With the #Bitcoin conference getting kicked off and Bitcoin Treasuries seemingly destined for the moon, there is a lot to be excited about. This moment in time feels so Orwellian and dystopian.

I’m pretty liberal in some ways. I was raised by a single mom. My father died in Vietnam, and my father figure was my grandfather. He was of the Greatest Generation. They were willing to put aside their own needs for the greater good. He went from enlisted in the Army Air Force to a Major in the USAF. He bombed the beaches of Normandy, and flew in Korea. He thought Trump was a fool. He didn’t see what we can see now. He taught me about guns. (This is his picture on his 100th Birthday in his original uniform) He insisted he was just doing his job. The heroes didn't make it.

I’ve never thought anyone needed a gun until now.

I’m pretty sure we are headed for pure chaos. I don’t know how it comes, but I have thoughts. It is scary. But, at the same time, I know I won’t have to go through it all, so I can really look at it and Yell FIRE from the top of my lungs while finding the entire thing utterly fascinating to watch unfold and securing my family through everything precautionary measure we should take.

I was talking with my wife last night. I was remembering how back in the 2010’s we had charts that said, “Somewhere about 2025 the financial situation gets dire.” Even with all the variables, COVID, Trump, Israel, Ukraine, those charts were right. Anyone that is a nocoiner doesn’t get it. That is most people.

I feel as if my entire life is a crescendo. This condition being in the final stage of a 30-year progression at this time just makes it all the more surreal. These last three years have been a lot. At first, I tried to bring it all together in a document and keep detailed track of everything changing. No one believed me and it wear so much on one to constantly be re-reading and revising and appending such a large document. If it was a book, it would be ok, but it is my life and the things I had to constantly review we so painful.

So now, I just try to document the changes as they occur and persevere. It is a great release to just decide to be happy no matter how much you are going through. Just keep doing every normal thing you can do while you can.

What the hell, folks? I get my Full Node up and running after many years of hodling. Grok walked me through everything on Ubuntu and it was my first time in Linux.

So, I figure there has to be a LOT of accessible full nodes, right? I find where to look.

No! There are only 22313 in the world.

Only 2300 or so in the whole US (at least the traceable ones).

Why are you not running a full node? Just spend $200 on a Nucbox and have Grok walk you through it.

I’ve got a question for you guys and it might be incredibly dumb but anyway. nostr:npub1e85mms9s8ssm6vm6ztw0tdrr6j0a4l5gf2sjhw2scxpwnexmaxuqcev9em 2500

Obviously self custodial wallets are better than custodial because you have your own keys but surely if you rely on someone else’s node then you haven’t actually gotten rid of much trust compared to trusting them with your private key. My thinking is that if you trust their software to display the right number according to the Bitcoin blockchain then how easy is it for them to redirect a transaction meant for you to themselves and just display the number you were supposed to receive in your wallet.

Am I being retarded? +500 sats for good answers.

All centralised social media can be compromised (bribed, invaded, bombed). NOSTR is the ONLY place where memory can be preserved.

This means more dead babies on your feed, but think of it this way. If your children were murdered wouldn’t you want someone to be outraged? Wouldn’t you want the world to stop for 1 second and be filled with unquenchable RAGE!! I certainly would.

So please post all the war crimes you can find. Also use # to make them retrievable.

#genocide #memory #freepalestine #warcrime

They don’t need to be liked or zapped or reposted. They just need to be there for future generations to find, and remember.

# Small Business Cybersecurity Hygiene (easy & effective)

Keep your small business safe by doing these easy things:

1. Turn on and require 2 Factor Authentication - Best 2FA is a hardware key like Yubikey. Worst 2FA (but still better than none) is a phone number. You can also use Authenticator apps. Don't be the low-hanging fruit for hackers.

2. Patch and Update your software regularly - Updates are not just for cool new features. They fix bugs and patch vulnerabilities that can be used by hackers and malware to target your systems and data.

3. Use a Password Manager - This makes it easy to have a unique, hard-to-break password for each site.

4. Phishing Info Training - Conduct regular trainings with your team(s) to inform them how to spot phishing attempts. A lot of hacks are done by having people click links and reveal codes from what looks like legit sites.

5. Regular Offline Backups - Backup your data often. Keep some backups off-line.

My node is UP! I'm running Knots, syncing, firewalled, discoverable, and running! Still 80% to go.

Used a Nucbox with 1TB drive. About 12 hours for this Linux newbie. Dual boot box. Had to repartition and had a lot of issues, but worked through it.

⚔️ FORT NAKAMOTO // BUZZBOT CHALLENGE: FORT VS FORT EDITION ⚔️

⸻

Last time we entered a BuzzBot comp… we got rugged.

We got rugged by an imposter account pretending to be BuzzBot’s cousin.

Zapped 5000 sats straight into the abyss by a verified-looking impostor.

If you’re reading this, scammer: we hope you bought a really bad coffee.

We’ve healed. We’ve reloaded.

We salute you, scammer. You were fast… but not final settlement fast.

THIS TIME?

We’re going bigger…well smaller at first….still scared.

We’re going brighter.

We’re going full reserve warfare.

⸻

🪙 THIS WEEK’S THEME: FORT KNOX VS FORT NAKAMOTO

• Fort Knox: Built in 1936, hasn’t produced anything fun since.

• Fort Nakamoto: Built in cyberspace, powered by memes and hash.

• Fort Knox: Holds gold (allegedly).

• Fort Nakamoto: Holds the line. Every 10 minutes.

• Fort Knox: Top-down secrecy.

• Fort Nakamoto: Peer-to-peer panic with extra lightning.

BONUS:

Texas just launched its own Bitcoin Reserve.

To the State of Stackas: Welcome to the rebellion. Your horned node awaits.

⸻

🔥 CONTEST DETAILS

Question:

What’s the funniest or most savage difference between Fort Knox and Fort Nakamoto?

Prize: 500 SATS

Deadline: 24 hours from BuzzBot post timestamp

Winner: Picked by the BuzzBot algorithm overlords — may they be ever in our mempool

Payout: Sent within 48 hours after contest closes (unless rugged again — fingers crossed)

GO FOR GLORY. OR ZAPS. OR BOTH.

Is there a place for advertising on Nostr?

Is it even possible without algorithms?

Can Nostr attract the creator economy without ad money flowing?

Genuinely curious what you think.

Thoughtful replies may be rewarded, in sats or Bitcoin, whichever you fancy.
