I’m really liking the distinct Nostr experience vs the Twitter experience. Occasionally I cross-post something on both, but my decision in recent weeks to treat them differently has been very rewarding.

Years ago, I used to post on certain forums. But as someone with a big Twitter following now, I am more self-conscious of what I post there these past few years. It’s like, I feel quite a responsibility before I send something out to 600k followers, rather than being able to treat it rather carefree like I would treat a forum in the old days. Of course, once in a while I get provoked by something or I share something random and funny for no reason, but not usually.

Since the community on Nostr is still smallish, it kind of rekindles that more carefree feeling of just posting, talking. And I post less about economics, which is my main Twitter silo.

And because I want open protocols like Nostr to succeed, I deliberately want to be here, posting. So it is a win-win; I try to add value but also it scratches an itch for me that hasn’t been scratched in a while.

Maybe if/when Nostr becomes large, it will recreate that sense of filtering that I have on Twitter. But I would still consider that a success, because it means Nostr succeeded and I at least got to experience a smaller social environment for another period of time.

Why are we tanking? #bitcoin

Socialism sounds good because it is posited as a system where people share more.

But what socialism actually is, is Peter forcing Paul at the barrel of a gun to share according to how Peter thinks he should.

You cannot have “forced sharing,” it’s a direct contradiction. The only reason sharing is good is because it’s a choice.

The worst parts of us always seem to hide behind niceties.

Wait this is on fucking Wikipedia? nostr:note1660u97tfajs0xxeae5y893x039ka7sha0utxak5h79xllm482k9qwqsmne

If you click on your profile picture in Damus, then settings, then zaps, you should see an option to "select default wallet"

Hopefully that fixes it.

Another day seeing the business news stations that spend time with politics talking about nothing but indictments. Do they bring up Biden's Crime Family developments? Of course, for 10 seconds, and then back to their fake news partner's latest fake news.

Which Nostr client are you using?

As long as society continues to grow and advance, and #Bitcoin continues to work, it will *always* go up in value.

It’s axiomatic. It’s simply the fundamental nature of sound money. nostr:note15v366zkrnd4438a0nnp8hysxcf4pxegvld0c3tg7dsmgevju4cksl2xvgd

Why is the government still spending taxpayer dollars, wasting energy, and killing trees to print and mail physical postcards to tell people to get the Covid jab??

Just boarded an eleven hour flight to Cairo. Going to spend the whole time doing a final proof-read of Broken Money to find the straggling typos that me and my editor missed, so my formatter can fix them in the final manuscript.

It’s funny- no matter how many rounds of editing you do on a book, there are always still some there.

Legal counterfeiting.. What a racket.. I think every American should stop paying their taxes. Why should we? If they can just print up what they need, why are we paying a penny in taxation? Wouldn't it be funny to hear Trump say something about the counterfeiting and the idea of Americans not paying their taxes?? Just a comment off the cuff would light such a fire out there..

Lmao at this headline.

Milei is crushing it in Argentina’s primaries. I’ve never in my life seen a strong libertarian candidate get results like this.

How much would the value of the dollar crash if America were to print 25 trillion dollars in order to pay off all its external debts? Asking for a well respected economist.

Why Nostr?

You don’t want a large tech companies, such as Meta or X, to hold and be in charge of all your data.

You want to use social media to communicate with people online in an ad-free, algorithm-free environment — like you used to years ago. Just humans being humans without software getting in the way.

You hate platform lock-in. You can ditch any Nostr client and join another without losing all your friends and content. When you switch Nostr clients, your entire social graph comes with you.
