Mostly Bitcoin Only. My stuff is TLDR on purpose so you can pick/choose what you want. Bitcoin Store of Value first but then MoE, least friction. Open Source is King. Filters are not Censorship. Bitcoin is Time (Gigi). Timechain. Ocean. Bitcoin Knots. I am a 35 year BI Developer using a competing product of Microstrategy but now am a MSTR /Saylor supporter. Non-Partisan. npub1mp77smkmq77zwp3d8ke2let567cype0m3lhwx7v97gu2fans40qsn7vzdd

Nah. 30,000 to 40,000 people die a year, US alone, from taking one Rx with another Rx. I’d love an AI opinion as an AI Pharmacist with a million datapoints than rely on a human being using a proprietary Walgreens or proprietary Health Services system that still relies on fax machines.

Many people hate this topic but I think it is important.

In trying to get the word out on NOSTR, is it important to explain the history of the WWW/Internet. Interesting enough, the guy who bridged a major gap was Marc Andreessen with his work on the Netscape Browser (before IE/Chrome.) Marc has been incredible with what he has accomplished, browser, cloud computing. However, recently there was a huge public blow up between Dorsey and AndreessenHorowitz (a16z is how Andreessen wants to be known).

It comes down to one rambling sentence for me.

I can't believe people don't see the frustration/vision/passion of Dorsey when he is\was sounding the alarm on VCs like a16z and how their money/direction poisons true decentralization of the Web. (Never mind VCs $upport other poisonous Altcoins. VCs are there to make money and that is not decentralization.)

The only decentralized Social Protocol: NOSTR

The only decentralized Digital Property: Bitcoin

Why don't more people listen to Dorsey and reject the money grubbing VCs/Banks who continue to ruin true worldwide decentralization and innovation.

With 'the people' creating 'the content' getting 'the money.'

Your beautiful vision continues unfolding Jack. Thanks Jack. People will laugh someday, "Twitter/Meta/Google didn't pay you for your content you spent hours working on as they profited not you?"

1) web1 (Centralized) = First iteration of the WWW, "Read Only" or static pages, much like the old days of Time/Life Magazine, you were shown what you could see. (e.g. AOL)

2) web2 (Centralized) = Where we are today, things went from reading to contributing. Here is where the term "Content is King" was introduced. It is still controlled by a select few, (e.g. Google, Meta, Twitter, blogging, podcasts). The companies own the Internet.

3) web3 (Decentralized?) = There is controversy here but the premise is the content providers will be rewarded for their efforts, not those hosting their platforms. The people sort of own the Internet?

4) web5 (Decentralized) = web5 is controversial but it was explained by Jack Dorsey early on why web3 is inferior. The premise between web3 and web5 are the same, reward the content providers, with micropayments. (Dorsey: Goodbye "Likes and Number of Followers", hello Satoshis/Sats.)

But web5 NOSTR isn't a platform but a protocol See Snowden's description at the bottom of this. There is debate on how these projects will be funded, hopefully thoroughly vetted if VCs are in the mix.

The most promising are funding projects/Bounties on Bounstr.org)*****

Bitcoin is a scarce, digital commodity that will eventually be "regulated" by trying to impose a speed limit on something that is going the speed of light around the globe.

Too good not to share from Reddit. I love the FIAT/Bitcoin batteries example. Some times you just have to go to an 8 year old, instead of 80 year olds, to get the truth or see the future.

I wish Bitcoin had a theme song, I heard this for the first time and it is the weirdest song ever, I immediately thought of the incredible Yellow. Since Bitcoin is basically an outer space coin and that is what this guy wanted to be, I nominate this song. Most unique 'experience' ever and I am sure the altcoins would hate it. We have to put up with their noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EEZAivzl1Q

This is about as Random as it gets, some guy on Reddit just posted 10 years ago "Bitcoin Roller Coaster Guy" debuted and got downvoted to 0. That's funny, some of the crappy memes today could even be Bitcoin Digital Gold tomorrow.

Bitcoin is such an immeasurable beast/bitch at times.

On December 12, 1980, a company called Apple went public. The first quarter of 2016, a company called Berkshire Hathaway bought the first shares of Apple which now constitutes 40% of their entire portfolio. Warren Buffet took 36 years to see the value and technology of AAPL? As Publord tells us, "You get Bitcoin at the price you deserve."

Stop bowing to the idiots out there arguing with you on Bitcoin. Have them first convince AI and get back to you. (e.g. Start with Commodity, POW, Gold) You'd have to change Math first to change AIs 'opinion.'

Here is an excellent (shocking I know) article on Jack Dorsey and his new obsession NOSTR/Bitcoin. I am so damn proud of #[0] Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis wrote a song about him: C-O-O-L.

Trying to get away from Shitter but it will take me a while, sorry if you see this twice. Just posted this to challenge Bitcoin Maximalism to use AI first to fight the detractors and distractors of Bitcoin. https://bitcoinapolis.blogspot.com/2023/04/bitcoin-bitcoin-and-ai-marriage-made-in.html

I am neither liberal nor conservative, but I did not read the article, sounds stupid. I was born with testicles and a brain, I can think through bad situations and don't need to carry a gun. But yeah, I am an easy target but not afraid like you. Don't go into the scary city. Also, if I run from the police, I deserve to be shot. I learned that from George Carlin. Not all cops are good, not all Nostriches are cool. How about be a good person. Let's sit down and talk, even if you have to pull a gun on me because you are scared.

whatever, I will be unarmed and gun downed I guess if I can't defuse the situation. Guns in the wrong hands are always bad. You know what you can't make me? AFRAID. What a joke, you can't even go get a sandwich without conceal and carry? What a shitty way to live your scared life.

I wish we could do a 'Flip the Bird' campaign to get people OFF Twitter and ON to Nostr. A gif showing the Blue Twitter Bird evolving into the Purple Nostrich?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrZE4kj9ZhY

Flip the bird from Twitter Dog/Bird to the Nostr Purple Ostrich.

Do you all remember Hotbot , Altavista, and Ask Jeeves? This was all early day Internet, before Google Search. It was the Wild West and tough to navigate. No different than Nostr but I would rather help Nostr than help a fake Wild West Maverick over on Twitter shilling a dog turd meme coin. The more I look into Elon the more I see the comparisons of Bill Gates to Steve Jobs. Bill Gates bought DOS and was an expert marketing guy but not technical. Steve Jobs is more like Jack Dorsey expert technical guys and Apple/to Next/back to Apple went through Hell. Nostr needs a ton of work but man alive I would rather be here than on Twitter. I can't stand looking at the Doge i-CON. What a disservice, once again as the Crytpo bros try to drown out the Bitcoin Bros but time will tell and time is Bitcoin's best friend.

@#[0] is a billionaire working to better social media with Nostr and Society with Bitcoin. Elon Musk is a billionaire working to worsen social media with Twitter and Society with Dogecoin. See the difference?

Matthew Kratter is now “Bitcoin University.” Everyone should follow Matthew as close as Saylor does. https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University

Nice:
