What we mean when we say "Fiqh is dead" nostr:npub1mnzxepdtemaeuk2uz5v9su3c52h04w73t84v2mjuck07wg380kdsxhkr5u

They should just call it a euro stablecoin and they'd get a lot less opposition. Amateurs. nostr:note1pq0qzsv4mc482l4yg5qrfftkrqe4wtrf96vpmlsdw0dsuu5u55psyayha6

Somalis are saying that they're willing to accept a two state solution in Minnesota.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4LgwrvQ46AY Another really great episode! This time with Harris Irfan. Amazing to see Iqbal Nasim do a whole series about Bitcoin from the Muslim perspective. He's already done three episodes that have all been enlightening. Brother is speedrunning the orange pill. nostr:note1fnxr7hvh7mr2xlwaflarmz8g5uq9r34vf74xmact6r2z9kz0mggqykd2f8

A large share of Bitcoin’s practical infrastructure, especially in payments and user experience, is already being built by African developers, and it will continue to emerge from their work. Both East and West are needed for Bitcoin to win.

I'll officially announce this in a few days inshaAllah, but I'll announce it here first since you nostr folks are special to me. The ebook copy of Anti-Riba Money is now freely available! You can download the pdf off of the Bitcoin Majlis website here: https://bitcoinmajlis.org/anti-riba-money/ Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and any feedback you have! Enjoy

"I should credit you for doing us all a very important service by raising this issue. Nothing could have lit a bigger fire under those of us strongly believe in a citizens' right to use cryptography than your proposals to ban or regulate it. There are many of us out here who share this belief *and* have the technical skills to turn it into practice. And I promise you that we will fight for this belief to the bitter end, if necessary." [Phil Karn, 1993-03-23]

The phenomenon of devs (not just in Bitcoin) being so economically illiterate, like at a comically infantile level, needs to be studied. They work with logic all the time, but it's like their brain suddenly short circuits when it's applied to human action. Very strange. nostr:note1v3xtja37mepeasf0a2077dwk63qes9yuuun4yl0cermd7xw6cltqm0kfux

"A Cyber Islamicate built upon a system of relays and independent nodes of production with no centralised oversight will ensure it fulfills its purpose in protecting Quran and Sunnah from external opponents and internal tyrants." nostr:naddr1qqgrvdfex56rjcf3xajxvwpcv3snyq3qv23r3lvz3lps9f3zcg3p4cevnlmf4az8prt6wdj933f057wvxy7qxpqqqp65w3wthvw

"Already today many records are kept of our financial dealings - each time we purchase an item over the phone using a credit card, this is recorded by the credit card company. In time, even more of this kind of information may be collected and possibly sold. One Cypherpunk vision includes the ability to engage in transactions anonymously, using "digital cash", which would not be traceable to the participants. Particularly for buying "soft" products, like music, video, and software (which all may be deliverable over the net eventually), it should be possible to engage in such transactions anonymously. So this is another area where anonymous mail is important." [Hal Finney, 1993-02-23] nostr:note1da5kzx6lcnesqnud2a8vjhhcl8fyfr6xlllay3zf0wn5zwl4dgmq92uyyj

"Though I believe that the essence of Muslims all around the world is that rebellious nature against norms once you see truth." Our job when orange pilling is to take that instinct, that old Bedouin refusal to bow to anything but God, and wake it back up. The trick is getting people to see that the same nomadic spirit that crossed deserts now has to migrate into cyberspace, which comes with its own harsh terrain and logic. nostr:note17x304d2jmx8eqnsed2jx43ykqamam6zm9vktzd8hzqyk3mgx7pas55aalw

This is really what all criticisms of Bitcoin ultimately come down to: "I don’t like that you possess something no one else can seize, freeze, dilute, censor, or gatekeep. I don’t like that you can opt out of the system without asking permission. I, or someone I trust, must have the final say over how you use your property." nostr:naddr1qqgrqdfsv93xvvnrv93rjcfhvyexyq3quzfp6cgwue2njm86cmyeq7m26y0n58w72acq98sjsnnv4c87002sxpqqqp65wxtk9rw

"You'll see these folks attacking anonymous remailers, cryptography, psuedonymous accounts, and other tools of coercion-free expression and information interchange on the net, ironically often in the name of promoting "commerce". You'll hear them rant and rave about "criminals" and "terrorists", as if they even had a good clue about the laws of the thousands of jurisdictions criss-crossed by the Internet, and as if their own attempts to enable coercion bear no resemblance to the practice of terrorism. The scary thing is, they really think they have a good idea about what all those laws should be, and they're perfectly willing to shove it down our throats, regardless of the vast diversity of culture, intellectual, political, and legal opinion on the planet."
