Subnostr

It seems the #1 issue with people joining nostr resolves around censorship, but not in the way you'd think. A handful of Redditors said they wouldn't join nostr because nostr has or could have hate speech, pedos, etc. and you couldn't ban or moderate those users.

I get it. 99.999% of humanity doesn't approve of that content and doesn't want to be near that type of content.

I don't know if I have a good enough answer for them though. I told them that with free speech, that means all speech is allowed, which includes the good speech and the bad speech.

If assholes want to have their corner of nostr and hang out with other assholes, then so be it. The other 99.999% of humanity will hang out everywhere else with positivity and good vibes, zapping each other non-stop.

The client you use can filter a lot of that out. I think nostr has a big challenge with discovery if you are trying to find people to interact with outside those you already know. In that situation you could bump up against a lot of bad stuff.

I’d gladly weather the bear market for another two years just to watch this ratio fall.

A fake spot ETF pump was just what we needed for Bitcoin to break back above the 200d, 21w and STH cost basis.

The news was fake but the pump is real. I’ll take it.

Imo all addiction stems from avoiding feeling your feelings, because you believe you’re not strong enough to handle them.

A cold plunge forces you to feel your feelings and thereby reminds you how string you really are.

Bitcoiners when they remind you they don’t even care about the price even though secretly they do:

I don't know if he will finish the trilogy or not, but this Patrick Rothfuss quote is amazing:

"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."

I love the framing. Wise men don't fear many things, so what they do fear is high signal. And then that last point- gentle men are known for their diplomacy and agreeableness in all matters; what would make a gentle man angry?

More importantly to make it really hit home, think about your best personal life example of a *specific* gentle man. Your awesome uncle, perhaps. The guy who is literally always chill. The gigachad walking around with his goats and never gets upset.

Or, if you have trouble with a personal example, just picture Mr. Rogers. The quintessential gentle man. Always nice. Neighborly. Who can picture him angry?

And then one day, for the first time you've ever known him, he is fucking furious at something.

That's signal. And truly scary.

What would make a gentle man angry?

"The thing that is so important about #nostr, is that it is trying from the beginning to conceptualize the integration of free speech and free trade."
