If you are into privacy, beware of what nostr relays you choose and what npubs you follow, because those lists are public. For example, if you are using multiple french-only relays and following multiple npubs who primarily post in french, it's obvious you live in France. #privacy #opsec #cypherpunk

$37 trillion in dept, $1 trillion annual interest payments, bonds yield % rising, M2 money supply going parabolic .. and people are selling their Bitcoin back to Dollars because Israel and Iran are sending missiles to each other? OK.

Advertisers are never going to win the battle against people who don't want to see ads. Them breaking ad blockers and making ads even more unbearable only makes things worse. It's getting so bad that even normies are complaining. I don't know how can anyone browse the web without an ad blocker or RSS feeds nowadays.

The best way to get normies to not use ad blockers is to not have intrusive ads that ruin the whole experience. Google doesn't understand this and is doubling down on even more ads. Also not having scams or nsfw ads would help too. Google allows everything, as long as advertisers pay, even if those ads violate their own ToS.
