If you shitcoin it, you rug pull it.

If you #bitcoin it, you self custody it.

No custodian is too big to fail.

Don't get rugged.

Too bad. New trousers. Worn for the first time at the BTC Burgenland by @matthias_reder . Sharp table edge. Hole in the trousers.

Luckily my wife found a sticker to sew over them at @SatoshiStoreio.

An elderly women just had a hard orgasm at my gym while working out.

Interesting start to the day 😂

Which mobile nostr client are you using?

Sorry, but your #Zapathon ritual is pathetic.

It reminds me a bit of the carneval of the Germans where otherwise miserable, bad-tempered people become funny and cheerful at the push of a button (or the arrival at a certain defined time period). It's a little forced and disingenuous.

People should be zapping more debate contributions that they see. And since we're all freedom-loving, somehow more conscious participants of this alternative network, we should honor and reward contributions, that don't necessarily affirm our viewpoint (cuz that's what the Tweeps over there do), but provide a valid argument and broaden our perspectives, right?

But wait, there are no widespread debates going on here! I see a lot of cult-like mantras, which are repeated until they are vomited up, hedonism and some dev stuff. Whereby the latter still represents the highest content level. This platform also needs some technical upgrading, only the fewest clients even have the possibility of quote resharing. And while we're at it, why not reintroduce a pingback feature that worked so well for weblogs? Hashtags are not really suited to keep track of a public discussion..

I really hope that these are the usual teething problems of a new platform, like the first awkward phases of Facebook (anybody remember the poke feature?) and that this currently dominating mindless conversation culture will soon be forgotten.

For #nostr to become a really serious alternative to what is currently being built up with millions of capital and a lot of brainwork, it must clear this hurdle and there must be other notes in the trends than those of the most zapped flesh merchants and a few smug sayings like "people aren't yet ready for nostr. and that's ok".

Because people are ready. Nostr and its prevailing discussion culture is not.

i'm glad that the saying is "tell absolutely everyone that you interact with how to behave and what to think and what to do and patronize them while doing it" and not "be the change you want to see in the world" or smthng stupid like that

The US Gov blocked a bill to monitor the billions of dollars we send to Ukraine but passed one to hire 87k IRS agents to track our venmo payments.

people aren't yet ready for nostr. and that's ok.

Good Morning Nostr 🧡⚡

Best podcast you listened to this week?

nostr 🤝 AI 🤝 bitcoin

-------------------------

- open permissionless interoperable protocols for money and communication will become the standard way to interact with AI

- machines need to communicate without centralized third parties - nostr is ideal

- machines need to be able to receive and send payments without centralized third parties - bitcoin is ideal

Few understand this but it will be incredibly obvious in hindsight.

Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't.

Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else does—no matter how ridiculous.

The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.

Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.
