The state is literally a monopoly that puts a gun on your head if you don't agree with them. This conserves bad ideas and creates a massive barrier for good ideas.

Are you surprised that healthcare, banking, airlines and other state monopolised industries are such a mess?

Voting in a new head of this monopoly isn't going to solve anything. The monopoly has to be abolished so that good ideas get a chance and bad ideas get destroyed.

As an individual you can't change the outcome. What you CAN do is doing everything to not be part of the madness that has the potential to literally cause humanity to fail.

-Pay as least as possible taxes (and zero in warmongering countries)

-Don't use government currencies if possible

-Don't vote for politicians

-Don't watch mainstream media

-Try to convince others to do the same

Believe me: Being able to say 'these clowns are not my politicians, I didn't pay them and I didn't vote for them' feels so f*cking good that I wouldn't even be bothered if they blow up the entire world because I know I am not part of the madness that failed humanity.

If you do the right thing, the outcome doesn't matter.

Politics is a zero sum game of fighting over what others produced > Fiat enabled the political class to drain the productive class by 8% per year > The political class outgrew the productive class > There are now more people making dumb rules without a feedback loop while fighting over what others produced instead of producing real stuff.

This is the TLDR of where clown world came from 🤔 🤔 🤔

Conclusion: Don't be a clown, don't do politics

#Bitcoin fixes this!

GM,

I f*cking love #zaps. Sometimes I just realise how amazing it is to send a few cent to anywhere in the world, instantly and multiple times per day.

#Nostr and #Bitcoin are a perfect match!

Uncomfortable Nostr Reality check:

I've tried to Nostr-pill all my YouTube friends (some of them have incredible amounts of subs), but none of them care about the censorship resistance or decentralization. Even though they know Nostr exists, they have no incentive yet to come here. Their audience would follow them anywhere, but they need the tools to create community communications.

It's a sad reality, but it all comes down to usability, UX, and ultimately the easiness of paying and signing up for the community. None of these can afford to have a sign-up problem or issues with someone being interested in joining the community/their platform. It needs to work flawlessly and feel and look professional. Some of them charge $3-5k a year just to get access to this closed space, and people are willing to pay for this.

Another big pain point is community management. All of these YouTubers create these platforms to help their audience have a safe place to communicate with each other and build their own tribe.

Nostr is capable of facilitating all of this - we're just not there yet. We need to somehow invest so much more into UX and design.

All of this will come when the time is due. So, knowing that all of this is possible and that ultimately, Nostr will be powering most of these via the social graph, is what makes me extremely bullish. But also, let's not get ahead of ourselves and expect them to come already.

The UX and features are not there yet for these people. I am more than happy to help anybody trying to make this a reality. I want nothing more than having these people join Nostr. But I also totally understand their pain points. So, if you're a dev or a company working on this, please feel free to reach out - I can tell you all the issues they told me. Or just tell me how to best do this; maybe I can jump on a podcast so the issues are open-sourced for the whole community to hear.

I don't know whether it's really a problem. It's like saying in 2013 about #Bitcoin that all the big financial people aren't interested. You can't expect mainstream to be interested in the innovator phase.

We are extremely early. #Nostr will have its network effect on the protocol layer. The incentives will get stronger while the network grows and the network will grow harder while the incentives get stronger.

Relax and enjoy the bootstrapping phase.

OMG, why do people still worship these clowns?

Statism is a mental disease

We are clearly in a 4th turning, and global chaos is one of the symptoms. Many people expect it to last until 2030, but is it possible that we are almost there?

What do you think nostr:npub1jdwujjpaxmeyg44fz5xa87yhtrnvg8lzqnv9hprk5sdkx6h58gjqwtujzl?

Is the current 4th turning going to cause pain and chaos for the rest of this decennium, or are we almost trough already?

GM, this one woke me up some years ago. (Thank you Larken Rose)

What woke you up? Let me know!

Hey nostr:npub1048qg5p6kfnpth2l98kq3dffg097tutm4npsz2exygx25ge2k9xqf5x3nf, I am about to publish my first article, but I see I can only insert imagines with a link. Do you have a recommendation where to host the imagines in the #Nostr ecosystem? I don't mind to spend some sats.

Maybe a good idea to add this info to the FAQ, can't find it there

nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy, nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev How are you doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Didn't get any answer on this one. #asknostr anyone?

GM, another great day!

Stay away from politics and shitcoins, focus on #Nostr and #Bitcoin. Be grateful that we are living renaissance 2.0, brought to you by the Information Age (printing press 2.0)
