I've been trying to get Bitcoin out from my bluewallet and every payment fails. Any advice?
Nostr is to Twitter what Bitcoin is to Altcoin
This is the way
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Nostr is winning.
Not sure if you remember, but back in 2017-18, Brian Armstrong was teasing something new for Coinbase for several days. Everyone was excited and speculated on what it could be. Was it Lightning support? A token they were launching? Acquisition of a wallet company? Expansion into foreign markets?
It was an announcement that they're front end had migrated to react.js
On Nostr you please the market you get rewarded.
On Twitter you must also please Twitter, the CIA, some middling rent seeking trust and safety human rights personnel, some bureauxrat in San Francisco and whoever else in government cares to get in your business.
Centralization sucks for freedom.
On Twitter you play victim hoping the people in charge punish those you point to.
On Nostr you reward instead of punish.
VCs saying something spicy is inversely correlated with their fund's performance.
THE CAPSLOCK MAXIS ARE SO TOXIC
Bitcoin "Moderate" logic:
"If you don't explicitly disavow what some internet rando says, then you're promoting what they're saying."
So fiat.
When will everyone come to Nostr? When there's a good reason.
Community is a good reason.
Knowledge is a good reason.
Making money is a great reason.
If kids can make money here, you'll see a flood like you wouldn't believe.
Bear market yadda yadda
Challenge: Create an account with no email, phone number, address or any other identifying information somewhere and buy something also without giving any of this info.
The only two I know of are Nostr and Mullvad.
If Twitter went down, Nostr would still be up
If Gmail went down, Nostr would still be up
If WhatsApp went down, Nostr would still be up
If Telegram went down, Nostr would still be up
I want to order slabs of beef from a rancher on Nostr paid with lightning. How do we make this happen?
My article for @BitcoinMagazine continues the series on how fiat money changes incentives. This week, I look at company level incentives and how fiat money creates unnaturally large zombie companies.

Why aren't altcoiners moving to Nostr?
They're used to bribing centralized entities to integrate their coin. Exchanges list them, websites cover them, wallets add them. Even Twitter has the NFT profile pics. But they can't do that on Nostr.
And further, the Lightning integration means they have to use Bitcoin! The sad fact is that for all their developers, altcoins don't have anything like lightning. And they know if they come here, they're going to need to convert some of their stash.
It'll be fun to watch the VCs try to downplay Nostr's significance as they try to protect their bags. But it won't work. An actual decentralized network is forming and their centralized crap won't work here.
Let them have centralized platforms. Decentralized money belongs on a decentralized platform.
Bitcoin is a light shining in the financial darkness.
