I'm thrilled to launch Istiqlalia! 🚀 This is a new community on @Fedi dedicated to people from the Middle East but open for everyone.

A huge thank you to @Jeff Booth and @Obi 🔅 for their thought leadership. And special thanks to the @Fedi team who helped set this up. Join us!

Is it normal that bitcoin knots is taking way too long to sync? It's still @ 41% after 3 weeks of syncing though I regularly have 2-6 peers connected. @Bitcoin Knots

"Store of value" Cheap shot, I know, but it's important to remind everyone that this is a systematic change. Only expect the unexpected.

Fun fact: Gold's market cap exploded by approx. $12.33T in 2025 so far. If that cash flooded into Bitcoin at today's price, 1 BTC would soar to ~$727K!

How's it going?? كيف المعنوية؟؟

Bitcoin at ATH, but where are the "retails"? I keep reading this on nostr and X. And I keep saying the same thing. Retail won't come to Bitcoin any time soon. Once we crossed 70-80k per coin the number just became "too big to gamble with" for those who don't know. And I'm sorry but Sats won't sway them. The only way forward is that unpopular option; a change in denomination.

Seeing missiles flying over your head and being intercepted is so surreal, though it's theatrical..

Americans are slowly figuring out who really runs their country.

Listening to Yanis Varoufakis in the Qatar Economic Forum today going full circle and missing the big orange point is sad. His whole issue with technocrats controlling our lives can be solved via Bitcoin.

Are spams dramatically increasing on nostr or am I imagining?

Where's Nostr therapy when you need it 😂
