Please tag this to any podcasters that you know. We will zap you with sats! At FanFares.io, we are a small team of 4 people building a Nostr client. We are creating the ability for podcasters to put specific items of content behind Bitcoin lightning paywalls. This can work well for premium content, of the type that might be put on Patreon or a Substack subscription. Listeners can use Bitcoin lightning as a currency to buy an episode by using zaps on Nostr. Payments for individual items of content, without the need to be doxxed makes it much easier to support a creator.

I deleted my twitter account 4 months ago and I now feel much less like a crack addict 😉

Dominic Frisby hasn't made it to Nostr yet, but I recommend this short audio piece.

HODL Gone Wild: Meme Stock Mania in the Age of Algos

How Cypherpunk Holdings Went from Obscurity to the Hockey Stick Chart

this is one to share with your normie friends

The early open source developers were almost universally very left wing. They were anti private property and believed that everything should be free. Bitcoin is the most prefect form of private property ever invented. 40 years on, the open source movement is almost universally capitalist. Did Bitcoin change us?

GM Nostr! Has the ECB declared war on us?

MSTR is a shitcoin!

The banks threaten to shut down our bank accounts for what we say on social media. At the same time, we build an uncensorable social media with an integrated, uncensorable payment system.

Bitcoin is money that you can own. You can hold it on your own person wherever you go and you hold securely in a way that nobody can see that you have it. Robbers or governments can search your house for gold. If you hold your bitcoin securely, then they can’t take it. This facility has never existed before in history. There has never been a form of money that you really own for yourself without relying on a bank or a legal system to protect your ownership. In the past many people have resorted to storing their gold in a bank vault. The problem with that is the fact that the bank can be robbed by people with guns. Bank alarm systems are much more sophisticated than they have been in the past so they now rarely get robbed. Though some would argue that the bank robbers have become more sophisticated. They have in fact taken over the government and they are slowly and quietly robbing us of our savings in way most people cannot see. Bitcoin doesn't require a third party to store it securely. Bitcoin doesn't require armed guards to securely transfer it to someone else.

A great podcast. Really interested in the concept of building intentional communities. It seems that if you want to build a community that uses a common currency and has a common idology, then the thing to do is to build it around Bitcoin. Bitcoiners will come and stay if they know that Bitcoin is being used as the currency. The shared values of Bitcoiners are generally very strong and cohesive. There really is no need to engage with alt coin smart contracts that could be rugged at any time. Land ownership can be divided and legally bought and sold within the existing legal structure of whatever duristiction the community exists in. Essentially what I am proposing is a property development where lots are sold to people with the stated intention that Bitcoin will be used to trade amongst the community members. The community members will likely build shops, bars, cafes, and trading systems that use bitcoin. There is no need to re-invent the legal structure of property ownership using smart contracts. It is interesting to hear that so many intentional communities have failed in the past. I would like to research this more, but my first instinct would be that many of the communities created in the past were philosophically against money. Sadly, civilisations depend on money to keep account of the contributions of individuals and to operate as a fair medium of exchange enabling the specialisation of production. It is possible that the denial of the need for money as a key element of civilisation has been the reason for the 90%+ failure rate of intentional communiities. Perhaps bitcoin fixes this? https://fountain.fm/episode/Mzpxdg9o9nu5OhuZ5QpK

The internet has started out as a communist place. Digital ownership has been restricted to a handful of large tech companies. Subscription is credit Advertising is slavery Bitcoin is digital money that you can own Nostr is digital content that you can own Without private property there is no freedom

Nostr is to digital media what bitcoin is to money. Decentralised storage gives ownership of data. Anything you think you own in twitter is the equivalent of fiat money.
