Posting primal links of my notes to twitter now. Used to be the other way around. Sweet. People want to engage, they gotta click the link and join nostr. But most likely they want to engage to get clicks and likes on twitter. Right!

I personally think Adam Scott (the actor) is a perfect example of this. Looks much better with beard than without. Your theory holds up.

Far too many self-described “libertarian” bitcoiners have a super caricatured view of what a progressive is and progressive values. We are all individuals with our own thoughts, experiences, and views.

When I say more diversity at bitcoin conferences would be good, it’s not for a status quo, tokenization, or this whole narrative people fuel themselves with from twitter. It’s because Bitcoin is global and the world’s largest bitcoin conference should showcase it, along with some already awesome speakers! That’s it. If we can’t suggest improvements in the community, then what’re we doing here? The status quo “libertarian” carnivore bitcoin maxi can suggest things, but not me. Got it. Freedom ftw.

There’s room for everyone here. Running nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld has actually given me a newfound appreciation for the word “progressive.” What’s more progressive than freedom tech and bitcoin? We are making progress, together, and I welcome interactions with all view points. I’m a freedom-maximalist, and I want everyone to be able to live how they want as long as you’re not causing harm to others.

Some of you bitcoiners need to hear this: stop picking fights with progressive/left leaning bitcoiners. We are on the same team here advocating for bitcoin’s success and greater adoption for a better world. Open dialogue, pushback, discussion is one thing—but hateful interactions, name calling, or personal threats is childish and not helping anyone. Let’s build bridges and promote inclusion. Me expressing simple views is not a threat to you or to bitcoin.

Those who get to know me know where my intentions lie with this project/media endeavor - it’s to build bridges for the left to bitcoin and to increase mainstream adoption and help promote freedom-tech.

It’s not to shit on folks with different views, or shutdown conversation or not be open. Open and honest communication is the way.

I continue to be deeply disturbed by bitcoin maxi twitter trolls spewing hate about my intentions or the time and energy I’m putting into this project. I have friends in and outside of bitcoin of all ranges of views, political persuasions, and focus-areas, and these are beautiful and budding friendships. We are all here to promote freedom tech for a better world. Thank you thank you to those supporting the project and for those reaching out offering advice and encouragement. I will make mistakes along the way but always strive to do good by this project, myself, and our collective nonviolent revolution that is #bitcoin (and #nostr 😉) nostr:note1szfeyudg9zpd5r9j59y27ks0rsge8ztx9mseggfczry5xmsvzj9ql0k5x6

Bitcoin is the perfect marriage between two concepts that are typically at odds:

Everyone is their own sovereign individual, but within the context of community. Nodes via the network. Reliant on each other to validate and interact but in control of no one. Perfect harmony and balance ✨

I hate when people say lightning is boring or doesn’t work.

#lightning devs are fucking pirates and it is the most important work being done for bitcoin tech and to get to p2p mainstream adoption. Grateful for their collaborative spirit and contributions to make this giant global experiment a success. Great ep nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv nostr:note16ukrcvc6rewyy6vlht3aln07m8ljf2qrlxjtru6jhs7txfrggyds95w22w

I wish nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf would allow hyperlinks to carry over when pasting to the draft template. Is the only way to redo those hyperlinks if you draft via an outside source like google docs?

Nvm we good.

I think for some reason it just took a bit longer for the connection to register on damus v other clients.

Switched back to Alby from nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg atm, still have my mutiny wallet for other stuff, but just was getting tired of manually approving every zap. I want to fling my zaps quickly and RECKLESSLY nostr:note16j04f273fe8xpaekgrm7jmv09kqn2x28enwc228r233vvwgvcs3sv0wsk9

Gm & Pv #nostr 🌞☕️

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend 🤙🏻

Anyone else having trouble with wallet connect for zapping on nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 ? Now payments aren’t going through for me and I’m using primal atm to zap!

The amount of times I hear “Costco” in a given day from folks out and about. It’s definitely a serious cult

nostr:npub1anr0rh50qtcljgavps72dmyz76thgcv0y9txew03uq303vekqmrsly3qjz I see you’re here on nostr. I would be open to the possibility of a discussion around right leaning/left leaning worldviews etc, but I didn’t want it presented like battle royal in twitterland.

Nostr is a comfortable and open space amongst bitcoin friends to discuss this. Maybe a nostr:npub1us9uc0sjjg0vyvh7vefgu2a96hx5up5gujl6pqays65hlk4de6hsnwq4g0 sometime? People don’t need to see bitcoiners fighting on twitter, there’s already enough of that.

Anyway, honestly I’d be open and I think many others too nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424

Thank god for #nostr and all y’all #nostrplebs

ALMOST TIME FOR #ZAPATHON

Per this note on difference between twitter/nostr: no I will not “debate” another bitcoiner for spectacle about worldviews we completely disagree with each other on like women’s role in society and the lgtbq communities.

All because I posted that I think major bitcoin conferences need more global bitcoin representation.

I mean no disrespect, seriously, but this is silly to me. nostr:note1ahrszrxg20uh8csy40znkf7l80xp4en2lzgjq49k9wpkmxtang9s2tjq6a

Twitter/X: I don’t know you, so I can be a complete asshole just take it

#Nostr: I may not know you personally, but I’m welcoming open communication and pura vida baby and will treat you with love

We are not the same over here 😂💜

GOOD nostr:note1h0a8tjpth7fhsad3zl0lxgt38yzdnkhzxgxekfsy6fxl6s7g9wpsspwk7k

I’ve been going to therapy for years now, different types, and it’s great! Hard at times, but great. Increases your threshold for dealing with life, while you still have to do the work and overcome pain inflicted- often times from others-so you can live your best life and be the best version of yourself for yourself and others.

It’s always ok to get help ✌🏻🧡 #grownostr

I have been involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion work in the nonprofit sector since 2013. Way too many bitcoiners are stuck in the colorblind days of the 90s. Many are 50 years ahead in terms of monetary policy, technology, and economics, but 30 years+ behind in understanding DEI and its importance beyond just criticizing things as “woke”

What it’s like being a #progressive and a #bitcoiner
