In all seriousness, where do you see the future of Nostr? So far it would seem that the growth has slowed down and we are just flat. Many apps has been created but only few are maintained and not dead yet. What are we missing here? Did the novelty start wearing off and we are just lacking anything that normal user would see as worth exploring here? 🐶🐾🤔🤔🤔

You think that we “win” if you cold store our Sats because they cannot make us give it up?

We still “lose” if you are not able to spend it. You will have 35M$ on your Coldcard and still “lose” if it’s not usable.

They will “win” unless you comply.

I rather KYC, buy BTC, put it on my Cold Storage. Wait for appreciation, sell a portion of it on a registered exchange/broker, pay my taxes on the gain and pay off my house.

Being able to accumulate registered/KYC/Play by the rule Bitcoin and sell it with a registered company to be debt free IS the way to show the finger to banks and governments and exit the system.

Not by being a dreaming No-KYC rebel thinking it’s cool to skip class.

What is your go-to app/website for listening to (or watching) podcasts?

Do you exclusively use #value4value apps? Or do you use a mix?

Hold the fuck up.

Steak? ✅

Anti-war? ✅

Anti-fiat? ✅

Conservative gender theory? What ❌

Since when is transphobia considered a cool part of bitcoiner culture?

Some of these “libertarians” are LARP-y as it gets. Freedom for me but not for thee. Fuck that noise.

Anti-trans rhetoric in the 21st century is gonna age about as well as racism in the 1800s and homophobia in the 1900s.

Bigotry doesn’t require malice to survive. It only requires ignorance.

If you’re a bitcoiner, you care about being on the right side of history. Get your shit figured out.

Hi! I’m an #easttexas #rancher and #smallbusinessowner

I love animals, #farmlife #homesteading, and #sewing. We have a 5400 acre ranch and I run my own business out on it in a 4500 sq ft warehouse where we make sustainable women’s products.

New to this app! #firstpost

Is this money transmission?

GM☀️☕️

Governments speaking out against non-KYC money and making AN arrest is a complete bluff.

If .5% of Americans are using censorship-resistant and permission-less money that can’t be stopped, then that’s ≈1.65 million people they would need to stifle.

The federal government is fully incapable of enforcement on even a fraction of that number of individuals. The Federal Bureau of prisons is already at capacity with more than 100,000 murderers, gang members, robbers and rapists. There is absolutely no room for a new glut of non-violent prisoners and they will never take it there.

They are trying to scare people into compliance because they know they cannot enforce it. I absolutely don’t give a fuck what these agencies say. I’m not changing a thing about what I do. Fuck them and fuck every single one of their decrees.

I grew up within and participating in the illegal #cannabis movement. A movement where hundreds of thousands of liberty-minded individuals decided to disregard decrees (at our own peril) and simply overwhelm the establishment and their unjust decrees. It worked. I will do the exact same thing with #Bitcoin and you should too.

If you’re scared, stop it. If you’re thinking of changing your behavior, don’t. Just move smart and continue to do what you know is right. Moral law > everything else.

I am not a registered MSB but I will zap ⚡️ 84 to everyone who comments for the next hour.

Go.

Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.

Has anyone experienced any bad side effects from taking melatonin gummies? I’ve been taking one a night for a few weeks and they’ve been great. Falling asleep pretty quickly even sleeping on the floor and I’ve been dreaming more than usual.

What if we all just stop paying taxes until the government starts respecting the constitution?

Besides, the government doesn’t need our tax dollars anyway; they just print whatever money they need out of thin air.

I have a bone to grind with you, Nostr. I’ve been slaving away trying to build a completely new ecosystem for a media hosting, and we’ve been charging bare minimum to keep the service afloat while providing a human-to-human/dog support, and yet people complain how “outrageous” the pricing is. If the price cannot afford even a cup of coffee after costs, it is not outrageous in my book. Creators love to complain how they get nothing for their work, while many devs are literally giving away their time, knowledge and investment into the craft of tech. Also, your fucking bullshit about 1 sat = 1 sat, while closely monitoring fiat rates, is getting old and tiresome. At least be honest with yourself, and stop placating bullshit. I am not your slave, I am not your daddy, if you need a good service that is free from ads and other bullshit, then someone has to pay. If you do not want to pay, do it yourself or go to YouTube or TikTok or Instagram, and stop pretending like you give a fuck.

Now go and fuck yourselves, and make sure to enjoy it! 🐶🐾🫡😤

WE DIDN'T EAT THE BUGS SO NOW THEY'RE TRYING CANNED FISH
