Maybe nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and talk Elon in to giving him twitter.com since he’s no longer using it. The original twitter domain was registered by Jack as twttr.com before twitter.com was purchased. I forget if it was $15,000 or $25,000 for the vowels.

We could then relaunch twitter as a protocol not a platform. :)

Will it still be called twitter? As in β€œI’m on twitter!” or will it be β€œI’m on X β€œ

I’m not clear on the rebranding!

πŸ˜‚ seriously! Can’t blame him for trolling humanity at this point! πŸ˜‚ We’d probably all be doing crazy shit with that kind of money!

Have you met nostr:npub1shhm32q4zkunmwd0s20z7e6qlwkju7akku7ezte9feajmyhum3jsvy56zk ?

He is a human-centric design developer, the founder of Bolt.Fun, a platform built around a community of builders dedicated to Lightning apps development, a Spiral πŸŒ€ grant recipient, an advocate for #buildonbitcoin , and, honestly, an overall extremely fun β€œpirate” who doubles as a bitcoiner!

In this interview, nostr:npub1y67n93njx27lzmg9ua37ce7csvq4awvl6ynfqffzfssvdn7mq9vqlhq62h talks to Johns about his strategy for building better tools for humans that use #Bitcoin and #Nostr as freedom tools. Is this always necessary? And should we really think Bitcoin fixes all ailments in the world?

Watch this episode of the #MarceFiles to find out what these two talked about during #BTCPrague!

bookmarked for my drive home!

I’m thinking supply, demand and price speculation of goods.

These are means to control a desired outcome. One whose scale tilts in favor of those who have much over those who have less or nothing.

I love this quote and the sentiment behind it.

I still wish to learn:

What will it be of the world when corporations start using #bitcoin ? Will they also dictate the rules of currency then?

I’m all about learning.

Might borrow this one for a future profile pic!

Could I ?

Is ok to say no!

Dearest Nostr eGirls - NostrFans - #Bluesky Refugees,

Once you accumulate enough Zaps that you'd be sad and/or pissed off to see your money disappear, it might be time to talk about the next phase in your Bitcoin journey.

While Bitcoin is money you can't fuck with, many of you are using Wallet of Satoshi or Alby. You can fuck with these wallets. These are great and easy to use wallets, especially because they support Lightning addresses for Zaps. However, these companies hold your Bitcoin for you. You don't control it. They do. If that company went away or suffered a loss, you would lose your Bitcoin!

History has taught us time and time again with Bitcoin that it's "not your keys, not your coins". This just means if you dont own the keys to your Bitcoin, if you don't custody it yourself, it's not yours, it's theirs.

To fix this, you can run these Lightning wallets on your phone with nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg or Phoenix Wallet (and soon nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5). These are special wallets where they run a "node" (a mini server) on your phone that you control. They're fully self custodial. These wallets do not have Lightning addresses, so you can't "Zap" to them.

Here's what I recommend. Use Wallet of Satoshi or Alby until you hit a certain amount and then send it from that wallet to your other wallet that runs the node on your phone that you control. That way large amounts of money are in your control. This is now money no one can fuck with.

And most importantly, be sure to write down and store the backup words in a safe location. You'll see what I mean. πŸ€™πŸ»

If you have questions, just ask here or ask #plebchain

I will THANK YOU almost every single time you make these super helpful posts Derek!

I’ll never get tired. This is the way to help many us get to a good place holding #bitcoin !

That is perfectly understandable!

Welcome to nostr, new nostriches!

The nostr protocol and decentralization are the future of social communication.

The current state of social communication is dominated by a handful of large, centralized platforms. These platforms have a great deal of power over the way we communicate and interact with each other. They can decide what content is allowed on their platforms, and they can even censor or ban users at will.

Protocols. Not platforms. 🀝

This centralization of power has led to a number of problems:

Privacy concerns: Centralized social media platforms collect a vast amount of data about their users. This data can be used to track users' activities, target them with advertising, and even influence their behavior.

Censorship: Centralized social media platforms often censor content that they deem to be controversial or offensive. This has led to accusations of bias and suppression of free speech.

Security risks: Centralized social media platforms are a major target for cyber-attacks. These attacks can result in the theft of user data and even the disruption of service itself.

A decentralized social communication protocol offers a solution to these problems. Decentralized social communication is not controlled by a single entity. Instead, bits and pieces of the protocol are spread across the Internet, ran by independent server operators and independent developers. This makes open protocols like nostr much more difficult for anyone to censor, control the content, or take it down.

Freedom will win. We just have to build it.

Thank you for joining us. πŸ’œ

This is why we use nostr. This is why we are excited for nostr's future.

Very nice Derek!

There is so much to be learned about decentralization of powers.

I’m enjoying the #nostr experience so far!

Endless thanks to all of those who make this possible!!

Coolest place/store/service accepting #bitcoin anywhere in the world?

Please share!

The masses ruin every good thing, right? But yes, if we want bitcoin to be accessible to everyone, we all must do our part and help each other learn about it! So I must help spread the word!!
