How do you ethically concile being a hardcore bitcoiner and working a fiat job where you have to push fiat bullshit (such as sustainability and climate change) ?

1) The free-market competition between different stakeholders to offer the best Nostr client, which is beneficial to consumers. 2) Scalability of the protocol commands more relays. We need plug-and-play (umbrel style) relays activation 3) UX around key-pair generation/ storage. View quoted note →

I believe that one important vector to increase Nostr adoption is building extra-bitcoin communities, especially in Sports. Personally, one reason I keep going back to twitter is because I love Football and Formula1 and I have to get the latest news about Scuderia Ferrari and Real Madrid from specialized accounts on twitter

When your money is taken out of your pocket through mandatory taxes in order to "support" and "aid" an unemployed parasite, it is as though you were robbed by a thief who votes a dictator to office in order to strip out of your money.

Instead of encouraging individual responsibility and long-term proof-of-work to solve problematic behavioral problems, the fiat world wants you to short-circuit everything using drugs, effectively avoiding the hard-work and seeking immediate gratification. Ozempic, a new weight-loss drug : image

While everyone has Hitler at the back of his imagination when talking about the far right, there is a case to be made that one of our 21st century cultural failures is not to have pushed a similar & clear 1-1 subconscious association between the far left and Stalin

Bolsheviks used to depict everything they were fighting against as "bourgeois" Today's bolsheviks depict everything they oppose as "right-wing extremism" and "far-right"
