Hmm...I typed that through the Bitcoin Chatt account, up in the "Announcements" section, and then when I switched accounts again and came back here, the announcement moved down here. We'll need to fix that. 🔧

🇬 🇲 Fun Fact: The "21 Questions" purple pill is chewable, and actually tastes like grape! 🤯 And sovereignty. It tastes like sovereignty, too. 😉

🇬 🇲 Suppose that one day someone turns to you and asks: "Hey, I've heard about Nostr, but what is it, exactly?" Do you have an answer ready for them? And after you answer them, what if they ask more questions, like: "Why do we need Nostr?" or "Can I use Nostr anonymously?" or "How does Nostr handle spam and bots?" Do you know how you would answer those questions, and others? This is one of the reasons why I'm collecting answers to these and 17 other questions, from some of the most knowledgeable Nostriches anywhere, and turning it into a book: "21 Questions: A Beginners Guide to Nostr" You can use the book's answers to inform your own, or you can simply let your friend borrow the book, so they can get all their questions answered at their own pace. "21 Questions: A Beginners Guide to Nostr" will make purple pilling easy, just as "21 Questions: A Beginners Guide to Bitcoin" made orange pilling easy:

I just watched last Tuesday's episode of Tuttle Twins (why on Earth are they not on Nostr yet?!?), and saw this clip of next month's episode! 🤩🧡 Well done, @BTC Sessions! 👏 This episode is going to be amazing! 🥳

🇬 🇲 As many of you know, I'm working on the Nostr edition of "21 Questions", which is a follow-up to the Bitcoin edition that I published earlier this year, and which you can purchase here:

In the Nostr edition, question 5 is: "What are the most popular Nostr apps, and how do they compare?" In the comments below, list ALL the Nostr apps/clients you regularly use, and what they're mainly used for. The Nostr ecosystem is YUGE and varies widely; it seems there's always something new to discover. I'll zap the lists that I find to be the most helpful! ⚡

Want more Bitcoiners to take the purple pill? Check out this new initiative on @Geyser. If enough of us donate just $9, it will be enough to add a Nostr booth to future Bitcoin conferences, and bring a new wave of Bitcoiners to the freedom and censorship resistance inherent to Nostr! 💜

Ahoy, mateys! Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrr! #TalkLikeAPirateDay

I was asked about my hat this morning. The guy thought it was pretty funny, but he asked, "Bitcoin's kinda irrelevant now, right? Like, it doesn't really matter, right?" I was in a hurry, so I didn't get the chance to really tell him everything I wanted to say. But what cane to my mind was that while only 1 private bank can print more dollars, and anyone can "print" more cryptocurrencies, no one can print more bitcoin; it's the only money that you can really control yourself. So as long as that's still a desirable trait, Bitcoin is still relevant. He didn't have anything to say to that, and I don't know if it made any sense to him, but I hope it'll get him to start thinking. Unfortunately, this is pretty typical for the Chattanooga area, but little by little, we can turn that around. 🧡

Did 0xchat's notifications just explode for anyone else?

🇬 🇲 I'm trying to not be superstitious, but tonight's super blood moon (which will be visible from Europe and the US) has me thinking... Well, I'm likely over-thinking (as I often do 😅), but there are several factors with this particular super blood moon that are difficult to ignore. First: Super moons, or times when a full moon coincides with the moon’s closest approach to Earth, happens on average 3 or 4 times per year. So not very rare, but an occasional occurrence. Second: Blood moons, or lunar eclipses, happen on average approximately once every 2.5 years for any given single location on the Earth. So they're a little more rare than super moons, but still fairly common. Third: Super blood moons, or lunar eclipses when the moon is closest to the Earth, happen on average only once every 1-2 decades, making them pretty rare, especially since the number of years from one to the next varies widely. Fourth: This particular super blood moon is happening on the same night as the anniversary of the ratification of the US Constitution (IMO, the real birthdate of the US). I haven't been able to find when something like that happened before, even on a different important anniversary. Fifth: All this -- a super blood moon on the anniversary of the US Constitution going into effect -- just before the most divisive election in US history, with one candidate being a 2-time survivor of assassination attempts. I'm not a Trump supporter, but neither do I hate him; I like his negotiating skills, and I definitely wouldn't mind it if he ended up doing some of the things he's been claiming to do, as a lure for Bitcoiners to vote for him, so I suppose he has my support in those ways. And Kamala's pure evil, so there's no point talking more about her. And as a bonus sixth point: This super blood moon on the anniversary of the Constitution just before an election in which one side literally wants to kill the leader of the other side, is also likely happening near the end of Ezra's vision of the eagle kingdom, as recorded in 2 Esdras 11 and 12 in the Apocrypha. If you're unfamiliar with Ezra's Eagle, this video is a good intro to the basics: If that vision plays out as many think it will, then Joe Biden will stop being president before the end of his term (which may have already happened), and the next 2 who will "think to rule" (Trump and Vance?), will each be taken out by the deep state, which will then start to rule over the whole world more overtly and tyrannically. That's not the end of the story of the eagle kingdom that Ezra saw, but you'll have to look it up yourself if you want to know what happens next. Despite this super blood moon on the anniversary of the Constitution just before an election in which one side literally wants to kill the leader of the other side and the climactic point of Ezra's Eagle might be about to play out, it might all end up being a nothing burger. But I have to admit that, given all these points, regardless of what's actually going to happen, God certainly has my attention.

Image by @Dan With these 2 books in hand, you will be prepared to orange and purple pill anyone who has any of these questions.

Expect the Nostr edition to be ready in a few months! 👀

My 14-year-old son and I were recently talking about this place, Divine Design Natural Health, and how thanks to Dr. Brett (though I'm not sure he'd appreciate being called a "doctor" 😆), my son's broken arm was completely healed without any pharmaceuticals, surgeries, pins, casts, or anything like that. He just used bone supplements, cold laser therapy, and shocks from a PEMF machine. Now my son is doing pushups and using his arm normally, as if nothing ever happened. And if that wasn't good enough, if you look closely at the image, you'll see that Dr. Brett accepts bitcoin, too! 😁
