Every Bitcoin cycle creates the same seven characters, and this video absolutely roasts them before they roast each other 😅 Watch it here: Which one are you right now, and which one were you in your first cycle? #Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #HODL #SelfCustody #DigitalSovereignty #Privacy #Decentralisation

Nostr: Watching Iran being cut off from the internet while women and ordinary people fight for freedom is horrifying. A blackout is a weapon, it silences evidence and isolates people. If you can: amplify Iranian voices, share verified updates, support digital rights groups, and keep your platforms talking about it. YUNGBLUD said it best in this clip: nobody is free until we are all free. #Iran #WomenLifeFreedom #InternetFreedom #HumanRights #DigitalRights #Censorship #Freedom #Solidarity

Been testing Zorin OS and honestly, this is the closest I’ve felt to “Linux for normal people” without the usual headaches. It gives me that Windows 10 comfort, but without the bloat and nonsense. Watch: Have you tried Zorin yet, or are you still hunting for a distro that just behaves? #Linux #ZorinOS #FOSS #OpenSource #DigitalSovereignty #SelfHosting

This is interesting, I genuinely had no idea Punkt even made a proper "secure smartphone" like this. I've just stumbled on the Punkt MC02, a privacy-first, Google-free 5G phone running Apostrophy OS, built around the idea that you should not be the product. I'm tempted to make it my next phone, but I'm doing the homework first: updates, app compatibility, battery life, and what the "secure" bits actually mean in day-to-day use. Anyone here using a Punkt as their daily driver, MC02 or even the MP02 minimalist phone? #Privacy #DigitalFreedom #Punkt #DeGoogled #SelfSovereignty #TechEthics #Surveillance

5 reasons Bitcoin could go parabolic in 2026 👀 Institutional demand keeps rising, supply keeps tightening, and the macro cracks are getting louder. Add ETFs, sovereign interest, and a public that no longer trusts fiat, and things get spicy fast. Are we early, or just finally paying attention?

Yeah, this really is a piss take, and you’re right to be angry. I get that HSBC has a duty to keep accounts secure. Nobody is arguing against fraud protection. But scanning your device for unrelated apps, judging where they came from, then locking you out of your own money crosses a serious line. Bitwarden is a respected, open source password manager. Treating that as suspicious behaviour is absurd. Worse, it sets a precedent where banks decide what software you’re allowed to run on your own phone. That’s not security, that’s control. If access to your money depends on complying with a bank’s idea of “approved thinking”, then something has gone badly wrong. This is exactly why people are losing trust in centralised systems and looking for alternatives. View quoted note →

Interesting thought I'll have to do more research but would be cool and needed for security and privacy and something we should think about before quantum computer become powerful enough to crack nostr View quoted note →

Social Media is Dead. Long Live Social Protocols. From algorithmic censorship to ad-fueled lock-in, the social media status quo is broken. In this episode, we trace the collapse of legacy platforms like TikTok and YouTube, examine rising alternatives like Mastodon and Nostr, and unveil a new path forward: OmniSocial, a decentralised Protocol for sovereign Identity, creator-first monetisation, and trusted community reputation. Whether you're a builder, a creator, or just someone tired of being owned by platforms, you'll want to hear this. 🛠 Explore the Protocol:

I am trying to move my content fully onto Nostr and I could really use some guidance from people who are further along than me. I am looking for Nostr native or Nostr aligned alternatives to the following platforms: YouTube TikTok Twitch Podcasting Instagram My goal is not just to mirror content, but to make what I create work naturally within the Nostr ecosystem where identity, reach and interaction are not owned by a platform. If you know of good tools, clients, services or workflows that already support this, or are being built right now, I would love to hear about them. Even experimental projects are welcome. I am especially interested in things that respect self custody, open protocols and creator control. Any pointers, links or personal experiences would be massively appreciated. #Nostr #Decentralisation #CreatorEconomy #OpenProtocols #SelfHosting #Bitcoin

This clip shows how working people get crushed by taxes and still struggle to afford basic living costs. You work more, earn more, and somehow end up with less. Something is clearly broken. Watch here: #CostOfLiving #Tax #WorkingClass
