Best way to buy no KYC Bitcoin in the U.S.? Best along the dimensions of safety, anonymity and price premium.

What else should be considered?

Happy Saturday Night in December everyone. What a great time of year. Enjoy!

False, Twitter banning Trump was more cowardice. Yes they were a publicity traded company that chose to censor. You don’t know what would have happened if they hadn’t banned Trump. Maybe the best thing possible for the profitability of the business by having a large portion of the non essential overpaid employees quit. Maybe take on new larger sponsors that want to align with companies standing up for freedom of speech. But when the company was run with partisan ideology at the forefront, they couldn’t even fathom these things. Delusional.

It’s great he’s funding Nostr and the others. No argument there. But X can survive. I expect it will thrive and could have as a public company had they done the right thing.

The constitution exists to protect the people from tyrannical government. That tyranny was on full display during the 2020 election cycle. We now know that truth. Twitter was complicit all the way down.

It is not an impossible problem. You don’t cave to demands of censorship. To do anything else is just shitting on the first amendment. Thats what those assholes did. Jack could have done exactly what Elon is doing. Give the middle finger to CEO’s that want to virtue signal and bend a knee to those demanding others be censored. To the extent nobody was breaking the law by actually calling for violence, not just hurting a few feelings, this is not hard. Jack and his assembled team took a totally partisan approach to censorship. That isn’t even debatable. To say it’s an impossible problem lacks courage. You’re saying it’s impossible to give voice to opposing viewpoints. If the left wants to leave X because they can’t exist without that censorship, that’s fine. They can got to Daddy Zuck to make them feel safe in their delusional world.

When nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m was CEO of Twitter and Trump was president there were many calls to ban Trump from Twitter. There were many people demanding Trump be removed because either he violated the TOS or because they saw Trump’s tweets as dangerous.

While catching up over kombucha at the Square office, Jack mentioned some of these conversations and how there were compelling arguments on both sides. He asked lots of people what they thought twitter should do. So he asked me about Trump and other accounts, like Richard Spencer’s and the alt-right.

I’m very anti-Trump but I said I thought Jack shouldn’t ban him, because he’d face a shareholder revolt. Everyone said that it was Jack deciding things at Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg for the meta empire, but that wasn’t really true. The real power is in the money and that’s shareholders and advertisers.

I can only imagine what a hard and stressful job it would be to decide what can and cannot be said in the public sphere, as twitter effectively was at its height. It was an impossible job, one which shouldn’t exist. Jack did incredibly good at managing to find balance, and everyone hated his decisions because there was no right answer.

The reason for Bluesky, and now Nostr is to make it so no company or person has that kind of control. That the public sphere that is social media shouldn’t owned or controlled by any corporation or government. When something of value is held together without being ultimately owned by a person, organization, or government, the it is held in common.

What we’re building together on Nostr is a commons. By making it a commons that’s held up by our software and contrbution as users, we escape the trap that caught twitter.

A commons where we come together to make and sustain space.

A commons where we can do business freely without someone who can arbitrarily shut us down.

A commons where groups of users can decide the rules for themselves, and everyone doesn’t need to follow some universal set of opaque rules.

ThEre WAs nO RigHt AnSwEr. Screw you @Rabble. Twitter was censoring conservatives in hugely disproportionate numbers because of ideology and tyranny of the state. Have you not read the Twitter files?

Never underestimate the power of pork

It’s two weeks before Christmas, but since I live in Texas, of course I’m going to a high school football game tomorrow.

Inspired by the “burn the boats post I just zapped.

Stay positive everyone. Like a child. I was that child. I hated negative thinking. Can’t do attitudes. I remember arguing with people at a young age that would shit on the idea of working hard and achieving. I am that same kid. I will not let them bring me down. With Bitcoin. Love to all.
