One thing holding me back on NOSTR is the search. I spent my entire career in data/reporting so I view all posts as database entries to go back and 'mine' words, Dorsey's, yours, and mine. For instance, I painstakingly wrote up notes on Saylor explaining the 5 types of investors in Bitcoin. Going to the transcript, reformatting it, etc. I remember it had Denier and Skeptic in it but I can't find it using any client search inside NOSTR or using "The Google." For 2025, I would like to not renew my blue check on Twitter but it is impossible for me to be limited on my posts (TLDR) and some of us need the search. I know, I know, everyone likes to think what they post today is earth shattering but I really, really like to go back to what has been said the past almost 16 years in Bitcoin and last almost 4(?) on NOSTR. Huge Fan of NOSTR and I am patient as Hell. Some of us were around when the Internet was being built: "404 Page Not Found - Site Under Construction"

I may not be on here often, but I am so damn proud of you guys. I saw something like 7% of my followers are in my age band, I am 3 months and 5 days younger than Saylor. But....I was like you guys, back in the day, with the Internet. But even before then, I was in on BBS systems. I actually met two girlfriends online. My friends thought I was nuts, how could you meet someone typing on a computer? Then came the pre-Internet days. I pushed hard. People laughed. I explained to them everything, even a guy at an Auto store (Poquet Auto) I came in on a Saturday to check out a Diamante (I bought it) he said. "How did you hear of this specific car?" I explained. "But it isn't in the Sunday Tribune until tomorrow?" I helped them get a website setup using an ISP (long gone) called Summit. My friends and family laughed. I taught them early on the word 'Blog', they laughed, repeating the foreign word, when we went to Ukraine to adopt our daughter and I am in Internet cafes with thumb drives posting my info. (Essentially working with the Russian Mafia, really, packing heat, counting crisp hundred dollar bills and if one was flawed, "spend this in your country" in a thick Russian Accent. My friends/Family were starting to say "cool." Then my wife was diagnosed with incurable cancer, I used a MLM the exact on Satoshi used called Majordomo. Before Google, shitty search engines but I compiled all the info they needed and emailed it. BUT I knew that they would need to 'search' back through those emails so I used something called FINDMAIL.COM where it archived each email from the MLM. Then it was sold to eGroups then it was sold to something called Yahoo. But it did the same. Now I am a national level cancer patient advocate for the past 27 years, with some of the best researchers in the world. I take most comfort, however, knowing that my little mailing list for that specific type of cancer, the doctors would say how "informed their patients were" and I knew, I freakin' KNEW my little list with the most patients/family members on it was in play. ...so then comes Bitcoin, my friends and family laughed, they are not saying "cool" yet. All I am saying to you younger people, I am proud. Very proud of you all. RESPECT. GO NOSTR. GO UKRAINE, I love your country, the people, and our wonderful daughter from Odesa.

Thanks to Bitcoin, I was able to skirt around my governments antiquated rules on only being able to invest $9300/yr (I am and married.) How, I took my crappy HSA and moved it to Fidelity and was able to invest almost 8 years via some Bitcoin products. Thanks Satoshi/Saylor/Fidelity. Stop glorifying spending/debt USA Government and vilifying SAVINGS. Any type of SAVINGS. Health SAVINGS. You want me bankrupt when I am one blood test away from financial ruin because our healthcare sucks? How sick does the world have to be to see what Bitcoin can solve and apparently I live in the healthiest of nations? What a joke.

The Incredible Explanation of Exponential Growth "The Stadium Analogy" From NOSTR via Robin Seyr @Robin Seyr on this podcast the other day my mind was blown. But you validated my obsession by saying you were too the next two times on different podcasts. I do feel you have to let people hear the original talking on this as it was my favorite part of it all as my brain processed it with you. Here is the start of it: I know NOSTR is new and the advanced search needs a lot of work, but would love to see who originally posted this on here to send sats to both Robin and the originator.

I wonder how many people, in the USA/World know that Donald Trump has a pro-Bitcoin stance and Mark Zuckerberg has a goat named "Bitcoin"? Very few, why? Because when 99% of the people still believe the Banks-Are-Good-Bitcoin-is-Bad fueled by FIAT and the FIAT minded, then of course not. People can't research to the level of that top line, which took me seconds to write and hours to comprehend.

Season's Greetings from America. America, where we are $36T in debt, Americans are HODLing more debt than ever on Christmas. But there is a FIAT holiday today known as "Black Friday" where you can get the best deals on the imported crap you don't need. Our government wants us to follow their lead and go into debt. Opt out of "Black Friday" ($PENDING) and opt in to "Orange Friday" ($AVING) Save Bitcoin. Show us, rest of the world? Today's Headline on Yahoo, right now, in America (image): Me: "Merry F*K'n XMAS, get out de way, b*tch, get out de way."

always lurking on here. Love it.

Not just the headline, look who bought it...

Bitcoin has changed me financially and physically (dropped 30#/13.6Kg by simply walking and listening/learning about Bitcoin by so many amazing contributors, starting with Satoshi.)

I started out on here with putting $200 into Alby and zapping and it's now over $300. That's the way money should work.

Can someone help me, I can't use NOSTR for one reason, I started posting on here to use this as a 'bathtub' to fill up with TLDR posts so I could go back and find them. I can't, like most apps (not bitching) I can't do advanced search (X is just one notch above awful.) I simply am trying to respond to Stephan that Starknet/Starkware is an awful company for Bitcoin. Funding Udi and others who think is fun trying to break Bitcoin. I had links to Podcasts and transcripts, anyone? Or can you send me links to support this? Thank you.

Hopefully Trump will put "Not Sure" into one of his main cabinets?

I love when Bitcoiners incorporate odd music like this heavy(?) Mongolian band The HU. @yellow ever hear of them? This would be a great Bitcoin theme song or NOSTR Primal, Primal Scream:

Not sure if the rumor I heard was true but since there are no filters anymore on misinformation I am going to put this out there as fact. It makes sense that Peter Schiff founded Midvale School.

Sad to see this gem on Anna Maria Island is gone. Great vacation memories.

How is it possible to even begin to thank Satoshi for his gift to the world? How would you measure the positive impact of Bitcoin? What metrics? What graphs could you show if you collected all the data points you need with the billions of rows of data ? It's way more than a God Candle with Godzilla screeching and fire breathing as the NGU. Bitcoin is a mind blowing, life altering, positive human battery charging , energized gift that helps with people's Physical, mental, and financial well being. Human Being. On Earth. p.s. - I didn't say Spiritual on purpose because that is stupid. (Bitcoiners: some of the most opinionated MoFos on the planet.)

"Unprecedented" Disclaimer: BI Data Guy for 35 years in Corporate America (using a competing product to MSTR) and 27 year Cancer Patient advocate using my basic formula I learned in my profession: Data to Info to Knowledge to Power. (Our world is 'Data Rich, Information Poor') and I AM A HACK. Begin of my TLDR: The title is my least favorite overused word, in the world right now. Runner up is "journey." We are so arrogant as a human species, just like we were 100 years ago when we thought we knew it all. 'Recorded history' is really about 150 years, that is such a small timeframe when the earth is 4.5 billion years old. Now, with 200 channels and billions online vying for our attention, everything is 'unprecedented.' The definition is: "Never done or known before." Really? We used to use 1 in a 100 year storm, but Milton they are now saying 1 in a 1000 years. How did you get to a 1000? That is such a round number. Yet, here we are, as arrogant as ever, where we think we wield more power than Mother Nature and somehow 'we' are causing all these disasters? Seriously? Oddly enough, to see how old the earth is, they use 'carbon dating' and experts say we have been through at least 5 ice ages. Some say we are in an ice age right now since there is ice on the North and South poles, albeit melting at an 'unprecedented' pace. Really? How about when the sun cooled slightly 700 million years ago and Earth was covered in ice, which lasted 57 million years? How about 7000 years ago there was no ice or glaciers at both poles? I am no expert on Climate Change, but after working in Corporate America, I have zero confidence we humans could figure it out anyway. Why? Project Managers. There is no one solution to Climate Change, it is about 150,000 solutions with each one needed to be headed up by a human. A human, the same ones who have ruined our lives with wars and financial decay. Each project's outcome, if mismanaged, could do more HARM to our earth. Come on people, think of the faces of the PMs you have worked with at Corporate or the very best leaders you know? But regardless, I know I am 60 percent water, I live in a dreadful climate (Minneapolis) 6 months out of the year where I know I am solar powered and need to go South for the sun/Vitamin D. I like warm versus cold. I am stopping here without a dramatic click bait ending, but I just want all you 'experts' out there on both sides to 'consider' you don't have a clue on mostly everything you think you know as fact. Admit you are a hack like me? Learn everyday. Embrace the chaos. Not everyone is unprecedented or as big an influencer, maybe we humans as a collective whole are the least influential on what happens to Earth now and in the future? p.s. Bitcoin is unique and unprecedented

In researching today's "Electric Money" journal articles I thought this was interesting. Maybe there needs to be a place to not censor articles an publications, anyone? For instance:

Google Scholar

But click on it and OOPS Iraq?

"HBOMax's Bitcoin Ratings/Money Grab tonight 9PM EST." I really hope people stop trying to figure out who Satoshi is or was, his expertise on his Privacy so far is as legendary as his code. "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery will be released on HBO on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 9 p.m. ET and Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 1 a.m. UTC. The documentary will be instantly available to stream on HBOMax." Also, the "Electric Dollar" replacing Gold was from Dr. John Pease Morton in the 'Youngstown Vindicator' on December 27, 1932 Never mind the Ford guy over 100 years ago: (Note the year and "Library of Congress" and the reference to stopping wars) Satoshi made Ford/Morton's visions of "Money Electric" a reality, ignored then and pretty much now too. Shocking but never tell a Bitcoiner they were 'lucky' when there is almost 16 years worth of analysis on "Why Bitcoin" out there, millions of hours worth of analysis...for free, no need to buy a subscription to HBO, waste of sats or waste of your electric money.
