I am getting close to giving a more detailed assessment on Israel/Hamas, as it drags on.

And it will probably be Nostr-only since other platforms can’t handle it. It is too polarized. Everyone is tunnel-visioned.

My husband is currently in Cairo dealing with some property work we are doing for our extended family. They are only 250 miles from the problem, and Egypt’s acute currency crisis brings it closer to home if military or refugee shit hits the fan. Most of my extended family is geopolitically or financially close to the Israel/Gaza issue and is Muslim. I am thus both close and far from the issue. And I grew up in the US in a diverse region with Jewish and Muslim peers, but more-so Jewish overall.

Suffice to say, I don’t want civilians on either side to suffer or die. I am pro-humanity first and foremost.

Before I give my eventual analysis, I am happy to see Nostr comments on the issue. What are your thoughts and questions on the topic? What would you like to see addressed from a diverse or as non-biased source as possible?

Regulators have been so busy going after Big Tech that they’ve failed to protect consumers from Surfline buying Magic Seaweed, thus creating a swell report monopoly.

Just landed in Canada for a layover and I’m already missing the efficiency of Japanese airports.

The lines are long, the security checks are excessive, the connection process is ridiculous, and the humans are slow.

Missing you, Japan 🇯🇵

The best technology is the technology that we don't even notice. When Nostr reaches the point where it is so seamlessly integrated into our social lives that it fades into the background, it will experience explosive adoption and growth. We have spent the past two years building a solid technical foundation, and we are now ready to focus on creating a user experience that is as intuitive and enjoyable as possible. 2024 is shaping up to be a year of tremendous progress for Nostr.

The money lost by people in FTX, Celsius, BitBoy, BlockFi and many, many others is on the heads of those that made this scamming normal. Namely, VCs, altcoin founders, marketers/influencers who are all not just rent seekers, but straight up scammers.

Happy Friday, friends 🤙

Humanity could be a space-faring civilization but instead we're war-faring

Governments print money & mine resources to make bombs & level cities instead of shooting for the stars
