i was considering it a couple years ago. i forgot why at the time but i decided to stick with umbrel.

Nobody does!

It feels good to know I started buying Bitcoin as my own reserve asset before any government, public entity, and even Saylor.

Good morning Nostriches ☕️♨️🌅

Let’s close out the month strong 💪🏻

Hiii, I'm from Colombia, this is my first post and I'm excited to learn about this Bitcoin world #introductions

Goodnight

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

nostr’s identity system is underrated. especially when combined with zaps. it’s far easier than anything else out there, gives its owner full agency, and comes with micropayment funding.

“login with nostr” buttons on every service out there should be a goal.

I can’t ever fully leave nostr because the people need to see Carl.
