My experience with Nostr is similar to my experience with Bitcoin in Brazil: an inner circle using the excuse of bootstrapping and scaling a technology essential for humanity, while in reality, they just run in circles kissing each other’s butts.

I just found out that Elias Antonio Lopes, a slave trader, was one of the wealthiest people in Brazil, even wealthier than the imperial family. He donated the Quinta da Boa Vista estate to the Portuguese royal family when they fled the Napoleonic Wars to Brazil. When money speaks, no one checks the grammar—especially when it comes to trading human labor.

They need good developers for THEIR Bitcoin and these dudes don't care if the devs they're hiring are literally raping Brazilian women who try to approach their technical environments. This has never been about bringing more Bitcoin adoption and social development to Brazil.

Can someone explain what type of sorcery this is? 222222222

No one is talking about Google Takeout enough.

Pacifica—CA. That place has an aura all its own.

The ups and downs of Bitcoin make me feel much more connected to the global economy than the fictitious fiat value in my bank account.

Brazil's Minister of Human Rights is out, accused of sexual harassment. While the accused claims innocence, this scandal highlights the pervasive culture of misogyny and rape culture in Brazilian politics and decision-making.

I want to know who has my private keys and what are you doing with it.

Fixing the problems of the world with my projects.

Also, I would love to be guided toward very didactic documentation on which type of control a keyholder (client) has. Everything feels sketchy, shady, and weird, like those Bitcoinheiros communities in Brazil that make fun of women and don't let us ever know the truth.

Once, as a beginner dev and bitcoiner, I broke my Umbrel node by messing with the command line. I was sure that my channel funds were lost. Then I recalled I had @ZEUS on my phone, and I was able to close my channels through the mobile app and recover my funds. I will never forget all that you do for us. Zeus is freedom, self-sovereignty, and safety all at once.
