This is where mainstream influencers miss the point. Nostr and Bitcoin are not the backup plan, they are the fucking plan. nostr:note17luu3jfqyucz2sjggkmdt3vhwxc0ngt0h8pem3tc98xa09jadf4qcjmvsk

So you think that majority of people would vote Biden if trump died? You don’t think people would just vote republican out of anger?

Hmm I didn’t consider that his death would lead to a low voter turnout. I thought they’d rally toward the next republican for sure. If it did cause disillusion, that would be bad for the entire political system and the legitimacy of government. Who do you think did this? Random act of violence or someone with power?

I'm not dog person. Nor a cat person. Nor a pet person. I still like other people's pets.

For me, the only lives worthy of my responsibility are my offspring's.

It’s easier to open channels than running your own mints on federations. If you want it supper private coinjoin your UTXO then do few swaps and then open channels. Buy none KYC domain name with sats so that you can self host BIP-353 LN address.

Capitalism is a wonderful system but only if the capital is separated from the Banks and the State in the ability to manipulate it.

This is where a lot breaks down between the left and right in the false dichotomy.

The left says "capitalism is bad" but they mean control of capital is bad. They don't know they mean it that way, but they do. And they are right.

The right says "capitalism is good" but they mean free markets devoid of government intrusion are good. They don't know they mean it that way, but they do. And they are right.

See kids the problem is this, capitalism in a system where banks and governments have control over the money will always become socialism.

Bullish on #Bolt12 now everyone should integrate it and no need for custodial solutions like ecash and Fedi 😏

People who are anti-likes don't realize that likes act as social proof. They are heard-motivating behavior that encourage people to acknowledge a note as a read / or show some form of approval.

Remove the likes and your client / notes / protocol will look like nobody is using it.

Sure, zaps send better signal, but zap usage is something like 7% on nostr. To remove likes is to exclude the other 93% of people here.

Don't believe me? Go ahead and remove likes and see what happens.

it is. use a vpn, download it from github and don't use a phone which controls its user. seriously man, how are we supposed to resist real attacks if people give up just because an app is removed from an app-store? this is ridiculous...
