What was once considered a voice from god can now be seen with technology. With a single thought, brainwaves will reveal themselves like terrain lines on a topographical map, but the fact that we can recognize it with technology doesn’t make a thought any less divine. In my opinion, every thought is a connection to the universe, the vice is God. Even the thoughts that sometimes seem pointless can stem into beautiful realities. Everyone has the opportunity to expand on these seemingly useless thoughts and from them grows art.

GM NOSTR! Did the modern financial world start with a cup of coffee? ☕💰 Lloyd’s of London, the London Stock Exchange, and the East India Company all share more than just British roots—they were born in London’s coffee houses. #History #Finance #Entrepreneurship

My wife is from Cancun. Her cousin, a girl who's like my little sister, is from cozumel, another great island off the Yucatan. I love everything about that area. Isla mujeres truly is a little slice of paradise and I had no idea it was getting bitcoinized. Very cool. Nice read, beautiful adventure.

For thousands of years, humanity fought to secure land, wealth, and the power to shape its own future. Yet today, we’re handing it all away—one subscription, lease, and financed payment at a time. Are we truly free, or have we traded ownership for convenience without even realizing it? Financial illiteracy is unraveling centuries of hard-fought progress. Many of us here on NOSTR are pushing back, but the masses? They’re sleepwalking into perpetual rentership. Read my latest article to see how we got here and where we might be going. #growNostr #writer #GM #BitcoinVsBondage View article →

What is the Problem With a Classless Society? Human Nature. For centuries, momentum has pushed humanity toward more equitable societies—today, there are many places in the world where people can hope and strive for a better life without limitation of law or class. 📖 The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels argued that history was defined by class struggle and that one day, classes—and even the state itself—would disappear. But this, they claimed, could only happen if private ownership ended. No ownership = no exploitation = no class divisions. 💡History does show continuous instances of class struggle and revolt. So, Communism sounds inevitable, right? Here’s the issue: humans have an innate desire to own things. We create, innovate, and leave our mark on the world—not just for survival, but because we are wired to shape and claim what we build. Maybe the real question isn’t “Can we end ownership?” but “What kind of ownership creates the best society?” 🤔 #History #Philosophy #Marxism #Ownership #BitcoinIsBetter

This is one for the developers: has anyone explored cashu/ fedi mints between two parties where an action api call or something triggers a signature? Im asking for escrow use cases. In a sense it could be a smart contract without a block chain? - note: this would be like a mint only between the parties involved. So the funds od online purchase stay locked until items have been recieved by the buyer.

It still blows my mind how we are so interconnected these days yet people are being killed and abused en masse and the news isn't spreading nearly as fast as it should. These are people just like Ukrainians and Israelis/Palestinians are people. Why isn't news on this more wide spread? View quoted note →

Having a coffee this morning? You're partaking in one of the earliest Social Networks! ☕ The Original Social Network: London’s “Penny Universities” ☕ By the late 1600s, London had over 500 coffeehouses, buzzing with philosophers, merchants, scientists, and revolutionaries. They were called “Penny Universities” because for the price of a single coffee, anyone—rich or poor—could engage in intellectual debates, political discourse, and groundbreaking ideas. 💡 Isaac Newton discussed physics over a cup. 💡 John Locke debated democracy at the next table. 💡 Revolutionary ideas that shaped the modern world were brewed alongside steaming cups of coffee. These weren’t just places to grab a drink—they were the birthplace of modern public discourse. If coffeehouses still worked like this today, who would you want to share a table with? ☕👇 @Coffee ☕ hashtag#History hashtag#CoffeeCulture hashtag#PennyUniversities hashtag#IntellectualDebate
