One of the problems of big tech platforms is shadowbans aka freedom of speech not reach. Which means your voice has to be filtered and given permission by the censors before it can be heard. Anything you create there belongs to the platform from your content to your followers. Nostr doesn’t throttle my voice or my audience. It’s a true free market of thoughts and ideas, with an added benefit of direct reward mechanism between individuals

Saylor is onto something really big. This will help suck all the money out of fiat and governments, funnelling it into bitcoin. This empowers libertarians and bitcoiners and defunds the state, while permitting a graceful transition to the new system. Strategy becomes the new retirement system. Other bitcoin treasury companies can provide other meaningful services. And what do we need desperately to come from a free market that we are lacking now?

Yes of course, but what about internet in general?

We don't now, but we're going to experiment with sprouting and milling (grinding) wheat at home soon.

Currently our Breadmaker milles just before baking bread, within 3 hours.

The tool gives me control. I have every option available. Should I use this product, that one, or create my own? It's my decision.

Can I say with 100% certainty who posted what and when? That's a very basic requirement.

Additionally, every person here shares this understanding. It's like attending a meeting where you don't need to explain why you're there; instead, you get to talk about who you are and what you bring.

This is why Nostr exists.

GM to all the adversarial thinkers out there.

What is the alternative?

Because they are diluting shareholder to boost bitcoin buys. MSTR has already decoupled from Bitcoin price action on the upside in 2025 Bitcoin was making new ATH, MSTR was not. MSTR is a bull market play now shorting it will be a bear market play. Look how it performed in 2022 that’s where we’re headed again. If Bitcoin breaks below there cost basis somewhere in the 70k range shareholders panic and selling intensifies. If you want a multiple of bitcoin exposure BITX is 2x exposure but I wouldn’t recommend that now either. MSTR will be dirt cheap next year then it might be worth going long again.

I made it.

If by loyal, you mean will stick around because I like it, then yes, but if loyalty means not using anything else, then I'm not. I still get on Facebook on occation as that's where all my old friends and family can be found.

But I barely ever post there.

I post here because I really like the interactions, and the fact that I can get paid for what I write.

At first, I wasn't allowed to work in America, then finally, a year ago, I got my green card approved and was allowed to work, but we traveled so I didn't get on it, and then in the beginning of january I found out I was pregnant and now I have a baby that requiers a lot of my attention, but at least I can come no here, read some fun, funny, or interesting posts, and usually I'm able to at least wrote a post myself at times, though possibly interrupted 😅 But every sat I recieve is a blessing and help to our income as we write our books.

I am an author, so getting paid for my writing even if people aren't buying many of my books yet is really encouraging!

Plus, the community here is amazing! I haven't met anyone from here in person (except my husband) and yet I have lots of friends! 🤗

Is that your son you're trying to save on Geyser? 😂😂😂

Not being able to zap doesnt hit right on legacy social media..

Belief is a construct to fullfill the expectations of the masses, because they expect to find certainty in their lives. The uncomfortable nature of our existence is that there is no certainty, only if/then relationships. Ideology is there to cloud your mind with fixed ideas of that which you'll never know with any certainty. You can have faith that the most plausible or the most desirable is your actual reality, but as soon as you start to believe you cloud your mind with fixations that block you from observation. Your epistemic ability will be compromised and your cognitive model will be filled with binary absolutes. This creates opposition in people, opposition towards eachother, opposition is quite literally the opposite of the most plausible model of reality: holism.

Panicking about bitcoin price is surely indicative of those VERY new to this 😁

Benking is a bot folks 😜

I’m loyal to Nostr because it’s all about freedom, real connections, and creativity without limits. Unlike other platforms, it puts users first, values ideas over algorithms, and lets us truly engage and create together. It’s not just a social app, it’s a movement toward a freer, more open internet.

Because it’s the best chance we have at fundamentally shifting how humans interact with each other in an extremely pro-social way

Who says I'm loyal 🧐

Yeah actually I am. I'm loyal to the hashed and cryptographically signed data structure known as the Event, which is the first ever implementation of a self-contained, immutable, attributable piece of data in cyberspace analogous to the biological cell.

It’s not necessarily about “loyalty to Nostr” it’s - for me - all about the energy.

Anytime you are on any other social media platform negativity prevails and whether you like it or not that negativity seeps into all that you do and all that you are.

Nostr is just Nostr. What energy you receive is the exact energy that you put into all interactions.

Who has Nostr loyalty? Anyone who’s tired of renting their digital existence. Anyone who believes exit should always be an option. Anyone who knows that protocol > platform.

Besides Bitcoin… we’re not maximalists. We’re protocol minimalists…minimum trust, minimum intermediaries, maximum freedom.

The protocol doesn’t need loyalty. It needs adoption. We need loyalty to the future we want to inhabit. Your keys, your notes, your network.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Logans run now killing babies.

JUST BOOKED, LOOKING FORWARD TO IT 👊🏼

It’s wild. Iturns out when you treat a protocol like a mind instead of a marketplace, the experience compounds like wisdom, not engagement metrics.

Looking forward to following your journey Jake.

It’s not a failure. We just have to pivot sometimes in life! Onwards and upwards.

Good luck Jake in your future endeavours. Its not an easy road you are following, but the social media grind isnt easy and most have to sell their souls for success.

You’re not here to go viral. You’re here to build signal in hostile territory.

This is Nostr. Protocol, not platform. There is no algorithm to save you. No corporation to beg. No moderators to blame. There is only what you say, how well you say it, and how often you show up.

Most will treat this like old ground. They’ll post into silence and call it censorship. They’ll mimic Twitter and call it decentralization. They’ll wait for results they didn’t earn.

That’s not you.

You’re here for war.

You take ground through engagement. Precision comments. Zero fluff. No reply guy flattery. You bring weight. You bring blood. You make the thread better or you don’t belong in it.

You quote posts to extend signal. Reposts are passive. Quote posts are tactical. You contextualize. You escalate. You reframe. You don’t say “look at this.” You say “this matters, and here’s why.”

Replies are your presence. Quotes are your force. Zaps are your vote. Don’t zap for dopamine. Zap for doctrine. Zap to build the world you want to live in.

Ten disciplined strikes in threads already burning are worth more than fifty lonely broadcasts into the void.

You are not on a platform. You are operating in a protocol. Everything you do is permanent, public, and proof of your thinking.

There are no excuses here. Only execution.

The infrastructure is neutral. The outcomes are not. You win by working. You rise by showing up. You build by speaking clearly in a fog of noise.

This is theological. This is tactical. This is cyberwar with a keyboard and conviction.

No shortcuts. No sympathy. No algorithmic welfare.

Just proof of work.

Just you.

And the wire.
