nostr is similar to bitcoin in that we do not need to convince people to use it

they will realize they need a censorship resistant communication protocol eventually

just need to have the tools and education ready for them when they do

Purchased a 2nd hand Lenovo ThinkCentre m910q Tiny (4c/3.1ghz, 8gb ram, 256gb NVMe) for a total of $160, dedicated to Umbrel Nostr private backup Relay. Deployed on Debian without any issue, no need to install or sync ₿itcoin Core ⚡

External traffic routed over VPN, and use split-tunneling / IP table exclusions in local network firewall and clients to communicate with the local Nostr backup relay, to avoid doxing IP's

Used Nostros (Android) app to push data to the personal relay, and it seem to have gotten most. Even got back 100+ missing follows in Amethyst 💜

1517 - Martin Luther utilized the novel printing-press to end the Catholic Church's dark tyrannic censorship of written knowledge, pull the world out of the dark ages, and in to the Renaissance of human creativity and prosperity. The truth and knowledge was introduced to the people trough the power of the printing-press and the PROTESTANT REFORMATION

2008 - Satoshi published his discovery of absolute mathematical digital scarcity, with the decentralized censorship resistant ₿itcoin protocol - p2p digital cash - whitepaper. Bitcoin/LN/++ ensured freedom-of-transaction for humankind and became the global digital base-monetary-layer that set in motion the unstoppable MONETARY REFORMATION

2022 - #[0] released the Nostr protocol, to send notes and other stuff over decentralized relays, and by doing so, ensured freedom-to-communicate without bigtech-algos tyrannic manipulation and censorship. It slowly, then rapidly gained thousands of freedom loving early adopters and developers, to mention a few; #[1] #[2] #[3] #[4] #[5] #[6] #[7] and YOU - all helped to obsolete centralized social media, and kickstart the digital free-speech-protocol that enabled the INFORMATION REFORMATION

Forged by human ingenuity trough the FOSS community ethos, interconnected by the freedom of- knowledge, transaction and communication, collectively form the human-freedom-trinity, that will secure immutable sovereignty and prosperity for all of human kind 🫂

If you are reading this, ANON. YOU are the peaceful monetary information reformation of truth and love. I thank YOU 💜 And salute YOU ✊

Thanks to (if you are not mentioned im sorry, I love you) anyone that; ever developed FOSS protocols and code (especially TCP/IP, HTTP, JavaScript, Linux/GNU, Bitcoin etc)🙏, run Relays or Bitcoin/LN nodes, the greeters, the donors, content creators, HW producers, Bitcoin-Maxis, meme artists, podcasters and all users: #[8] #[9] #[10] #[11] #[12] #[13] #[14] #[15] #[16] #[17] #[18] #[19] #[20] #[21] – and finally, thanks to the anon that made the original two “31. Oct” tiles. Legend!

Credit to #[0] for this awesome meme. It’ss too good. The jack figure on the shelf is brilliant. 😂

Thanks for using my #nostr icon attempt. Humbled. 💜

Willi tip you, need to add more sats to my wallet first. ⚡️

i am obsessed with bitcoin

Lmfao. If I had a LinkedIn I’d add “Got 100 likes on Nostr on a single note” to my profile there.

Wow

Damn. I’m sorry and I thank you for the future you’re helping to build.

Proud parent moment. My son wrote this article for a school assignment. 🧡 (Any Zaps earned on this post will be sent to his Muun wallet.)

What is Bitcoin?

There are only 21 million bitcoins. Currently, the price of each coin is worth 23K, but the real price is infinite.

Bitcoin is a digital currency, which means that it exists only in digital form. It was created in 2009 by an anonymous person under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is not backed by any government or central bank, and its value depends entirely on people’s belief that it has value.

Bitcoin works on a blockchain, which is a public ledger of all transactions that have ever taken place. The blockchain is distributed across many computers so no single party can control or manipulate the system. Each transaction must be verified and approved by the network before it can be added to the ledger.

Bitcoin is a digital currency, which means that it uses no physical money to be transferred. Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning that there is no central authority or bank that controls the money. Instead, all transactions are made through a peer-to-peer network of computers.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that can be used to buy goods and services or held as an investment.

What is bitcoin mining

Bitcoin mining is the process by which new bitcoins are created. Mining requires special computer hardware and software as well as knowledge of technical specifications. Miners compete with each other to solve a puzzle which is 67 digits long in order to verify transactions and earn bitcoins for their efforts. This process also creates new competition among miners.

Mining started out as a way for early adopters to get Bitcoins at no cost but has since evolved into a business with specialized hardware and large-scale operations that consumes lots of energy.

Why is bitcoin better than banks?

The idea behind bitcoin is that it should have no centralized authority like a bank or government controlling its creation or its value. This decentralized nature makes bitcoin appealing to some people who don’t trust banks, governments, etc.

Bitcoin is better than banks because banks can print and make their own money out of thin air. This makes their currency worth less. Bitcoin has a fixed amount and will only get more value over time because it is digitally scarce.

Bitcoin is good for the world because it allows people to save that were never able to save before.

I love how as bitcoiners we are not only taking on the entire financial establishment with decentralised p2p scarce e-cash but now taking on the Silicon Valley by proactively using #nostr.

We are on a mission to finish what the #cyperpunks started.

💜🧡

Keep moving peeps to #nostr until it’s all we use and no need to return to FiatTwitterDogeApp

Elon could of easily chose #bitcoin I mean he still holds 10k on Tesla balance sheet plus his own and Space X

For now… he may sell it all

He may also have a Short open on Bitcoin

Over there is confusing as to where Twitter and Bitcoin stand

Come to #NOSTR and it’s 100% Bitcoin…. This is where I want my Bitcoin progress to be, right here with you psychos 🍊🍊🍊👽🫶🫶🫶🫶

Right WTF
