Does Damus have trending lists? Didn't know.

I would personally refrain from discussing in public. I have much respect for him, as he is my friend and teacher and also 12 years my senior. I make dua for him, that in time, he will accept it.

It can be difficult to change a world view if someone has invested so much of their life in physical hard assets, such as gold and silver.. Oh, and: "Everyone Gets Bitcoin At The Price They Deserve".

⚠ Hellthread warning ⚠

You know you all love it getting tagged and mentioned and what not. So here's an appreciation post, cause 'tis the season and all that jazz.

🙏 Know that you are all loved 🫂

(Sorry if I didn't tag you. This list of people I'm grateful for is honestly way too long)

So, this list has to start with the folks that brought me to nostr in the first place nostr:npub175nul9cvufswwsnpy99lvyhg7ad9nkccxhkhusznxfkr7e0zxthql9g6w0 & nostr:npub1chmhgx9nwxdpwv6jj6qs257fwzrhtsjh2egvyvqq3rmzfy8cd5fq4nr4y5 who continue to be amongst my greatest inspirations.

I'm sure there's at least 1 important npub I forgot to mention. Might tag them later. Anyhow, have a wonderful "holiday season" ☃

Alhamdulilah. The presentation went well. Had a lot of people come up to me and ask questions. And some of the questions were pretty good, but a lot of it was the usual "how do I buy the bitcoin???"

I also gave away a bunch of copies of my book.

And every single person I talked to asked for my LinkedIn 😂 "nah I'm not on linkedin but here's my npub" nostr:note19f9tkh6a2ftkv5yu79kdas2tlun0snng86plvvg5wt0wtgtwa9fsrxu050

Shitpost you asked

Hey guys, I need your help. Can you interact with this post a little? Like, reply... I'm building a notification system for #NoorNote right now.

Why can’t I zap you?

Developing a Nostr client is fun. You learn a lot about relays. And so far, I know s*** about 'em. 😬

Lebanon recently also functioned without the government. Number of people breaking the law was probably the same as in fully functioning country, or even lower. People continue living their lives, fixing and monetizing the holes that government failure created (like private electricity generators)

I just started the most SAIF project ever today. There's literally no project in the world that could be more SAIF than this. Haha, I know I've been ranting against this term, but if no one can give me a clear definition of 'SAIF' and just keeps defining it abstractly in complicated terms differently each time, then I'm coming with my own interpretation of 'SAIF'. Something concrete.

Specifically, a book or screenplay project for a monumental trilogy. Like 'The Matrix' but much better. It has everything in it. Storytelling, culture, action, technology, suspense, science fiction... you name it. I finished the first volume of the trilogy today. 2 more to go. And then they'll be revised several times. And then I'll give them to you to read.

And when AI becomes more advanced, I'll use this as a screenplay for a movie,

إن شاء الله.

And you can join in on the narrative, the storytelling. Expand the story, make it even more monumental. It could become a distributed, decentralized community project. There's definitely enough potential for that.

Or you can just ignore it and do nothing, and my efforts will simply vanish. I don't care. I'm just planting the seed, وَلِلّهِ الْحَمْدُ. Whatever comes out of this is neither under my control, nor is it my responsibility.

May Allah's light illuminate your path and guide you to joy and contentment. Jumma Mubarak 🕌

Meta apps: WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook - all queued for deletion this week. Let’s see how many I can bring over to Nostr 🤞

Oh yeah, Phoenix Wallet too 😔

Picked up this book on recommendation from nostr:npub1chmhgx9nwxdpwv6jj6qs257fwzrhtsjh2egvyvqq3rmzfy8cd5fq4nr4y5. I’ll probably add a few more books as detox medication.

Just landed on Nostr - Bitcoiner. Serf fishing addict, Lover of freedom, oceans & open protocols.
