A long conversation on Bitcoin citadels, military technology, geopolitics, government inefficiencies, CBDCs, and the collapse of the fiat system. https://free-cities.org/rahim-taghizadegan-bitcoin-citadels-geopolitics-cbdcs/ “A dystopia always has a different side: a utopian one. The question is, is it possible to have a Bitcoin utopia while the world is dystopian? So that’s a challenge to Bitcoiners. And I think it’s a great challenge. It challenges you to think about what hyperbitcoinization may mean and what it looks like.”

On the new client Nostur, I saw for the first time that the profile has field for both a LUD-06 and a LUD-16 address. The first is a regular LNURL, the second an e-mail-like address. Damus converts LUD-16 automatically to LUD-6 when tipping a profile. Zapping posts in Damus is different, and in the public App does not work so far (does not hand over a string to a wallet). Nostur is working.

What I have learned today about NOSTR: Enter Lightening Address in "Edit profile", not Settings (I thought it would be automatically synced between alby and client, it is not). Hard to find "edit profile" - in iris.to three gray dots on profile page, in public Damus app (in contrast to testflight app) I could find no option at all. LNURL may cause issues, it seems to be better to enter a lightning address. Zap data for posts inconsistent in client (or delays).

Let's quote Murray Rothbard to celebrate his birthday: “the absurdities and the unfortunate consequences of fiat paper money would be far more evident if each province or each neighborhood or street block were to print its own currency. A more decentralized world would be far more likely to turn to sound market commodities, such as gold or silver [or Bitcoin], for its money.”
