"There has never been a government that didn’t sooner or later try to reduce the freedom of its subjects and gain more control over them, and there probably will never be one. Therefore, instead of trying to convince our current government not to try, we’ll develop the technology that will make it impossible for the government to succeed." / Wei Dai, February 1995 /

Think I will go to my 1st Bitcoin conference in October.

Ah feck, I'm a two-a-day coffee person again

Just as svelte as your new pfp 🤩

So, that was a dud. Tried going through the #introductions feed for new people to zap and not a single actual new person had a LN wallet to zap. So, if you are new, and you see this note, get your wallet up and post again saying so. #zapathon waits for no one!

Still trying to get my relays setup right. Would appreciate some likes to help me know this note is seen.

is there a way to do a group chat on primal?

here’s an Ai-powered recap of the day

March 22,2024

1. Kate Middleton's Cancer

Princess Kate Middleton's public announcement of her cancer diagnosis and undergoing chemotherapy treatment has sparked widespread reactions from the public, media, and fellow royals. The news has led to an outpouring of support and discussions about cancer awareness and treatment.

2. Moscow Attack

A deadly terrorist attack unfolds at a Moscow concert hall, with gunmen in combat fatigues opening fire on the crowd, resulting in 40 deaths and over 100 wounded. The Kremlin confirms casualties, sparking investigations into the tragic event that shocked the world.

3. Ceasefire Veto

Russia and China vetoed a US resolution at the UN Security Council calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. The resolution aimed to address the conflict between Israel and Hamas, but faced opposition from the two countries, leading to its failure.

4. Motion Vacate

House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a threat from GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who filed a motion to vacate his position after Johnson violated the Hastert Rule to pass a $1.2 trillion government funding plan, sparking a contentious debate within the Republican Party.

5. Oakland Upset

Oakland's Jack Gohlke's historic 10 three-pointers led to a stunning 80-76 upset over Kentucky in March Madness, creating a viral sensation and leaving less than 1% of perfect brackets. Gohlke's heroics dominated sports headlines and social media, solidifying his status as a basketball star.

6. Trump's Windfall

Digital World Acquisition Corp shareholders approved a merger with Truth Social, potentially giving Donald Trump billions. The move could pay Trump's legal bills, but critics warn it may be too late for the controversial social media platform launched after the Capitol insurrection. DWAC stock fell post-approval.

7. Spring Deals

Amazon's Big Spring Sale offers a wide range of deals on fashion, fitness products, beauty items, tech gadgets, home essentials, and more. From cast iron cookware to noise-canceling headphones, shoppers can find discounts on popular brands and products.

8. England Kit

Nike's new England football kit featuring a colorful St. George's Cross has sparked controversy and a culture war. Critics argue the design strays from tradition, prompting petitions and calls for changes, while others defend the playful update, highlighting past kit controversies and political implications.

9. Kendrick Shots

Kendrick Lamar's new track "Like That" is seen as a diss towards Drake and J. Cole, sparking a rap beef. The lyrics have caused a stir on social media, with fans and media outlets analyzing the shots thrown and potential fallout in the industry.

10. Apple Antitrust

The US Department of Justice files a massive antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing the tech giant of monopolizing the smartphone market. Apple's market cap falls, shareholders are warned, and comparisons are drawn to past antitrust battles, sparking widespread discussion and concern over the company's alleged abuse of power.

Holy smoke!

$1.2 trillion

This country is on 🔥

Incredible correlation on that chart. Speaks for itself.

Hello

#introductions

I was asked a while back whether I would be richer if I wasn't Christian. The main implication being that there are so many immoral ways to make money that Christian values prevent. And while I agree that there are ways to make money that are closed off to me, there are also ways to lose money that were closed off, too.

There are a lot of monetary pit traps in the world today. There's all kinds of addictions that can destroy your balance sheet, drugs, sugar, power, games, etc. Christians exercise self-denial muscles through God's grace. So in that sense, I think I've been saved from the many ways in which I could have lost my stack.

To hold is hard. And it requires a lot of self-denial. If you want to hold, Christianity is a sort of super-power.

Do we still continue to tell #nostr that it looks like decentralized Twitter?

I think it’s more than that. But not everyone sees it yet.

That's fucking cool. I want that

I’m a tech nerd in general - my specialty is social media, but I’ve been keeping an eye on web3 stuff for a while too.

how is nostr cool? i am going to publish this note to my personal relay ONLY. however, thanks to several clients that have implemented the gossip model, many users will see this note even though it doesn't exist on the relays that they use. then, once they start interacting with it, the note will then be rebroadcasted to their relays, propagating my note around the nostr protocol, decentralizing my originally centralized content. 😲

Hi I’m new here

#introductions

So what? If there is war you think I can’t go to my home country ? Lol

I can go back! I hold Ukrainian passport an I never applied for the political fake asylum case like the majority of immigrants do here in the USA

I left Ukraine in 2016! Unfortunately, I had the feeling that the war against the russia is unavoidable! Soon I will be leaving 🇺🇸 and I know that the collapse is unavoidable 😉

In general, everything aligns with what you described above. However, as of right now, I can afford let’s say not to work, buy a house, or run a small business, but that's not feasible in this country given the current situation. The biggest red flag for me was the lockdown, that's when things started to unravel. Now, it feels like Rome 2.0, and you shouldn't invest in it because it's destined to fall.

I hope here I can express my opinion about Brazilian STF without censorship. They worth less than a bag of cat shit.

#introductions

My American friends are trying to convince me and wife not to move out of the USA after 7 years living here, giving me 0 arguments about the country’s current state.

Part of me doesn’t want Nostr to grow any more because the density of bright minds and freaks will never be greater than it is now. Cherish these days of our weird enclave, they won’t last.

Things are getting wild. For this stablenuts it implies there is trust in some exchange right?

Question for y'all #asknostr #introductions

What are your goals:

- On #nostr

- With #bitcoin

- In real life

Funny how the instant you realize what #bitcoin  really is, it becomes the most obvious thing in the world.

It’s a great feeling though it’s often followed by regret for not having put in the time to learn about it earlier.

Literally no clue what this means. I read dmv and think either motor vehicles or dc/maryland/virginia. Cheers to the devs that got it tho! 🤗

None of the notes but a lot of the images/videos.

Too many other relays already aggregate from Damus.

I’m getting ready to head to sleep and am still processing today.

So, mental health action is high up on the list of things I advocate for. Be it meditation, therapies, reducing isolation for others through language acquisition, you name it, I champion it.

Well, member how 2 days ago I wrote a note about being asked to go to CBS to speak about my nonprofit? I thought I was joining a panel of 4 small businesses owners talking about our different work in Michigan.

Turns out, it was a ruse! 💜A team member from MTVs Social Impact team flew to Michigan to surprise me on air saying that my nonprofit was a winner of their Mental Health Action Grant.

I’m still shocked. My family was proud of me, my mom bless her brilliant heart has been airing CBS all day since she saw me on tv, and I’m just so thankful for the time + additional resources to continue the work we do.

Dang yall! What a Wednesday ✝️🧘🏽‍♀️🥹
