Who is #[0]? The reclusive bitcoin developer opens up about the early days of Nostr, the social network protocol he built to set himself and others free of Twitter: https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/05/30/bitcoin-social-network-nostr-creator-fiatjaf-/
Who are some good scientists to follow here?
Hi Jack! I’m working on a profile about @Fiatjaf. You have a couple minutes to chat?
When a bitcoin developer says they’ve made “typo fixes” to core, do you take that literally or is it developer lingo for being humble?
FOSS didn’t translate well, but you should get the drift
@jack, thanks for the exchange! In all seriousness, I wanted to make sure you saw my Sanskrit answer to your question…

Thanks, Jack! I guess Morse code is better than the poop emojis Elon sends reporters: https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/05/04/jack-dorsey-donates-10-million-to-fund-bitcoin-development/?sh=7d694fc2d640 What do you say to an interview in code?
Very cool, Jack! Would love to include a line from you in an article about what you hope OpenSats is able to accomplish with the money? Also, will you be deducting the donation?
My local witchcraft supply shop gets it… 
This is cool! Would love to talk!
Going back to the old email comparison to moving identities, isn’t the goal to have a bunch of companies (including non-profit and public benefit corps) all building competing services that interoperate via a common identity standard? POP, IMAP and SMTP all survived the corrupting forces of Wall Street to enable billions of dollars of for-profit companies. Same for XMPP and messages. Isn’t that the goal with the next generation of social protocols?
Serious question: Is this referring to #[2] saying Twitter should have never been a company? I think you’re missing the point that Twitter should have been a protocol on which anyone could build anything with any business model they want. Not that capitalism is bad. Right?
EXCLUSIVE: After Elon Musk expressed interest in decentralizing Twitter, he voided a 5-year service agreement with Bluesky, a company tasked by Jack Dorsey to do exactly that. The startup is now preparing to launch with 1M waitlisted users: https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/04/25/twitter-hatchling-bluesky-emerges-from-its-shell/?sh=ffbece5c21a7
We should talk! I think you’ll get a kick out of this old story: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldelcastillo/2019/01/03/bitcoins-last-gunslinger/amp/
I LOVE the disclosure on this @theMariblock article: "Digital assets such as bitcoin are seen as competitors to central bank money. We consider it worthwhile to inform our audience of the state of their local currencies." mariblock.com/ethiopia-and-k… (I'm an unpaid advisor)
