BREAKING: Twitter is about to go full sh*tcoin

Who needs some zaps?

The Bitcoin Network (often shortened to Bitcoin, or simply BTC) is the central banking system of the Internet (or internet).

It was created on January 3rd, 2009, when Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first Bitcoin Block, after a series of financial panics (notably the Global Financial Crisis of 2008) led to the desire for a distributed monetary system without central control in order to alleviate financial crises, improve financial inclusion, and enhance human freedom.

Over the years, events such as the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, hyperinflation in emerging markets, tyrannical monetary oversight from authoritarian regimes, and the Covid Inflation in the 2020s have led to the expansion of the value and use of the Bitcoin Network.

The Bitcoin Network is the only monetary system in history to have never transformed its monetary policy, be governed by a network of distributed peers, and issue an instrument bounded to a relationship with energy as opposed to a relationship with a nation-state and/or country.

This gives the Bitcoin Network properties that are unique and also unusual when compared to the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the People’s Bank of China, and other Central Banks where monetary policy is centrally controlled, specific entities are given the privilege to inflate the currency, and objectives are centered around a given country’s employment, prices, and interest rates.

The Nostr community continues to flourish. From building tools and services to make Nostr more user friendly, to engaging with one another socially, to providing value to others for their valued content with zaps, and to helping and supporting one another with whatever's needed.

By building a community on a social protocol that leverages open source software and decentralization, we can create a space where everyone feels welcome and connected. When we connect with others who share similar interests, values and beliefs, we feel a sense of community and support.

I love Nostr. I hope as we continue to grow, we don't lose sight of from which we came.

wow they took an ad out on nostr keyword?

Uncle Les made it here!

Oh good! Thanks for helping me test a few options.

Could be lack of routes. I'm not yet well-connected.

Trying this:

lncli addinvoice --memo "Test with AZBTC21" --amt 47 --expiry 3600 --amp

when bcash wins you'll all be sorry

What if zaps went beyond just a bolt. What if you could give it a emoji reaction like signal charged with Sats…

Hear me out…..

Pistachios and Honey on a white pizza…

I paid it myself to test. I don't think an invoice can be paid twice.

Testing if an 'Any' from my own node looks any different:
