God, the Great Architect, also uses layers in His designs. The "base layer" of God's plan is justice. And the "layer 2" of His plan is mercy. "The plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made. Therefore, God Himself atones for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also." -Alma https://w3.do/CJ2D_TSI

Anyone else find it odd that the @Jesus account not only has "jesus" as part of the npub (that's not too odd, I know lots of accounts that have vanity npubs), but also "666": npub1 👉jesus👈 cv8r46248umj38f08zsmwxqm4sps8q0ccy7dej2xn6l 👉666👈 skwavck I'm getting some mixed messages here.

Why do we need Nostr? Or, asked another way: Why is Nostr important? This is the 3rd question that's asked in the Nostr edition of "21 Questions," and will be answered by some of the most well known people involved in this space. But how would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 answer that? I'll zap my favorite answers, and if I 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 like it, I'll include it in the book, too!

And stay tuned for the next installment of 21 Questions: the top 21 questions about Nostr. Here's a sneak-peek of the table of contents: 👀

In my upcoming book, "21 Questions: Nostr Edition," answers to the top 21 questions about Nostr will be given by some of the best minds involved in this space. I already have several of them lined up and answering the questions, but who would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 like to see as a featured contributor in the book? #AskNostr Tag them below.👇

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆! I'm putting together the very first book about Nostr, "21 Questions: Nostr Edition", which is a follow-up to the book I compiled earlier this year, "21 Questions: Bitcoin Edition" (https://a.co/d/5nv1GoK). Like the Bitcoin Edition, each chapter in the Nostr Edition will be 1 question out of the 21 top questions that new Nostr users tend to ask. They'll each be answered by many of the greatest minds involved with developing Nostr and spreading the purple pill. 🟣 And that could also include 𝘺𝘰𝘶. The second question in the book will be: "𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿?" How would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 answer that question? Do you think that simply stating that it was @fiatjaf would be satisfactory for a new Nostr user? I'll zap extra sats if you also tell the story around Nostr's creation, and get creative with it. 😉 Share your answer in the comments, and if I think it's good enough, I'll include it in the book, and attribute it to you, forever immortalizing you in the first-ever Nostr book.

I camped and backpacked for 8 miles over the weekend, with my 4 oldest boys, in Cloudland Canyon State Park in northern Georgia, which is about an hour south of Chattanooga TN. I started down at the bottom of that gulch, around the bend to the left, and went all the way to the top of some cliffs where I got this amazing view! 🤩 8 miles isn't a lot for me, but that uphill climb out of that gulch was brutal! 😅 I'm still feeling sore from it now! I look forward to going there again! 😁

My aunt has allergies, so she actually took a c0v|d test, and tested positive. Some of my family live with her, and were like: "Oh no, we were exposed! Now we have to quarantine for 2 weeks!" ...in 2024. Yes, there really are people who are still like this. Be careful out there!

I step away from Nostr for a couple hours, and a whole new meme has app𝗲𝗮𝗿ed. Can anyone explain it to me? I'm all ears.

A few of my kids (ages 17, 15, and 10) and I played Hodl Up earlier today, and I can't recommend this game highly enough (and no, that's not just because I won 😆). This game has a great balance of luck and strategy, and plenty of Bitcoin references to kick off many discussions. Get this for your family, meetup (that's what I did, but I couldn't resist play-testing it 😉), classroom, or anything else, so everyone can learn about Bitcoin while having fun at the same time.
