My Profile banner says all there is to say about me.

Taxes are needed, but not in the degree we are taxed. Biggest problem is the federal income tax. Our system was never designed for citizens to pay the federal government directly. Control was to be at the local and state level. We Control local and state officials. The states pay the federal government and if we don't like what our state officials are paying for then we kick them out. That's why originally US Senators were not elected by a state wide popular vote. State government elected the Senators. This kept power in the local communities. Now we solely elect US senators and congress to go to Washington in an effort to get more of our money back. It's our money, but once it goes directly to DC we have no control over it.

I need some help. Trying to create a shop on plebian market. When I enter all the details and hit save on the shipping details nothing happens. Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated. #asknostr

GM Nostr! Time to put a nail in the 2025 coffin! Time to make 2026 your bitch! Stay humble, stack sats,the price of 1 bitcoin is 100,000,000 sats! That was true this year and will be true in the next year. Anything else is just noise. Happy New Year!

You need to post more here! Especially for everyone that left Twitter!

What if it's completely flipped? Bitcoin fell in November from all time high and now Gold and Silver are following suit. What if Bitcoin is now the leading indicator?

Most people(Nostriches excluded) don't realize what this really is. It is a centralization of knowledge. Knowledge is power. If we can't possess and store our own information, we can be feed altered information from a centeralized source and have no way to confirm if it is real/true.

In 2033 1 Bitcoin will still equal 1 Bitcoin, or 100,000,000 sats. Is there another conversion I should measure in?

Having nostr:nprofile1qqsqyjs7pnjprunh0r7sa922ynzndrp7md4fydszx8agljca2qlgxugnxnewj LIVE at nostr:nprofile1qqswkhs47p9unc7lsmqsqv9kvh07sf2pq9gurcan4r8r7s524ap0jfclt62u8 may have seemed, from the outside, like “just a simple zap dashboard on a screen” but in reality, it was far more ambitious.

Every single speaking slot in the conference schedule had its own PubPay LIVE.

Before the event, we emailed every speaker explaining how Nostr works, how to create an account if they didn’t already have one, and how to set up a Lightning Address. For the ones who missed the email, we reached out personally. Texting, onboarding, troubleshooting. Whatever it took. We made sure every speaker had the tools to participate. For the speakers who didn’t create their own PubPay LIVE event in time, we displayed a default event created by the conference’s Nostr account.

In total, we got 47 PubPay LIVEs.

On stage, speakers got to experience the magic of Nostr firsthand: sats streamed directly to them in real time, tied to the identity of the payer, often with comments full of love, questions, or even criticism. It was value-for-value in its purest form.

The audience, on the other hand, got the simplest introduction to Nostr imaginable. Anyone could instantly reward their favorite speaker, send a message that appeared both on-screen and on Nostr for the entire world to see, and compete for the top of the leaderboard, gaining visibility, clout, and often advertising their own products.

A total of 325,293 sats were zapped to the speakers' posts.

Nostr was even featured in the official livestream during nostr:npub1au23c73cpaq2whtazjf6cdrmvam6nkd4lg928nwmgl78374kn29sq9t53j talk.

It wasn’t just engagement.

It wasn’t just fun.

We onboarded.

We educated.

We opened a new channel of real-time interaction.

We tested interoperability across Nostr clients under real live pressure.

And the result? We purple-pilled and orange-pilled an entire conference.

What nostr:npub13nfdp7p3pacqn6202q33sur4djeehf50xagxq3y3pchhzjptz7yqenvn7c and I pulled off was nothing short of incredible.

And we’re not stopping.

The goal is to bring PubPay Live to every major Bitcoin conference in 2026.

With everyone’s help, it becomes easier, smoother, and even more impactful.

Who’s in?

In a world that AI is going to make it more and more difficult to tell real from fake, this is going to add so much value to live events

I wore a smart watch for just over a year and began to develop skin irritation. It took over 6 months for that to go away. That's how I know it was from the nnEMF and not the band.

I would add the one ingredient food should be from your local farmers. Food is a geomagnetic bar code.

Just a quick survey of the room:

Bitcoin drops to 50,000 in the next 24 hrs. Do you:

A. Sell all the coins you have

B. Get shitfaced drunk

C. Empty your funny paper money savings and get more

D. Take out a HELOC and really up your stack

#asknostr

That's not true! That's impossible!

GM Nostr!

Being brand new to Bitcoin, it is exciting to see the passion behind every single aspcet of the protocol. Knots v Core, Cashu, treasurey companies, etc. and I have very little idea what any of it means! I just know tha Bitcoin is the best path forward for valuing my time and not be a victim of theft.

Anyone here collect sports cards? I have some cards I am getting graded and when they get back, I am thinking of selling them on PM at 10-15% lower than fiat value if bought in sats. Trying to gague the interest.

I asked ChatGPT: If God were to create an ideal money for humanity, what form would it take and what would be its properties?

Its response:

If we imagine God creating an ideal money for humanity, it would likely have the following properties—reflecting principles of fairness, stability, and universal access:

1. Universally Accessible

•Everyone could use it regardless of nationality, wealth, or social status.

•No barriers to entry: you wouldn’t need permission from banks or governments.

2. Scarce but Divisible

•Supply would be finite to preserve value over time.

•Divisible into very small units so that both large and tiny transactions are possible.

3. Durable and Permanent

•It would not degrade, rot, or disappear with time.

•Value would persist for centuries without requiring trust in any authority.

4. Transportable and Borderless

•Easily transferable across any distance, instantly if possible.

•Works the same everywhere on Earth (and potentially beyond).

5. Neutral and Trustless

•No single group, government, or elite could manipulate or control it.

•Rules of issuance and supply would be transparent and unchangeable.

6. Stable but Free Market–Based

•Its value would reflect supply and demand, not decrees from rulers.

•Over time, its stability would come from broad adoption and trust.

7. Private but Verifiable

•People could transact without surveillance, yet the system itself would remain auditable and incorruptible.

8. Energy-Rooted or Natural-Law–Anchored

•It would be tied to something fundamental, like energy, mathematics, or nature’s scarcity—so its properties are unforgeable.

9. Resistant to Corruption

•Cannot be counterfeited, debased, or inflated at will.

•Protects savers and workers from hidden theft through money printing.

10. Global Standard of Truth

•Serves as a universal language of value across cultures.

•Creates fairness by aligning incentives: work today is worth the same tomorrow.

In many ways, this description maps almost perfectly onto Bitcoin’s design: fixed supply (21 million), infinite divisibility (sats), borderless transfer, neutrality (no issuer), cryptographic verifiability, durability, and energy-based security.

If God created an ideal money, humanity may already have stumbled into it—or at least something very close.

here is Grok's response to the same question:

In essence, this money wouldn't just facilitate trade; it would cultivate virtue, curbing avarice by rewarding circulation over accumulation and ensuring no one is excluded. As Plato might suggest, it serves the soul's good, reminding humanity that true wealth lies in communal harmony, not isolated hoards.

Thank you so much for the tips! I am working on setting up my wallet. Do you have suggestions on which wallet to use? I am fairly new to Bitcoin too.

How do I make the most of all Nostr has to offer? #newbie

This is my first Primal post. I am new to Nostr and just starting my Orange Pill journey. #introduction nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqs05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sgew2ua nostr:nprofile1qyvhwue69uhkyat8d4skutndva6hjtnwv46r5dpcxsuqz9nhwden5te0vfjhgcfwdehhxarjd9kzucmpd5qzqxvfqd89dw8kqmrjfaz6zt8gfggcg93p4tm3s2slv4jrszuugfmt74rjkj nostr:nprofile1qy0hwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twd4shs6tdv9kxjum5wvhx7mnvd9hx2qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq76kl2yj
