The UK is going full-blown bananas.
- CBDC roll out seeming imminent
- The new 'online harms bill' means we will lose the right to encryption

Nostr is one of the best communities I’ve been a part of since I joined the interwebz. Reminds me of the old days on community forums and the early days of blogs.
Absolutely massively long term bullish on it. It’ll evolve and change no doubt, but you’re safe in the knowledge you can use it without fear or favour. Priceless.
Just heard Saylor say on a podcast say he hopes he has another 100 bitcoin buys before it hits $1 million 😂
Anyone else find they’ve got more relays on their account than they added? How are these relays added? Security risk?
This old drinking tavern was built in 1661.
115 years after it was constructed, the US got its independence from the crown. 
Coming to the conclusion you should never underestimate Nostr devs. Zapple Pay is genius. And even the name is a big FU to Apple lol
Zuck is one of the most ruthless businessmen of our times. Beneath those lizard-like eyes and that false smile, the dude is a savage.

“meta appears to be dramatically amplifying the reach of (the usual) favored journalists from the new york times, the post etc. on its new twitter clone. many have jumped to 30k or 50k followers overnight.”
“I remember back in 2023 people used to zap each other 1,000 sats just for a funny meme. That’s why every year we celebrate meme zap day” 😂 View quoted note →
Other than Saylor who are the big public whales? Tim Draper? Who else?

There is no second best 
This is the head of the UK's 'nudge unit' which uses psychologically manipulative tactics to 'nudge' the public into doing what they want.
Crazy times
Threads is a personal project for Zuck. He wants to be the centre of attention among political and cultural discourse like Musk is. Facebook and instagram are popular for consumers not decision makers.
Is anyone following the Prigozhin's mansion heist? With all the cash and gold they found I doubt he's a bitcoiner.
Bitcoin is out-trending everything else on the bird app
The current financial issues in the UK are waking people up to the question 'What is money?'
Once you learn how the current banking system works and then you learn about Bitcoin there's no going back.
