Everyone needs a solution to a problem
For the friends you mention, they just haven’t clicked yet
When their X profile is cancelled (again), or IG updates their terms of services to being a pronoun, or the politician they like gets shadow banned, etc etc etc, then maybe they’ll do a u-turn
I get more and more like this
“I’ll tell you what I do, why it’s worked for me, and why I think it’s a great plan for the future. By all means copy it”
Is generally the process now
It used to be a lot more “you need to wake up” which I had little success with
Maritime law. Common law
Great rabbit holes to start investigating
I have a friend with a thriving content-lead digital business
He said once “my biggest fear is YT cancelling me”
They have a 500k subscriber channel they use everyday
Yet they’re still not on Nostr…
Its like people know that they’ve build kingdoms on quicksand, but the incentive requires one to ignore that fact
It means they self-censor in order to stay in their lane
1 - this is a house of cards that surely is just a matter of time before a meltdown
2 - it really makes one consider the power of these platforms to morph information to their liking. The bigger the user (think YT channel size), the larger they have an incentive not to be banned...
Remember: freedom of speech is not freedom of reach
So should you say something that is not allowed by the thought police, your content gets buried
Nostr fixes this
Reminds me of home… I was born and grew up in Dorset. Beautiful part of the world
Rains a LOT…
Being able to curate your experience is the key
I like it as:
A - you have far more control
B - it requires proof-of-work to get the outcome you want
It will be built. Only a matter of time I am sure
In what sense?
If you had something to sell that I wanted, I could zap you whenever I want eg
Ie the plumbing is in place for trade which cannot be stopped
Hey now… nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 that’s a pretty intense take. We’re building a system which is going to face much more direct and underhanded attacks. Having friendly red teaming of Nostr right now, is good. Sure, it was frustrating, and it could have been better if it was in the open, but future adversaries aren’t going to do that.
Seems reasonable
As a non-technical person, this thread is a classic
An anon sitting around spamming to prove a point, comes out with another anon account, to admit they were behind the attacks

Nothing quite like a surge in the Bitcoin price to make one feel great
I really love the idea of Nostr as a digital town square that is an actual free market
- trade
- speech
- religion
Etc
It’s almost a truly public good, in that its owned by no-one, but available to everyone
Indeed. Absolutely not saying there won’t be a market for it! 1% pls. Compounding. Asset management industry worked very hard to make that the norm and not going to give up easily.
It’s where I really like the lens of monetary premium. For so long I didn’t understand that money could be anything, a bond, a house, whatever
Just most things aren’t a good money. So all these “assets under management” are going to slowly erode in value vs btc
But until the owners of those assets wise up and tell their managers to re-allocate, then the show will go on
1 - unkown (literally no-one has ever been there... alternate reality type stuff)
2 - refer to 1

A technical analyst I have huge respect for sent me his latest thoughts today. Some highlights:
- I understand this has been long enduring phase of consolidation, but this is just part of the process. The markets can remain irrational, longer than most can stay solvent
- I am still expecting a peak in between March through to October 2025. My peak price range is between 75kUSD and 90kUSD, if it goes above that then I will happily accept being incorrect
- Based on the psychology profile of the investor, we are just about to exit the CALM phase. We are 41 WEEKS AWAY from the THRILL phase (June '25). plenty of time to get a nice run up, as we enter the OPTIMISM phase, after a 6 month lull.
- Bitcoin generally has a top 70-90 weeks POST Halving. We hare still 48 WEEKS AWAY from the beginning of that range
- From cycle ₿ottom to ₿ottom generally take 48 months (Hence the 4 year cycle reference). With the cycle tops taking place around month 35, when measured from the previous bottom. We are at week 23. September 2025 represents Month 35.
- As they say "A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else".
Remember though: he is only trying his best to predict, which as we all know is impossible, so I use this as just a part of a suite of tools to figure out what is going on out there
Felt this as well today! A weekend of looking after 3 kids for the first time. A lot to cover... Monday and the nanny is in to help with the older 2!
Yeah covering one's tracks digitally would be pretty hard if you'e been public in the past
Also some people love to hate. Ignore them
Great insight. Thanks for sharing. People are welcome to their views ofc, and can decide for themselves. Always interesting to hear different opinions
I've personally taken the approach of I am ok with it (as you can tell from my BTC socials etc)
I like to think of having my real name out there as having true "skin in the game"
