The Global Feed on Amethyst is pretty Global without it being too badly spam-filled, some accounts I block, but not bad. Love the auto-translate.

Last night, I saw Chinese Bitcoin Maxis talking about Cantillionaires!

Most on Nostr are Asian, and most of them are not yet Bitcoiners. Nostr might change that for ALOT of people.

iris gives away free nips05, so they have no excuse.

NIP-05 verification isn't exactly a spam filter, but it does filter out a LOT of spam. Look at how the disk space on my relay started rising once the spammers found it, and then went back to normal as soon as I started enforcing NIP-05 verification to write events.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 US Court likely to overturn SEC denial of Grayscale spot #Bitcoin ETF - Bloomberg Intelligence.

Montessori is a method of education where kids are in classes with mixed ages (but grouped) so they learn leadership, community. Lessons are interactive, proof of work based really, and largely self-directed (within the context of the “lessons” that are usually interpreted as play.

Independence, creativity, freedom, and regard for the uniqueness of each child are emphasized. I love it.

My obsession with bitcoin is really about my obsession with trying to understand what *is* it?

It’s clearly not money, but is better than any money we have ever had.

It’s not a god, but it maintains its oath and promise greater than any human, institution, or government.

So what the hell is it?

AFAICT it’s really a trick to force us into think in the most rigorous and logical way to come to the conclusion that truth as a value is the highest and most supreme value for humans, and the recognition that what Bitcoin’s essence is returns use to that truth through a fusion of horizon through letting us speak and exchange value with one another through the lex of cryptography and the truth it must cointain.

Isadora felt cute. Might delete later.

Bitcoiners who only understand bitcoin from the tech lens and economic components fail to grasp the true ‘bitcoin network’ apparatus of power projection. Unfortunately this means they fail at truly understanding bitcoin, game theory, and the civilizational innovation of proof of work.

Nostr is turning into a bit of an echo chamber about Bitcoin and Nostr.

I keep getting sucked back into twitter scrolling.

Would like to see a bit more non-bitcoin and non-Nostr posts over here.

Wallet of Satoshi works on degoogled phones now and it is glorious! I can receive and send zaps. Added bonus is the sat fees are less than ZBD. Woohoo!

Bitcoiners should be critical of everyone but especially ourselves.

We should hold ourselves to a higher standard.
