New old hat. ⚡️💜
New hats from the Hat Bar in Saratoga Wyoming are all US made, but a bit too fancy for my taste. So I asked “how much” for this old dinger hanging up as wall decoration. Cash only… and Sophia even branded it for Nostr!! #plebstyle #nostronly #whatfest nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx insisted on it. 🤘🏼

I can handle it.
Remember this day. We might seem a bit haphazard right now, but this event will go down in Nostr’s history as “the first”. #nostrwhat
In person meetups are essential for getting plugged into trust networks and opportunities. Do you know of any near you? Or any in the future you might be able to travel to?
THIS is next level Nostr meetup.👇🏼
Nostriches flocking to meet where people already are, spreading the gospel of freedom tech and good company. 💥
Freedom tech meets freedom music!
Nostr has a new summer festival. 🤘🏼

Twice at burning man, about 20 years ago, I ate nothing but cantaloupe for the entire week. I brought cases to share also. Love melon.
I need to stay focused on work …
I’ve submitted a PR for NDK that adds gift wrapped DMs and chatrooms using these … I’m looking into adding this as a stack.
oh wow. i didn't know that, mani. very cool to have you her with us. (even more so than previously.)
That would be nice. I’ll be applying tonight. To be clear, you and heather are my biggest fans. (Or is it the other way around?) 💜
We've got senior roles open! Projects always possible.

Fun fact : It was nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p that introduced me to Nostr, when I was looking to develop sovereignty respecting apps on Soapbox back in ‘23 … and convinced me to make the switch to develop on Nostr instead!
This is the post that hooked me … after three separate readings. (Nostr conversion takes time… note to self)
Welcome back david.
⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Vance says "this could be a new dawn of an economic age of prosperity" for Iran and the entire Middle East.

If they’re smart …
And even private property requires a state to define and defend ownership … unless it doesn’t. 👀
Yea, the future may look brighter up close … but I think Nostr will be central in the origin story of online freedom.
I hope we have a Nostr Historian.

### Final Thoughts
Whether you're there to learn, network, party, or build, Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas has a packed week of Nostr-friendly programming. Be sure to catch all the events, visit the Nostr Lounge, and experience the growing decentralized social revolution.
🟣 **Find us. Flock with us. Purple pill someone.**
The key to “other stuff apps” will be more B2B tools and services for black box apps to integrate more closely (and openly) with Freedom Tech.
Let business come to Nostr with their other stuff already in place.
This is not entirely accurate:
> “If you own the website, you can prove that the owner of the website also owns the private key”
The only thing Nip05 (nostr addresses verified by web domains) proves is that “this is address has a pubkey associated with it”.
These pubkey/addresses associations are not signed by a private key and may be changed by the domain owner at any time.
I oscillate every few months between “Routine Habituation” and “Diminishing Returns” … I think there’s room for a healthy plateau somewhere in there.

#introductions #modernhorrorsWait wut?
I thought Nostr wuz normal?
Yes. There is recourse. Read bellow for discussion. Involves better tools for WoT.
When #BTC was at $25k in August and September of last year, you recall how it seemed like it could only go down, not up. right?
Right now, it seems like #Bitcoin can only go up and not down. Yes, the market is just going through its normal motion.
Joining the RCL Vip Newsletter group is highly recommended if you haven't already: https://t.me/rebelcapitalistshow RCL is doing an excellent job of demystifying biases in #Bitcoin and shedding light on contentious issues. don't miss out some interesting performances, Good luck
This is the way…
That’s me. I’m a hater too.
Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate…
