I live my life in accordance with the 4 Agreements: - be impeccable with your word - make no assumptions - take nothing personally - always do your best I'm a sovereign soul choosing unconditional love over fear. 💚

Gimmicks never last.

They said bitcoin was a beanie babies & tulips. A fad that would never last.

I think zaps will continue but that they'll change in format. I prefer anonymous zaps.

Exciting & beautiful isn't it?

We didn't have absolute scarcity until bitcoin emerged.

I suspect nostr is the beginning of a type of free market that we have never experienced. A free market of ideas & information.

The timing of it is almost as prophetic as bitcoin's 'chancellor on the brink of second bailout'.

Exactly, we are currently feeling our way through this. We are playing with zaps & that is not a bad thing.

Every zap is a signal much stronger than any like or share. As nostr grows, there will be things we don't like amplified & things we appreciate lost. We can use zaps & our follows/filters to correct this without creating silos & circle jerks.

Be careful not to zap from a place of neediness or guilt. Fear is a product of the scarcity mindset & we will leave it behind as we move towards a bitcoin standard. Scarce money promotes abundance, while fear reinforces beliefs in scarcity.

Abandon your fears & zap your unconditional love.

When you take action, you signal to your greater self that this is something important to you.

We should be mindful of our action & keep this in mind.

It's going to be interesting to see how zapping influences the content & development.

I think as individuals we need to become clear on what content & action we desire. Zap that which we want more of.

I've no desire to incentivise zap beggars any more than encouraging attention whores on the bird app.

People and evil institutions desperate to infiltrate Bitcoin and anything that could grow into a threat will throw money at projects both to try to control their development, curry favor with “The Community” and insert their tentacles to monitor, distort, distract and execute their wicked agenda.

Nostr is now on the list of “Threat Apps” and so is to be cursed with a poison “donation” in an attempt to gain some sort of control and influence over its development. The control will appear at first as private appeals for moderation, back doors, not allowing it to be used in enemy countries and other insidious things. If a Foundation is ever formed, the corruptors will want a seat on the board; and why shouldn’t they ask for it? They paid for it didn’t they?

Of course any developer who has sense will be able to take money that is given to zer and refuse corruption of any kind. Real people like that cannot be corruptied and are unlikely to be corrupted if they’re working on “decentralized, censorship-resistant, open-source, Lightning-native protocol allowing for an unstoppable global social network”. I trust that this is the case.

The whole point of this is that infiltrators who are eager to distort, corrupt and destroy are out there. You know the sort; they analogise that Bitcoin “is a weapon” that it is an asset that needs regulation, and rules of the road drafted by geriatric numbskulls and every other nasty, reprehensible anti-American thing. And “Ordinals”.

All it takes however is a real man, like Phillip Zimmerman (the author of PGP) to release something that changes the world forever in a way that is irrevocable. Going forward, all the stomach churning whining see aye ay agents can do is keep trying to infiltrate, as on all fronts Bitcoin and privacy tools spread like wildfire.

The multipolar world is coming where these fantastically stupid and unethical people have literally no place. The best they can come up with is to give money to their enemies. How creative! It won’t work, numbskulls; the problem is too big as is the number of people working on the solution in parallel and in concert. Your world is ending, and there is nothing you can do about it but to join in and be free on the new terms like everyone else.

It will be much harder to capture nostr. Participants are contributing their time & resources with little expectation of remuneration. While there's hope value will be provided for value delivered, their motivation is not purely profit.

I strongly suspect nostr will lead bitcoin's next bull run & that those who contributors who survived the gauntlet will be made whole.

While some will inevitably fall victim to the traps they set, this is one hell of a hydra.

Don't allow yourself to be compromised folks.

I'm here because I know something.

What i know i can't explain, but i feel it.

I've felt it my entire life.

There's something wrong with the bird app.

Nah - randomly generated.

I would have preferred Susie's beefybush79

Was Wallet of Satoshi denominated in sats from install?

I can't see a way to switch it to bitcoin. It's like satoshis are bitcoin & we're all just zapping 1000's of bitcoin around like psychopaths.

17.1 was the release with variable zapping.

17.3 is the current release.

I can't see what version is on the app store.

https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/releases/

Yes - if you're on the latest version.

Long press on the zap ⚡ button

Nostr will orange pill more people than bitcoin Twitter ever managed to.

#few

The moment I decide to open & close some lightning channels at 2sats/vB, is the moment that bitcoin decides to test my conviction that the next block is certain.

That was 40 mins ago & I'm now at least 3 blocks away from a confirmation.

At least I'm not in the 1sat/vB queue. 😅

Tick tock.

Most people haven't got an animated profile pic.

Nostr boomers are the ones complaining about the flashing gifs.
