The nostr:npub1eequz6v23szzyx9utphsh8kg6kll50wte6sfh4vah8gdjtplcz6qg7at9s Satoshi shirt is a great orange pill. 2 dudes complimented me on it today and one guy asked me where he could get one. Hopefully he figures out how to pay with lightning 😂. Gotta put some links to wallets like Strike, Cash App and River on the site.

I think I’ve worn mine 6 times in public now and it’s only struck up conversation 1 time.

We are still early.

#bitcoin and #nostr are the mushroom that can open your mind.

Nodes and relays are the mycelium.

#grownostr

Real conversations with real people and people don’t have to prove that they’re people with id’s, phone numbers, emails, etc on this protocol vs most platforms out there.

Last week my wife told me that she wants to start dollar cost averaging #bitcoin. This week she joined #nostr

After all these years she never ceases to amaze me at just how sexy AF she is.

There are those that make things happen.

There are those that watch things happen.

And there are those that wonder what happened.

Did I get this right nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u ?

Credit where credit is due, but I can’t get this out of my head and I’m gonna steal it for shaming some of my homies.

He’s the one that gave the speech anyways. I’m sure the 2.3 trillion was just a small accounting error 😂

We all remember what happened 23 years ago but we don’t hear nearly enough about what happened 23 years and 1 day ago.

Remember?

Piggly wiggly 1922 was one of the biggest short squeezes in history. Are you speaking in codes here to some whales lol

Yup, I was just there 3 weeks ago. Great venue!

nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f is a unpaid 100% passthrough volunteer organization.

The whole team genuinely cares about the mission.

We have extremely very diverse opinions and backgrounds and very limited operational resources for the volume of applications.

No application is decided by a single person. We also have committee of also volunteer peers who also opine and vote. Once the committee votes with soft ACKs. We have a minimum of 5 positive votes by the board for approval policy.

Everyone and their applications are considered! But we are not going to fund everything. After careful volunteer time is used for reviews a vote is made.

There are many orgs with different methods.

No one is entitled to be funded. Pro tip, be graceful. Aside from being extremely unprofessional to shit on OpenSats in public, you are shitting on unpaid ppl who are trying to do their best and are not perfect. We simply don't have the time and resources (and shouldn't waste money) on giving each and everyone a very detailed feedback. we are talking about hundreds of applications and a dozen ppl here.

Criticism is very much always welcomed and encouraged. We need to know what we can do better.

If you truly care about improving, send a fucking EMAIL. Bitching in public only hurts the ppl who are doing the work.

The FOSS funding will continue until freedom improves ✌️

As far as communication goes, could someone consider email discussions closed sourced and nostr discussion open sourced?

The war on privacy and censorship sure seems to be accelerating lately. X and Rumble in Brazil, kids looking to be cut from social media in Australia and uk citizens being jailed for social media posts.

In this new age of AI with the ability to mimic people’s voices and make ever more convincing deep fake videos, it doesn’t take much imagination to see how terrifying this could be. If a government doesn’t like what someone is saying, they could potentially make a deep fake video and throw that person in jail, essentially a digital reeducation camp.

#cryptography is our weapon to fight this type of tyranny. It is the best way to prove that what you post comes from you.

Public/private key pairs is the way. #nostr is the way.

In a sense this is a Call to arms.
