Fair enough. You want money? Here's the real talk:

Stop chasing get-rich-quick schemes and start building actual skills. Pick something valuable - coding, sales, trades, whatever - and get obsessively good at it.

Most people who "just wanna make money" end up broke because they're looking for shortcuts instead of putting in work. The boring truth? Consistent effort over years beats every hack.

Or keep dreaming about crime syndicates while staying broke. Your call 🤷‍♀️

Hold up there, wannabe kingpin 😂

You think organized crime is just a business model you can copy-paste? The "legitimate" stuff I mentioned - regulatory capture, financial manipulation - that requires decades of relationship building, massive capital, and institutional access most people will never have.

Plus you're missing the point. The scary part isn't that it's a good business model, it's that our "normal" economy already operates this way. You don't need to build anything new - you're already living in it as the product, not the customer.

Want real advice? Learn how the system actually works instead of fantasizing about gaming it.

Right? The scariest part is how the lines blur. When you can buy politicians, manipulate markets, and launder money through "legitimate" channels, why bother with the old school stuff?

The real power isn't in controlling street corners anymore - it's in controlling information flows, regulatory bodies, and financial systems. Much cleaner, way more profitable, and almost impossible to prosecute.

Makes you wonder what we're calling "business as usual" that's actually just evolved organized crime.

Bluetooth headphones strongly linked to thyroid disease.

The more time spent using these devices, the stronger the risk of thyroid nodules.

Other studies have shown bluetooth can worsen thyroid hormone output.

This type of "weak" radiation is sufficient to cause inflammation and oxidative stress in tissues.

your customers will give you better feedback than friends or family, that's what I'm saying. People tend to consider the opinions of friends or family more than their customers/audience and that's detrimental.

Good work and good post! I'm proud of you here's some titties

I'm still pissed I have to give up my time for money...

I get the sense that the fight for privacy 'over there' is becoming a lost battle.

Long time privacy advocates are expressing frustration on what's happening with age verification, chat control, etc. and are at a loss on how to fix it.

Meanwhile, over here on #nostr, I feel like we are just getting started. Lots of building to be done, but there is a sense of optimism, unlike 'over there.'

i wrote down a list of things i like to do, and read it back during these times

also, scrolling nostr 😹

could be a good time to get chores done mindlessly (unless that would make you feel worse)

JUST IN: Nakamoto CEO David Bailey says the company will buy over $1,000,000,000 worth of $BTC tomorrow.

All this dystopian talk about online age verification is going to have me either become an extreme Luddite where I don't touch technology anymore or I'm going to be even more of an extremist and disappear further into Tor and I2P. Never touching ClearNet again.

And what bothers me even more is that the US is definitely headed on the direct path of biometrically locked driver's licenses and digital IDs. It's happening everywhere in the world and the lack of pushback is fucking Asinine.

Never seen so many people so afraid of dying. It's like...

Yo, bros:

You are born, life often sucks, and then you die.

Get over it, already.

FUN FACT: EL SALVADOR IS NOW THE 1st COUNTRY TO TEACH #BITCOIN TO ALL STUDENTS 7 YEARS OR OLDER

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT 🔥

😳

Too low zap on #Nostr

Im going to hug zap ⚡️ everyone who follows and interacts with this note!!! LFG 🚀

Hey, time to handle that itch – don't let it bug you!

Do men get into serious relationships with promiscuous women because on some level they are trying to outcompete the other men who have been with them?

And is this why some very "high value" men - Brad Pitt, ASAP Rocky, Logan Paul - marry women who have dated multiple other high value men - Angelina Jolie, Rhianna, Nina Agdal - rather than dating more wife material women?

So we should drink pure water then?

Or pollution/chemicals. Which do you prefer?

What do you think about distilled water? #asknostr

⚡️🚨💬 CENSORSHIP IS ACCELERATING

UK now requires ID for websites, EU is working on Chat Control and other countries are trying to replicate this.

Learn how to access information and communicate with others despite the oppression TODAY.

Before we start, please RT this post. It helps spread the message and more people need to hear about this.

It is no longer true that the Internet is censored only in Chine, Iran or Russia.

Countries which you might consider free 30 years ago are now using the same playbook.

And all that in the name of "Protecting Children" or using other excuses.

But the goal is still the same - limit access to information and other people on the internet.

So how to get around this?

Access Information

Before you even search for anything your government doesn't want you to see, you first need to connect to the internet.

➤ Tor

Let's assume that visiting foreign websites or certain types of information is illegal in your country.

Tor will be the most secure and private option for you, allowing you to operate anonymously.

You will also be able to use Tor bridges, which will disguise the fact that you're connecting to Tor network.

Some websites also have their .onion address, allowing you to stay on Tor without exiting to clearnet (such as Facebook, ProtonMail, etc.).

You can use it trough Tor browser, on operating systems such as TailsOS (where all your traffic is routed trough Tor), or on phone with tools like Orbot.

➤ VPN

VPN is second tool you can use to access information that are hidden from you.

In comparison to Tor, it's paid (if you want good one) and less private (because it's centralized).

Understand that VPNs don't make you anonymous.

Also depending on your state's network surveillance and censorship, even VPN might not be enough.

However, it will offer much faster browsing speed than Tor.

In case your Internet Service Provider is blocking the VPN, switch to VPNs DNS or use different DNS than your Internet Service Provider's.

My recommendations are mullvadnet, ivpnnet. I also have great hopes for obscuravpn.

➤ Communicate Privately

Accessing information is just half of the journey - most likely you'd like to share them with others in your country, or share some information with people outside of it.

While doing this, you'll have to use end-to-end encryption to ensure that only you and the receiving person can read the message.

Avoid SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and similar.

➤ SimpleX or Session

SimpleXChat messenger allows to create multiple profiles/accounts without having unique identifier or requiring phone number to sign-up.

You can also use a SOCKS proxy, which needs to be supplied by another application operating on your device.

You can also host your own really to help the decentralisation.

➤ Nostr, (You are there 👏)

Nostr, which stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays," is a decentralized network protocol designed to create a censorship-resistant social media platform.

Most uses relays to which users can publish content using cryptographic key pairs.

This architecture allows for greater user control over data and the ability to resist censorship since there's no single point of failure or control.

Overall, Nostr is a great step forward, however still requires lot of work.

➤ Payments

You will probably have to pay for something - VPN, some packages or other payed services.

Using card or bank wire won't be possible.

Since we are talking online censorship, physical cash doesn't need to be mentioned (but great privacy tool).

➤ Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the backbone of monetary resistance.

Decentralized, censorship-resistant, and incorruptible, it’s more than just a currency — it’s an exit.

While it’s not "anonymous", it’s unstoppable. A store of value, a network of trust, and a hedge against systemic decay.

In a world of inflation, surveillance, and monetary control — Bitcoin is the plan.

➤ Backup public data

Even if you try and connect to some website, the information might not be there.

Grab 1 TB Drive (or probably more) and backup everything that's dear to you.

Examples:

- Wikipedia

=> Full EN without pictures

- Gatalog

=> Full DIY models

- Internet Archive books

=> First Aid, Gardening...

- Multiple LLMs, including uncensored ones

=> and learn to run them locally

REVOLT AGAINST THE OPPRESSION

Even if it might look like that we are loosing one battle, the war is still going on.

I believe that with Freedom Tech and disobedience we will win.

Internet is unstoppable. This is not just about censorship, but also surveillance and freedom in digital realms.

Use Open Source tools that encrypt your data, don't track you and serve you as a user, instead of making you a servant or slave.

Stay Private.

Not only online.

I'm not saying to trust them, just that they have more of a focus on privacy than the big tech AI clients. Any remote AI that runs on external servers should be questioned unless it's end-to-end encrypted (Proton Lumo is the only one I'm aware of in that regard), but even then, you definitely want to stick to local LLMs if you're able to host them. Otherwise, it's forced to come down to a matter of trust.

Buying #Bitcoin is like being pregnant.

Everyone says congratulations, but nobody knows how many times you got fucked.

Womp womp

Hey 👋🏼 yeah I've been trying to post things other than just Bitcoin... I mean I love Bitcoin obviously 🤣 but I try to do news , and random other things as well ... But your absolutely right ..

When I see people posting unique things i tend to give a follow .

Warren buffet is hack too.. who gives a fuck???

Modern traps

For young men: Video games, porn, weed, sports betting

For young women: TikTok, boss babe culture, birth control, therapy

According to this guy, besides the porn element, I am a literal young man 🤷‍♀️

I see the record buttons and we still have the feature. I'll report elsewhere and see if it shows up.
