We laugh, but nostr could also suffer the same fate if we are not careful. Trying to appease normies and constant mass marketing doesn't always yield the fruit you want.

Modernity forces every muslim to choose a path

Many such cases

This was the definitely the most thought provoking talk at the summit I think one of the biggest takeaways for me is that the migration off of LSM is necessary but it is not enough, as the act itself of moving on to Nostr does not free the individual (the same can be applied to Bitcoin) from the habits and desires of the old corrupt system. Yes, nostr and bitcoin are neutral systems, but that neutrality is only the precondition for transformation, not the transformation itself. So the Islamic concept of tarbiya, the spiritual+intellectual nurturing of the self, is needed, and Nostr provides the neutral space to create the conditions in which that can emerge and can be cultivated.

Wise insight from AbuZ

Third Annual Online Conference on Fiqh of the Future

"Islamic law has long engaged new realities with conceptual depth and interpretive flexibility. Yet today’s technological transformations raise questions that are increasingly difficult to fit neatly into premodern categories without further refinement. How should jurists think about agency, embodiment, accountability, harm, kinship, ownership, intention, legal capacity, and personhood in light of rapidly changing technological conditions? What happens when older legal distinctions remain useful, and what happens when they begin to strain?" Interesting topics:

One of the main points that I was trying to highlight in this talk is that Bitcoin will not meaningfully take root among Muslims so long as it is forced into the same fiat institutions and habits that were built on Riba money. Real Muslim Bitcoin adoption requires a financial hijra joined to a digital hijra where new sovereign tools + infrastructures and forms of community are built so an actually anti-riba way of life, a culture, can emerge.

These are great features to have in a nostr client! Ideally a "marketplace" should be integrated in a way that doesn't degrade the feed. Should be readily accessible like it is on noornote View quoted note →

I like how it's just the default for Muslims on Nostr to get on graphene. Just part of the culture here I guess. Let's keep it up! View quoted note →

This is my default accent IRL. I have to actively not sound like this when I speak in public.

Noticing more and more Muslims reading the Impossible State. It's a great book and I quote from it in Anti-Riba Money But I caution any Muslim reading this book that they not get one-shotted by it and get paralyzed. The point is not to read Hallaq and then resign yourself to endless lament over the loss of some pristine pre nationstate order that cannot simply be copy pasted back into existence. You have to move beyond that. You have to start thinking seriously about what forms of life, coordination, technics, myth, elite formation, digital infrastructure, and parallel institutions could actually outgrow the state rather than merely critique it. Need to figure out how Islamicate civilization might re emerge under entirely different future conditions without unconsciously reproducing the very modern logic we are trying to oppose.

Great list. The main thing I'd add that a lot of bitcoiners tend to miss, especially for those of us in the west with a more individualist spirit, is to build your tribe! Locally, regionally, and globally. Your trusted friends, and more specifically the ones that you would call your brothers, will be your most effective armor against the event. View quoted note →

Looks like my local masjid is fasting starting on Thursday. So much fighting in the local group chat over moon sightings

So many bitcoiners and shitcoiners debate about Bitcoin's viability as a medium of exchange, and Africans be out here just using it as everyday payment like it's nothing 😂 Always so inspiring to see. View quoted note →
