This is something I can relate to. I have a couple of gorgeous wooden (home) boards that I love so much I put plastic boards on top of them before I use them.🤣

Unpopular opinion:

Don't kill you're Twitter account. Post & pin your npub and your reasons for leaving. Use the centralized tech company's power and reach against themselves. 💪🔥 #[1]

Pura Vida, my lovely nostricians!

Currently listening to Nostrgram's #[0] on the "Bitconi And..." pod episode 673.

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

This post from Guy is pure🔥🔥!

Well, well worth the few minutes to read. #[1]

Oh, yes, I completely agree. His recent "woke-ism" has completely turned me off of him but I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the fact that he's brilliant and also was a huge help in my early pathway down the bitcoin rabbit hole.

I haven't seen him and I'm not too sad about that.

That is unmuted. When someone's muted, it looks like this:

Don't worry, I've unmuted you now.😂

It would naturally be the"fringe" candidates first that would otherwise be banned on the mainstream media and social platforms.

Imagine if we had nostr when Trump was banned from Twitter.

This is the way on NG. Other clients just do it differently.

This is both a "casus belli" (Act of War) and a "casus foederis" (Act of War towards an ally; in this case Germany).

Not to mention, this Act of War was unilaterally committed on behalf of the US people WITHOUT the Constitutionally necessary decree from Congress.

According to the UN charter, Russia would be well within their rights to declare this a just war ("jus ad bellum") and take necessary defensive & retaliatory action against the US and her allies. World War 3 has already begun and most people don't even know it yet.
