Damus is getting better each day. It’s the easiest platform to get started with, does require some knowledge of private key security, and has a lot of user experience improvements to come… With that said - the pace of innovation surrounding #nostr is special and appears to be ready to spread like a wildfire replacing centralized platforms and applications. What are the best places to learn about developing applications on top of it? Where is a good place to test ideas for custom relays and applications? Are all of the Nostrica videos on YouTube or somewhere else? Let’s go!

Potatoes settled in bitcoin is. True - biggest problem is understanding. Your identity has never been owned in cyberspace. Intimidating to think about, but real and extremely important. Your information is digital bits, and you can own it. And make money with it. Facebook, google, Amazon, they get paid on your information. And get your retirement funds in addition to your clicks and words/pictures/videos There is a solution where you, me, all people can own and protect their identity. Bitcoin is the engineering marvel and technological solution..like the wheel was for moving things.

Middle East, Ukraine, France...all on fire. Banks failing. Debt at crisis level. USD increasingly excluded from trade settlement. OPEC+ vs US US Petroleum Reserve at lowest level in 40 years. China balloons, global currency expansion, Taiwan and chips. Bioweapons and pharma led controls. Government coordinated censorship across all media. AI Deepfakes indistinguishable from reality. Tell me how this isn't already a world wwwwwrrr Trust and counterparty risk are the fundamentals under all of this. USD global dominance was always because of war and avoiding it. Settle in USD, we'll loan you IMF money, but your country needs to be dependent on conditions that limit your global economic participation. If you use USD, we'll import and buy your shit. Then you need to save your money on US Treasuries to keep it safe. The world is coordinating and turning direction. The US had the trust of the world and ruined it by greed and irresponsible monetary policy. Money is about trust. What isn't?! #bitcoin is important, perhaps existentially for many now and in the future. We all make a difference.

Nostr FTW. #plebchain Let’s get more connected and educate the world about open protocols and networks!

#[0]​ Where does block bank? Or, more importantly - are the shuddering banks presenting any liability for Block and the ability to continue buying/selling bitcoin within the cash app?

Hear me out - it’s like wallstreetbets, but for Bank runs. Maybe that’s the best way to fix the system is to help everyone understand fractional reserve ponzi and counter party risk and how to avoid it. #BankStonk !!

What are the best paid relays? How do I find what makes one better than another? I’d like to ramp up my activity on nostr, however am having trouble discovering new content and gaining followers.

Who else is buying #bitcoin every hour?!

I love showing off zaps. It’s so easy and once you get it, it so mind opening.

What’s the most zappable post?!
