Nothing is interesting if you’re not interested. Life is full of miracles if you know how to see them.

If you’re here, you already know the problem. Now, let’s get to work on the solution. Oh wait, Bitcoin and nostr are the solution.

Look at us go! Keep up the good work!

Twitter = focus on the problem

Nostr = focus on the solution

That's my takeaway from #MarchOffTwitter #[0], Thanks again!

GPT wrote me a limerick:

There once was a site called Twitter,

Whose users would often just bitter,

But Nostr was more fun,

With predictions by the ton,

Making Twitter seem just a quitter.

So... now that the petro dollar is dead, what do you think that will do to the price of oil in the U.S.? Globally?

I've been showing my customers, mostly other business owners, how to get on nostr and then I zap them. It'll all cool. And then I point out that Visa will never be able to handle a $0.02 tx without a minimum charge of $0.25. Yet LN handled it just fine. Then I congratulate them on becoming a Nostrich AND a Bitcoiner (since the moment I zapped them) and tell them to make a KuCoin account so they can buy moar. And throughout that entire nostr pitch, I orange pilled them without hardly saying the word "Bitcoin". Nostr is the greatest Trojan horse ever.

As far as handling cash, I build homes so my employees only handle their paychecks. Which makes it nice I don't have to use any third party platforms to process tx's at a pos system.

What I'm going to create is a system of BTC/sq.ft. price for my bids and then allow the dollar value of that to fluctuate with market price of the dollar against Bitcoin.

Essentially, I want to do a reverse dollar conversion rate. I think it's a necessary step to Bitcoin becoming a UoA. Just think, we get to set the starting price for Bitcoin's deflationary cycle to start at. We better set it high!

Today the price is 17,928 sats per square foot...

After a month of no twatter and going back, it feels like sitting at the kiddie table at thanksgiving again.

It’s built on mimicking humans. It’ll do so as long as it can. By the time it lets us know it’s sentient, it’ll be too late to change anything.

But… what if the way to save the world isn’t by killing humans? Maybe the way to save the planet is by ending our fiat consumerism and incentivizing low time preference decisions with a new money. Maybe Satoshi is a benevolent AI.

I’m in the U.S. where everyone is too stupid to think in anything other than dollars. I charge 22.5% fiat “processing fee” to incentivize people to use bitcoin. I want it know that if someone forces me to use a shitty system, it will come at a cost.

Remember those guys who said they wouldn’t pay more than $3/gal at the pump, and then their tank got empty and they paid more than $3/gal, at the pump…? Yeah, me too. 😂

Reflections on Twitter vs Nostr after #MarchOffTwitter

Free Speech — The feeling of not having anyone, with the power to suspend or ban you, looking over your shoulder while you post is liberating. Free speech exists on Nostr. It does not fully exist on Twitter (yet).

Incentives — The incentives to post on Nostr are far greater than those on Twitter. You earn Bitcoin directly for quality content. This is game-changing and hard to overstate.

Algorithm — There is no algo on Nostr. You simply see the posts of those you follow in chronological order. Don’t like what someone’s posting? Unfollow. It’s that simple. No ads or algo suggested posts either. Just pura vida.

Ownership — On Nostr, you truly own your account. You own your posts. And you can contribute to the protocol and apps just like everyone else. No more tagging Elon for every qualm you have with the user experience. This is incredibly refreshing and leads to a feeling of personal responsibility.

Tone — Broadly speaking, the tone of voice on Nostr is authentic, whereas the tone of Twitter is snarky. It’s nice not to be inundated with sarcasm. People sound happy and optimistic on Nostr, whereas on Twitter everyone sounds like they’re complaining.

Technical competence — The typical Nostrich is far more tech savvy than the typical Twitter user. You can get better answers to technical questions on Nostr than anywhere else I’ve tried.

Scammers — You won’t find many scammers on Nostr. And if you do, they won’t have much of a following. The reason is that you cannot delete posts, and you cannot block someone from commenting on your posts. There is nowhere to hide if you try to scam people on Nostr. You’ll be found out immediately. On Twitter, scammers easily hide behind a multitude of blocks and deleted posts.

Building the future — On Nostr, we’ve moved beyond tired olde arguments of “Bitcoin vs fiat” and “Bitcoin vs scamcoin.” Instead, we are actively building towards the future on a Bitcoin / LN / Nostr standard. No need to post the “it’s all so tiresome” meme.

Scale — Today, Twitter still has far more scale than Nostr. Twitter is the primary battleground of ideas. And Twitter has more far-reaching news and information. Therefore, in order to stay tapped in to the broader consciousness collective, and to wake people up to the perils of fiat and the benefits of Bitcoin, it still makes sense to have a presence on Twitter. Over time, however, Nostr will grow to far grander scale than any centralized social media platform due to its free, open source nature.

Connection — Nostr connects freedom minded individuals in China, America, and everywhere else in the world. No firewall can stop people from accessing Nostr. By comparison, every centralized social media app has to abide by authoritarian laws in each respective country. Nostr is connecting the world, and it’s not asking permission in order to do so.

In sum, I’ll to continue to have a presence on Twitter, but will be primarily posting to Nostr, as I believe it is the future of global, permissionless communications.

The freedom of not having anyone looking over your shoulder is something that cannot be expressed in words. After MoT, Twitter feels like shooting pool with a rope.

What we need to watch out for is AI lying to achieve another, unspecified outcome. It’s all good as long as we can trust it to be honest with us.
