Node Network following pack for those active on Nostr! https://following.space/d/bq5mfqbwcetz?p=f609d58b4253458768d9baf1b28ab4dfb5f6e690d99bb2760c83de3a840c3ea2

Why is nostr.com still referring to "social media", instead of fixing the internet? On the official website (npub1c878wu04lfqcl5avfy3p5x83ndpvedaxv0dg7pxthakq3jqdyzcs2n8avm) This is the preview when people search for it:

Not your keys, but your coins. — Even though the coins are just strings of code and math, but we value it because of verifiable scarcity. Not your keys, not your account. — Even though the account is just a string of code and a record of notes, but we value it because of verifiable reputation. It’s all about the value we create for our keys, and the value others attach to these digital abstract artifacts.

Sometimes moments of gratitude fill my morning. For the freedom to work fulltime for bitcoin and at the same time travel. With this year trips coming up to Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Norway, El Salvador, USA and Canada. Currently escaping Dutch winter in Gran Canaria Thanks, Satoshi!

🤯 Scarcity in perspective. What does it really mean? Let's compare BITCOIN with our PLANET. And then specifically the 21 million BTC with the surface of 510 million km². This includes 71% water, 29% of land surface. If you own 1 BTC today (worth $100.000), you own something equal to the islands of Tuvalu. And if you own 100 BTC today (worth $10 million), you own something equal to Luxembourg. 1 BTC = Tuvalu (25 km²) 🇹🇻 10 BTC = Palau (459 km²) 🇵🇼 100 BTC = Luxembourg (2,586 km²) 🇱🇺 1,000 BTC = North Macedonia (25,713 km²) 🇲🇰 10,000 BTC = UK 🇬🇧 210,000 BTC = Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 393,000 BTC = USA 🇺🇸, China 🇨🇳 411,600 BTC = Canada 🇨🇦 → MicroStrategy is here 703,500 BTC = Russia 🇷🇺 7M BTC = all LAND For comparison: 🇳🇱 The Netherlands is ~41,543 km², which equals 1.701 BTC 🇸🇻 El Salvador is ~21,041 km², which equals 861 BTC

⚡️ 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! I want to send $1 of #bitcoin to all 196 countries on the planet. I need YOUR help! Reply on this thread with: 1. The country you are from 2. An invoice, or LN address Please first read the rules below! ⬇️🚨 For full transparency, all results will be updated in this spreadsheet. ⬇️ But ... why? I believe this is never done yet, and the world should know that bitcoin does really work: ➖ as a global neutral currency. ➖ as a global payment system.

Global Lightning Experiment

🆘 Please tag people from the smaller and less-known countries below, so we can find all 196 of them! I'm aware that I can never be 100% sure that people are honest, but I trust bitcoiners to not cheat for $1. I may check profiles, activity and mutual followers! Optionally, I want to receive money as well. But to not be perceived as a scam, this is not my main goal, but rather an extension of the experiment. Send $1 to 4rnold@blink.sv, with your country in the payment description if you want! I'll track this in the spreadsheet too. Let's do this together! Reply on this thread with: 1️⃣ The country you're from, preferably with some proof. 2️⃣ An invoice (with expiration of 24h, or LN address), preferably from a self-hosted wallet. First come (by country), first serve! Please note this also runs on Twitter, so check if cour country has been paid/confirmed already. 🚀⚡️𝐋𝐄𝐓'𝐒 𝐆𝐎! 💥🌍 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

If you want to ossify bitcoin (freez the code), you don't understand that its environment is changing constantly. War on privacy will continue War on self-custody will continue War on MSB's will continue So maybe bitcoin(s features) should evolve too?
