Whelp…I just hot-taked an Ayn Rand group on Twitter, and now realize I’m going to hate my Twitter inbox in the morning.
Probably for the best. Been thinking it’s time to go full nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx

Anywhoo…
Ayn Rand was a Narcissist, and knew how to inspire a cult.
kthxbyyyeeeee!!!!!!
I've seen that trait at many libertarians in the past. Some sort of scholarly toxicity. Pairs up well with a bowtie.
Being right on something isn't an unlimited excuse for being a dick.
My Spanish isn't perfect, but que mierda 🤣🤣🤣
Comedy is the best self-defense against the governments.
Neither.
Planning to pump and dump some crypto, surveillance blockchain firms, NFTs, and maybe speculative attack on Dogecoin in partnership with Elon or something like that.
I use these guys...and read Clint Ober's "Earthing". He also has some good documentary-style videos on his website.

Thanks, will look here.
I'm looking into getting some grounding sheets probably 🤔
I'll for sure try to make it. 🫡
Summer came and Berlin was the most beautiful place on earth. We felt like we were in the center of the earth. There, where something finally moved and we moved with it.

It was 2024 and we sang "Bye, bye fiat" at The #Bitcoin Meetup on the Spree river.
Were you there?
Great vibes post. And spot on.
There's no parallel for the collective joy like regaining the stolen freedoms. Generations who have not lost them can't imagine the difference it makes in your family life. I got just glimpses of it from the grandpa's eyes.
Eastern Block kids know that we owe Bitcoin to our parents, grandparents, and to the world. It takes just a quick glance in Berlin/Prague/Riga/... , to recognize that it's a widely shared and clearly recognized responsibility there. And it's spreading like wildfire.
Every pub, city and country.
Block by block.
The grassroots signal audibly knocking on the wall.
Finkmeister outstacked Saylor for one day.
Saylor disrespected him over the weekend.

Some thoughts about Nostr & Custom Feeds
A bunch of nostr apps have custom feeds, but they’re oddly one of the few things which aren’t reusable across apps. Over on bluesky, they’ve got 40k custom feed algorithms and it’s a really popular thing.
For example, here’s a feed of just pictures of moss: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:x3cya3wkt4n6u4ihmvpsc5if/feed/aaacynbxwimok
In particular though, there’s feeds for different takes on what should be for you, trending, top, etc…
We don’t have that in Nostr, and i wish we did. I’m going to outline a way in which i might be possible for us to get there.
First off, we’ve got to understand how the third party feeds work in bluesky. The way it works is that each user has a single PDS (think relay) where they post their content. That relay is then indexed, by a global index server (there can be multiple), which may or may not keep a cache of a users content.
An index is a third party service which clients can connect to and say, i’m bob and i want the feed “only posts by bobs”. That feed service does not keep a copy of the content, nor does it provide it to the clients. Instead when user Bob requests the “only posts by bobs” feed, it checks the user requesting, then it’s indexes of content, and returns an array of message id’s (hashes) for what it thinks is a good bobs feed. The clients then request that actual content from the relay (PDS) servers, or their caches. There’s even a service for no-code creation of custom feeds, skyfeed.app.
This would be pretty easy to make. A nostr relay service that instead of serving the full content, just lets you request a feed, and it would return message event id’s for the events in that feed. You’d then go request that content from relays that are hosting content. We could do it with dynamic lists too, but then we wouldn’t be able to customize it per user.
I’d like an easy way for developers to make and deploy custom feeds without having to have the whole own nostr app the way they need to do it now. As an app developer, i’d love people to be able to build their own feeds without me doing the work of tight integration.
I know that Damus has nostrscript which does some of this in the client, but it only works on one nostr client, and hasn’t really taken off yet. A server based solution might be a lot better. Something we can support that works with nostr, but lets people make many feeds.
Thoughts?
Plug and play, feed algos. Independently reusable across any social clients.
🔥🔥🔥
Yes, please.

I've seen more hubris and closed mindedness than before from them. It actually surprised me that they moved backwards on their learning vectors.
It's like they grew roots in their previously more open-minded and curious positions.
Probably some sort of the derangement syndrome :-/
The playgrounds for the more adult kids hit hard there as well.
I'm thinking that gig workers and service industry will front run them. Corporate-tech folks are actively building intelligentsia firewall from anything not backed up by their culture leaders.
Gig/service workers are more in touch with reality, and thus solutions to the real world problems. Tech folks live in the bubble with main problems being how much CO2 their neighbors emit, or what native land their office sits on.
They might front run boomers, but within the same generation bracket, I'd always bet on my bartender/cab driver over the app maintainers.
For a second, I hesitated whether we're still early. And how much.
Then I met my tech ex-coworkers. They seemed more confident and less educated about Bitcoin than ever before. It shocked me.
-> We are so fucking early. And there's so much work to do out there.
It is practically the same, just a bit less lazy on it's face maybe.
It's closer to the mid-territory where you at least start to ponder "who's gonna pay for it", and you create an elaborate scheme of socialist transfers, assuming your transfers don't change everyones' original incentives.
It's too easy to criticize the "let's print it all" crowd; most of the people are in the socialist technocrat camp - "let me just optimize based on the data and science". And people don't see the similarities.

What about taking money from the rich?
Instead of an error zaps should just go to the user's npub.cash address. Could also be a user setting on my side. What do you think nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z?
