Although #BrokenMoney is about money and finance, I dedicated a full chapter to the topic of privacy.
It covers government financial surveillance, surveillance capitalism, the frequency of data breaches, Snowden, Pegasus, Chinese export of surveillance tech to dictators around the world, etc.
Surrounding chapters are about CBDCs, encryption, and the intersection of financial technology and human rights so it all kind of flows together.
I figure that most people won’t read a book about privacy but if I can stick some privacy-focused content into a money book that will indeed reach a wide audience, it’ll educate a lot of people on the topic that weren’t otherwise looking for it specifically.

Loving it so far, Lyn!

How are we feeling about this nugget honestly? I don’t know enough to know exactly how much trust this involves as a user.
Agree, good sir.

Boom. My new book, Broken Money, is now available on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG83QBJ6
I will formally announce it later today, so I guess this is the initial Nostr exclusive. It’s not even searchable on Amazon yet since it is still being incorporated into their wider database. But if you have that link, it is ready for purchase.
The ebook, audiobook, and other print distribution partners will be rolled out over time.
Thank you everyone for your support! This has been a wonderful project to work on, and it will hopefully educate more people about the current problems in the global monetary system and the solutions that Bitcoin has to offer people around the world.
Looking forward to finishing it off, Lyn. Thank you for writing this book. 👊🏽🔥⚡🙏🏼

Nodes and notes, ftw
App (Primal) didn’t show that the reply went through, and I likely clicked 3 times. :)
I wouldn't think too deeply about it. If you like the vibe, use it. :)

I think taking a look around, many folks still have the laser eyes, but culturally, it's less associated with the original theme, and moreso just a general vibe

During the last bull run of Bitcoin's price, there was a trend of enthusiasts (self included - and still laser-eyed on X) that adopted adding laser eyes to our profile pics. The common refrains were "laser eyes until $100k BTC" or "BTC to $100k".
Yeah, it looks like we added nostr:npub1ezw0xm0w52rd4yfdg9zlw9qvwdy46alzelklkefptrd203m37tuq4djmeg to the "can't trend" list in error. Apologies for that sir, we just fixed it! ❤️🩹
As for adult content creators, I agree with your point. We are planning to implement a capability to determine whether content is NSFW on a per-note basis. Once that is ready, we can relax the the account-wide restriction.

Y'all building Nostr clients have crossed the point from all competing to add each new feature one client comes up with, to beginning to separate based upon sets of principles/features you believe will compete in the marketplace. We knew this would come, and I think is largely a good thing.
Will be fascinating to watch the debate unfold on whether the Nostr protocol itself should have the certain values/principles that devs build to, or whether values should play out at the client/relay level.
I for one am encouraged we have an ecosystem in which we can debate this.
