#introductions.. If you're new here and just figuring this thing out. Then take some time to understand what nostr is and why it's different to twitter, tiktok, Facebook, etc.

#nostr & #bitcoin are FOSS (free and open source) projects. They are built and maintained by communities instead of companies. A very important distinction.

Nostr and bitcoin reminds me the early days of the World Wide Web. The 90s were my time as a teenage.

In those days, we were surfing online with one another. We were a collection of total strangers, and some of us (atleast I) felt we would make this world better. We didn't know how at the time,, but we knew we would, somehow. .

I went to college to do a computing degree, as I was so certain that this was the future. The adults didn't quite see it as clearly as us kids did, but it was crystal clear in my eyes. The Internet was our thing, it was our way forward.

This was before Silicon Valley, the media or governments colluded and began to steal it from us.. The Internet wasn't as exciting after the 90s and from my recollection, companies like Google began to close their doors to foss, instead they locked all innovations down. Things really began to change for the worst after the gfc.. Governments got more desperate, Google and Facebook then ate the media's advertising model, and since then, the media and the government have been in cahoots. Governments got back doors to literally everything and the Internet been a shit show ever since.

The surf isn't what it used to be. This isn't the Internet that provided hope, instead it's filled with dispair, tribalism and virtue signalling..

But I do feel a change happening. In #bitcoin and #nostr, I once again find hope that we can build a better world that cannot be Co-opted by the state and their cronies.

These technologies are robust and anti-fragile. This time around, we will build it without their permission, their only path forward is to join us.

So once again, let a little light back into your life by setting aside some time to learn about nostr and bitcoin.

Remember the old BBS, I always think about it!

This is a draft mission statement from the Open Metaverse Initiative:

https://hackmd.io/@indiebio/OMI-mission

"We do not strictly adhere to an explicit definition of the Metaverse. We do make the distinction that virtual worlds are not equal, but are sub-parts of the #Metaverse."

They consider all virtual worlds to be part of this ethereal concept of "the Metaverse". This is so unhelpful as to be bewildering.

You would not know it by this statement nor a cursory glance at popular "metaverse" projects, but The Metaverse has a clear and precise definition provided by the works that originally defined it. I discuss this at length here: https://habla.news/u/arkinox@arkinox.tech/LgILfOouzSU_hO3EnuUk4

The crux of the problem is this: most people are building a metaverse-as-a-platform instead of metaverse-as-a-protocol. The people building metaverse-as-a-protocol are missing the key ingredients: it must be permissionless and thermodynamic. There is only one metaverse that is a permissionless thermodynamic protocol: #cyberspace built on nostr.

If you are on #nostr, there's a good chance you understand the difference between platforms and protocols. If you are a bitcoiner, there's a good chance you understand why thermodynamics matters when it comes to creating something digital and consequential.

I happily contradict #OMI in declaring:

THERE IS NO SECOND BEST

#cyberspace is "The Metaverse" and all other virtual worlds are inconsequential video games.

If any metaverse is going to matter in the future, it will be the one with the most hash rate 🔥

Metaverse will be when there is no difference between game money and real life money.

É evidente que estamos vivendo o colapso do Estado de Bem Estar Social.

Sendo assim, aos que já compreenderam a tecnologia blockchain e, em especial, Bitcoin já não restam mais duvidas sobre a veracidade dos fatos.

A questão de um milhão, sabendo disso, é a seguinte: e agora ? qual o próximo passo da humanidade ?

Sabemos que ao longo dos séculos de história da humanidade alguns experimentos sociais já foram tentados. Alguns desses, inclusive, culminando em massacres em mais de um episódio.

Deduz-se, portanto, que o método empírico é o que define o modus operandi sobre a construção e o rumo de grandes civilizações.

Entendendo e compreendendo que estamos vivenciando o colapso, é altamente aceitável levantarmos novas ideias.

E se usássemos do Bitcoin como base para criação de uma nova organização social ? Sem políticos, sem impostos, sem corrupção ? E se juntássemos as pessoas que não foram moralmente corrompidas, cooperando mutuamente, trocando bens e serviços sem o controle de Banco Central ? Ausência total de coerção!

Pois é ... a ideia é um pouco distópica. Porém, existe - e já está sendo colocada em prática.

Busquem por @palavradesatoshi no instagram e entendem mais a fundo.

A comunidade está crescendo em progressão geométrica.

Temos aulas todas as quintas com referências do mundo cripto.

Você que está cansado da corrida de ratos, que já entendeu como o mundo funciona, que também compactua com a dor da realidade e que deseja um futuro melhor para sua família: parabéns! Você encontrou o que tanto almeja.

Sejam todos bem vindos a Terra de Satoshi.

Cool, but I refuse to leave Nostr!

Não venderei um único Sat… meu pior cenário é 42k e em seguida 123k! Na minha visão mais pessimista!

There are no more virtual borders and no language barriers…This is priceless!

Aqui uso alby, não tive dificuldades… associei ao Damus e a Bluewallet, cobria tudo quando a blue cambiava BTC para rede Lightning. Hj tenho dificuldades para adquirir BTC na Lightning!
