Holy cringe!

Georgia joins the #Bitcoin movement.

A new bill has been introduced to allow the state treasurer to invest in Bitcoin.

#asknostr does anyone know of some good resources I can link to on what NIP-05 is and how a user could set one up?

Building stuff in noStrudel and I want to give users links to learn about it

GM ☀️

Why do we say GM?

Nostr represents a radical leap toward a freer, more dynamic internet. With Nostr we get absolute free speech, open competition, and genuine user autonomy.

On Nostr, we control our identities through cryptographic keys, so we can join any community we want without losing our followers, content, or voice.

And because the network relies on many independent “relays” rather than a single central server, there’s no single gatekeeper to censor or deplatform you.

By integrating Bitcoin’s Lightning Network for micropayments, Nostr opens new possibilities for creators and entrepreneurs. Imagine zapping someone a few cents for a clever post or paying directly for valuable insights—no middleman, no hidden fees. It transforms social media into a global marketplace of ideas and services, free from the advertising-driven business models that dominate Big Tech.

Nostr offers a blueprint for disrupting entrenched monopolies in the same way open-source software upended proprietary giants. Instead of complaining about Silicon Valley’s control, we can build a world where users own their data, creators earn directly from their audience, and innovation happens in the open. It’s a rare glimpse of real progress—one that puts individual freedom and entrepreneurial spirit front and center.

We’re witnessing the reemergence of a truly open internet. If you believe that tech should empower people rather than exploit them, Nostr is where you want to be spending your time. Nostr is the most promising and disruptive idea since Bitcoin.

And on Nostr we say GM.

Everyday I weep at the slow, inexorable enshittification of software.

SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS THAT ARE STACKING ACTUAL BITCOIN DO NOT HAVE TO DISCLOSE IT ON FILINGS.

Different follow lists for different purposes is like having different keypairs but without the friction of having to change between them. On Amethyst it would be 2 presses instead of 5 possibly. Instead of Follows and global you'd have your custom feed you have named for yourself. For me it would be "Nostr devs only" and "Nostr devs + bitcoin people". I've tried to solve the information flood problem by having two keypairs with little success.

Is nip-26 a thing? Why don’t we have this as a usable signer already?

What’s a good 10 year goal to set to strive towards to?

Another way to unveil this truth is to think about individual diseases.

Neuron diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s MS, ALS)

Cancer

Infections

Heart attack

All horrible burdens… as each one is cured, life extends.

General life extension is frowned upon by many but when asked about curing individual diseases, almost everyone encourages it. It’s a peculiar phenomena I’ve seen over the years. Deep down, I think we all just want to alleviate suffering — and calling it life extension makes us forget how painful the destroyers of life are. The individual disease names make us remember / triggers empathy.

Interesting.

Are nickels next?

"The cost to mint a US nickel is currently around 8.52 cents per coin, according to the US Mint's 2022 annual report. This is higher than the face value of the coin, which is 5 cents. The main reason for this discrepancy is the high cost of the metals used to make nickels, particularly nickel and copper."

How long until Sats replace coinage?
