I had hundreds—hundreds!—of open tabs in my iOS Brave browser. Just launched it and everything is gone 😳

@allen - Bitcoin Is Ariadne: "There will be tremendous value in normalizing this rhetoric amidst the likely growing chorus of opposition desperate to smear Bitcoin as inherently nefarious or even hostile. Opponents must be forced to explain what is wrong with people interacting freely, and why true goodness can only follow from coercion, in their understanding. Should those who have found a way out of the unbearable labyrinth of capital strip mining not take it? What do they owe the Minotaur? Does anybody really believe that, having fully understood the choice they face, any individual would choose to save in a self-referentially mispriced toxic loan rather than a provably sound digital bearer asset? Or, more simply still, that they will think it makes less sense to hold money that is a pure asset than money that is iliterally defined as liability? Why not opt into a financial systm that is built on trustless verifiability rather than unverifiable trust?" View quoted note →

#AskNostr Yesterday I used @Tony‘s habla.news to sign a long form post—a book review. It loads here (https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzd3exqurzwphxucrwd3hqgs0as0se8a20ffgv4lt46y92j89pyxa5pxjpzwpn7up2eduyhhx8agrqsqqqa28hcz2jt) and is clearly associated with my identity, but none of the various Nostr clients I’ve tried will display that post in my feed. Why is that?

I’m playing with wavlake, a platform for streaming music that allows value-4-value boosting directly from listeners to artists. Here’s one I recorded a few years ago—a cover of one of my favorite tracks by Josh Garrels. It’s about Odysseus (or Ulysses) and his epic journey home.

So far this book is 🔥🔥🔥: “Bitcoin is peer to peer in every sense; it is so by design and it could not be any other way. As free and open source, it is peer-to-peer software; as consensus-driven software, it is a peer-to-peer protocol; as a censorship-resistant protocol, it is a peer-to-peer app; as a distributed app, it is a peer-to-peer network; as a communications network, it is a peer-to-peer language; and as a peaceful language, it is a peer-to-peer community. “The client/server fiat finance and monetary model is none of these things, cannot be any of these things, and will never be any of these things. It is a closed-source, non-consensual, censorial, centralized, incomprehensible, violent system. It is unsurprising, therefore, that its system administrators would prefer to muddy the waters on how, exactly, it all works.”
