Hey you! Look at this Bit-Koi

One more grass roots Bitcoin Meetup took place. 20 people more that know about Bitcoi ⚡️⚡️ The core of my presentation was this: If VISA is a gladiator in the payment rails market, #Bitcoin is the Colosseum. Bitcoin is not just a competitor; instead it is the place where others go to compete. Always a blast organizing these small events; curious people show up with engaging conversations, fresh perspectives and insights. Following my talk, nostr:nprofile1qqsfdajjyjdsj3hp2awh329uw3gpy0ywvncu2mmt97fmcglmyj0dskspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqmxksmr stepped up with his own and shared his insights into #NOSTR and the brilliance of a decentralized #digitalID, where our personal data isn't owned by a handful of gatekeeper companies. Instead, digital presence is wholly controlled by the individual. Eugene is an active NOSTR developer, and it’s always a amazing hearing from those who have real experience and are walking the walk.

Bitcoin just got another lawyer! After 4 years, 2 degrees and a year of Bar Practice I am a certified lawyer! In University, I specialised in Technology Law and Innovation. Now, I am all in professionally into the Bitcoin economy. By the end of the year, 20 companies more will be accepting Bitcoin as payment and it will be because of me! Here also me for the first time trying a head stand on a SUP board😄

Western Governments Do Not Make Mistakes. They are infallible! Since they can print, they dodge real accountability. Paper over deficits, monetise mistakes, socialise losses. Reset the scoreboard through dilution. What “divine right” was to unelected monarchs, “legal mandate” now is to unelected central bankers. Royal power rested on the “divine right of kings”; authority portrayed as God‑given. A sacral aura that dulled scrutiny. When that shattered, another shield was improvised by the elite: technocratic, fiscal, monetary exceptionalism. Familiar? Today: - Errors are “managed” via balance‑sheet expansion ( fancy words ). - We debate price symptoms and dodge questioning structural design. - Accountability is lost in the fog. Kings invoked God, central banks now invoke statute. Different language, similar insulation of power. Enter Bitcoin - not utopian but a structural counter‑proposal: - Rules that cannot be quietly rewritten mid‑cycle. - Fixed issuance, not elastic promises. - Permissionless final settlement. - An auditable ledger that resists politically convenient amnesia. Separating Money & State rhymes with separating Church & State. Legitimacy moving from abstract decrees to transparent, verifiable rules, not to enthrone a new “infallible” authority, but to narrow discretionary abuse. We don’t need “infallible” governments. We need institutions that can’t silently tax through dilution. History didn’t end with ending divine rights. It won’t stop with stopping Quantitative Easing. #Bitcoin #History #FrenchRevolution #MonetaryPolicy #Accountability #Innovation #Governance

Bitcoin is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object. While the western countries use capital controls in an infallible, selfless, non-arbitrary way that has never once been corrupted and only used for altruistic good; less fortunate people in North African countries, Lebanon, Turkey, China, and countless others are subjugated to arbitrary capital controls that prevent individuals from taking money out solely for the interests of their “leaders.” At the end of the day, Bitcoin bypassing capital controls isn’t about whether it is good or bad, but whether anyone can actually stop it. The answer is no.   You wouldn’t blame aerodynamics for lifting enemy planes that harm us, so why blame Bitcoin for enabling sovereign capital movement for everyone? #capitalcontrols #propertyrights #memes #bitcoin #europe #westerncountries #btc #plebchain #primal #damus #amethyst #grownostr #asknostr #democracy

If I had a #sat for every time I said #Bitcoin, I'd be a #wholecoiner by now. #btc #plebchain #primal #grownostr #asknostr

When will there be the next Satoshi moment? What will it be about? #bitcoin #europe #btc #plebchain #primal #grownostr #asknostr #democracy

Do you want to hop on the trend? Trade Bitcoin. Do you want to have money? Buy Bitcoin. Do you want to earn money? Work for Bitcoin. Do you want to outpace all markets? Invest in Bitcoin. Do you want to see the true value of things? Count in Bitcoin. Do you want to innovate your business? Integrate Bitcoin. Do you want to be part of a natively global market? Accept Bitcoin. Do you want to increase your profit margins? Sell for Bitcoin. Do you want to shield yourself from inflation? HODL Bitcoin. Do you want to secure your wealth? Store Bitcoin. Do you want to see your life become cheaper? Adopt Bitcoin. Do you want to be independent? Own Bitcoin. Do you want to invest in the future? Stack Bitcoin. Do you want to be part of a revolution? Revolt with Bitcoin. This applies to individuals companies and countries alike!

Don’t wanna be injecting my opinion in this post, I just want to hear what do you have to say. Is Bitcoin the peak of materialism or is it the wholy rejection of the concept? Thoughts? #asking #askingNOSTR #plebchain

#Freedom is something we were born with. Still, freedom can be taken from us or handed over.

This has been the third Bitcoin meetup I've organised! There is nothing better than being part of a grass root movement you believe in!! We talked about Real Estate and Bitcoin. Great people, fun times! Till the next one!!! nostr:nprofile1qqstpv9uz6w4r8gd4uaa447x8uzf85vzxafeg77dxhnzl5zn0nwfvpspzdmhxue69uhhymre9e3x7urvdchxxmmdqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxyhxymmvwshx7cnnv4e8vetjlnsfc8 #realestate #Bitcoin #sovereignty

Constraints Drive Innovation—And That’s Why Bitcoin Thrives Limits spark creativity. It’s a simple truth: when we’re forced to work within constraints, we innovate. Bitcoin’s design is built on this principle, and it’s what keeps the network secure, decentralized, and constantly evolving. Take *block size*, for example. The limited space in each block pushes developers to find smarter solutions, like SegWit and the Lightning Network, to make transactions more efficient. Without this constraint, we wouldn’t have the same drive to optimize, and Bitcoin would be bloated and less decentralized. Or look at *OP_RETURN*, which allows us to embed data in transactions. The limited space forces us to get creative, encoding metadata compactly to enable things like NFTs and timestamping without overwhelming the blockchain. If there were no limits, the network would be flooded with unnecessary data, making it harder for people to run nodes and keep Bitcoin decentralized. And then there’s *mining difficulty*. The constant adjustment ensures blocks are found every 10 minutes, no matter how much hashing power is in play. This competition pushes miners to innovate with better hardware and energy solutions, keeping the network secure and decentralized. Without this constraint, mining would stagnate, and the network would be weaker for it. And let’s not forget Bitcoin’s ultimate constraint: *its fixed supply of 21 million coins*. This hard cap is the foundation of its value. Unlike fiat currencies that can be printed endlessly, Bitcoin’s scarcity forces us to rethink how we store and transfer wealth. It drives innovation in how we use money—whether it’s through layer-2 solutions like Lightning, or new financial tools built on Bitcoin. The fixed supply also incentivizes long-term thinking and saving, creating a system where value grows over time instead of being eroded by inflation. Without this constraint, Bitcoin would just be another currency, not the revolutionary form of money it is today. Bitcoin’s constraints aren’t flaws—they’re features. They force us to think smarter, build better, and innovate constantly. That’s why Bitcoin continues to thrive. If you believe in the power of innovation through limits, share this and let’s keep the conversation going. Bitcoin’s future depends on people who understand why its design matters. Any tother constraints Bitcoin has that I missed? If you find this post helpful, please repost and interact with it. I am taking this nostr social media seriously and I'd like some feedback! #Bitcoin #21Million #ProofOfWork #DecentralizedMoney #plebchain #BitcoinInnovation #SoundMoney #Nostr #BitcoinCommunity #vegas

When you think about Bitcoin as the foundation of the monetary system, it’s really about the start of a new, emerging global system of governance and government. Do you understand? #nostr #plebchain #privacy #Bitcoin #globalgov #digitalpolity #softwar

Instagram’s algorithm isn’t just watching, it’s dissecting you. Here’s the breakdown of how it decides what you see, based on patents and patterns (Meta won’t admit all of this, but the evidence and ability is there): What It Tracks: - Every tap: Likes, comments, shares, saves—even how long you stare at a post or Reel. Skip something? It logs that too. - Content DNA: Captions, hashtags, sounds, and even objects in photos/videos (AI scans visuals). - Your habits: Who you follow, what you search, when you’re active, and whether you binge Reels or scroll Stories. - It has the ability to analyse when and to what you zoom in, any selected text or click patterns, any searches you make, or whether you raise the phone's volume, any idle time, revisits of posts/ accounts, app hopping/ closing (and what type of content were you watching before closing the app), facial expressions, ad engagement, your interaction with your network, your geological data, when (in the day or month) do you watch the most with the app and the type of content you tend to watch at different times, and even background noises, or even lighting. What It Builds - Behavioral blueprint: Predicts your triggers (e.g., fitness content at 6 AM, memes at midnight). - Echo chamber map: Feeds you more of what you engage with, burying opposing views. Or, if you are responsive to controversy, bury you in it. What It Hides - Anything that it discerns it might take tou off the app. - Low-quality posts, but *only if* they’re not viral enough to bypass filters. The Creepy Part It cross-references data with your network (what friends like) and location. Even your internet speed might tweak what you see. Bottom line: You’re not just a user—you’re a behavioral dataset. And the algorithm’s #1 goal? Keep you scrolling. #InstagramAlgorithm #AI #YoureTheProduct #nostr #plebchain #privacy #Bitcoin

Instagram qnd other centralised soxial media platforms, don’t just track surface-level interactions like likes or comments. Through their patented technologies, they construct a detailed behavioral profile by analyzing every aspect of your activity—what you watch, how long you watch, what you skip, and who you engage with. They even track the themes or visual styles that capture your attention. This results in a digital representation of you, designed to predict and serve content that keeps you engaged, creating an echo chamber tailored to your habits. You’re not merely scrolling; you’re being observed and influenced. Nostr, on the other hand, offers a fundamentally different approach to social media. Built on a decentralized protocol, it eliminates algorithms, behavioral tracking, and echo chambers. Instead, it empowers users with full control over their data and content. While individual clients on Nostr could introduce algorithms, the decentralized nature ensures you’re free to choose alternatives without interference or manipulation. It’s a platform where your digital experience is determined by you, not by hidden systems or middlemen. #InstagramAlgorithm #AI #EchoChamber #Decentralization #SocialMedia #Nostr

Bitcoin is all about #grass root adoption and initiatives. I am glad to have contributed to that through organising a local #Bitcoin #meetup in Limassol. Made a presentation named "Why Bitcoin" where I shared my views as to how Bitcoin benefits th Environment, the Economy, Society and as a conclusion the Individual. Can't wait for the next one!⚡ #plebchain #events #education
