Finally, after 11+ years of #FreeRoss, #ROSSisFree ✨🏴‍☠️ Storyteller researching the intersections of #Nostr #bitcoin and other open systems. it isn’t about #Bitcoin, it’s about enabling individuals in a new way, for which Bitcoin is a tool⚡️. #Noderunner, #Hivetalk contributor Create a lot of my own #memes 🙈 Been spending a lot of time building @theBridge I don’t answer to DMs of people i don’t know.

what i mean is, zaps had always worked with me before.

are there any bridges built between game engines like unreal or unity to incorporate ⚡️zap funcionality through nostr or lightning?

Great job team! 💥💜🤘

Yeah, at least build bridges to nostr usability for those people who live in discord already (and are used to learning about other communities there)

I wonder so much about the usecases we can’t even imagine yet ✨

Excerpt:

“Giorgio had taken it a bit too far with the video that made him get banned. He hadn’t expected the domino effect that would follow.

First his Goobook account was blocked and he lost access to his email contacts, social media accounts, his music and streaming services. But worst of all he lost access to his revenue streams. Most of his income was derived from the public persona he had created online and now he couldn’t access any of his services and he would lose all his advertising money and all the following he had gathered in the past decade.

If that wasn’t enough of a headache, Giorgio received a notification from his bank letting him know his account would be closed in the next 14 days given the liability of keeping him as a client after he had publicly antagonized the banking system at large and specifically their latest product launched alongside tech giant GooBook: Bank4All.

But Giorgio didn’t really understand the magnitude of what he had gotten himself into until he received the most terrifying letter he had every received. It came delivered by a state officer: he was being sued by the state under the latest revisions of the Treason Act.

It was clear now, they were going to make an example out of him.

Sam had warned him this could happen, but he just hadn’t been willing to let it go: The public needed to know. They would finally CARE enough to ACT.

Now all the accurate reporting he had spent years gathering had been deleted from any inch of the web under Goobook’s endless domain. And any information regarding his upcoming “temporary arrest” would be shadowbanned in all media except for censorship resistant ones like Nostr, the only place Giorgio’s reporting remained immutable for the world to read, watch or listen.

So he decided he had 14 days to make A LOT OF NOISE.”

My Nostr predictions for 2024

Today marks one year since I joined Nostr. It’s been a crazy year, but I have a feeling that 2024 is going to be much crazier. Here are some predictions:

1. Nostr social media clients will become insanely good. By the end of the year we will surpass the legacy social media clients in terms of UX and features, making them look like relics of the past.

2. More lightning wallets will implement Nostr integration. By the end of the year Nostr will become a de facto standard public lightning directory.

3. The bitcoin bull run will bring more users to Nostr, adding more gravity to the network.

4. At some point, a massive new cohort of users will join Nostr. We won’t be ready for them. Relays and other services (indexers, media hosting, etc.) will struggle to support them. After some hiccups, the Nostr ecosystem will adjust.

5. With the increased network activity, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.

6. Long form notes will become much bigger on Nostr.

7. At least one “other stuff” content type will take off in a meaningful way.

8. Nostr’s censorship resistance capabilities will get tested in a major public episode.

9. The AI community will get much more interested in Nostr. They will be attracted by the idea that open source language models, combined with Nostr’s open social graph and publicly accessible data - could actually democratize AI.

10. By the end of the year everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.

11. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will accuse me of not being bullish enough.

Anyhow, GM ☀️ and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻

⚡️Merry Christmas nostriches⚡️

May 2024 bring you all prosperity and may freedom tech continue to go up

✨🎄🚀
