TikTok - from "spyware" to "national security threat". https://www.yahoo.com/tech/tiktok-grew-fun-app-teens-130500533.html I feel like any website, app or even game coming out of China is now being instantly labelled as spyware or worse. Meanwhile the NSA is harvesting more data than ever and the exiting US administration was more of a threat to the national security of the US than anyone else. You cannot make this shit up.

Bitcoin is about to get so expensive that most people will have a hard time rescuing any significant of their personal wealth from being destroyed by inflation and everyone is like "YAY LFG!!" Amazes me. It's almost as if people have accepted the fact that they'll never do better for themselves so might as well just give up on it and let wall street and governments stack Bitcoin instead.

If anyone tells you that nostr "is just a twitter clone" tell them that it's either their client or that they're being ignorant. Right now the nostr interoperable eco-system brings together many aspects of the legacy web while solving the internets "bounce issue" and the need to have accounts across a multitute of platforms, just to follow one creator or topic. * This is why I call nostr "a creators business in a box" * For streaming we have zapstream * For videos we have zapstream and flare * For music we have Wavlake * For audio podcasts we have NostrNests * For blogs (long-form posts) we have Habla and Yakihonne * For X-alike short messaging we have notes * To manage or grow your community we have NIP-72 Communities and now NIP-29 (imo superior to 72) * For discord we have Chachi (still early but already looks like discord lite) * For Instagram-alike content we now have Olas * We also have NIPs for badges, emotes and fund raising (goals) * (There is more inc zap.cooking and other apps / sites) All of those can interoperate wich each other. You can seamlessly embed any of your content into any of your other content. Your community only needs ONE "account" to follow ALL of your content and with the right client, they can do that from within one app or one browser tab. If you don't see the huge potential here for you to further grow as a creator while truly owning your content and your community then it's not nostr, it's you. Side note, discoverability is also higher on nostr than across all of the legacy social media if you're just starting out as a creator. You'll need at least 1-2 years to gain exposure across Twitch, Medium, X, YouTube and co. On nostr, you'll be discovered instantly and the rest is up to you.

Yes. El Salvador is buying OTC so they do get a chance to enter a bid. View quoted note →

Layman translation of MiCA's Bitcoin (crypto) travel rule. Which requires you to proof the ownership of an address when you want to withdraw from- or fund your exchange, swap, DCA platform or any other for that matter. The long game here is to A. Being able to execute asset seizures (IRS, criminal or other) B. Greatly limit the amounts you may transact. C. Make it near to impossible to exchange no-KYC Bitcoin through any regulated platform in the mid- / long term. How? Can you prove that the no-KYC address belongs to you? Have you stolen those sats? Have you paid tax on those sats? The EU is going after no-KYC and if you haven't done so already, increase your peer-to-peer network of frens. You'll need them.

Cracked the top. Forgot to cover it with some baking paper 😭 #foodstr

Bevor die Menschen in der BRD Wählen stellt sicher das Ihr diligent research macht. Wer zb. denkt das Friedrich Merz eine option ist der sollte auch daran denken das er BlackRock's asset manager für Deutschland ist.

If you could see these stoopid lines you'd dump your x-mas presents to buy more sats 😆
