April 4th, 2023 marked my entry into this protocol, and the evolution since then has been remarkable. As we stand at the threshold of 2026, we’re witnessing something profound. The emergence of a genuinely decentralized social infrastructure built not by venture capital, but by conviction. To the devs maintaining relays, crafting clients, and solving complex challenges without corporate backing, your work represents something rare in our digital age. This is technology as public good. Nostr isn’t just an alternative, it’s a fundamental reimagining of how sovereign individuals coordinate and communicate. #Devs #NostrDevs The future we’re building here isn’t promised. It’s earned daily through code, collaboration, and commitment to principles over profit. Repost for max signal to thank the Devs. ♻️⚡️ Happy New Year, Nostr 🎉🥳🎉🍻🎉

We’ve moved past suspicion into documentation. Your tax dollars aren’t just funding questionable organizations. They are. The paper trail exists. The budget lines are public. The connections between government agencies and NGOs operating beyond democratic accountability are mappable. This isn’t conspiracy. It’s accounting. The same system that forces you to fund operations you’d never voluntarily support is the same system that prints money when tax revenue falls short. They’ve built a machine that extracts value from your labor while simultaneously devaluing whatever they leave you with. Every person who wakes up to this mechanism asks the same question: “What’s the alternative?” And that question leads inevitably to sound money. Not because sound money is a perfect solution, but because it’s the only solution that removes the ability to fund anything without genuine, voluntary consensus. You can’t print Bitcoin. You can’t tax what you can’t control. The red pill isn’t about hating government. It’s about understanding that monetary debasement is the technology that makes involuntary funding possible at scale. Fix the money, and you automatically constrain the beast. Wake up one person. They wake up another. The network effect isn’t just technical. It’s social, political, and ultimately, liberating.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Everyone’s gonna talk about resolutions. Most will say gym, diet, the usual suspects which in itself is fine, but here’s the thing…if it’s not sustainable, you’re just performing January. So start here. Take your last dump of 2025 and flush the shit that’s been holding you back. Literally and metaphorically. I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. I do life resolutions. The kind you make with yourself and someone who’ll actually home you accountable when you’re tempted. It’ll feel uphill. Good. That’s how you know you need it. Resistance is the tax on transformation. You don’t avoid it. You pay it. So stack harder. Create more. Lead your household well. Read until your brain hurts, then read some more. Real education doesn’t come from scrolling feeds designed to rot your soul. And let’s resolve this together…grow Nostr into a space that doesn’t just tolerate difference but welcomes it. We’ve got more common ground than the culture wants us to believe. The algorithms profit from division. We don’t have to. Act like it.

Men, when’s the last time you pulled out a chair for another man?

Gm. Let’s end 2025 well and start 26’ off with a bang shall we. Goal? Grow Nostr.

Sobriety is to substances what Nostr is to legacy social platforms: both are acts of reclaiming sovereignty over systems designed to capture and exploit you.
