Muslim Nostr is very well positioned to address the Dawah Inc problem, but that vision still needs to be communicated View quoted note →

One of the reasons why I'm on Nostr is to cultivate and grow a Muslim Nostr space where 8-hour slop like this cannot happen. Lookin like a super smash loading screen how ridiculous it is.

This is really cool. Gotta get on this. Future Network States will have their basis and origin in being the first in utilizing sovereign permissionless infrastructure like this View quoted note →

Sounds like a sovereign individual framework to kickstart network state formation 👇 "The Two Realms framework exploits this caution. Rather than confronting the state or waiting for territorial escape, strong individuals build a second realm that operates alongside the first. The first realm consists of public spaces, state-controlled infrastructure, the official economy with its banking system and tax apparatus, the courts and police and prisons. The second realm consists of private spaces, encrypted communications, alternative monetary systems, and physical locations where those who claim self-sovereignty can meet, trade, and collaborate outside the state's direct oversight."

Samourai Letter #1: Notes From The Inside

Syndicated from The Rage: "Turning yourself in to be incarcerated tugs against every fundamentally primal instinct we have as human beings," writes...

Sobering read. Keonne met some Muslim brothers on his first night of being locked up. May Allah guide him and free him.

Started watching Orb. Really great anime so far. I'm definitely hooked. Synopsis: Orb: On the Movements of the Earth is a historical drama anime about a secret society in 15th-century Europe fighting to prove the heliocentric theory (that the Earth revolves around the Sun) against the powerful, oppressive Church that enforces the geocentric view, exploring themes of scientific discovery, faith, power, and the human pursuit of truth through a multi-generational saga of scholars risking their lives for forbidden knowledge.

X is trying hard to be like nostr 😂

The algorithmic feeds on legacy social media (LSM) are going to continue to deteriorate over time, basically turning into reddit front page slop. Being on LSM is proving to be such a waste of time man. You literally have to post like a slop influencer just for the elon algorithm to grant you the privilege of having any engagement. It sucks.

And inshaAllah we're definitely planning on having more stuff related to nostr. If we can get 200-300 people for this summit, that's a huge opportunity to nostr pill Muslims View quoted note →

Lots of exciting developments happening! View quoted note →

BIG NEWS We're excited to announce the Second Annual Muslim Bitcoin Summit, taking place April 17–19 in Dallas, Texas. Last year showed there’s a real hunger in our community for serious, grounded conversations about Bitcoin from a Muslim perspective. This year we’re taking it further. The summit will bring together Muslims from around the world who are thinking deeply about Bitcoin, sound money, and what financial sovereignty actually looks like in practice. Expect thoughtful talks, open discussion, and practical workshops focused on custody, sovereignty, and privacy. Early bird registration is now open at mslmbtcsummit.com If last year was any indication, spots won’t last long. Looking forward to seeing you there!

That's the vision that needs to be communicated more to Nostr devs, users, and outsiders. Think of Nostr as more than just an alternative social media. It is the permissionless substrate for cyber cult formation, from which sovereign local governance and censorship-resistant economic structures will emerge. View quoted note →

Great post. The thoughts seem to be in a good direction. "I can’t look at someone straight in the eyes and tell them that Primal is the next TikTok or Youtube Killer etc." Exactly. A Nostr app is a fundamentally different thing compared to TikTok or youtube or Twitter. Can't market it the same way and we should embrace that fact. We should not seek to emulate their hyper attention grabbing incentives and structure because it will end horribly. Need to think in terms of programming different incentives and priming new users for new outlook. Push them into the direction where they don't want to be a normie anymore. Help them feel good about owning their shit in cyber. View article →

Potential learning opportunity for nostr devs and users to see how this plays out. My gut feeling is that rumble creators don't care about getting paid in Bitcoin and will want to be paid in permissioned stablecoins, if there's any appetite for that at all. So this wallet will hardly get used since rumble is modeling itself on the same monetization logic as legacy social media. View quoted note →

Nightmare blunt rotation

The shitcoiner must cling to this belief for he cannot face the reality that Bitcoin via Lightning already makes his token irrelevant Letting go would force him to sit with the psychological weight of being wrong

"Cybertechnics will invite us to think deeper as 21st Century Muslims about the relationship between the State and the Believer. Hence the Cyber Muslim has to adopt planetery thinking, finding solutions to shared global challenges. For the message of Islam was not sent to one people but to all of mankind." View article →
