The irony is that criminals have their faces blurred on police footage when they’re arrested, or court drawings, while we have to give our passport/identity stuff to law enforcement agencies so they can trace those same criminals down with KYC. Isn’t that funny?

I have been creating a "personal bitcoin stockpile" for some years already! Didn't need an Executive Order for this. You don't need it either. Stay humble, stack+spend sats

For all Dutchies here: I was invited to talk about "how bitcoin liberates the entire world" recently. Turned out to be a great convo, one that made me optimistic for the future! We talk about the ins & outs of grassroots bitcoin education and adoption, and why bitcoin is important for EVERYONE, even if you don't think you need it.

πŸ“’πŸ’₯ BREAKING! According to my very extensive technical analysis, #ETHEREUM will go to ZERO in August 2026. You read it here first. This event was triggered by a fatal downgrade on September 15, 2022. image

Sometimes when I’m bored I just open some random apps too doomscroll. It used to be X, Instagram, LinkedIn, others. Every time switching between apps, different feed and a new dopamine rushes. Some weeks ago I deleted all of them. Nostr only Now I notice a couple of times opening @Damus, @primal, and @YakiHonne in a row. But it doesn’t make sense because the feed is the same lol. But the habit is still there sometimes β€” it’s confronting me haha. Btw .. I know I can get different/more/bigger feeds if I want to doomscroll on nostr with different clients. But still..! :)

Adam and Eve already had free will in the Garden of Eden. They were just not exposed to evil yet Freedom comes with responsibility. Knowing that you’re free, comes with responsibilities too. And with a moral accountability. Freedom tech can teach us a lot.

According to Nostr Band, the last 2 months on average 18,000 people have been coming together per day to talk to each other at this beautiful public square. We’re so frkn early! Only 18,000 trusted pubkeys create value for nostr per day. The weekly amount of active users is just below 50,000. That’s a soccer stadium full of nostriches. THAT’s ALL OF US HERE.

Deleted Twitter and Instagram on my phone some weeks ago, and Nostr has been replacing this nicely actually. Still opportunities to scroll if I want to be lazy, using several clients for whatever I want (read notes, long reads, or Olas). Just removing β€œold social media” apps from your pocket is a first good step if you don’t want to delete entire accounts.

@PABLOF7z what I find interesting using #olas is that I do receive all likes and zaps in any client, without being able to see the post in Damus/Primal itself. Interesting phenomenon that I can see the comments on a post, but not the post itself. Even if Damus/Primal/others *on purpose* decide to not implement anything of the new NIP.

I believe this is never done yet, and the world should know that bitcoin does really work: βž– as a global neutral currency. βž– as a global payment system. πŸ†˜ Please tag people from the smaller and less-known countries below, so we can find all 196 of them! I'm aware that I can never be 100% sure that people are honest, but I trust bitcoiners to not cheat for $1. I may check profiles, activity and mutual followers! Optionally, I want to receive money as well. But to not be perceived as a scam, this is not my main goal, but rather an extension of the experiment. Send $1 to 4rnold@blink.sv, with your country in the payment description if you want! I'll track this in the spreadsheet too. Let's do this together! Reply on this thread with: 1️⃣ The country you're from, preferably with some proof. 2️⃣ An invoice (with expiration of 24h, or LN address), preferably from a self-hosted wallet.
