When Reddit is replicated on Nostr in users and content, we will have the seeds of a better world. #nostr #bitcoin #reddit

Just to reiterate this massive fact. The Trump administration plans to establish a "Bitcoin Purchase Program" of up to 200,000 BTC a year over a five-year period. This will/would change everything. It would be the beginning of the Bitcoin "arm's race" by bigger countries and institutions. The first country that does this will basically force other countries to adopt it. If it's the US first, even more so, because of their dominant position as the global reserve. There are estimations that Bitcoin could rise to $140k within the next year or so, because of this. Truly remarkable stuff. Truly Year 1 of institutional adoption. #bitcoin #nostr #us #adoption #trump #politics

Bitcoin is the predictable and high-growth savings asset everybody is looking for. When more people realize this, we will have unrivalled economic opportunity at a global level. Poor people are going to be able to have access to the same high-growth savings mechanism the very rich have. And that's just mindblowing. Combining a growing asset with predictability, and a completely permissionless system will allow poor people to have hope AND control in a very uncertain world. That's revolutionary. If we just have a little bit more of financial predictability, that will change everything for everyone. It would be in essence a light form of the Global Basic Income idea many people are pursuing. And one that can truly be paid for. :) We're heading for better times! #bitcoin #savings #economy #financial

A lot more new Bitcoiners will certainly appear in the next few years. I truly woke up to Bitcoin this year and it took me years, lots of reading, researching to truly understand what it is about (and this coming from a technical background). I'm pretty sure millions will go through the same process in these next years. Bitcoin is going to free the world. Step by step, individual by individual. We're living through historic times. #bitcoin #nostr

Bitcoin will bring the collaboration that the world needs. If everyone is saving in Bitcoin and we're all benefiting with all our neighbours innovation/productivity (on a local and global level), the need for very concentrated and explosive capital growth ventures will be less and less. In other words, more people will start building things for everyone and not just for fast and/or more capitalized ventures. Just because they can, because they would have much less to lose than today. Less risk = more opportunities for everyone. This changes everything. It's truly mindblowing to think about. #bitcoin #nostr #entrepreneurship #investor

Just the fact that we can use Bitcoin with a truly incredible velocity AND intelligence means it is in essence completely different than gold. Bitcoin + AI + internet + open networks (Nostr, decentralized) = Very smart allocation of resources (and thus, a phenomenal amount of value generated as a whole) Gold in comparison looks like a spoon in a kitchen somewhere. :) Bitcoin is just incredible. #bitcoin #nostr #ai #gold #value

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created, in my view. Miroirs III: Un barque sur l'océan Maurice Ravel I think that if this exists it means we can create the most unimaginable beauty possible. If you're feeling down, check this out and imagine you're watching the beauty of the ocean waves somewhere. We can build a world like this. #bitcoin #music #classical

GM Bitcoiners, It seems like adoption is inevitable. A new and better world awaits. A fairer world with less suffering is coming. It's inevitable. #bitcoin #nostr

I was thinking, maybe the problem of redistribution is truly more of a technical problem rather than a philosophical problem. In other words, wealth is centralized because technically speaking, there simple haven't been other models that made it more decentralized. I mean, in pratice, for wealth to be truly decentralized (or more redistributed) there will have to be more non-zero sum games/systems (markets, companies, countries, etc, etc) where everybody wins. And that's not a trivial job. It's inherently complex, because true value is inherently complex. And as we know Bitcoin is clearly one of those systems/games. Bitcoin is a non zero sum game where EVERYBODY wins. The wealthy and the poor. That's truly absolutely incredible. And definitely not trivial. There's many other of course, but Bitcoin is currently one of purest forms of those systems. It's a phenomenal investment. #bitcoin #nostr #economy #politics #technology #philosophy

Any Bitcoiners (or Nostriches) in the Lisbon region? Or Portugal in general? I'm looking to add more people in Lisbon and Portugal in general. Feel free to add me also! Let's create the network!! Cheers! #bitcoin #lisbon #portugal #nostr

There is a better world. And we can create it. First step is believing. Believe it and you can achieve it. #bitcoin #nostr

If you ever feel down and/or not feel connected or engaged in the world, here's what Aristotle thought about you and me: "Each person functions, according to Aristotle, in a different capacity from another. All occupy different levels of the social strata, each performing tasks that best suit them. As a result, the city (Polis) benefits. For instance, the city thrives when soldiers are the best soldiers possible, farmers are the best farmers possible, rulers are the best rulers possible, judges are the best judges possible, craftsmen are the best craftsmen possible, and so on. By being the best in whatever life, career, or place in society that you occupy, everyone else also benefits. For example, if craftsmen were bad at their craft and sold products that people need, this would lead to a less functional, less happy, and less well-ordered city. When everyone fulfills their social purpose to the best of their ability, everyone benefits. This is Aristotle's notion of excellence. Excellence is not only pertinent to the individual but also essential to politics. Good politics fosters virtue or excellence because virtue helps achieve the good life and brings happiness. By being virtuous and excellent in life, happiness is the result. On the other hand, if one is unvirtuous or not excellent at their craft or whatever they do in life, it results in misery for both the individual and others. Since the polis (city-state) serves to achieve the purpose of happiness as a natural expression of human nature, Aristotle argues for political and social excellence within his works Politics and Nicomachean Ethics. Good politics will necessarily and naturally lead to its citizens cultivating virtue and excellence in themselves and in relation to others. The state does not cultivate virtue for us; Aristotle argues that we cultivate virtue for ourselves. It is impossible for the state to produce the excellence and virtue that is innate within humans. While good laws can help further that advancement, the cultivation of excellence and virtue is ultimately an individual endeavor. This is better aided by relationships with other people than by the law and the state. Thus, Aristotle concludes that a city is excellent because its citizens, who participate in the political system, are excellent. By being excellent individuals, we become excellent citizens, which results in an excellent and virtuous politics and polis." **You are absolutely fundamental in this Polis.** The only thing is it's hard to see that this is a Polis. But it is (and it will become ever more apparent with time). We're a building a Polis made up of many other Polis. In the end we'll all understand that was the case, I think. And thus in this sense your work is incredibly value. Your excellence is incredibly valuable. Keep it up! #politics #philosophy #bitcoin #virtue #excellence #nostr #plebs
