I’m being sarcastic of course. It works and the coolest thing about this that people who have only heard that bitcoin is used by terrorists and drug dealers are suddenly seeing that a US President just used it to buy a burger at a small restaurant in NYC

Thanks to #Nostr I discovered The Fourth Turning. Always felt there was a cycle in history but they come with evidence and support my 2030 turning point year.

Thesis: History is a cycle of 80 years, with four archetypes of generations each of 20 years, living through the seasons of this cycle. This is a self fulfilling prophecy because history creates generations and generations create history.

Generation types:

1. Prophets (idealistic and great leaders)

2. Nomads (individualistic and hard working)

3. Heros (civic, teamwork, hubris, overachievers) these are the Millennials

4. Artist (a silent generation, compassionate and accepting, but rebellious)

The seasons:

1. First Turning: Spring after a Crisis, unity and optimism

2. Second Turning: Summer - Awakening, prosperity rises

3. Third Turning: Autumn - Unraveling, society weakens

4. Fourth Turning: Winter - Crisis, disruption of society, collapse and beginning of rebuilding.

As per the time cycle The Third Turning the unraveling started roundabout 2005 (ok 2008, give them a break they predicted this in the 80s) and peak will be in the 2020s. Well hello Covid, Russian-Ukrainian War, mass migrations, great devaluation of money through inflation. We are right on mark.

By 2030 the crisis will be over and the new order will be in place. We are expecting a good Fourth Turning with the Prophets as leaders and the Hero generation as the main engine in society, with AI, with new tech, with space travel and yes #Bitcoin. This will send us to an extraordinary time in human history, a positive one.

i'm for burning it *all* down. rip off the bandaid. full on sovereign debt collapse.and everything financial goes down the toilet with it. get all the pain done now so we can build on solid monetary foundations 🤙🏼

You can access the web from tor without any problem and you can use the app over tor without any problem.

Thanks for the tip. Won’t be upgrading any time soon.

Its not censorship issue rather its an echo chamber issue. People on nostr like nostr because they don’t get exposure to that kind of content so it doesn’t get shared or engaged with by top accounts. You might try searching #news hashtags to find that content.

Now we’re talking. nostr:note1l2679k6j79hy248usgtrf3cm3e9jmmxwu5q2nzm0wzw3t9m3hxuqzwkp8g

Yeah. I was wondering if mine was finna to blow. nostr:note10nnn4x7j6juwpj25hxva9rpgl5flfccq7j535fn9r04tygqlj6ysschcp9

The minute it starts killing children you should just throw it away, it's not safe anywhere.

I'm never buying an EV

Internet connected (electric) cars that are 'Drive by Wire'... aka giant remote controlled bombs on wheels.

So any connected lithium battery is the new attack vector?

Pagers, Walkie Talkies, Solar Cells, Cell Phones, Cars, Scooters, etc….

Simplifying some thoughts from a post I did earlier:

Here are some user-configurable factors a UI could use for spam filtering on nostr. Some of these are possible using the current version of the nostr protocol, with no changes to relays, with extra processing being done client-side. Some others might require extra processing on the relay's end or something.

Signals to trust a post:

- It's only been reported by a user you have flagged as untrustworthy with reports.

- It's only been reported by a user flagged as untrustworthy by someone you have flagged as trustworthy with flagging other users' trustworthiness.

- It's only been reported for a reason you don't care about (e.g. impersonation that might just be for meme purposes and doesn't override cryptographic verification anyway).

- Someone you follow has liked it.

- Someone you follow has reposted it.

- Someone you follow has followed whoever posted it.

- Someone you follow has previously liked a post by the same npub.

- Someone you follow has previously reposted a post by them.

- [2 degrees of separation] Someone followed by someone you follow has done one of these.

- [More degrees of separation] Someone followed by someone followed by someone you follow, etc.

- You've assigned higher trust weights to users who liked posts by this npub than users who reported posts by this npub.

- [2 degrees of separation] You've (followed or) assigned higher trust weights to users who have (followed or) assigned high trust weights to users who have liked posts by this npub etc

- [More degrees of separation] You've assigned whatever, you get the point

Signals to filter a post - basically just the opposites of the above:

- It's been reported by users you have followed or flagged as trustworthy with reports.

- It's been reported by users flagged as trustworthy by someone you trust.

- It's been reported for a reason you care about (e.g. impersonation that you don't feel like dealing with for the occasional good meme).

- The user or post's ratio of people liking vs reporting isn't good among those you follow.

- The user or post's ratio of people reposting vs reporting isn't good among those you follow.

- [2 degrees of separation] Everyone followed by anyone you follow is factored into these calculations.

- [More degrees of separation] Everyone THEY follow, etc.

- You've assigned higher trust weights to users who reported posts by this npub than users who reposted posts by this npub.

- [2 or more degrees of separation] People followed by people you follow have done whatever I was gonna say, you get the point again
