Great news for #Bitcoin and #LightningNetwork adoption in Mexico 🇲🇽⚡️
“IBEX Mercado announces partnership with Grupo Salinas”
I’m incredibly hopeful for the future of #Nostr and decentralized platforms with ownership of one’s own ID. That’s why I use it. That’s also why I have begun to use it for the two not-for-profits with I work: #[3] and #[4]. That said, we need to continue growing, diversifying and normalizing use of Nostr. Two ways that I’m try to do so:
1. I’ve added my personal Nostr pub key to my email signature.
2. I’m am including my organization’s (ie #[5]) pubkey in our publications and in our newsletter.
I hope that others will find ways to incorporate Nostr into their work (beyond #Bitcoin focused/adjacent activities) and in creative ways. I hope my examples here are useful and helpful. 
Every so often, someone makes me reconsider my position against banning people. #MangoMassive unite! 🥭 nostr:note1laj06jkcjwfuqt7gah2dsmjq29j5kdcj45emcnsr69tnvc8xz83qff0ek8

#Bitcoin Policy Summit in Washington DC is live now, being streamed via Swan Bitcoin’s YouTube channel. A really important day of discussion with/for US policymakers and partners. Please tune in and also help spread word.
I watched the video and am trying to clarify what Hoque was implying about Bitcoin. I assume that he is suggesting that there’s a potential for chaos / civil unrest or the like and that Bitcoin is insurance against that. He wasn’t equating Bitcoin with AI, was he (ie, suggesting both have potential for harm), was he?
There will be a special type of satisfaction once #Bitcoin overtakes Berkshire Hathaway in market cap…most likely sometime later in 2023.
My number 1 wish list item for Nostr (specifically #[0])?…
A “lists” function, so I can add/cluster accounts that I follow according to different subject areas, etc.
IMO, this would dramatically improve engagement and functionality of Nostr. It would enable us to do more targeted outreach when desired, invite people to Nests, make “follow” recommendations to others , etc.
Hey #[1], any chance this is in the works? Anyway non-devs like me could help? 🙏
It would appear so, but it would be good to have the account verified somehow.
Hey #[0] #[1] and other Nostr devs. Would it be possible to have the Nostr search function recognize npub when copied and pasted with the # in front? That would definitely make it easier for people to migrate over from Twitter and to follow more people on Nostr, since the only way to include your pubkey in your Twitter bio and have it be “clickable” (at least via mobile devices) is by putting the # in front.
Does that make sense?
I don’t think it’s a deliberate/conscious attempt to subjugate people. It’s simply a system, with structures, that contain malincentives and is moving on a logical evolution based on all of these. The question is how do we get humanity out of this system and into a different one. Hint: Bitcoin is a big part of the solution.
🙏 Onward and upward, together.
I’ll be there! Thanks, #[1] and thanks #[2] for supporting! By the way, for anyone reading this who may not identify as “progressive”, I identify with “progressive” but like many am gradually realizing that these progressive/conservative binaries need to be interrogated and whenever appropriate, deconstructed. They often falsely position us against each other. Part of the convo needs to be bringing Bitcoiners together to find common ground and to dismantle false progressive/conservative binaries where they exist. Much love y’all!
This is a pretty decent video about how central banking and debt work. A good tool to add to the education toolbox.
Probably not a massive wave of public education but certainly will sink in with many. As I understand it, the CEO and CFO of SVB are being criticized for not purchasing a small inflation hedge product that would have guarded against losses they’ve incurred on investments. Not my area of expertise but being positioned as something any competent funds manager should have known and done.
Very nice to connect with you #[8]! I look forward to seeing your posts and learning more about your work.
Wheels up for DC shortly. It’ll be good to be back “home”. See you soon Go-Go City. https://youtu.be/PFMcOmQCG2U
