Nostriga is awesome! The knowledge and signal here is off the charts. In this panel we discussed the current state of journalism, the challenges we face, and how decentralised platforms like Nostr could be the game-changer we need. Journalism is at a crossroads. The question isn't just "who writes the news?" but "who funds it?" The reality is, if you control information, you control everything. This leads to the barriers we see in truly unbiased reporting. Large corporations often have stakes in major media outlets, leading to content that serves their interests. The US is a prime example with Fox & CNN openly showcasing their biases. Corporate influence in journalism is real, and it's pervasive. COVID was a stark example of government-media collusion. We saw narratives pushed that aligned perfectly with political agendas, shaping public opinion in unprecedented ways. My recent experience with the BBC has been telling. I've been fighting for a retraction on a misleading Bitcoin article since Nov 2023. Despite using every channel—FOI, ICO, the press office—I've hit a wall. Their public funding model makes them untouchable. The question is, how can we maintain editorial independence? Look at the BBC's Bitcoin coverage since 2013—all negative. Many of these journalists have never worked outside journalism, unlike those with real-world experience in fields like finance or tech. Enter Nostr and Lightning Network. This is how we revolutionise journalism. By enabling micropayments and decentralised content distribution, we can create a model where journalists are paid fairly for in-depth reporting. The mainstream media's ethical compromises are destroying trust. Social media further blurs the line between fact and fiction. We need a new business model, and Nos tr with Lightning might just be the answer. #MediaEthics The future of journalism lies in independent, decentralised platforms. Nostr + Lightning offers a solution where people pay for the journalism they want—genuine, thorough, and free from corporate or government influence. Zaps are awesome, could they change journalism? #LightningNetwork #Journalism Thank you for organising @Nostriga @MichZ . 💕

How would a pole flip affect bitcoin?

Is it fair to say that our social and economic woes are caused by governments? If so, why do we keep pointing fingers at each other? It’s time to unite and hold them accountable. We need to stop looking left and right and start looking up.

Bitcoin mining will enhance the UK’s energy security by supporting demand response programs. Miners adjust operations to stabilise the grid during peak demand, optimising renewable energy use. It’s a smart move for a resilient energy future. #Bitcoin #DirtyCoin
