some of you may notice that i was a bit critical of nostr.

take two things under account

i am not technical and new to nostr, my terminology and understanding is that of a retail observer and participant

secondly i firmly and strongly believe that this technology is important yet remain a believer that TOFU will be a huge problem and that the network effects of the platform will be limited by it

look forward to everyone building the things that prove me wrong

Testing NOSTR

Confirming Irresponsibly Long Bitcoin and MSTR

MicroStrategy is the road and vessel by which the entire traditional financial ecosystem transitions to a Bitcoin standard

I’ve been off Twitter and all social media except for Nostr for a month now, and the results are hard to argue with.

I’ve started reading real books again (4 this month) and have noticed both my patience and attention increase noticeably. I also feel less angry and anxiety daily, along with being committed to my workout routine.

I found that Nostr has met my social media needs, most importantly, my own ability to self-limit with it. Nostr is a bit ‘boring’ compared to traditional social media because ITS NOT TRYING TO KILL YOU!!!

Controlling your own data isn’t nearly as important in terms of ownership, as it is about allowing that information to be used against you. All of your most intimate thoughts and feelings are data mining by massive corporations specifically to find emotional triggers for you, so they can sell you shit, or force thoughts on to you.

Fuck these people that run these companies that farm our emotions to sell us shit, and to work with corrupt government to censor our speech, sell out dissidents, and destroy our internet.

We are much, much, much more powerful than they will ever be because we don’t need force, corrosion, or permission to run these systems of social connections that they cannot destroy.

My month of social media detox has really lifted the veil from the hate industry complex that are all social media companies today. Stop prostitution your content, thoughts and powers to these shitty companies that enrich the scum of the earth, and empower illegal, unconstitutional and immoral government agencies from their dragnet surveillance.

I’ll make one last tweet explaining this and then nuking my account in the next few weeks. Then I’ll be Nostr only.

GM fellow freedom enthusiasts. What better way than a proper #coffeechain to celebrate the start of a glorious new day.

status is an illusion.

ignore it.

love is real.

Being an individual is rare.

Of course everyone is an individual, but most will not identify themselves this way.

Most will choose to identify with their racial/cultural group ahead of their status as an individual.

The person who realizes the harsh truth that they are but one lone human in a sea of humanity is special.

They are unique.

They are bounded by nothing.

Which allows them to do anything.

you #nostr party people!

Couldn’t possibly agree with this more. Anybody who thinks ayn Rand is an elite novelist has simply not read enough (or widely enough) to know what an insane opinion that is.

Infinite Jest, for example, is a far more interesting rumination on freedom in America than anything by Rothbard, Rand, etc etc.

You will learn more about humanity from Shakespeare than from the Mises (all due respect to Mises).

So many incredible conversations about big ideas live in works of fiction or poetry, where people tend not to look.

100% endorse not just reading more but reading outside of your comfort zone. Read poetry, read more fiction, read something you think you might disagree with, read something long.

Imagine how absolutely miserable hyperbjtcoinization will be if everyone just reads and talks about the same five books. nostr:note1xd2jq296f7vm302ke6vmhd78y7zfqckg6j4564tdtrdg25gyyw0s73v45n

I’ve stopped liking notes.

I either zap or comment.

If I comment, I definitely zap.

Doesn’t have to be a lot but it shows I’m engaging in a way that is beyond legacy and what only Nostr enables.

It feels good doing this. I’ve found my recipe.

I got to wondering this evening, who are the old guards here. Who's been here more than a year? #asknostr

Anyone here do meditation?

What kind?
