This tweet destroyed my twitter following. 1M+ impressions, 2k+ followers gained off a single tweet, engagement utterly DESTROYED. Following has only gone down since. The cool part is the meme this tweet has become. If you copy select parts of the tweet word-for-word and search them, you'll find it across every social media platform being replicated on near-daily basis. Nostr fixes this.

Nostr brings out the giddy early bitcoiner in me.

Zap Relay Contracts Data Vending Machines (DVM) has me thinking about decentralized betting markets. Why couldn't a DVM job be a bet based on an arbitrary piece of data between two or more npubs? E.g. user broadcasts job to relays based on outcome of XYZ sportballs event. User gives 2:1 odds based on XYZ outcome of XYZ event. User pays zap + overcollateralization. Funds held in a DLC-like "escrow" until outcome is achieved. Relay processes xyz data, processes zap payment from both parties, collects fee after winner is paid-out.

Me: "I should spend less money" Also me:

Can't stop thinking about Data Vending Machines.

Bitcoin is designed to be hard to change. We barely understand the implications of the last few soft forks. The default stance for any future soft fork should be skepticism.

There is no such thing as public health emergency exception to the US Constitution.

The Nostr homies during #pepethon

Nostr is the coolest thing since Bitcoin.

In your opinion, what is the most interesting #nostr project being built right now?

What the fuck do people do all day that don't care about their work?

Notice how none of the people that rallied for Inscriptions or Drivechains are on Nostr. There's a lesson there.

Officially left X/Twitter Full Nostr now 😎

Tell your friends and family you love them today.

Bitcoin is permissionless money, not permissionless innovation. The hubris to bring your shitcoin science projects to the global base layer of money is *insulting* I don't want my savings fucked with.

The first Nostr commit was on November 7th 2020. By this time, there were already calls to have Donald Trump removed from social media. Within two months, the sitting US president would be banned from every major social media network. Just like the inception of Bitcoin was during the aftermath of the Great Financial Crisis, the origin of Nostr coincides with the removal of one of the most prominent history from social media.
