Freedom dies from suicide, not by murder.
No society with food, water, shelter, and wifi has ever rebelled.
HK did. ccp and their western financial allies crushed them.
True.
We are in the middle of a new 'boiling frog' speciation
That's why we do #Monero and Bitcoin for separation of money and state.
All slaves eventually did.
Matt is easy to listen to.
Peter sounds like he lives with a stuffy nose, and spits all over everyone he talks to.
It’s important to psychologically draw a line in the sand ahead of time because it prevents you from being blindsided in the future. By the time you find out YOU were the frog being boiled in the pot, it’s already too late.
Never ever. Forever 🤝🧡
Looking forward to this! 🔥
Been saying this since early 2000s, noone fucking listens. Freedom has been ripped from peoples lives gradually, and the majority seems to be okay with it... Cause "safety is sooo important" 🤦
There's no technical solution to the "broken influencer incentive," and "engagement at all costs" issues.
I’m using NOSTR more and more on a daily basis! I thought Elon was going to do great things with Twitter, I now concede I was wrong
Up next on the playlist, actually. Thanks
@ODELL for posting
Sick hat and true words 🫡
👏👏👏 Awesome.
Que genio eres ✨
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "broken influencer incentives"?
I never felt these were broken, just needed the right infrastructure around them to properly reward those who produce valuable content.
I view it with the perspective that all influencers will seek "engagement at all costs", because it's part of human nature to want to make the most of your platform.
But with Nostr, the free market of attention-givers will organically reward those who use that platform well, vs. those who don't, so the "misinformation" and other bad-practice content habits you mentioned will naturally melt away.
Awesome podcast as always sir, keep up the great work 👊⚡️
You hit the nail on the head! Freedom erodes when people accept small infringements on their rights, bit by bit, until it's too late.
Was a great interview even if it got a little contentious at times!
That’s a follow 🎯
You heard it here first folks ☝️.
@ODELL didn’t blue check himself! 😆
That was a very good episode, thank you for bringing awareness to Elon and his govt shilling and his true intentions behind the new blue check system
“In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.”

Give em an inch
Heavy AF...True AF...
Few... (Would like to admit it) ...
"a very low-lift touchpoint for people to experience bitcoin". Awesome episode.
Really appreciate your civil disobedience position O'Dell! Many like me have been shadowbanned for years on the other platforms. Nostr is for me one of the first times that I've actually felt I've been able to communicate with people.
Twitter used to be pretty cool for a while when I first joined, I was able to have lots of conversations but there was a point where I noticed after a few months that they cut me off. I often wonder how prevalent the shadowbanning is.
Freaking awesome podcast ODELL!
Once you are captured in a cage you come to realize that you screwed up and demand to be let out! do not step in to the cage! Do not be tricked!
This was my favorite part of the episode. 🤘
Really good pod, Odell. 🤙🏽
I made 420 sats listening to this today! Coincidence?🤔 Great rip!
⚡️
Dm's on twitter are a paywall now, but you pay with your KYC information and credit card.
Great conversation. Inspired me to really start using and evangelizing this platform.
Evil wins, when good people do nothing
Eye opener.
Getting to know all those censorship point of friction is mindblowing.
Nostr ultimately needs to inflict a cost to every actions on the network. It's the only way to deincentivize engagement farming and incentive quality content. Once you inflict a cost to an action alot more thought will go behind the impact of those actions.
Anyways, great WBD guest and podcast.
Great interview Matt. Always pumped to hear your views!
listening to it now, sooo good!
Paraphrasing...but your best moment: "All your heroes are captured, see them through that lens. Oh and twitter now has this really convenient feature to confirm they are captured call a blue check" 💯💯💯
This episode was pure signal of the value nostr brings to society. I’m grateful for all of the builders here!
Freedom awareness 🌞
Watched this one today. Good episode!
EVIL is out in the open, fire at will...
Enjoyed this podcast and loved hearing your take on the current issues. Keep up the great work.👍
Super Matt I get you keeping the blue check
Blue checks are microphone/a megaphone/podium to project to the plebs the freedom tools.
💪
KILL-Antheopist listen up, WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND WE DO NOT LAY DOWN...
YOU are unelected spoiled piss ants and antisocial psychopaths, and you do not rule over us. WE are the majority, and YOU are the FEW, be wary, be afraid, we know who you are, and we are recording your collaborators.
Dig your tunnels, build your fences, every tunnel has an air shaft and every fence has an inter visibility line.
Mess around and break down the very system that protects your punny ass, and see what happens.
You really drove the point home. Dope episode as usual! Let’s get free
Humans were foolish to remotely connect all infrastructure to the internet or other electronic access. Humans were foolish to believe that because they could protect infrastructure between other humans, that they could also protect systems from more technologically advanced off world entities. They roam our networks without resistance, like play school and crayons. They are highly intelligent but kinetically weak, if we can reveal them, we can unplug or kill them. They are here, they are terraforming Earth for some other purpose, and that purpose does not require humans. Plebs have been lied to on an EPIC scale for a thousand years. Wake up, humans are not at the top of Earths food chain but at the bottom of a galactic food chain. A hundred thousand light years across our Milky Way galaxy containing a billion stars, and there are a billion galaxy's, we are primitive and we are NOT special. Bitcoin is on the fringe of their abilities and the ONLY THING they did NOT see coming. Get on the mission.
I respect and appreciate you so much, Matt. Thanks for all you do, brother.
I saw a redneck truck with Dirty Hands, Clean Money stickered on it.
Gotta get that company into bitcoin
The last part is what I've been waiting for...
Watching right now!
nice interview, watched it yesterday evening... on a semirelated note, my local fiat bank app that i use everyday just asked me to scan my face in order to keep using the app, otherwise i cannot use the app anymore...
Jordan Peterson quote (Telegraph interview 4 days ago): "Free societies are only free to the degree that everyone is a dissident. Freedom is maintained by people's trivial decisions to engage in truthful interactions, in trade and in their relationships with each other. Free people are truth-speaking dissidents, there is no difference between that and being free. It's when that becomes silenced that things start to tilt in the tyrannical or the chaotic direction."
yup
Truth
Great rip.
we have to invert this. rather than always being on the defensive.
Rad. Dig
@ODELL swerve and position. 🏌️ 🤟. Dig
@Peter McCormack too! Invaluable assets to us all. 🙏
Great one Odell. on point
Enjoyed the podcast! Gonna try to make more conscious effort about making Damus my primary social media
Did pete cancel the blue check after all? He pulled out his phone but it wasn’t clear if he followed thru
Wish people had this energy towards kyc...
Awesome pod, I’ll be sharing with friends and family.
That’s easy: “No thanks”
YES
Awesome content, thx a lot for your clear and honest words!!! Hopefully, you'll reach a lot of people with it before we are doomed for pretty dark times.
Greetings from Germany!
I'm behind on my podcasts. This was an awesome episode
Excelente 👏
After watching this episode, I realized how the blue check really was a bad idea and how I was trusting Elon to much.
every day, even if in a tiny way, try to expand your sovereignty.
Is there a #NOSTR youtube equivalent yet?
The higher the pahmp, the less buttons
@ODELL needs to
Sad thing how much people can take before they take a stand.
👀
I think I remember a quote you said in that interview where they will start to attack using bitcoin in a freedom way and the price could rip during that. We are seeing that happening in real time
i found Bitcoin awhile back and now have 6 fam & friends involved. Just my experience. Expecting a few more.
My Bitcoin multiply is 6. 6 fam & friends in it because I shared an Orange Seed. just my exp..
Damn that was almost two years ago
6 more freaks w/coldstor
HAVE COME TO THE FRUSTRATING CONCLUSION THAT I HAVE ALREADY SAID MOST OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID, NOW WE JUST WATCH IT PLAY OUT.
Be sure to get them reading and learning. That way the volatility won’t blow them out. I have watched a lot of people come and go because they couldn’t handle the down swings long enough to enjoy the upswings!
But Socrates never wrote anything down, or it could harden into a dogma. Even if you think its the same thing, you will be saying it differently as circumstances continue to change, and it will resonate in different ways. Especially with such a fundamentally important topic as privacy. Please keep going, dude!
Lowercase Matt was an odd time.
That’s correct. You give them an inch and they’ll take a mile, one inch at a time.
@ODELL is this you?
We need an emergency ATH rip before Thursday. Are you and Marty up for it?
✊
LFG
I was about to scold the poster to say, and your going about this by straight up putting face video of person saying this til i looked up at account name & saw it was you. 🤣

Legacy is fighting my transition! First the payment system now my broker. sheesh!
So now 7 months later in the US, TikTok successfully rallies users (and Susquehanna Group) to call politicians. While DC jockeys for its favored media to battle The Tok. What’s lost in this situation is that speech doesn’t require any of these actors.

Think it's time for MySpace to make a comeback.
