You must understand that bitcoin would change the world into an extremely meritocratic (180 degrees from Socialism) society. In this sense Bitcoin is 100% POLITICAL.

My face when someone says "blockchain technology"

They say ”bitcoin is apolitical”..but no it’s not.

Use a nos2x or alby extension for your keys

Depends on the app of course... Damus on iOS, or Amethyst/Nostros/Plebstr on Android, these are probably safe.

To use other clients you have to enter your nsec to post notes, so the recommendation is to use a browser extension to authenticate your nsec with the new clients? I'm assuming the browser extension takes your nsec from an initial client (i.e.-snort) and authenticates the new client. Am I seeing this correctly?🧐🧐🧐

Why cant verification be done within nostr?

if you're not using Twitter this month...try some different nostr clients. Just remember to keep your nsec (secret key) safe, by using a browser extention (nostore testflight on safari, nos2x or alby on Chrome) or a native app you trust.

I don’t wanna be coy, I just wanna be cool 🥺

This wouldn’t be nearly as much fun if our adversaries in the legacy system were somewhat decent people. But they’re not, and that’s what’s going to make this so badass.

People are always asking what they can do to help the cause, but it’s really simple. Just buy Bitcoin and hold it. That’s the single most important action you can take to suck their monetary energy out of their cesspool of lies and activity.

I’ve started hearing “nostr is just a shiny toy that is distracting devs” more and more, and honestly think that’s just really, really dumb.

I don’t see the difference between saying this now and saying that lightning was distracting devs in 2017.

lightning needs bitcoin and makes it more valuable via demand pull. nostr needs lightning and makes it more valuable via demand pull. ergo (by the transitive property of “needs” and “makes more valuable”) nostr needs bitcoin and makes it more valuable. this is building in layers. this is the antithesis of crypto’s “world computer” bullshit. like, seriously, what more do you want?

not to mention that the more people who come to bitcoin, the more developer hours you end up creating.

I have absolutely zero on-the-ground info on this, but I strongly suspect that for every core contributor who first got involved in 2019 or later, lightning was a huge part of what motivated them, *even if* their actual output since then has had nothing to do with lightning directly.

open to being convinced this is all completely misguided btw. as mentioned earlier I have a lot of time today to argue …
