Just realized that it was this day, December 20th, in 2022 that nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m posted the nostr:npub1khd34txqv7s9vdgvfl925r6ytj8j4janalpq08z342ap7dwds3jskny9x4 on Twitter.
I just want to say that I’m really glad to be here with all of you on this beautiful journey.
Onward.
HOLY SHIT GUYS I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE nostr:npub1khd34txqv7s9vdgvfl925r6ytj8j4janalpq08z342ap7dwds3jskny9x4
December 16, 2022: the #Nostrich was born….
Time flies when you’re zapping notes (fun fact: nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s hadn’t even invented zaps yet)
“If I’m having chicken that’s basically a vegetarian meal.” — nostr:npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh describing why she needs a steak appetizer.
Privacy is the enemy of the Totalitarian State.
A government becomes illegitimate the moment it stops defending your private property from plunderers and instead becomes the plunderer itself.
Rights are not given.
They are taken.
Let us take them together.
New episode of nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpq0qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezse4u840 just dropped with David Marcus, CEO of Lightspark

You’ve seen the video, right..?
You are not alone.
“What radicalized you?”
The government must be able to watch you poop. It’s a matter of national security.

If you're not familiar with the insanity of the Samourai Wallet case, here is a clip of Samourai co-founder Keonne Rodriguez on nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpq0qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezse4u840 explaining how the government HID key evidence for a YEAR...
The regulator in charge of money transmission, FinCEN, said Samourai was NOT a "money transmitter"... But the Biden DOJ indicted them anyway.
President Trump should right this Biden-era wrong and #pardonsamourai
The state's only purpose is to protect your private property. And yet, on that foundational thing, they fail time and time again. And instead, they are the ones who pervert the law to steal your private property.
But luckily we have Bitcoin. It's the only true form of private property that has ever existed. Every other form can be taken from you with violence. But with Bitcoin, when you have those words in your head, no one can take it from you. It is truly yours.
You are not a terrorist, you are not a criminal, and yet the state treats you as both.

It is WILD how bad Boomers are at recognizing AI slop…
You can show them a picture of Jesus riding a unicorn and they’ll be like “wow, where was this photo taken??”
If anyone could confirm they’ve clicked into the YT link and watched a little bit of the video please let me know… still at 295
It’s a beautiful night to be alive.

Oh, I’ll fix her rug, don’t worry.
“At its worst, payment systems have been used as tools for social control even in Western countries, such as against protesters in Canada. Centralized payment systems are also more vulnerable to disruptions and service outages than decentralized ones. With the Cashu protocol, Bitcoin payments can be made between trusted parties even without an internet connection.
As the group of Bitcoin owners grows large enough, it starts to gain societal significance.”

ON THIS DAY IN 2009…
The first known sale of bitcoin for USD: Martti 'Sirius' Malmi sold 5050 bitcoin for $5.02… an exchange rate of $0.0009 per BTC…
Today, those 5050 bitcoin are worth ~$565 MILLION…
Shoutout to nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk for being a true Bitcoin legend — Bitcoin would not exist as it does today without cypherpunks and pioneers like Martti who built and USED bitcoin.
Also shoutout to Martti for building on Nostr today 🤙
Go give him a big fat zap ⚡️
I should really find someone to sponsor my retarded takes… I’m leaving money on the table!
This is honestly super interesting…
“The algorithm will be purely AI by November, with significant progress along the way.
We will open source the algorithm every two weeks or so.
By November or certainly December, you will be able to adjust your feed dynamically just by asking Grok.”
