This is an interesting feature that I think nostr apps should incorporate. I view nostr as a tribe building engine. In legacy social media, users are algorithmically inventivized to follow and prop up influencers, and everyone is in a rage baiting rat race to get more engagement for potential revenue from social media overlords like Elon. The result is slop, predictably. I think things are arranged differently here on nostr where people naturally gravitate toward a group of like minded people. I mean this happens on legacy SM, but the algorithm isn't geared toward that type of community building. I have a feeling that "influencers" don't really thrive here, and we should be building around that and cultivating an toxic environment that rejects legacy influencer behavior. Growth on nostr should be about which tribes you're affiliated with, and your reputation with them, rather than how many mindless followers you've got. View quoted note →

But seriously what the heck is happening with the UAE recently?? It's like they recently cut their propaganda funding or they're using some shit tier promotional/marketing agency. I don't remember it being this egregious, or maybe I'm just now noticing. It's comical how bad it is.

Interesting, and predictable, to see governments everywhere sprinting toward mandatory ID checks for age verification just for people to do anything online We're watching the internet get fenced in platform by platform. I suspect this crackdown will end up accelerating Nostr adoption inshaAllah. Get ready for the next wave!

They should just call it a euro stablecoin and they'd get a lot less opposition. Amateurs. View quoted note →

I'll officially announce this in a few days inshaAllah, but I'll announce it here first since you nostr folks are special to me. The ebook copy of Anti-Riba Money is now freely available! You can download the pdf off of the Bitcoin Majlis website here:

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and any feedback you have! Enjoy

The phenomenon of devs (not just in Bitcoin) being so economically illiterate, like at a comically infantile level, needs to be studied. They work with logic all the time, but it's like their brain suddenly short circuits when it's applied to human action. Very strange. View quoted note →

"Though I believe that the essence of Muslims all around the world is that rebellious nature against norms once you see truth." Our job when orange pilling is to take that instinct, that old Bedouin refusal to bow to anything but God, and wake it back up. The trick is getting people to see that the same nomadic spirit that crossed deserts now has to migrate into cyberspace, which comes with its own harsh terrain and logic. View quoted note →

This is really what all criticisms of Bitcoin ultimately come down to: "I don’t like that you possess something no one else can seize, freeze, dilute, censor, or gatekeep. I don’t like that you can opt out of the system without asking permission. I, or someone I trust, must have the final say over how you use your property." View article →

Before any real Bitcoin circular economy can exist, you need a community capable of holding a meaningful share of its wealth in bitcoin. That should be the foundation. If people can’t sit tight through volatility and uncertainty, there’s nothing to circulate in the first place. Storing value demands far more patience and discipline than spending it, and I'd say that that cultural shift has to come before everything else.

X just keeps getting worse and worse. Barely any way to reach your audience. It's getting harder and harder to build a community there. Legacy social media is dying as it just keeps getting overrun by Indian bot farms. Being on Nostr just makes sense. The engagements here are a lot more meaningful, and people pay me sats for my posts.

The hardest part about orange pilling Muslims is explaining the individual sovereignty aspect. We seem to be very uncomfortable with taking responsibility for ourselves. That seems to be one of the core issues of our ummah that Bitcoin will help address inshaAllah. View article →

"A member of the human race who is completely incapable of understanding the higher productivity of labor performed under a division of labor based on private property is not properly speaking a person... but falls instead in the same moral category as an animal..."

Alhamdulilah. The presentation went well. Had a lot of people come up to me and ask questions. And some of the questions were pretty good, but a lot of it was the usual "how do I buy the bitcoin???" I also gave away a bunch of copies of my book. And every single person I talked to asked for my LinkedIn 😂 "nah I'm not on linkedin but here's my npub" View quoted note →
