GM,Nostr! ☀️☀️☀️

Yesterday I saw some Brazilian friends posting that they agreed with the decision of banning X from Brazil.

It’s horrifying how some people have no idea of how freedom is important. Most of them see our current president as a savior, and others thought Elon Musk deserved to be “stopped” because he was trying to destroy our “sovereignty” by not obeying Brazilian laws.

Well well, I thought of talking to them about it but I know,based on previous experience,that people like them won’t listen. When you have to defend the importance of freedom to people, it feels like you’re preaching to flies about how honey is better than shit. I don’t think they would listen. However, I decided to post about Nostr to see if people would be interested. Just three people liked the post. 😓

They’re not ready for this conversation.

The majority of people on Instagram are totally brainwashed and immersed on ignorance. That’s why they’re always posting happy selfies…it’s like their brains turned into plastic. I am disappointed but not surprised.☹️ You might ask yourselves why do I still have an account on ig and fb,but most people here use them as a way of staying in touch with their friends and family. I confess I am afraid of expressing myself more deeply and being labeled as “far right”.

Anyways,if any of you have experienced anything similar,please share with me.

Maybe I’m not the only one going through that.

Have a wonderful Sunday! 💜

Yep same experience. I think it's more important to keep the door open for them to come if they want, rather than try to convince them to come through. It's their responsibility to protect themselves and you're not to blame if they don't. Some people won't ever get there in spite of all our efforts.

Never be afraid to speak what you feel is true, even if they dismiss you for it. Truth needs to be tested and refined, if it's kept secret it will never get that chance.

Have a wonderful Sunday 💜

As our colleagues at nostr:npub1j4lp9hmzd3rqlcw7mml09uwvwap0g5u5wx2qm2lzt9wcqt925jvqf4wzaa commit to sponsor the upcoming Base58 event in Tokyo next month, we would like to highlight that Vietnam has seen an outsized interest in the Bitcoin Developer courses prepared and provided by nostr:npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy and her team

Last year, Vietnam ranked 3rd in terms of sign-ups just behind the expected leaders of the United States & India.

That's awesome, LFG Vietnam 🔥👏🏻

Makes you wonder if someone saw record savings in 2020 and decided to do something about it.

Conversations from today.

I guess to answer that question it would help to understand what USD is. It's a promise note from your local government. The government is allowed to select who can hold or create these promises on their behalf. Banks spend millions of dollars for a charter that grants them this special privilege.

Anything outside of these special groups can't really be considered dollars, or maybe a better analogy they would be a promise of a promise. Stable coins are a promise of a promise, as is any other dollar backed instrument like a stock or gold claim.

You can trade a promise of a promise over bitcoin, nostr, Tron, ETH, pretty much anything since it's not actually anything physical.

Bitcoin isn't a promise, it's physical data that you own without a promise from anyone else.

Ecash represents a promise of bitcoin, not a promise of a promise like dollars or any other dollar L2 mechanism. So while it is a layer above the real thing, it's the closet thing to Bitcoin that exists besides bitcoin.
