Bitcoin + Nostr = True Freedom

The freedom to transact is the baseline that enables all other freedoms. It unlocks movement and different locations, the goods and services that you want, and support of people, organizations, and ideas that you believe in. This is as important as verbal free speech. It is the enabler and amplifier of ideas which is the true currency of freedom.

Nostr ties and binds this with the currency of the internet bitcoin. On this protocol we can freely express ourselves anonymously if we choose. Support, promote, and voice ideas that may go against the narrative. To fight oppression, to be anti-war when the military industrial complex needs to justify their existence, to call out blatant lies and propaganda.

No more likes, ZAPs only. Express yourself with the hardest money that ever existed and it is directly integrated into Nostr!

Hello followers and otherwise, I’m not on any #paid #relays, let me know if you are paying or not in the comments. No polling built in yet, so:

👍 paying

👎 not paying

Consider,

Twitter could've implemented lightning tips, or honestly payments of literally any kind YEARS ago. But they didn't. Why?

#Nostr on the other hand has accomplished this in no time, and everyone who has experienced it immediately feels what a big deal this is... but why exactly?

Numerous features implemented in Nostr could've been on Twitter all this time.

• Do you think it's because they didn't want to?

• Was it too technically difficult, even though Nostriches pulled it off in a matter of days or weeks?

Of course not, it was POLITICALLY infeasible. Remember how Facebook spent *years* and bookoos of capital trying to create a *whole new currency* just to enable it because there was no chance of doing it with dollars? They were even dragged before Congress to explain why they would do such a thing as enable payments on social media! How dare they! It was easily squashed despite the fact that the list of those backing it was essentially a Who's Who of Silicon Valley fintech.

And what did the Twitter Files teach us? That not only would the suffocating regulatory environment make tips and payments on social media virtually impossible, but the political leviathan refused to even allow them to freely TWEET to their followers! Intelligence agencies were both *funding* social censorship & had direct communication channels to shut down people's accounts, shadow ban, & ensure that "unapproved" opinions simply can't travel through the network.

Like @#[0] said, "this has the power to monetize dissent." Consider the insane power of sharing an "unapproved" opinion to millions of people and being directly rewarded with 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands of private, instant payments while the post has unfiltered, free flow to every last user in the network.

No more "donation services" or "patreons" that take 10% and will preemptively shut down anything remotely against the establishment. No more Go fund Me's fuck stealing millions going to protestors to donate to a "charity of their choice." They are all immediately redundant & pointless.

Instead we are walking into a world with unfiltered, free flowing information and unfiltered free flowing money.

The simple fact is that no large, centralized social platform of any kind CAN do what Nostr does so easily. Because they have a gun to their head & they know it.

This is the 10x value add that is going to wake people up, and it's going to start with ALL the dissenters. We need to find all of them and bring them here.

The simple ability to have direct access to millions of followers, and be able receive payments and tips from them directly, unfiltered, untaxed, with no middle man & no authority whatever involved...

They are afraid as FUCK of that power. And they absolutely should be. Think of what a staggering problem the mere existence of someone like Joe Rogan has presented in the past couple of years. Now consider they attacked him through his network, his advertisers, his payment processors, and a huge targeted propaganda campaign (and fucking LOST despite, 🤣). Now think about the 1000s of others we watched get attacked, banned, deplatformed, canceled, etc...

–––––––––––––

Now imagine the past 3 years done over again, except without any of that being possible anymore...

Guys, we are right in the fucking middle of the revolution. It's right now.

Pura Visa Nostr Friends!

It's easy to forget how early we are on #Bitcoin and #Nostr without empathy for how others experience their lives.

Let it inspire. Their pain, their frustrations, from their POV.

That is where the value lies.

Creating products and services to solve it.

This is my first NOSTR message. My public key is:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv

Is Luke Mikic here?

Don't delete your #Twitter account. Rather use it to get as many people to #Nostr, as possible.

Tried Mullvad earlier and was not able to pay.

I used proton VPN instead but I don't reccomend it

You will have streams of sats flowing to you from every piece of digital content you create, and you will be happy.

Nostr is like Bitcoin: Once you've seen it, you cannot unsee it and the rabbit whole is very, very deep

Should I promote this tweet? 🤣
