A message to all the new folks:

Welcome! We're all glad you are here and get to experience true freedom of speech.

I hope you are prepared for what that means.

We don't LARP about freedom of speech here. You can literally say anything you want and you will not be banned. You CANNOT be banned.

If I don't like what you have to say, I can mute you, and I can blacklist you from posting to any of my relays, but you will still be able to post to any other public relay on the network, or host your own relay for your content.

That means you equally cannot get anyone else banned from #Nostr either, no matter how horrific, offensive, hurtful, or antagonistic their posts may be. Nostr is not a safe space. If you are going to stick around, you are going to have to be able to deal with that fact. There have already been plenty of folks who have left because they could not handle the fact that there are no authorities here who can bring the ban-hammer down on internet jerks and creeps.

YOU are the only one who can control the content that you see. Don't want to see an npub's replies to your posts anymore? Mute them and be done with it. No one else can silence them for you.

When you are new, it can sometimes feel like you are shouting into the void and can't really gain any traction. This is because Nostr is still in the very infant stages of enabling various kinds of discoverability optimizing algorithms, and only certain clients currently have even these available.

Rather than just posting notes into the abyss, hoping someone will see them when you have no followers, try browsing hashtags that are related to your interests and engage with those who are already using those hashtags. This is a value-for-value community. Give others the engagement they are seeking and they are likely to reciprocate.

Finally, ignore your follower count. It is not exactly meaningless, but it is impossible to get an accurate number for how many people are following you, because of how following works here. Focus on providing value to the community in your own way and take responsibility for curating your own feed.

If you have any questions about how all this works, just #asknostr. We'll point you in the right direction.

Thank You.

Thank you. But I am on Android and I sue Amethyst and primal for the most part. Any option for that?

Can someone please help me with setting up a wallet for #nostr.

I want to do it in a way that doesn't require me to reveal a lot of personal information about myself.

Any input would be welcome.

Crazy World-

This is a crazy world we live in. In my village, most people don’t even know that $70 billion was created in just four hours, and yet we talk about quantitative easing like it’s an abstract concept. My village, my city, my country all of us just got devalued, not by natural forces, but by people creating "wealth" through their presence, reach, and connections.

If the Gutenberg Printing Press once spread the gospel of politics and religion, today it’s Twitter shaping narratives and power dynamics. Not through Instagram or Facebook, but by sharing on X.

This transformation affects every country and every common person. Wealth is siphoned from the poor and the real value creators, only to be rerouted to the rich, who have access to technology and capitalize on it.

Maybe we’re already living in Gotham City. But where is Batman now?

I feel sick to my stomach thinking about this about the FOMO (fear of missing out) and the millions of people like me experiencing the same. Is this wealth we see moving around truly the product of collective human effort? Or is it created by the wealthy, who are always chasing the next big investment?

Good Lord, where does this stop? This will be front-page news worldwide when he takes the oath of office. Just as we follow the S&P 500 as a benchmark for financial markets, humanity may soon be following a $100 billion meme coin as a symbol of speculative wealth.

"Oblivion is bliss," they say. But I say, "Oblivious is poor."

The divide between rich and poor has become the yardstick of life itself.

This reality should be taught in schools how power, technology, and wealth work in tandem to shape our world. Only then can we prepare the next generation to question, innovate, and fight for a fairer system.

That's very true!

Hey new Nostr users that have jumped on Nostr thanks to nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh, I'd like to take a moment and blow your mind and show you the power of Nostr. You're probably using Damus or Primal right now. I want you to go and download an app called nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg or nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 . You can get either of these on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. They're essentially Spotify but for Nostr. Once you have either one downloaded, you're going to want to "sign in" to this app with your private key or secret key from your Damus or your Primal. This is the long ugly looking string of characters that starts with NSEC. This is like your super secret password that you can never change, so you do want to keep it save and never share it. This key unlocks your identity. Now that you're signed into these apps, you can now comment on songs, boost them, share them, etc. and you'll see that activity in your Damus or Primal. Why? Because it's the same ecosystem and all of these apps work together. How fucking cool is that?

Thank you for this.

Thank you for the useful tips

Ok.

So here is the NOSTR version of my Tweet this morning about $TRUMP

So, why did $TRUMP choose to start a shitcoin and why on Solana?

Shall we follow the 'MoNeY' to find out if there are any conflicts of interest and misaligned incentives?

1. Who is David Sacks and why was he chosen to be the CrYptO Czar for Trump's administration?

He is a general partner of Craft Ventures, a venture capital fund he co-founded in late 2017.

Craft ventures focus on 'Leaders in B2B software'.

And also seem to have a keen interest on anything Musk is building.

Including:

Space X

X

XAi (grok)

and even The Boring Company, weird.

Ok, so is there any connection to Musk?

https://craftventures.com/portfolio

2.

Well, yes and more than both being South African-Americans.

Musk and Sacks are connected through Paypal.

Sacks was COO whilst Musk was CEO.

Nicely sitting atop the tree of the Paypal Mafia.

3. But what does this have to do with Solana, the appointment of Crypto Czar or the TRUMP shitcoin?

Well, we now have to assess whether or not there is a conflict of interest, signs of insider trading or nepotism.

So let's dig in.

Sacks also invested, via Craft Ventures into another fund called MultiCoin.

Here is his own article about why:

https://multicoin.capital/2018/03/12/why-we-invested-in-multicoin/

4. Who are Multicoin?

"As a crypto-native fund, we actively engage and participate in the networks we invest in. Moreover, we are intimately familiar with the crypto technology landscape and market structure. We are hands-on investors, and will do everything in our power to maximize the success of our portfolio companies."

https://multicoin.capital/about/

5.

So to recap, Sacks, through Craft Ventures now has a direct interest in the success of any companies that MultiCoin have invested in.

Who, to use their own words from their own website "will do everything in our power to maximize the success of our portfolio companies".

Ok, so who do MultiCoin invest in?

Well, literally 100's of Shitcoin projects, you have to scroll it to believe it.

https://multicoin.capital/portfolio/

6.

So how would Sacks be able to help steer these companies in the right direction and make sure there is enough hype around them to make sure his investments clear any 'lock-up' period so the funds can make an exit and make huge profits?

Well, from Sacks Wiki page:

he is a co-host of the All In podcast, alongside Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis and David Friedberg.

Yes, he has a CrYpTo Podcast.

But Suuuuurely he would never brag about investments or exits he has made on that podcast with his other slimeball co-hosts, would he?

@SilvermanJacob

has this clip of them doing exactly that below in 2021:

https://x.com/silvermanjacob/status/1595059806200643589?s=46&t=OhFuTtv-xPcwkmJSTd2Ovg

7.

So, yes, the clip shows them bragging about their Solana 'bags' and how they have pumped and beginning to dump them on retail.

"You better clear that Solana position, what's your lock up, 24 months?"

"Your holding right"

"Ish"

"ish, yeah me too".

Disgusting.

Watch again, then please share and bookmark Jacob's post.

8.

So back to MultiCoin, could they have invested in any 'projects' that were dependant on the Solana BlOcKcHaIn?

Loads:

01

Coral

Fractal

Hubble

Jito

MarginFi

Metaplex

Saber

Sec3

Serum

SOLANA

Solscan

Strata Protocol

Wormhole.

9. Wait, did they invest directly into SOLANA

Yes, yes they did.

"Today I’m excited to share Multicoin’s investment thesis in Solana, alongside the fact that we led an $20M investment in Solana. Here's Solana's press release."

Here is the press release.

https://multicoin.capital/2019/07/30/the-world-computer-should-be-logically-centralized/

10.

Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.

So Sacks is now directly tied to dozens of companies running on the Solana BlOcKcHaIn AND the network itself!?

And is advising the President on CrYptO as his Czar?

This can't get anymore conflicted.

Can it?

11.

We haven't fully considered nepotism yet.

So, Sacks is up to his knees in the Solana network, tokens AND dozens of 'UnIcOrnS' running shitcoin projects on it's BlOckChAin.

What was the weird part about Musk earlier and their connection via PayPal, it seems kind of weird to point that out.

12.

After leaving PayPal both went separate ways to start new ventures, famously Musk founded (joined) Tesla Motors and became (pushed aside existing) CEO.

There have been many ups and downs through the Tesla journey of Musk, but no story is weirder than the one involving the 2.6 BILLION acquisition of Solar City in 2016.

This acquisition left Tesla shareholders enraged as they saw it to be a "Bailout".

"Tesla shareholders alleged the company’s acquisition of the solar installer amounted to a bailout, pushed through by Musk who sat on both company boards at the time."

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/27/elon-musk-wins-shareholder-lawsuit-over-the-companys-2point6-billion-solarcity-acquisition.html

13.

So who were Solar City and why would shareholders believe this to be a 'Bailout' rather than a straight forward business acquisition?

Who were the founders and CEO of Solar City?

Lyndon and Peter Rive.

Big whoop, why does that matter?

"Lyndon Robert Rive (born 22 January 1977) is a South African-American businessman known as the co-founder of SolarCity, and its CEO until 2016."

"SolarCity is a provider of photovoltaic systems and related services. Rive co-founded SolarCity with his brother Peter in 2006."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_Rive

14.

Big whoop.

Who cares that two South African-American brothers founded a Solar company that was acquired by Musk?

- For 2.6 Billion dollars.

- Against the wishes of his shareholders.

Well, you see, Lyndon and Peter are Elon's cousins, sons of his mother's twin sister.

So, yes, maybe the shareholders were onto something when they alleged that it could be a bailout rather than a prudent business acquisition.

https://ghanafuo.com/elon-musk-cousins/

15.

Fear not, the shareholders were judged to be conthpirathy theorists and Musk won his case.

"Vice Chancellor Joseph R. Slights, who decided the case shortly before retiring, sided with Musk, writing: “Elon was more involved in the process than a conflicted fiduciary should be. And conflicts among other Tesla Board members were not completely neutralized. With that said, the Tesla Board meaningfully vetted the Acquisition, and Elon did not stand in its way.”

16.

So what the AF does this have to do with Sacks, Solana, Musk and Trump?

Well....

Step up

@realJakeSimmons with this report:

https://www.newsbtc.com/news/solana/elon-musk-cousin-first-investors-solana/#author-box

17.

WAIT WHAT?

Rive was bailed out (allegedly) then disappears to become an Angel Investor and is one of the first investors in Solana?

No way.

No fkn way.

18.

Damn, this is getting weird.

So let's recap.

- Sacks is Trump's Crypto Czar and is knee-deep across the whole Solana spectrum.

- Trump's DOGE - Department Of Governmental Efficiency - (An anagram clearly chosen to pump another Shitcoin) is chaired by Musk.

- Musk's cousin is one of the first seed Angel Investors in Solana.

19.

So, could it be at all claimed that maybe, just maybe there is a conflict of Interest, Insider Trading and Nepotism involved in launching $TRUMP ?

A Presidential Shitcoin on the SOLANA network!?

Would those involved be able to:

1. Protect pre-existing investments?

2. Pump pre-existing investments?

3. Dump pre-existing investments?

I am sure the Donald is very much the innocent party in this debacle and has been the victim of poor advice.

Perhaps he should consider clearing house of his CrYpTo AdViSorS on day -1 of his presidency?

Perhaps he shoud de-list $TRUMP effect immediately and make any tricked investors whole.

Perhaps we should be more vigilant (toxic) in the #bitcoin space and be ready to call out scams, even if they are at the highest level.

Or maaaaaybe this is all just me being a silly conthpirathy theorist.

Have a great Sunday, don't let all of this information worry you......

Nice investigation. Thank you. Not surprised at all.

I simply don't understand!

The people who are controlling our reality & want to control our minds, what pushes them to do it?. What causes them to behave this way?

What are their minds warped by? An obsession, the need for control, the sick sadistic idea of doing inhumane things to humans maybe?. For what exactly? Monetary gain? Wars? Some kind of sick pleasure. If yes, then why.

There has to be a factor there. Something! Something that keeps pushing them to go down this dark twisted path. Something that we are not seeing at the moment.

I would love to see how all these secret societies think & what happens inside their heads. I would love to spend time inside their minds just to find out why they think that it's okay to do the things that they do.

Just calling them crazy & dismissing them is not enough! Their level of darkness needs to be studied. How come humanity all over the world can see that this will end badly for us, but these people keep pushing humanity down this path with no oversight? What's the endgame here in THEIR opinion?

If anybody can see this post, feel free to share your thoughts. I'm just glad to be a part of the #nostr community & fleeing X was the right move to make here.
