I don’t know which country is worse in handling their currency. Venezuela or Zimbabwe. From my stays in Zimbabwe I can confirm what is written below. No one wants or uses the national currency that is announced as being backed by gold. There is no trust in the system- and no wonder after six currency crashes since 1980. Separate money and state!

@AQUA Wallet please add more African currencies! I want to onboard communities in Zambia and Mozambique their currencies are missing, which makes it understandably hard for them to use it. Bitcoin includes, not excludes.

Lantern is fantastic! Would be great if Lantern had a planning tool to publish on certain dates and times. @fiatjaf @Gigi View quoted note →

I found it! It’s hidden under „connect app“ and then „advanced options“. Using @fiatjaf's Lantern extension. Connected it, highlighted something, …and is it working? View quoted note →

@hal I am curious, tell me how many followers I have here on Nostr

Bitcoin is the wheel. Everything else? Just sledges. After 8 years using Bitcoin across Africa—from Zimbabwe to Kenya, South Africa to Zambia—one thing is clear: it just works. Yet new "innovative" payment systems keep getting built with the same old flaws: intermediaries, control, friction. The cost of delay isn't just the money spent building—it's the opportunity cost of missing the revolution happening right now. https://anitaposch.com/bitcoin-wheel

People will understand the importance of privacy when it’s too late.

Well done @Veronicah Gacheru and big congratulations on successfully completing CTO. Very happy to support your journey. Another educator in Kenya ✅ View quoted note →

That was close. We got some more time to make the general public aware of the dangers of digital surveillance. No privacy, no democracy, no human rights. View quoted note →

Running #bitchat Will be in a space with many Bitcoiners soon, let’s see who I will find.

I visited a farmer in Zimbabwe, who explains how Bitcoin brings stability to businesses in a country whose national currency was debased and all value destroyed several times in the last 40 years. View quoted note →

What I like about Bitcoin is that it gives me trust. I can trust that my money belongs to me. I can trust that no one can block me from using it. I can trust that no one can inflate it. In a world full of deception, surveillance and manipulation trust is essential.

Where do I find my Bunker URL on nsec.app pls? @brugeman

I understand people falling in love with AI. 😁 Claude worked with me on my newest article and told me:

My comparison of Nostr and Bluesky goes on: Verifying my username on Bluesky via my own domain was totally easy and straightforward by adding a TXT entry in the DNS panel. As long as one knows how to add a DNS entry. The NIP-05 verification for Nostr is much more complex. You need different files, the HEX of your npub, put a folder in your public-html folder and add a htaccess file. The tutorials I found were all confusing to me. In the end I think I did it right or not? Why is Amethyst showing this red icon? How can I test my setup?

Using Nostr and Bluesky quite simultaneously I have been seeing that notifications and status updates are faster on Nostr!

Corporations are the new police! Thanks for @GrapheneOS and we need more alternatives! View quoted note →
