MEME ROUND UP!

Please post your favorite/most impactful Nostr memes you’ve seen.

Sats will be zapped.

If you’re not memeing, you’re being modeled.

DARPA built a program called TIDES to scan the internet, translate every language, extract meaning, and summarize it for intelligence agencies.

The goal? Strip your words of nuance and make you readable, predictable, prosecutable.

Memes break that system.

They can’t translate. They’re layered, ironic, slippery, and deeply cultural. They confuse the machine. They jam the signal.

They turn serious ideas into punchlines the state can’t parse.

TIDES needs clarity.

Memes deny it.

If language is now a battlefield, humor is armor.

Airbnb owns no homes.

Uber owns no cars.

MicroStrategy holds no Bitcoin.

Welcome to the new economy.

If centralized coordinators are considered unlicensed money transmitting business, what does that imply for ecash mints?

I feel so bad for vegans

Cheers

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - White House task force releases lengthy report on crypto including legislative proposals, details on crypto reserves.

The expected 168-page report outlines recommendations on how crypto should be regulated, including language around the banking sector, stablecoins, taxes and illicit financing.

One cryptocurrency industry official said it would serve as a "regulatory bible", or guide for the sector.

"The Task Force, as authors of this report, supports the idea that digital assets and blockchain technologies can revolutionize not only the U.S. financial system, but also the ownership and governance systems of the economy as a whole. American entrepreneurs innovating in new sectors through these technologies deserve both clarification of the policies influencing their efforts and congratulations for the progress they've made."

The task force made several recommendations in the report, including urging Congress to affirm that people can hold their own cryptocurrencies without intermediaries, as well as granting the CFTC the authority to "regulate cash markets for unsecured digital assets."

The President's Task Force has also been tasked with evaluating the creation of a digital asset reserve.

Check footnote 496 at the bottom lol the us gov is gonna stack sats

Right. He likes to say he gives advice your grandmother would give.

That's great advice, based on sound money. That same advice doesn't work with the communist money the United States now uses.

I reverse-engineered Dave Ramsey's math today for someone making $80,000 per year.

Step 1: Save thousand fiat bucks. Use his famous debt-backed fiat paper cash envelope system or the master-slave electronic cash system with a debit card. Whatever you do, according to Dave, "DO NOT BUY BITCOIN."

Baby Step 2: Set a budget. Pay the minimum payments on all but one bill. Throw an extra $1,000 per month at the debt until you pay off your $100,000 + student loans.

Step 3: Save $20,000 in a fiat savings account that pays $

0.01% in case there's an emergency. By the way, "I don't have enough bitcoin," is not an emergency. Stay humble, stack savings account deposits.

Step 4: Buy a 15 year mortgage with a 20% down payment. $92,441.20. That's only

78,108,323 sats--Not even a whole coin.

Step 5: Buy A Mortgage. Woo hoo! AC breaks. There goes the emergency fund. Stay humble, stack savings deposits again. The interest rates on my mortgage are worse than those fucking student loans. I better door dash my ass off.

Baby Step 6:

Time to buy bitcoin yet? No. Stay humble, stack stonks. Wait, only like 3 of those things were worth more than bitcoin when I started paying my debt off. What the fuck? Seriously? Why did you say I should not buy bitcoin when a whole coin was less than one month's worth of my student loan payments?

Bitcoin is too VoLoTiLe.

Of course import prices aren't down. Competition has already squeezed out all margins available.

The idea of import taxes, officially, isn't to bilk foreign producers out of available funds they're somehow withholding. Taxes are meant to encourage local production that replaces imports. That, of course, is easier said than done.

Propaganda I’m NOT falling for, as a Bitcoiner:

1. Political saviorism. I don’t believe in politicians. Left, right, they’re all playing the same game. Flirting with state power goes against the values of Bitcoin. You can’t vote your way into freedom.

2. 'Tradwife' isn’t cool. Middle/low class women weren’t happy, they were broke & dependent. Rich housewives were always the exception. If you can’t leave it’s not love, it’s a trap. Bitcoin = real choices for everyone.

3. HODL until you die. No thanks. I’m here for freedom, not for another religion. Bitcoin is a tool. Use it to live well, not just to cope. Spend it, enjoy it, build with it.

4. Extreme purity culture. Yes, I care about security. But I also live in the real world. I won’t die if I buy a coffee with a custodial wallet. Tradeoffs are fine if you are free to choose them.

5. Cut everyone off. I won’t 'divorce' my friends and family because they don’t get it. They are free to stay out. I am free to stay close. One day, they might ask. I’ll be there. Love > ego

6. “Bitcoin fixes everything”. No, it doesn’t. That’s a childish take. Bitcoin is powerful, but it’s not magic. It won’t fix your relationship, your bad diet or your ego. It gives you tools... not a personality.

Fix yourself. Then use Bitcoin to build better.

Yea, but that is separate from traceability. Traceability also means more potential to identify you over time even if your identity is initially unknown.

⚡️🚨 NEW - YouTube will begin using AI to monitor user behavior and psychology to determine whether viewers in the U.S. are over or under the age of 18.

I don’t think it’s outside of the norm I’ve lived in both congested cities and very rural areas and both experience frequent bandwidth constraints (no cables at all or too many homes using one centralized hub)… Bluetooth activitied hardware nodes can be implemented quickly in communities in a decentralized way

This may not make a difference for a normie but in small villages abroad that’s a game changer…. It also would reduce load in a fifteen minute city scenario which is largely where our future is headed- network states

Boost it

Im confused. ISPs certainly face bandwidth constraints… we saw an example of this during that Paul fight

not belief, just reality? mesh networks add redundancy for local disasters or shutdowns but there's not a constraint in networking for bandwidth.

Weird that you believe that

nostr how does using mesh networks vastly improve current bandwidth constraints that we are facing globally?

#asknostr

Nostr looking a whole lot more compelling to Brits this week eh?

So you when you fold back the sheet you see the non patterned side?

Do you ever feel like fun times are fleeting?

Like going out with friends on a weekend or sleeping with a beautiful woman. Feels great in the moment but then the moment passes. You remember it but don’t derive the same pleasure from the memory. So what’s the point?

Thinking to have 5 egss right now. #foodstr #meme

Nihilism isn’t cowardice; it’s the logical consequence of rejecting God. If you reject the Creator, the universe offers no true purpose. Wrestling the void then becomes meaningless.

If the abyss means nothing, why wrestle it? Your fight already admits there’s something worth fighting for

No, I speak of grace because I know what I am without it. The world doesn’t just lack rescue. I’m the one who needs it. Grace isn’t a crutch for cowards. It’s the only lifeline for those who’ve stopped pretending they can swim.

I get it, falling feels like freedom when you’re used to chains. But what if the ground isn’t your finish line, and grace was always the off-ramp?

The man in free fall laughs at gravity, right until it stops laughing back

Freedom without meaning is just a man in free fall calling it flight

If life has purpose beyond randomness, what could that mean for how you live? Would it change the way you see yourself, your choices, or even your future? It’s worth thinking about.

The world is so fucked up right now! I’m looking for something uplifting—beyond things like Bitcoin—to spark some optimism and keep me going.

Holy shit how many friends do you have left? Lol

Bitcoiners know

The the freedom to transact would be great ....

This is what I'm wondering as well ...

When I found bitcoin I thought I had found the end. The happily ever after. What I didn’t realize was that my whole world would be thrown upside down through a reality warping perspective shift that would ultimately lead me to view almost everything prior irrelevant or a comfortable lie.

Seeking truth is a journey that starts outward and ends at the center of your soul.
