Bitcoin Lightning is developing! And it's great! I'm happy to see it. But it needs async (offline) self-custody payments, where the end user doesn't have to run their own node or sink funds. Telling me to be patient, not to use other coins, and ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY wait for Lightning to develop further, Is like the government telling us to wait for the covid-19 vaccine to go outside.

Unique Unprecedented Censorship Whitney Webb is an alternative journalist that was censored by Big Tech in a unique way. She isn't even on Youtube, but they AI edited and then promoted videos of her, to say different points she did not ever make. In episode 1917 of the CorbettReport podcast, she tells him that: they used her voice as a mouthpiece for their own propaganda, to discredit her. This is why Nostr's verification is so important, and why our organization avoids platforms like Youtube. But: don't just use Nostr. Raise the bar, make it better.. This coming week, we're releasing pieces of the documentation for our VPN. Because this stuff is revolutionary tech, we're gonna break it here on Nostr first, to solidify this as the hotspot for innovation. People talk about military conquests, but it's dribble. The real action is innovation hubs.

the Central Banks leech the CIA genocides and coups the World Bank is enslaving So if I say, "You need privacy.

Nostr is uncensored, yet people are nice to each other Reddit is heavily moderated, yet most are rude Why? For the same reason a dog doesn't shit in his own cage. Nostr users don't want to lower the social value of the public key that they own. all we have is each other.

The only thing the oppressor has is pessimism. There is no advantage to SMS over encrypted messengers, other than the network effect. Windows over Linux. Fiat over Crypto. Twitter over Nostr. It's all network effect. The network effect is nothing more than pessimism. The person says "Yes that solution is better, but it's unlikely to succeed" I may not have a lot of money. I may have failed a lot in the past. But I got optimism. And as long as you have a little as well, we can win

My Nostr haters be like: "Do you really think people give a shit about this level of privacy? Email or VPN server decentralization? Just use Mullvad or Proton" And my response is: Do you really think people give a shit about this level of censorship resistance? Social media decentralization? Just use Elon Musk's X"
