Why is nostr.com still referring to "social media", instead of fixing the internet? On the official website (npub1c878wu04lfqcl5avfy3p5x83ndpvedaxv0dg7pxthakq3jqdyzcs2n8avm) This is the preview when people search for it: image

Not your keys, but your coins. — Even though the coins are just strings of code and math, but we value it because of verifiable scarcity. Not your keys, not your account. — Even though the account is just a string of code and a record of notes, but we value it because of verifiable reputation. It’s all about the value we create for our keys, and the value others attach to these digital abstract artifacts.

Sometimes moments of gratitude fill my morning. For the freedom to work fulltime for bitcoin and at the same time travel. With this year trips coming up to Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Norway, El Salvador, USA and Canada. Currently escaping Dutch winter in Gran Canaria Thanks, Satoshi!

🤯 Scarcity in perspective. What does it really mean? Let's compare BITCOIN with our PLANET. And then specifically the 21 million BTC with the surface of 510 million km². This includes 71% water, 29% of land surface. If you own 1 BTC today (worth $100.000), you own something equal to the islands of Tuvalu. And if you own 100 BTC today (worth $10 million), you own something equal to Luxembourg. 1 BTC = Tuvalu (25 km²) 🇹🇻 10 BTC = Palau (459 km²) 🇵🇼 100 BTC = Luxembourg (2,586 km²) 🇱🇺 1,000 BTC = North Macedonia (25,713 km²) 🇲🇰 10,000 BTC = UK 🇬🇧 210,000 BTC = Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 393,000 BTC = USA 🇺🇸, China 🇨🇳 411,600 BTC = Canada 🇨🇦 → MicroStrategy is here 703,500 BTC = Russia 🇷🇺 7M BTC = all LAND For comparison: 🇳🇱 The Netherlands is ~41,543 km², which equals 1.701 BTC 🇸🇻 El Salvador is ~21,041 km², which equals 861 BTC

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?
