Just finished reading this masterly tome by @Lyn Alden ….it’s required reading for anyone who wants to know how the world got into the current financial mess and what the individual can do to protect themselves from the consequences of fiat debasement and the ever increasing government and corporate attacks on our privacy.

Everyone: You’re so lucky to have ridden Bitcoin all those years. Disclosure: not my original content - copy of @Lyn Alden repost of @dlawant on ‘X’ View quoted note →

One day, when I’m not so busy having to work to mine fiat, I’m going to learn how to set up a Lightning wallet on here so I can send & receive Zaps. Might take a while as I’m not a computer expert!

Finally managed to work out why I could my Primal account but not be able to react to any posts…I was logged in with my npub and not my nsec address….works fine now!

A simple definition of religious wars: “Groups willing to kill each other’s children to determine who has the best imaginary friend”

Still having this problem. Any Nostriches out there able to help? Please? View quoted note →

Trying Primal on TestFlight but having problems. Can anyone tell me why I can read posts but when I tap a button (e.g. like, reply, zap or any of the sub-menus actions in my profile) nothing happens? Also can’t post anything. I use an iPhone12 running latest OS.

Wikileaks release of Hilary Clinton’s emails make for interesting reading. See, amongst others: https://file.wikileaks.org/file/clinton-emails/Clinton_Email_May_Release/C05739593.pdf Bottom of page 3 she says: “…our country does have a long tradition of free expression, which is enshrined in our Constitution and our law. And we do not stop individual citizens from expressing their views, no matter how distasteful they may be.” Really? Tell that to FB, Twitter and the MSM….why else are we on this protocol if her statement were true? Loads more Wikileaks releases at:

Any educators out there that can help me understand how channels work on the Lightning network? Got it set up on my Umbrel (with my BTC node) but can’t work out how to fund it or use it. Looking at those who’ve inspired me to action in past with helpful articles…such as #[0]​ #[1]​ or​ #[2]​ or other knowledgeable Nostriches please.
