Opinion:

Something the people of Nostr need to do better in 2026 is really showing love and support (through follows & zaps) when folks with big accounts on the legacy socials make accounts here.

It's these people's presence that will bring the broader audiences to the freedom protocol. The reason why so many normies create an account and only stay a few days is because all they see is a foreign set of accounts to follow (especially if they're not into bitcoin); so it feels unfamiliar/uncomfortable for them.

The easy solution is to always follow and zap the big names, even if you don't know or care about them. (The bonus is that you may grow to like them - especially as they'll be feeling full freedom of speech for the first time in their content creation career!)

What do you think the Nostr community as a whole should strive to do better in 2026? #AskNostr

Isn't Nostr fantastic?

Just as Bitcoiners look on in disbelief at the lives of Fiat people, observing their degradation and the hardships they have to endure for adopting the fake money standard, something similar is happening on Nostr.

From the Nostr valley, we see how on other platforms, including X, people are censored and lose their accounts for expressing opinions that differ from those of the NPC hordes.

Here in Nostr, some of us are Bitcoiners, others are Moneroers, some are spammers, others are knots, others are Trumpers, there are even communists too, and none of us lose our accounts, nor are we censored, nor can our messages be deleted as happens in Bitcoin Core's Git.

You also realize the stupidity of people who don't want to have financial peace of mind thanks to Bitcoin, because the same thing happens with Nostr. Many YouTubers, or people on Instagram or other media, lose their accounts and their income due to censorship. They have the solution at hand, but even when you explain it to them, they refuse it.

Bitcoin and Nostr may not make the world a better place, but they do solve many current problems. However, we will also have to learn to live with the human stupidity that comes with not accepting solutions.

i don't really care how much you zap. it's the action of sending the zap, 1 sat or 100,000 sats, that matters.

BRO WHAT 😂😂😂

JUST IN: President Putin said the USA is interested in utilizing Europe’s largest nuclear facility, ZNPP, for #Bitcoin mining.

This is said to be an element in the peace talks with Ukraine.

Russian forces seized ZNPP, Europe’s largest nuclear facility in March 2022.

Thank you to nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp and the many others who contribute to making nostr what it is. It’s truly an amazing place to hang out with all you good people 🎄🫂

You all recognize this meme. The odd thing about this meme, is that my grandfather, who passed away in 2009, has had this framed in his office since the 1970s. I had no idea.

Happy Christmas eve fam.

Why does Nostr feel so empty nowadays and what are we doing about it? #asknostr
