prediction:

US will be the last nation state to mine btc and they will attempt to catch up to the world by confiscation from their citizens and institutions

When the AGI comes to kill us all soon, what’s going to be our secret code to let esch other know we are human?

Asking for a friend.

Happy Give Zelensky Money Day.

I’m not reporting my zaps.

F ‘em.

Some thoughts on "influencers" on Nostr:

I just thought I'd share a bit about the kind of people who have influenced me here, because I believe something different holds value to this community, and because I want to recognize the people who have shaped my experience - the people who have actually influenced me.

#[0] who convinced me to give this new thing a real try, by reaching out within 5 minutes of me being here.

#[1] for making me realize that my best friends would be found here.

#[2] for showing me that truly positive people still existed, and that they wanted to share that positivity with me.

#[3] for answering a really stupid question when I was new and already trying to run a relay, which convinced me to contribute.

#[4] and #[5] and #[6] for showing me that friendship, generosity, and caring were an international language.

#[7] for being a great guy friend, fellow book fiend, and political meme'ologist who made me feel a lot less alone in the world.

#[8] and #[9] for making me laugh at inappropriate times and inappropriate places, which has prompted me to explain what the hell Nostr is to more people than anything else.

#[10] and #[11] for showing me that people here still cared about their craft more than the number of followers their users had.

#[12] and #[13] for being colleagues who both discuss and educate me. I think deeper because of both of your posts.

#[14] for a single comment that made me feel prouder of myself than I have felt in years.

#[15] for posting on Twitter about Nostr - because I might never have found this wonderful place otherwise.

#[16] #[17] and #[18] for my first hell thread, and some really great encouraging words. Well, I think those were Jesus, but you had to be there.

#[19] and #[20] for thinking I was worthy of entertaining my ideas.

#[21] #[22] and @npub1gvy07gxw6uu8rd57mz72mg4q2x7r5ptpp5gc832dv768e58hqd0q5nyn0t again for hysterical laughter, including me in a group to which I was new, and always making room for me.

There are so many. They didn't do it to "influence" me. But they have and will, more than any influencer on the Internet ever will. These are real people, who do the real things that make our community great. Everyone on here will have their own list, and that's what's great.

So often we get lost in hero worship that we forget the people who actually mean the most to us. Nostr would not be Nostr to me without these people. All the technology, advancements, etc. would lose their value without the real people on the other end of it.

So, thank you. With everything in my heart, thank you to all of you who are a part of my Nostr experience. Thank you to all of you who made this home.

Who are your real influencers? When is the last time you told them how important they are to you?

If you can’t handle disagreement or criticism, you probably need a healthy dose of both.

I'll zappr you in the meantime 😊

Trying to nostr discreetly at the office but #[0] keeps blowing up my phone 😅⚡⚡⚡

It's definitely still working! Lol.

Got me on 3 posts in a row.

Recorded an episode of TFTC with Michael Koss and Dr. Joel Wallskog from htttps://React19.org this morning that will be out tomorrow.

I came away from the conversation feeling really optimistic. Despite the fact that governments are growing increasingly tyrannical there is a large and growing group of individuals who are gravitating toward tools like bitcoin, Nostr and other open source protocols as well as freedom movements like React19 (pushing for bodily autonomy and the end to vaccine mandates) and these disparate movements are beginning to realize each other’s value and shared goal of freedom in the digital age.

Don’t let the threat of impending dystopia get you down. The freedom movement is gaining momentum whether people realize it or not. Once everyone working on this shared mission in their different niches has the “ah-ha” moment that they’re all more powerful together than working separately we will see some powerful changes.

We’re going to win.

⚡️ Zap time ⚡️

Write your thoughts about :

How bitcoin is better than existing Fiat payments? 👀 have you ever used bitcoin for any goods payments?

Will try to zap few sats all valid comments in this thread ⚡️

Expecting interesting stories to read and good way to educate people about #bitcoin on nostr ✅💯

#zap #zapathon #[3]​ #[4]

Absolutely. It's just that embeds are not too native and not visible to all users. RSS-bridge solutions bring the tweets to notes. It's not ideal either.

But as long as things are discussed 💫
