It’s not just about #bitcoin. Family is true wealth.

People dig on Nostr for not being a bigger thing, or being full of Bitcoiners / toxic content / spammers, but it’s literally just cryptographically signed JSON over a relatively simple open protocol. That’s it. Nostr doesn’t care who or what it is — anyone is welcome to build or participate. You can verifiably publish and subscribe to whatever content you want in a manner that fits to your liking despite what one person, organization, or government might say. That’s why I’m here. Onwards.

Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't.

Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else does—no matter how ridiculous.

The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.

Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.

The combo of 1) people getting sucked into digital echo chambers and 2) people believing hallucinating AI answers without checking, is going to take a lot to change.

We are in an environment where if things *look* official enough, we’ll usually just instantly believe them. Since nobody has the time or inclination to check everything.

Like, someone can just tweet a picture of me at a conference, and put a quote next to it, and tons of people will take it at face value. People won’t stop and ask “is this actually a quote of hers from this conference?” It could be years ago, out of context, or not said by me at all, but one would never know since it seemed legit enough.

The current counter to this is basically to assume most things are potentially wrong in part or in full, unless further verified. But the risk there is people get detached and don’t bother researching things.

One thing you can do is go through your follow list and remove people/entities who don’t have a high signal ratio. In other words, keep people you agree or disagree with that are locked in and high signal, but remove those who parrot things they don’t understand or spread misinformation on a regular basis.

In an environment of endless quantity, it is more important than ever to elevate quality.

yes, this bot mirrors trumps truth social posts

i feel like we are perfectly situated for this insane timeline

Bitcoin has a way it crashes Shitcoins, #MSTR is no different.

The “2x #bitcoin gains” on your #mstr is gonna be really fun when the dollar collapses and the USG seizes brokerage accounts for “national security”

How the future might look very soon:

The challenge with #bitcoin education is that when you talk about the problem that bitcoin solves, you scare people - and then cover their ears and bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich.
