#[0] welcome to nostr.

Quick PSA for new nostriches. NOSTR is excellent at being a decentralized / censorship resistant way to broadcast information. NOSTR is quite unprivate, and what you broadcast is permanent (no take-backs). DMs are private as long as both parties private keys are secure, however everyone can see who has been talking to who.

Elon really making the case for nostr these days 😂.. $44B self sabotage.

So btc teleports looks super interesting... are their smart people that can ELI5? I kinda understand how it's supposed to work.. will it actually work?

If you were going to stop bitcoin, how would you do it? Any attack vector that either destroys economic value or destabilized the network sufficiently is game.

Lots of talk about #[0] and this vaccine card app. Don't be too quick to draw unwarranted conclusions.. 2 points to make. Vaccine cards and other things like this were / are a reality... a consumer facing app that helps them manage those is not exactly supporting them, it's giving people who are stuck with them a tool to manage what has been forced on them. I don't know the full extent of the app so I can't say for sure that this applies. As a young man I believed many lies.. I joined the navy and had a job very similar to Edward Snowden. I believed I would be protecting freedom around the world, and only learned later over several years the falsity of my beliefs. People can have their worldviews altered and should be given space to do so.

That feeling when you wake up with no counterparts risk.

Is ministry of nodes on nostr? I'm on video 3 of their Ubuntu nodebox series and it is absolutely awesome.. I'm ssh'ing in to an Ubuntu server, making and editing text files from command line. Seriously, go to you tube. Watch the videos. Support their work.

Circle just confirmed that they lost about $3.3B of their $40B reserves due to SVB. 1 usdc = $0.92

Usdc is depegging - exchange rate on gemini.

Letting banks fail effectively results in the uninsired balances getting deleted from the economy.. Perhaps forcing bank failures is part of the strategy to fight inflation.

Pretty wild that the silvergate collapse is being used by politicians to try and ban institutions from using any crypto (including #btc). So far at least... the silvergate collapse has been the model of how this should happen.. business unsustainable, depositors unharmed, stock holders taking the loss... perfect wind down.

Will blue wallet lightning continue to work if you're using your own node? I had been using it custodially till recently, but just finished getting software set up to run my own node, should the wallet work non-custodially?
