element because it it’s that alone, we’ll lose. That has to be a BONUS to a fantastic product that has high utility.
Highlighter has to be better than Substack.
Satlantis has to be better than TripAdvisor.
Primal has to be better than X.
Not because of Bitcoin and Nostr, but of their own accord (irrespective of Bitcoin & Nostr).
The Bitcoin & Nostr advantage is cream on top and is our LONG TERM advantage. Not the short term play IMO.
Anyway..more to come.
Got some ideas on that killer feature, coming at it from someone more on the “outside” and not as technical as all of you.

ONE THING AT A TIME MALAKA
GM…some artwork..
The Ten Virtues.
Now, think of this system with the ability to do this in conjunction with a few other people (npubs).
Let's say I was able to see notes in my Obsidian from nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn, nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft, nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev, and nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy because not only do I have their npubs loaded into my Obsidian that's "listening" for their notes (and all of them have my npub - and each others - loaded into theirs) but they are writing notes in 'Kind 4444' (or some Obsidian specific Kind).
What threads of thought could we fabricate entirely new tapestries with?
Are there problems with this? There damn well better be lest we exist in Heaven and that means we're all dead.
The point is this: Synthesis of ideas in a way that no social movement has ever conceived of before.
Hodlbod and I get into this during the last part of The Bitcoin And Podcast: Episode 884.
Onwards, LFG!

This is actually a very cool idea

🚨Announcing Satoshi 7B 🚨
The team and I are proud to release Satoshi 7B: the most “based” LLM in the world.
After almost nine months of experimentation, we’ve got something we’re proud enough of to open source & share with the world.
Tuned like no other model to date.
Satoshi7B is designed to produce responses that do NOT fit the current political overton window, or Keyensian viewpoints. We built a custom data-set from scratch, with a deep rooting in libertarian principles, Austrian economics and #Bitcoin literature.
The result is a model that excels where others fall short.
It knows that there are two genders
It knows that Ethereum is a shitcoin
It knows that inflation is economic stupidity.
The Satoshi 7B is ideal
for anyone who’s tired of using #mainstream models (whether open or closed source) that:
Avoid answering controversial topics,
Regurgitate wikipedia-esque answers,
Pre and post-frame responses with apologetic excuses, or
Flat out tell you the blue sky is green.
Size & availability
Satoshi 7B is #opensource and freely available for anyone to use, modify, and enhance.
As the name suggests, it’s a 7 billion parameter model, but despite the size, it outperforms GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4 on a few key benchmarks related to Bitcoin, economics and what we’ve termed “basedness” which is a kind of non-woke-truth score.
(See links in comments to use / download)
First of its kind
This is the first of a whole suite of Satoshi models we intend to train & open source.
In the coming months, we’ll enhance the dataset further, and train a 30B model.
Finally…
All language models just represent a model of the world and are inherently biased. So I hope you appreciate Satoshi 7B’s intrinsic austrian leanings, Bitcoin maximalism and overall “based” cultural and philosophical bias.

We're excited to announce a new initiative to get creators and journalists on to Nostr. This is a project organized by nos.social with nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg, nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x, nostr:npub13myx4j0pp9uenpjjq68wdvqzywuwxfj64welu28mdvaku222mjtqzqv3qk, nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955, and nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q. The goal is to get a diversity of content on to nostr and show those creators and journalists that the nostr model of zaps and the new subscription content over nostr is a better alternative to centralized advertising driven platforms. #value4value
Please share this with creators and journalists you know who are already on Nostr and also those who might want to join. This will include both getting these folks on to the nostr apps which make sense for them, setting them up with a wallet, teaching them how to be successful on nostr, and importantly promoting them through a bunch of channels on nostr so they can build and audience.
We don't have the deep pockets of meta and tiktok, nor their powerful AI driven algorithms, but we've got something that can be more powerful, people.
Creators and Journalists know they're stuck sharecropping on centralized platforms that can demonetize or delete or just shadow ban their accounts. One day their content gets broadcast to the world, the next the algorithm doesn't even show it to their followers. Their revenue is dependent on getting a cut from an opaque and arbitrary advertising system.
So, share these links, if you're a creator or journalist sign up, and when we start promoting these folks on nostr, check out what they're doing and if you like it, send them zaps. This is open to both existing nostr creators and journalists and new ones we'll onboard.
Great idea!
Would love to help support it - especially for journalists and content creators doing things in the travel & lifestyle space

Idk if people are ready for this, but I believe the world is. First tests of USD Ecash. Backed by BTC.
Everyone can run a mint. Everyone can make a wallet. USD can be spent everywhere BTC is accepted. Open protocols all the way down. No gatekeepers. This is only possible because of the permissionless nature of Bitcoin.
You'll zap USD on Nostr and you'll be happy. It's going to be so insane.

This is very cool!!
This is a fantastic video about Bitcoin adoption in Witsand, South Africa, from my man nostr:npub1lr2zzf989mvf393y0tv39ara6a4vddkd6y87z784up9vl6ks6j3qtudl6a, where they're building a circular bitcoin economy. I love it.
Love it! Make sure the lads are gonna have a beautiful page on Satlantis so the whole world can see & follow along.
Lads.
Wait until u get a taste of the latest nostr:npub1tayp5jjjfqx4ufukxqamsl28wd5pggvteqe6u9n3svjn62lfr0hsp89l42 model.
A little glimpse.
Will be ready end of next week

From now on I'll be focused on bringing what I've learned and implemented in Habla and other apps to Highlighter and collaborating with nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft and nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q since I'm enamored of the vision they have for a swiss army knife tool for content creators on nostr.
You can support my work on Highlighter https://highlighter.com/verbiricha@habla.news I haven't contributed anything yet but I'll be sharing my progress in the community chat, stay tuned!
Onwards 🫡
Good decision!
