telegram is spyware. Astounded at the number of devs/punks who still default to it. Its app settings alone are way, way worse than signal. For conferences, would be cool to stand up a "conf relay" with auth (only attendees allowed to read & write). Would need groups too. Unfortunately not many (any?) Nostr clients support "send/read only from this relay". But thats the only real hurdle.

Nick Land goes hard (on Bitcoin) > "In the final analysis, nothing less than the nature of reality is brought into question by this event. It concerns the ‘Being of beings’ (at least). If the claim seems extravagant, it is nevertheless inescapable, once the transcendental status of an ultimate criterion based upon absolute succession is granted to the Bitcoin protocol. It is not only that no higher tribunal exists. When envisaged at a sufficient level of abstraction, no higher tribunal could possibly exist. The Bitcoin ledger is the first intrinsically reliable record." - Cryptocurrent, ¶0.051
