X is a cesspool but it's the only place to reach the masses..... the dilemma imo 🤷🏾♂️
One observation... if freedom of speech is good because it allows for wars of ideas rather than armies.. the good AND bad of Nostr is there are so few chances here for good BTC ideas to clash with tradfi/fiat normies
Hey Will, you aware of any plans for enabling publication of long form media/podcasts on Nostr to entirely bypass the gatekeepers of Youtube/X? Is that technically feasible yet?
6 months after we though we solved this problem, the basement had flooded again after just a typical rain.
So much of my stuff is ruined. Boxes of electronics and Dover stuff I had to put up in the studio when it was done.
An entire box of bitcoin books, including my signed Fiat Standard from nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak, same with my Bullish Case signed from Vijay, 7th Property from Yakes
The motherboard I fought with for months to get repaired, soaked completely through.
This is a fucking shit show. My whole show setup is down here. Don’t even know what to do honestly.
Brutal. Please know how many people are sending you positivity right now... thanks for all you do. Sorry this happened brother
The very existence of a fair/accurate ruler absolutely exposes the charlatans.
Freedom is only an affront to tyranny.
Will we all look back one day and realize Nostr was the actual beginning of what folks called "the metaverse?"
Doesn't seem like it's a matter of Swan complying or not complying with laws. The problem is that they have banking partners. That's the weak link. Swan can only be as freedom-maximalist as their banking partners will allow. Regardless of the what the letter of the law says. They don't operate in a vacuum.
These people are insane and dangerous. https://video.nostr.build/8a8bd78985d678d25d4feddec8b6242ce5a0cd790a0cb04b742d1f1a3477238e.mov
This ideology is a societal atomic bomb in its destructiveness... literal dis-integration of the nuclear family and individual sovereignty. And the results will be just as cataclysmic. No need (or room) for hyperbole or metaphor.
On a long enough arc all things trend towards entropy..... when will this kick in in cyberspace? It has to, right?? Feels like the walls of centralization are inexorably closing in.....
The "problem" with #bitcoin is that it requires an insatiable intellectual curiosity to truly understand - or at least _kind of_ understand (at least for Americans).... what percentage of Americans have an insatiable intellectual curiosity???
...the remaining 99% will be late adopters.
Overreact to one pandemic. Cause another (and underreact to it).
How does this thing work???
