With all of the focus on bitcoin as a strategic asset I think some technical developments and trends have been overlooked. Particularly in the realm of second layer privacy. BOLT 12 is making progress and people are waking up to the power of ecash. View article →

You are being robbed by the government and your hard earned money is being funneled to criminals.

I had a great time joining Tom Luongo on his podcast last week to discuss bitcoin from first principles, some of the uncomfortable truths that exist within the protocol at the moment, and the correct approach to "selling" bitcoin to others. https://fountain.fm/episode/BqTa7HI5R31W435nLKKY

I've gotten 9 hours of sleep two nights in a row and I feel like I can take over the world.

Said another way: “The citizens using their freedom of speech on social media sites are more powerful than our propaganda and we can’t have that.” These despots are really going to hate Nostr when they finally figure it out. View quoted note →

The New York Times is an actively hostile Marxist media organization operating in the US.

We live in the most interesting point in human history. There are two paths that lay before us and forces are exerting a lot of pressure in one direction or the other. The path we ultimately go down depends on the individual. Will you cave to the totalitarians or will you embrace freedom tech and stand up to the insane people who want to control every part of your life? The Nanny State will tax, censor and jail you if you don’t take a stand. Make yourself resilient by embracing freedom tech like bitcoin, Nostr, and other open source software projects while building a strong community in meat space. We can defeat these despots. It will take many individuals taking action to do so though. Don’t cower in fear. The future of humanity depends on you taking a stand.

The Cuban Nipple Crisis is going mainstream. It’s about time.

Sometimes you have to reconnect with your inner kid and launch the young bucks into the stratosphere.

Having played around with Highlighter and Habla over the last few days, I still think one of the most high leverage things that can be done for long form content on Nostr is a simple bridge from other publishers like Ghost @npub1xutv...qt6l built this for TFTC with Scribsat last year but we haven't been working on that for quite a bit and the bridge broke. It was incredible while it was working. Devs, plz help.

The Regime lapdogs that refer to themselves as journalists are some of the most repulsive people living on this planet.

“Democracy”

Don’t underestimate the power of instilling confidence in others. Help people understand that they have power and agency. Bitcoin and Nostr are tools. Confident people leveraging these tools is what we need.

This is why we bitcoin. Bitcoin gives people the ability to store their wealth in an asset that is extremely hard to confiscate if secured properly. Bitcoin gives you leverage from which to fight back against this type of overt Marxism. View article →

"People already pay unrealized gains taxes, it's called a property tax." Property taxes should be abolished. Using property taxes to justify more unrealized gains taxes is not going to sway a lot of voters. People hate property taxes. View quoted note →

Late stage cycle signs.

The shitcoiners have been short intellect for years now. This isn’t surprising.

We’re going to win.

Nostr is worse is better.
