Welcome to late October 2025

😂 We got hijra debates and sectarianism on Muslim Nostr now. This is great! We'll be bigger than Muslim X pretty soon inshaAllah

100%. How Muslims use bitcoin matters! That's part of what it means to be truly orange pilled in a Muslim context. It must be ground in being toxically "anti-Riba cypherpunk" View quoted note →

"Equal outputs can hide you, but chains, fees, and wallet quirks love to snitch. Privacy is ultimately about context." Good essay about Bitcoin CoinJoin privacy:

It's 10 PM, Do You Know Where “CoinJoin” Gets Its Meaning?

SimpleX no!

It's been a huge challenge for me to figure out the best way to explain this concept to other Muslim Bitcoiners... The implications for this are actually quite transformative and massive. I probably need to find a better phrase than "cyber cult" but it's the best phrase to describe this thing and tbh I don't want to dilute the concept by using other words. Gotta get other Muslims on board with this. Of course, this is the main reason why I've been more active on Nostr. It's the perfect platform for cyber cults to grow and be unleashed (and I don't think any of the nostr devs are aware of this, but that's a separate discussion for another time) View quoted note →

And there shall be thousands of relays that run Muslim Nostr. InshaAllah.

"Satoshi discovered how money could operate without central authorities, encoded that discovery in software, freely gave it to the world from behind a mask, provably committed his own resources to demonstrate its benefits, bootstrapped a community devoted to its success, relinquished control, and left. Anyone may now use the feral institution he left behind. That is what Satoshi did. He set Bitcoin free." View quoted note →

Oh snap! We got brother Wes on Nostr! Give him a follow and definitely check out his graphic novel! Check out this sick trailer: View quoted note →

It just never stops...

There's already a lot of tools out there to help maintain your privacy with Bitcoin. We all just need to find them and use them! View quoted note →

Nostr is going to make all of this obsolete, inshaAllah.

I'm starting to think that orange pilling big name Muslims and institutions is probably not the way forward. I used to always get excited at the opportunity to orange pill a sheikh or community leader, but after many attempts at this, it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Like, they appear to "get" the general idea of what we're trying to say about Bitcoin, but it doesn't interest them enough to take any action, or even read a single book or listen to a podcast about it. I'm always left disheartened, like I've just wasted my time. And I've noticed that a lot of other Muslim Bitcoiners still haven't arrived at this realization, and they keep trying to have audiences with these big name Muslims, and it becomes increasingly hard for me to get excited about these opportunities anymore. I'd much rather build a network of "no name" Muslim Bitcoiners here on Nostr, as a base to work from. The interactions I have here are a lot more meaningful, and way more fun, than trying to do a 5 minute sales pitch to Sami Hamdi or Yasir Qadhi.
