It’s so easy and painless to stack sats that I just don’t understand why more people don’t do it. Fountain app, Bitcoin Magazine app, sMiles app, games like Bitcoin Miner, zaps on Nostr are all free ways to stack. Rewards apps for dollar purchases exist, too. One day, shitcoiners and Bitcoin haters will look back on 2023 and kick themselves for not starting to stack sats sooner similarly to how many of us look back to the early days of Bitcoin and kick ourselves for not stacking thousands of Bitcoin when it was worth pennies on the dollar. Side note: it truly says something about the dollar when autocorrect tries to change “pennies” to “Pennie’s” because the word and the coin are so rarely used… #grownostr #stacksats

The main thing that sets Nostr apart from other platforms is how it is nearly impossible to delete a note. What implications will this have on copyrighted material? What if something is posted that someone else has copyrighted, but the material cannot be taken down? More significantly, what if this person gets zaps for material that is not intellectually theirs? Although there could be (read: will be) complications, I believe this would require our legal systems to adapt. Example: if a copyrighted audio is posted on Nostr and earns zaps, a court could order those sats to be redirected to the original owner of the material in perpetuity. Then again, this is only possible with lightening wallets which, to my knowledge, don’t have cold storage options and are run by centralized authorities by their very nature. Of course, there is always the concept of “clips” currently being pioneered by Fountain, but this is fundamentally different from posting a whole audio on Nostr and claiming it as your own, as opposed to a “remix” of sorts. #grownostr

Curious to hear some perspectives: do you diversify your investments? In other words, do you own ONLY Bitcoin? Or do you also own stocks, precious metals, etc? Personal opinion: Bitcoin is the best investment, but using shitcoins to purchase silver rounds is still an upgrade.

High Tech New + Low Tech Old = Next Gen Futurism In my view, the future holds a space not only for high tech decentralized solutions like Bitcoin (money, economy), Nostr (free speech), but also “going back” to personal responsibility like homesteading, self-sufficiency “off the grid” (also decentralized options, if you think about what centralized authorities they disconnect from). I’m interested in seeing decentralized solutions in politics and what that could look like. Curious to hear people’s thoughts on this. #decentralization #grownostr

Love this concept by Fountain and love this idea to spread it by #[0] ! #flirtingwithbitcoinclips

Plot twist: Mark Zuckerberg IS AI!

I was completely duped by this AI bot earlier today. In hindsight, I should have known better, but I’m throwing this out there because there are plenty of unsuspecting people out there expecting to only engage with humans on social media. To my earlier point about critical thinking, AI chat bots make it easier to get information when you KNOW it’s a bot. If you don’t know, you’re susceptible to being manipulated by the programmer in the same way you’re susceptible to TV programming (word choice intentional). Question to the Nostr community: does free speech include AI bots?

Salutations, #[0] Your passion for sustainability and the pursui

A little about me: If I could pick “one thing” that motivates me and that I’m passionate about, it’s “sustainable systems”. This includes (but is not limited to) economic sustainability (ex. Bitcoin, localized economies, small business), health sustainability (ex. plant-based, natural, organic, alkaline, “non-dogmatic” diet), environmental sustainability (ex. reduce, reuse, recycle…but “actually”, not just parading around with paper straws), efficiency & effectiveness in organizations, sustainable models of education, etc. Where does Nostr fit in? Nostr preserves free speech. Without free speech, democratic values (read: values in accordance with natural law) cease to exist. Free speech must be preserved in order for freedom to exist. Simple. In our modern social media based world, Nostr will be a key player in speech preservation. The next step is ensure that education systems teach you what to DO with free speech, rather than shoveling narratives (of ANY kind, right or left). Just because someone says it and just because it SOUNDS convincing, doesn’t mean it’s true. The primary goal of education should be teaching how to critically think. Without critical thinking skills, people simply fall for the most confident, well-spoken, gripping, entertaining speaker, whether or not their logic is truly correct. This is not sustainable and the easiest way to get politically rug pulled. I don’t have THE answers, but big picture sustainability motivates me every single day. I am interested in new and better systems that help us get to a more sustainable world.

I’d love to be able to follow hashtags on Damus/Nostr like I can on Instagram.

Aside from tinkering with Nostr, what’s the best way to learn more about how to use Nostr as a user?

A lot of interesting converging movements in geopolitics and international economics lately. We are on the precipice of something big.

Nostr makes me feel like I did when Twitter was new and revolutionary.
