When Caesar derailed, each took a stab to avoid blame. Same about to happen to Trump, but with his powerful supporters. A coordinated wave of them about to jump ship, enough so he can't use executive branch to retaliate. No one will want to be complicit with markets tanking.

🟪🟧 I’ve noticed this clear pattern: Bitcoin adoption grows where it’s needed, NOT where it’s hyped.

It isn’t random, and follows pain points.👇🏽

→ In regions with inflation, capital controls, or weak #banking, Bitcoin isn’t just an #investment. It’s a tool.

→ Companies use it to move funds between offices, settle cross-border #payments, and maintain liquidity outside fragile #financial systems.

→ Energy-abundant manufacturers are turning to Bitcoin: mining it with surplus power or holding it on their balance sheets as a hedge.

But where #regulations are restrictive - or traditional finance still holds public trust - adoption slows.

So where are we seeing the most movement? (From my personal experience)

- East Africa is pushing ahead. Demographics, #innovation culture, and a lack of legacy systems make it fertile ground for Bitcoin adoption.

- West #Africa, though rich in natural resources, faces challenges with access to education and financial infrastructure. The upside? Bitcoin serves a real need among the unbanked.

- The #MiddleEast sits somewhere in between: wealth is there, but capital controls, #energy opportunity, and political dynamics create unique use cases.

Meanwhile, in the West?

The infrastructure is stronger, but the urgency isn’t. And where there’s no urgency, adoption lags.

Look, #Bitcoin doesn’t wait for ideal conditions.

It spreads where systems break, where people are ready to build something better.

What are your thoughts on this #Nostr?

Hi everyone!

I'm Ayla, 14 years old, and just joined Nostr to share and sell some of my oil paintings. I’ve been painting for a while now and thought it might be time to let my art take a few steps out into the world.

Each piece is unique and means a lot to me, and I’m excited to see what you people think. Feel free to check out my work — and if you like something, I’d be really happy to hear from you!

Painting: "Framed Gold"

dave can render notes now

China’s capacity to build and manufacture is as great as what made the United States the center of the world.

The United States has been gutted from the inside by our monetary and political system.

The only chance we have is to end the dollar as the global reserve currency. People think this would be bad, to the contrary is has destroyed our country and ending it and our central bank are there only way we bring it back.

I miss the way YouTube used to be. People were so ruthless in the comments that you could watch a horrible video and still get a great laugh out of the comments. A complete stranger you’ve never met could make your day but now it’s all censored. I remember the comments on Rebecca Black’s Friday music video was an endless goldmine of cruel and hilarious comments. There was one comment I’ll never forget: “guys it’s not that bad once the blood in your ears dry up and you can’t hear the song anymore.” 😂

One day we will have a YouTube client on nostr and no one will be able to censor it. I look forward to the laughs 🫡
