This is my Bitcoin Nostr account. There are others like it, but this one is mine. LNurl: gracelighthearted322747@getalby.com
Is it possible to send/accept Zaps using Nostr on iPad?
To think that all our lives have been dematerialized and re-envisioned within the digital realm within a mere few fucking years… …so seemingly seamlessly… …so objectively objectively… …so brutally gracefully… Yet we worry whether Bitcoin will god-candle?
“The Fourth Turning” outlines that the seeds of change are planted before the Turning, then are nurtured and grow because of the Turning, so they arise fully formed at the time when Society craves new leadership based on the authentic demands of the transformant, dawning era. Bitcoin is certainly this. But many seeds are planted so that whatever is needed will flourish.
If only there was a Parable…a Book maybe…for a Truth that was discovered… And then a Hoard of Influencers swarmed in, and built mock-truths to ride the power-train of this novel, unprecedented Truth: Presenting countless false images, subscriber channels, investment funds, political and seemingly “non-political” influencers toward: Accumulating power to incentivize the Gov’t to suppress the original Authentic Truth and promote their false “idolatry” instead. Perhaps then, people might actually have some basis for an understanding of Real Truth as it is discovered in the world now. And has suffered all of these tribulations.
This seems appropriately brilliant for our current fade-tech time-cycle. People have grown tired of tech. We don’t want advances, we want what we have that works. For another 40 years. View quoted note →
I’m 99.99% convinced that “Recycling” is just “second garbage”.
I’m not going to argue. P2P has been an excellent, successful model for decentralization. But as far as Social Media goes, is it realistic to believe that Nostr doesn’t represent the best, maybe-“quasi”-decentralized platform gaining rapid adoption? We’re in a war. On the ground now. I appreciate the in-fighting, but hard choices need to be made right away. View quoted note →
If you follow alt-media, and appreciate independent voices, I recommend listening to Kim Iversen. This is an amazing intro clip to her approach to journalism precisely because it’s such a huge leap off the cliff - subject matter-wise. She exposes her authenticity, journalistic ability, and desire to simply question what’s true. She throw’s herself to the lions, despite her large following. True pleb, imo. I appreciate this in the people I look to for signal! There’s nothing here for Bitcoiners. Just a ‘friend suggestion’ for people who want to gather a network of great alt-politics/ideas. https://rumble.com/v5cmsat-why-are-anti-woke-conservatives-supporting-super-woke-israel.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp
Trivium reminded me, thank you @Trivium . The thing I LOVED!!! about Nostr early on is that everyone showed up here a newb. Famous people, normies, plebs and frenz. The excitement happening here was vibrant, like early internet bulletin boards, etc. (#NotThatOld) I even posted this early on and got a reply from @jack (insert bro-hug emoji I can’t find on Damus) But we recogize that that’s the land we’re founding (without the complications of previous people and systems and ‘manifest destiny’). Nostr, like Bitcoin, IS the new “America”. Pure, unadulterated by previous relationships and deserving of real Romance. What @ODELL & @nico and others (like me I hope) realize is that embracing new users is paramount. Because this is still a meeting place for “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” And also brilliant, accomplished people you haven’t met yet that you will be completely surprised by. It’s the Paris Salons, the Harlem Renaissance, Florence Italy 1500’s real Renaissance, Haight-Ashbury…pick your flashpoint of History. So get your tix early, get your seat while they’re still cheap. What is about to happen here is going to shake-snow-globe the whole world. And also: welcome @Trivium to Nostr! Appreciate you! View quoted note →
SEATTLE TO JOIN LOS ANGELES (& OTHER CITIES) IN HIRING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FOR POLICE FORCE “Seattle is joining the growing list of left wing cities that have decided to turn to illegal aliens to fill the ever-increasing void in the ranks of their police department, following cities such as Los Angeles. This is due to severe understaffing that has gutted many large city departments in primarily blue cities. … One issue facing DACA recipients becoming police officers is because they are in the country illegally, which means that they are not generally permitted to carry a firearm. However, Biden’s ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) has ruled that “It is ATF’s position that DACA recipients can possess duty firearms and possess ammunition as part of their official law enforcement officer duties,” according to the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF).” https://lawenforcementtoday.com/seattle-police-facing-manpower-shortage-to-hire-illegal-aliens-who-have-daca-status-as-police-officers
