Sooner or later there will be influencer marketing on nostr. Or maybe already is. Same shit that is happening on Instagram, YouTube or other places in the Internet. Your favorite follow will start praising some new service or thing that he/she has recently started using while in fact he/she received beforehand fat ln invoice on private message for pretending it's genuine. This is inevitable. Greed always finds it's way. You have been warned.

Sometimes it looks like everyone is trying to prove their maximalism is more maximalist than someone else's.

Taking responsibility of your actions, mistakes, choices, future, privacy is the only way to achieve freedom.

Bitcoin and nostr are in symbiosis

If we will have topic/feature oriented relays like fb groups gathering people around similar topic I'd love to have possibility to switch my observed/global feed on one relay only without messing up my multiple relay list. On the other hand this feature would have to be smart enough to not spam those topic oriented relays with my other usual shitposting. Is this even possible?

Need good short video about what is nostr for normies and why it's important. Any recommendations for the best ones?

What's the point of bitcoin if censorship of specific transactions can be forced on miners and majority of hashrate will be forced to obey? Did we already lost?

Is there a web page tracking and agregating all cool features that are built based on nostr? I'm thinking about utilities not clients?

Npub has no nationality. GM citizens of Nostr. ☕

The orchestra plays so loudly that no one heard the iceberg hit.

Based on recent F2Pool ofac based TX censorship. If most of hash rate is centralized in big pools/institutionals from us what stops govt to force them to censorship any transactions under threat of financial penalties or charges? For ex. 'you cannot process transaction to non-KYCed bitcoin address'. I guess UE would happily hop on that train too. Are my concerns correct? OCEAN solves this?

We should be focusing on fixing privacy on Bitcoin, avoiding censorship of transactions and ofac regulated btc mining, build more ways to obtain non-KYC BTC. Empowering entrepreneurs to accept btc as payment method, building circular economy, spread the knowledge. Not fucking starring at charts. ETF on Bitcoin or any other institutional ways of laying their hands on Bitcoin is not the kind of adoption growth we need or should be cheering about.

Reactions that I observe on every price spike on Bitcoin shows that there is still a lot of orange painted fiat maximalists in here. You just want to lure as much people as possible and drop your bags exiting to USD. Like a proper shitcoiners do.

I've just reminded myself about this badges craziness that was happening here a while ago.

I'm trying to sell my workstation since I don't need it anymore and it's still a beast. People on all those second hand markets are so fucking annoying.
