I trust volume ;) but don't focus on volume.

I used Youtube and Spotify podcast but would like some nostr solution

What platform are you using for podcast? Any good on Nostr universe?

I’ve started reading the book—thanks for the heads-up!

Do you have any other recommendations on books about learning? Always looking to expand my knowledge.

Trading becomes easier—not because the market changes, but because your mindset evolves. Thinking in probabilities, focusing on the long term, and prioritizing consistency will transform how you approach the market. Your mindset isn't just a tool; it's your greatest trading asset

Well owning my data is why I like Nostr and I will give a try.

This will be my main social media platform and other platforms will be slaves

Good morning #Nostr

When I first heard about the DOGE project, I was ready to throw my laptop out the window. The [initial proposal](https://archive.is/nFNp4) read like a Silicon Valley libertarian fever dream - taking Musk's chaotic "move fast and break democracy" Twitter approach and unleashing it on federal agencies. Great, I thought, just what we need: more tech bros thinking they can "optimize" public institutions into oblivion.

But here's the weird thing - when you actually dig into [what DOGE has morphed into](https://www.nextgov.com/people/2025/01/us-digital-service-employees-are-being-re-interviewed-under-doge-transition/402423/), it's basically just USDS with a meme-worthy rebrand. For those not deep in the civic tech weeds, USDS was Obama's attempt to drag government technology out of the 1990s, inspired by the UK's actually-functional GDS program. And let's be real - government tech procurement is an absolute dumpster fire right now. We're talking billions wasted on projects that would make a CS101 student cringe, while the average American has to navigate websites that look like they were designed on GeoCities.

The deeply ironic thing is that Musk - for all his cosplaying as a technocratic messiah following in his grandfather's footsteps of dreaming up an antidemocratic technocratic state - actually has some relevant experience here. SpaceX did figure out how to work with government contracts without producing $500 million paperweights, and Tesla somehow gamed clean vehicle incentives into birthing the first new major car company since we invented radio.

Look, I'm the first to roll my eyes at Musk's wannabe-fascist posting sprees and his perpetual "I'm the main character of capitalism" energy. But speaking as someone who's banged their head against the wall of government technology modernization for years - if he actually focuses on the tech and keeps his brainrot political takes to himself, maybe DOGE could do some good?

Even Jen Pahlka, who basically wrote the book on government digital services, [is cautiously optimistic](https://fedscoop.com/trump-wants-a-doge-an-obama-era-tech-official-has-some-tips/). The services Americans get from their government are objectively terrible, and the procurement system is trapped in an infinite loop of failure. Maybe - and I can't believe I'm typing this - Musk's particular flavor of disruptive tech deployment could help?

Just... please, for the love of all things agile, let's keep him focused on the actual technology and far away from any more attempts to recreate his grandfather's dreams of a technocratic dystopia. We've got enough of those already.

From a European/ Swedish, perspective, Musk’s approach appears unusual. I understand that he halted payments on Twitter to track the flow of funds. However, one might question whether this strategy would be effective if applied at a state or national level. Let's see in coming months

It is a big risk. However, it is not one that is impossible to mitigate with tools that already exist, for the most part.

I am not aware of any videos discussing this subject in particular, and Nostr doesn't really have a "dev team" because there is no central organization overseeing the project. There's just a bunch of independent developers building stuff on a permissionless protocol.

Now... How to protect your nsec:

On a web browser, you can get a signer extension, such as Nos2x or Alby. I think there is another one released recently that starts with a G, but I haven't had a chance to look into it.

In any case, these signer extensions will store your nsec and allow you to log into any Nostr web apps that support sign-in using an extension. Thankfully, the vast majority of Nostr web apps do. Avoid the ones that don't.

On Android there is a signer application called Amber that allows logging into native Android applications, and any web app that allows for "bunker" login. Amber holds your private key, and does not give it to any of the applications you log into with it.

On iOS there is not anything similar yet, but nostr:nprofile1q9z8wumn8ghj7erzx3jkvmmzw4eny6tvw368wdt8da4kxamrdvek76mrwg6rwdngw94k67t3v36k77tev3kx7vn2xa5kjem9dp4hjepwd3hkxctvqy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqpqyaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgsf6xvrd is working on one.

There is also a web app called nsec.app that can store your nsec and sign you into any app that supports "bunker" login.

As you can see, it is an issue that has been thought through, and there are many solutions for already. Not all nostr apps support those solutions, and there are still more ideas yet to be built.

Thank you for your reply.

Well I use nsec.app but still having my nsec ( even crypted ) on nsec.app server makes not fully safe.

As a lot of clever people are working on Nostr I'm sure it will be even better in the future.

I see a big risk sharing my nsec to sites or apps. Is there any videos or text explaining how the dev team of nostr thinkg about that and how protect yourself : #asknostr
