I'm never deleting my Nostr. That's how you miss a scam pumping.

What's more important to Bitcoin's future: 1) figuring out how to build scalable self-custodial systems that can survive in a hostile environment, and hopefully help prevent protocol consensus being captured by state politics, and BRINGING THAT TO THE MASSES OR 2) crying on social media to a tiny group of a few thousand out of touch people all coping with the fact that Bitcoin is growing beyond them, and they are not the center of its universe anymore, for internet micro celebrity points Hmm? Which one do you think leads to a future of Bitcoin thriving as a global apolitical money?

I'm running Core 30.0. Feels good man. Cry harder useful idiot statist cucks.

Nostr devs are fucking retarded.

Nostr shouldnt be organized like Twitter, it should be organized like Reddit.

LOLOL. Literally first 10 seconds of Mechanics new deranged rant: "You might be surprised about how I feel about Bitcoin, because there's what I say publicly, but then there's how I actually feel." Okay, so you're a liar and disingenuous. Got it.

I love when people call me a spammer/scammer/jpeg person/etc. People demonstrating a willingness to lie/invent nonsense is just telling on themselves with regards to their own character. The last time I sold or profited from an NFT was in 2016. Every other one I've ever owned I still have, and I always will. They are not investments to me, or something to profit from. They are novelties. They are gifts from friends. They're stupid little mementos from different periods of history in Bitcoin I've lived through. So to all the clowns who constantly whip out those labels because they are incapable of making any logical or principled argument whatsoever: I challenge you to show me a single example of me shilling jpegs or scamming people. You can't.

Wake me up when any business that matters (I.E. not OCEAN) is running Knots.

Here comes the first article in the Bitcoin Layer 2 series for @BitcoinMagazine. Here I go through the Ark protocol, the newest Layer 2 protocol for the Bitcoin Network. Ark is both very different from, but also similar to Lightning. Find the article below:

The Clock Is Ticking While You Do Nothing

Bitcoin doesn't exist in a vacuum, the real world continues closing ranks around it as we dawdle and waste time.

Today is the day Satoshi announced an unstoppable decentralized monetary protocol. Something that would enable people to send money to anyone in the world without any third party being able to stop them. Use it for what it was meant to be used for. Yusef Mahmoud is a Palestinian cab driver who has been helping feed civilians I'm Gaza for a year now. You can donate to help him here: https://btcpay.foragoodcause.xyz/apps/37W6GRGutGU9a4F61uHeFcjHFyQv/crowdfund Twitter verification here: https://x.com/BTCPalestine/status/1851774634410066184?t=koXYAvbCqoWT2tF6227bgA&s=19

So I have been thinking lately, and I'm pretty confident at this point that a relatively private overlay protocol can be done on top of Nostr for people in dangerous situations. It would not be cleanly interoperable with conventional users.

I wonder what effect federated bonds would have in the world of scientific research. Bond some portion of research grants and timelock them. Path A, researcher can claim funds after timelock. Path B, funds can be claimed by oracles and paid out to anyone proving research fraud.
