The recent developments have forced me to re-evaluate my recommendation for Bitcoin IRAs. There is now only one right way to save with Bitcoin in your IRA.
That’s a great way to put it into context 👏🏻

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
It’s insane how kids, mine included, want to spend all these money in clothes for their game avatars. I have had several discussions with them on what’s reasonable entertainment spending and what’s not. Just because you have the money doesn’t mean you can spend it on random stuff

At the moment I would be happy if we could share Nostr notes within Nostr.
Some clients don’t resolve nostr:events and others don’t resolve nostr:note so I regularly see notes of people I follow that refer to an event that I can’t see 🙁
A few weeks back I mentioned that I’m on a journey to become uncivilized and this meme perfectly summarizes it nostr:note1ml8zw2kpwvmj3y0zhmqn8sc780ycpuzczmcny7vdz9vglzj9f80q76nhje

Bring it on!
What I always liked about twitter was that it was never one place. You had all these sub-communities, yes, but the open nature of it allowed for wild interactions and the breaking of bubbles.
It was public square, dive bar, office water cooler, nightclub, and philosophy department all rolled into one. And you never knew who you were dealing with, and when those various "places" would interact.
My approach to twitter was always to never take things too seriously, and that's my approach for #nostr still. There is wisdom to "it's just a tweet bro" and I still believe that the secret to life is to send it, whether it be note, tweet, or in general.
Because you never know who you're dealing with, a great strategy is to assume that the other person is fourteen, or drunk, or really high, or senile, or all of the above. You wouldn't be mad if a stoned 14yr old would say something stupid to your face, so why be mad online?
I hope that we can rebuild what twitter used to be and what it was supposed to be, and transcend it. I believe that we're halfway there already. Given enough time and attention, I'm confident that we'll manage to build what so many on #nostr dream and hope for.
Zaps are already transcendent in that sense. As are cryptographic identities. Putting the user in control (as opposed to platforms) will be key to all of it, and I'm beyond excited to what is coming down the line with DVMs and even more exotic things.
The responsibility is on us to build it right, and to educate users as well as encourage them to take matters in their own hands. Nothing in life is free, not even freedom. We'll have to fight for it, and we'll have to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions.
Much needs to be built, much education needs to be done, much rektucation still needs to happen. But I remain optimistic, because the building blocks are there. Bitcoin works. Lightning works. Nostr works. Not perfectly, but it works.
I can't wait to see where we'll be in 5 years from now. It's wild to see where we are already. This is happening, and it's all happening because of you guys: focusing on the good that freedom tech can bring, pouring your time, money, effort, and attention into it.
I'm very grateful for that and to be part of it all. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the future is bright, we just have a lot of building to do.

Re-posting it here as long-form because threads on nostr still kinda suck, unfortunately.

“Nothing in life is free, not even freedom.”
Specially not freedom. You need to fight to earn it and keep fighting to keep it.

Gm ☕️🤙 I love the way nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe designed this view in Nostur to show nostr highlights as a quote with the original author credited. 
I agree. It’s a great way to visualize it. Otherwise there is no context. Same should be done with comments to long form articles.
The BCE is already saying that inflation will be higher than previously “expected” in 2023 and 2024.
And so they keep raising rates. Another 0.25 to get it to 4.5%.

The crazy part is that 8 years later most people haven’t caught up yet with the realities of Bitcoin
