“Steady lads, deploying more encryption.”

Can't get my friends to leave X for Nostr

Everything we wanted around decentralization, everything we wanted in terms of an open source protocol, suddenly became a company with VCs and a board. That's not what I wanted, that's not what I intended to help create.

That’s a good one.

Mine: realizing I had the ability to completely step away from the 9 to 5 slave life and still survive while following passions…

That we have an invisible, multidimensional 24th pair of chromosomes that is just now beginning to be activated to assist humanity as we enter into a transformational shift of energy on the planet. The age of barbarianism is finally coming to and end.

HodlHodl us good.👍

My advice is to download bisq and peachbitcoin as app on your own pc or mobile… just in case.

Soon this apps won’t be available in app-stores anymore.

KYC is here to stay, and it will get much worst–It's brutal

What we need is new and better tech that removes the capacity of clients (Bitcoin & Nostr) from ever needing to be middle man for the "easy" experience.

It's on us to create the future we want to live in, pushing back against legacy corrupt incentives doesn't do much, except suck our energy.

So I've been trying ZYN (3 mg) for the past week and I don't get it.

It is vastly superior to dip, which I tried 20 years ago.

But all I really get is some tingling in my mouth and a light headed feeling. Doesn't feel like a nootropic that enhances my concentration or productivity.

Am I doing it wrong? 😐

I recommend and use Mullvad as well. Paying with non KYC coin from a private wallet using a private server set up with good opsec is the way to go.

But again, it depends on your threat model and usecase. If you are using your identity associated paid Proton account, using the Proton VPN included with your subscription is fine. It's great for giving you privacy from your ISP, circumventing geographical limitations, and even torrenting, optiinally using another provider's VPN like Mullvad or IVPN or a Proton VPN plan not associated with your identity.

"Support for paying with Bitcoin when you first sign up is coming soon. Until then, you can sign up for a Free plan and then upgrade using Bitcoin"

Where you need more privacy, sign up and use a free nym Proton email account (not associated with your identity) optionally using another VPN provider like IVPN or Mullvad or a Proton VPN plan not associated with your identity.

Where you need as close to anonynity as possible, sign up and use a free nym Proton email account (not associated with your identity) over Tor only.

Good morning nostr 👑

On today’s show we’re talking about the “top 10 coolest things in bitcoin”

I have eleven so far but want to get some bonus input from nostr.

What should I add? What’s the coolest thing in bitcoin right now?

Could be ANYTHING - tech, places, ideas, use cases, etc.
