Exactly how is a Gold Standard going to be revived without internet-compatible IOUs that, ironically, reintroduce the same problems that #Bitcoin has already solved?

The dystopic novel with the most powerful understanding of authoritarianism is not Orwell's 1984 or Huxley's Brave New World, it's Lois Lowry's: The Giver.

When a society is afraid to call things gay, that society becomes gay. When a society is afraid to call things retarded, that society becomes retarded.

Strangely, I think bringing "deez nuts" to #Bitcoin Twitter was my most impactful contribution. 😂

Never decieve yourself. When you make a mess of your life, own up to it. Zoom out. Take stock. Ask forgiveness where needed. Dig deep so that revitalization can find you. #MasculineFrame

The free market answer to cancel culture is reputation.

You wouldn't want your daughter posting promiscuous media of herself on the internet, so why do you want someone else's daughter to? #FatherlyFrame #MasculineFrame

If she's in a bad mood: let her. #MasculineFrame

Governments and the ruling class have been obsessed with population control ever since #Malthus published his works in the late 18th century. It is naive to think that #Malthusianism hasn't been a national security priority of every sufficiently wealthy country for the last 200 years. The fundamental business of the State *is* population control. If this is new to you, start catching up.

Early in my #Bitcoin journey, I allocated some retirement funds to $GBTC, violating one of my principles: You aren't buying 'the idea', you're buying the management team. In other words, I wasn't buying a 1-to-1 $BTC backed fund, I was buying Barry Fucking Silbert. 😂 #oof

they don't want you to know that raw honey is a highly anabolic pro-hormone super food

Accept Christ. Save in #Bitcoin. Own guns. Eat meat. Be straight. Protect kids. Become strong. Carry frame. Do good. This is not rocket science.

Barry Silbert was a huge proponent of #Ethereum Classic in the Blocksize Wars. If I had read the book years ago, I might have avoided $GBTC.

After evaluating #Nostr for a week, here are the top 4 things I want to see focused on in order to take this promising alpha to a beta state. #1 - Spam/porn prevention; clients and potentially relays should come with good defaults that filters out spam and porn. Users should have to go hunt for private relays that offer porn instead of being blasted with it in day to day relays. Paid relays, especially pay-per-event relays could play a big role here. #2 - Data retention/self hosting; metadata is "backed up" via relays and cached to some extent in clients; users need a way to guarantee their own content is backed up. I see self-hosting on Start9/Umbrel/etc as an easy way to get this practice started. #3 - Relay affinity/horizontal scaling; when a follow posts to relays you don't subscribe to, then their content is effectively nonexistent. To prevent the popularisation of massive centralized relays, clients need a standardized way to automatically peek into the relays of their follows. This will allow #Nostr to stay maximally decentralized. #4 - Cold storage; pasting private keys into apps is great for this alpha stage, but we need an easy way to generate keys offline and then lease out access to our clients for a given time period (1 day/1 week/1 month). Luckily the #[0] folks are having a look at this. cc #[1] #[2]
