I don't care about politics anymore. I am an ardent anarcho-capitalist, however, I see the way forward for the freedom I want is not through consensus but by out-competing the current system by building parallel systems. This will be done with #Bitcoin, citadels, and national arbitrage. I'm much more bullish on this after discovering Nostr. Nostr is going to be a very powerful tool to organize independent communities. We are so early, but I see a day when Nostr will permit likeminded people to create their own communities with their own standards.

Post a song you're grooving on currently, and the best song IMO will get a 10K sat zap! Contest ends tomorrow morning, when I pay out. Runner up prizes will be fewer sats, but I'll zap every song I like something. Go! I'll start.

Nostr reminds me of the early days of the 2+2 poker forum. Super intelligent people posting high-signal notes or at least really funny notes. Any out there remember those days and posted there?

I am not getting notifications on all my new followers. Anyone know why this is the case? Bad relays?

My relays are slow as hell today. I just accidently reposted my own note because I was clicking around and there was a delay. I was trying to repost someone else's note and now I can't figure out how to undo the repost. But hey, this is the price we endure to front-run the next revolution in social media. 🙂

Last time I got drunk I gave away 50K sats via zaps. I'm on my second beer. 😲

I think people who have a decent following but follow zero people are douches.

Told my father about Nostr and that I'm getting zapped all over the place. His response: "Make sure you keep track of all those tips, because you're going to have to claim them on your taxes next year. My response.
