Bitcoin & Books. GP at Ego Death Capital @PrestonPysh on Twitter.

So I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a new book in preparation for a podcast we’ll be recording, and all I can say is get ready people! My god get ready...

If you can’t understand the value prop of Bitcoin after reading this book, you’ll never get it. The best part, she doesn’t even discuss bitcoin until chapter 20. 🤣

Mark my words, it’ll be a landmark classic that generations will reference. It's insanely thorough but also very accessible considering the complexity of the material that’s covered.

I think she plans to have it punished very soon (within a month or two), so watch-out for it! It’s the ultimate orange pilling device for people that are intellectually curious.

Miljan, I'm sure this is way down on your priority list, but it would be awesome if primal was integrated with the nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct nostr app so non-techies could ensure their events are backed-up on their local hardware relay.

Glassnode just published this chart:

Net Whale Balance Decline of 255k BTC from exchanges since 30 May.

Largest on record.

I have no idea what that guys deal is, but it sure seems like he got seriously burnt on crypto and is now on a vendetta to "educate" people on why it's "all" toxic.

Just unsubscribed from Twitter Blue.

Everything nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx keeps telling us about that service is true.

It's deeply disturbing.

Nostr and Bitcoin are our hope people!

How anyone could think this isn't a direct and persistent attack against our cultural identity is beyond my comprehension.

Wow! So I just jumped into a chat with a few guys from France and it was super easy to verify my account. The audio was incredible.

Between Twitter moving to a dystopian hell-hole with the X re-brand or everyone talking about World Coin, I just can't do it today.

I need to be on Nostr WAY more often. Sorry to bring it up here...

Can I just say, Primal is really badass. Can't wait to see where this is at in another year. Bravo to nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr and his team!

I look at this less from the lens of "saving the dollar"

and more like:

Saving the American population from a head-on collision with the fierce reality of an emerging monetary system that can't be outcompeted with. It will wreck havoc on nation states that continue to ignore it's growth and value proposition (relative to fiat) on the global stage.

What Kennedy is saying here is REALLY important - and not just for the US, but for any country trying to navigate this emerging situation.

Discuss.

So nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw "arguably more useful”, but how about from a security standpoint. Is it equally as secure as taproot? And nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 you say “our only hope”….do you mean our only hope for scaling on layer 2?! Because as far as I’m concerned the “king” in this chess match is making sure Bitcoin’s SoV is never compromised on layer 1 and if that’s compromised in any kind of way the entire thing is a failure…

Imagine trying to jump from one train to the other if:

Train A is going 65 mph

&

Train B is going 60 mph

Only these trains aren't running in the same direction. They are running in opposite directions.

That's what "pegging" the dollar to Bitcoin would look and feel like. You can attempt that jump, but like Joe Carlasare says, "The new paradigm isn't forced upon the old; it succeeds it."

It sure did!! In fact I’m trying to set that up for myself right now. How do I set-up the nwc connection string input? It says, “Nostr+walletconnect://7c30”. But I’m too dense to understand how I do that for my LNURL address…?

We are having a panel discussion about NOSTR at Bitcoin Park. From a tech standpoint what are some of the most important areas to cover moving forward?

My phone just experienced a power surge when it loaded that picture.

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.
