Graphene is happening, things are being DE-googled.

👀 The reason it's being censured is because they don't want US to get any ideas on overthrowing autocratic governments, for very legit asks like ending govt corruption, ending politician luxury pay, fixing the infrastructure and restoring Indigenous rights (which is what the ask of the public of #Indonesia 🇮🇩☠️ is).

Yeah there seems to be some issue with the relays i think

Noted, and we will look to address this in the next studio release

dogecoin degens have forked bitchat and are now using nostr without realizing it.

amazing.

I simply cannot wrap my head around the fact that people who advocate for free speech and privacy do not show the same amount of vigour and enthusiasm for abolition of tax coercion, removal of trade barriers, rapid deregulation, total privatization, legalization of victimless crimes, abolition of fiat money and making property rights absolute.

Surely, it is obvious that the state monopoly cannot co-exist with privacy and free speech?

If the state considers the taking of a portion of your income by force 'legal', it could easily also justify the monitoring of all your financial and economic activity.

The legal system wouldn't need to resort to deterrence (which requires mass surveillance) rather than punishment if it could allocate resources efficiently and provide services effectively, rather than relying on a capturable and corruptible monopoly provider like the state who does the opposite.

It wouldn't need to monitor what you import and export if it doesn't think a certain category of goods are illegal to be traded.

It wouldn't have to monitor your companies and their workings, operations and balance sheets if it didn't think you were engaging in production in a way that it thought was inappropriate.

It wouldn't have access to your transactions if all of them aren't made through an institution which has bent the knee to the state.

If anything the state declares as a crime is considered so, then it can just add an increasing amount of activities as being potentially leading to criminality, which it will monitor to ensure compliance.

You wouldn't need to ask permission to speak your mind if nobody could enter or trespass your land without your consent, and if nobody can prevent you from using acquiring or using your property harmlessly in any way you deem fit. You could just build a hall, invite people and organise a conference. You could just set up an internet connection without a license. You can start a publication and build a reader base. You can build a movie theatre and broadcast whatever you want. You can protest all day everyday by buying a street or a plot.

As long as the state exists and we depend on its monopoly for crucial services, privacy and free speech will always be under threat.

Do you see anybody that is not a terrorist?

The fascists were always against the Jews and that was the only single reason why they were removed. Wake up...

Prayers up He still will

Look I don't care if he pardoned you that's no fucking excuse to support him.

Personally if I was you I'd feel a lot of shame knowing that it was a pedophile that got me released from prison

Please stop refering to other peoples comments, comments you were making before of after. When I ask something about a specifict commen, please just take responsibilty to clarify as you did. It is quiet unfair to request from me, that I should make sense out of a multitude of comments from you and other people in order to understand your stance.

You can just clarify with closed sentences instead of referencing and a lot of whataboutism. Thank you.

Want to start a #Bitcoin circular economy in your town?

Here are the biggest lessons I learned building one in mine.

The hidden obstacle that stalls adoption:

🌱

The hardest part of building a Bitcoin circular economy isn’t technical.

It’s social.

Wallets and Lightning are easy.

Making business owners feel safe? That’s the challenge.

🌱

Many business owners aren’t against Bitcoin. Many are curious. Many even like it personally.

But hesitation sets in when they think about going public and associating their business with it. They worry about how it will look - if they’ll face backlash, if people will label them unfairly.

This is the obstacle that quietly stalls adoption.

🌱

They worry:

• “What will my regulars think?”

• “Will people assume I’m political or extreme?”

• “Will there be backlash in the community?”

• “What if there are risks I don’t even know about yet?”

Even if they like Bitcoin personally, that mix of social pressure and uncertainty often keeps them hesitant.

🌱

The story you tell matters.

The narrative matters.

If Bitcoin is framed as “radical,” “political,” or “anti-system,” most merchants back away.

If it’s framed as local money that keeps value in the community and strengthens small business they lean in.

Adoption feels cooperative and positive, even patriotic.

🌱

In the Comox Valley I took action to overcome this hurdle by making adoption feel safe, friendly, and local.

Merchants aren’t “taking a risk,” they are joining the Comox Valley circular economy - a supportive network that celebrates local businesses.

• Branding is friendly and familiar, which softened Bitcoin’s image. Builds a familiar community brand people learn to trust, and are proud to be a part of.

• Merchants join as part of a circular economy - no one feels alone.

• I lead with community-first language (“keeping value local”) (“circular economy”) before saying Bitcoin.

• Merchants can start privately, then go public when confident.

• And when they do, celebrate them - so visibility feels like support, not exposure. And it shows others it is safe to join.

With friendly branding and positive language, Bitcoin doesn’t feel political or foreign, it starts feeling like community.

🌱

Celebrating new merchants isn’t just recognition - it’s visibility.

Most businesses aren’t waiting for better wallets. They’re waiting for proof it’s safe. Proof that others like them are already doing it.

When a familiar business accepts Bitcoin, two things click:

Normalization - Bitcoin stops feeling fringe and starts feeling ordinary.

Social proof - “If they can do it, so can I.”

This flips psychology fast. Even a town that feels against it can swing almost overnight - if just one or two respected businesses lead the way.

Visibility doesn’t just spread the word.

It turns hesitation into confidence.

That’s how circular economies begin.

Create a local group to proudly share and promote businesses accepting!

Give these businesses even more value for joining!

🌱

One thing I found crucial:

When talking with merchants and community members, I never frame Bitcoin as “against” anything.

Not against banks.

Not against inflation.

Not against the system.

I always speak in the positive:

• Local value staying local

• New customers walking in the door

• Community loyalty and pride

• Networking and community cooperation.

Bitcoin adoption grows fastest when it feels like an opportunity - not a confrontation.

🌱

The Takeaway.

If you ignore this obstacle, adoption stalls. If you plan for it, you can make merchants feel safe, supported, and even proud to go public in your community.

The way to do that is simple: step back and observe your community. Every town has its own barriers and dynamics - address those first. Don’t try to “get everyone to use Bitcoin.” Instead, focus on creating a circular economy that genuinely benefits the people around you. Pour value into that, and let Bitcoin be the tool that beautifully facilitates it.

🌱

These are the dynamics I observed in the Comox Valley.

Other towns will be different, but these principles are universal.

Bitcoin isn’t just software.

It’s social infrastructure.

🌱

Remember the real objective, center and align yourself and your approach with it often.

It isn’t just to get businesses to say yes to Bitcoin.

What is your goal? Get clear on that.

My goal: building communities and people that embody what Bitcoin teaches - patience, responsibility, truth, abundance, and voluntary cooperation. Giving people the tools to learn the deeper lessons Bitcoin teaches.

Each circular economy is a living node in the greater Bitcoin network.

I want to support you in your town!

Circular economies are where Bitcoin stops being theory and starts shaping the world with hard money.

In my eyes it is greate they waste all their money in these expensive castles. I really think this is a very shortsighted dickrace without a real usecase.

I mean when really only people in such reduits would survive whatever future situation. When you step out, money will be worthless. States who defend rich people will be gone. So how in the world would they survive that scenario?

🤣

Cut the bullshit. You just want money you ain't even going after those small villages where the woman take their daughters to get their vagina lips burned off because it's "tradition" & "normal" that girls make fun of girls who turned 13 & their parents didn't take them yet.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will repost more. Sometimes I forget to do it.
