You think joy is what happens when life gets easier. Joy is what happens when you stop requiring life to be easy.

One of the most remarkable things about Nostr is watching people collaborate and create together. I genuinely believe this is the sanest corner of social media, where optimism and joy actually thrive instead of getting drowned out. I love showing up here every morning, and it’s because we share something fundamental. We’re all here for the right reasons. We’re building something better, together. That shared purpose makes all the difference.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Also, GM!

The most valuable opportunities emerge not from credentials or platforms, but from genuine conversation between curious minds.

What Bitcoin and Nostr Did to Social Capital— Traditional networking operates on the simple premise that relationships are strategic assets. You collect connections for leverage. You position yourself between people who should probably just talk directly. Your value comes from controlling access, not from what you create. It works because platforms create artificial scarcity. Algorithms decide reach. Gatekeepers control distribution. The person who knows the right people holds real power. Nostr and Bitcoin change the underlying structure completely. There’s no platform controlling who can reach who. No algorithm to game. No gatekeeper extracting value from introductions. The architecture itself removes the scarcity that made strategic networking valuable. What emerges is different. Connections still form, but they form around proof of work instead of proximity. Someone builds something useful, shares insight that helps others, contributes signal to the conversation. The network notices. Not through strategic positioning but through actual output. Bitcoin adds a dimension traditional networks never had, immediate value settlement. When you zap someone’s work, the exchange completes right there. No social debt. No implied future favor. Just direct recognition of value created. The paradox is that trying to network strategically becomes the least effective path. There’s no chokepoint to position yourself in. No access to control. The infrastructure doesn’t support extraction. But proof of work connects naturally. Build something, people building similar things find you. Share what you’re learning, people learning the same things engage. Create value, value flows back. It’s not that everyone must build or create. Plenty of people are here to learn, to observe, to absorb information. That’s completely valid. It’s just that the networking dynamics shifted from “who you know” to “what you’ve done.” The proof of work itself becomes the connection point. The frame changed. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🚨Watch This 🚨 If our government tolerates foreign parliamentary declarations targeting American citizens for exercising constitutionally protected speech, we have already surrendered sovereignty. American discourse is governed by Americans, accountable to Americans, on American soil. Any elected official who remains silent while a foreign state names and targets our citizens has chosen their allegiance. We either defend the right of Americans to speak freely without foreign legislative interference, or we admit we are no longer a sovereign nation. Which is likely where headed with we don’t stop this Israeli BS now. Dispensationalism has poisoned the American church into abandoning the Lordship of Christ for political Zionism. We don’t owe theological loyalty to any earthly state. Our Kingdom is not of this world, and our King doesn’t share His glory with governments that reject Him. Stop letting heretical eschatology dictate your politics. Christ is Lord. Not Netanyahu. Not the Knesset. Not any flag. Your allegiance was purchased with blood at Calvary, not promised to a modern political entity that crucifies His name.
