I had the feeling, based on all the facts, logic and common sense I could gather in. 2011 When Steve Jobs died and Apple had a P/E value of 7. 2013 When Tesla was listed on the exchange. 2020 When Nvidia attempted to buy ARM and Neural Networks started to show promising signs. 2025 Arm listing, Gold and Silver. Today more than ever I have the same feeling with Monero. I know, people have said it over and over for years. One thing is FCMP++, Bulletproof*, post quantum efforts which are really great news and improvements. But, what I think can really break the barrier for monero and send monero up in the top 6 above XRP in the short term 0.5-2 years (10X), is: - A greater reach than ever before, alone here on Nostr. But, also more mention in general. Even though it's small, the right people have a better chance of hearing about monero. - Debanked influencers, some mention Monero, others just show how easily you could get debanked. - The hack of Thorchain the day after their announcement of listing XMR, might show us that more sketchy stuff is going on in the CEX's to manipulate the price than we could ever have imagined. Even in the case of Serai or Thorchain dragging things out, monero will eventually have it's right price set in the DEX's. - EU and US unhinged confiscation of reserves, property and crypto of foreign nationals and nations. #xmr #monero

Anyone aware of when Thorchain plans to list XMR or Serai plans to launch? When an exchange is hacked and taken down for a whole month, 24 hours after they announce their plans to list xmr. You get the feeling that larger forces are at play here. The last I heard were that they will put specific additional fees on xmr swaps?!

@Amethyst have given the option of adding other cryptos than the L2 BTC lightning address. That's the way to do it, nostr should never have been a vehicle to promote an L2 to BTC in the first place.

There are two types of wealthy people in this world. If you don't know the difference between the two, you will spend your life as a doormat at one of them, a cock sucking degraded Lolita, robbed off of time, money and honor. There is the guy who help people, he is trusted and hired for all tasks. He provide value to the world, he is often willing to help out and work for free as he is passionated. He is also financially intelligent, has scaled his businesses or invested wisely. He is curious, sincere, skeptical and aware. He is grounded and seek friends based on person and not profession. Then there is the scammer. He has spend his whole life, starting in early childhood on speculating in how to scam, manipulate and hustle his surroundings. Always looking for people who can provide financial value to him. He has no deeper values, all his ideals are superficial and hollow. Don't glorify wealth. It is the certain way to ruin.

Sometimes you get baffled by the lack of foresight, imagination, product knowledge and creative thinking, the CEO's of some of the biggest companies are in possession of. Most of the time they sound like 3 year old LLM models. Big IT company: "You are allowed to use AI now, ask your manage for access to Chat GBT if you need it. We want to be on the forefront of the AI development!" We are going to see a hugh wave companies die a sudden death the next couple of years.

You can literally live an anonymous existence. If you ever encounter anything you can't find (I doubt) you just offramp to an anonymous CC or use one of the many Proxy Shoppers/Shippers

If you are about to have children, learn them the difference between Real and Fake. Till your child reaches 5 years of age and the pressure from their peers starts to kick in. - Never say "Because I say so", that will make them blindly obedient to authority without questioning or rational argumentation. - Learn them that the treatment of symptoms will never end well. Seek the root causes of any problem and they will be able to fix or understand almost anything. - Don't introduce them to dystopian Disney movies, Hollywood movies (Where both parents are killed and the child is abused). Feed them with entertainment with real life problems and dilemmas and usable knowledge. - Don't feed them with processed food and beverage. Introduce them to real unprocessed food. Demand that they always taste it before the say they don't like it. Gradually they'll appreciate it more and more, to the point where food with a Maggi cube tastes fake to them. - Learn them the difference between real and fake; laminated plastic that looks like wood or steel is fake, average people who portrays as rich buying beyond their means are actually poor (also on a spiritual level) etc. The school, media and society will do anything to unlearn them each of these skills again. But, they will stick with them, for their benefit and success for the rest of their life.

If you are not satisfied with your self, how can you ever expect anyone else to be?

So, what will happen when you tell the slaves "You are free now, I will not sustain your living anymore, I can not, you will be replaced by some highly effective humanoids"?

One of the great advantages living in the EU is the freedom of movement. I could as a Finnish citizens buy some land in French Guiana (South America) or La Reunion and live in a remote village where most people still don't own a smart phone yet. No application, no visa, no nothing. The general stupidity and tyranny of Brussels, will still have a long way to go, manifesting it self in these rural areas.

Sometimes you get a feeling that 80% of the BTC maxi's, could as easily have been BlackRock or TSLA maxis if just a cult were built around those. This really seems like an steep uphill battle for the OG's.

You are not a rootless, soulless, cultureless, familyless, historyless, homeless, atheist, cosmopolitan, globalist nobody. They will do anything to feed you that idea with their slob news, slob music, slob movies, slob food and contra fact history. "They" are the transnational rootless criminals. Embrace real culture, real history, real music, real food and old movies. There is nothing to be ashamed of, only things to be proud of no matter where you live.

We are steadily moving in to a time where specialists and high degrees have 0 value. But, generalists who have rejected anyone's approval will triumph. The bots produced by schooling, has been made obsolete by AI and the grounded, independent, self aware, curious, critical thinking individual will succeed.

You really don't have to recognize their authority. It all starts by not giving away your voice/vote every fourth year or so. Respect is something to be earned.

Nostr is not the problem. It is the client side. If the users were more coordinated in funding clients like @ɱonstr and @Amethyst things would be on the right track. Currently it seems to be only Mossad/Israel affiliated funding (as most mediums).
