Muslim Bitcoiner

"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."

Before any real Bitcoin circular economy can exist, you need a community capable of holding a meaningful share of its wealth in bitcoin. That should be the foundation. If people can’t sit tight through volatility and uncertainty, there’s nothing to circulate in the first place. Storing value demands far more patience and discipline than spending it, and I'd say that that cultural shift has to come before everything else.

X just keeps getting worse and worse. Barely any way to reach your audience. It's getting harder and harder to build a community there. Legacy social media is dying as it just keeps getting overrun by Indian bot farms. Being on Nostr just makes sense. The engagements here are a lot more meaningful, and people pay me sats for my posts.

4.12.3. "Is the Cypherpunks agenda _too extreme_?" - Bear in mind that most of the "Cypherpunks agenda," to the extent we can identify it, is likely to provoke ordinary citizens into _outrage_. Talk of anonymous mail, digital money, money laundering, information markets, data havens, undermining authority, transnationalism, and all the rest (insert your favorite idea) is not exactly mainstream. 4.12.4. "Crypto Anarchy sounds too wild for me." - I accept that many people will find the implications of crypto anarchy (which follows in turn from the existence of strong cryptography, via the Crypto Anarchy Principle) to be more than they can accept. - This is OK (not that you need my OK!). The house of Cypherpunks has many rooms. nostr:note1l0yqqq9tr0rjt3xc3nwkh6wn5ac5206l8dvcy8tg5qxf3tu9fxvqq4hnvh

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr4eobR22Ro Genuinely worth a listen. This might be the single best podcast episode for explaining Bitcoin to normie Muslims who are stuck inside traditional finance frameworks. He breaks down a lot of the core ideas from nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak's Bitcoin Standard in a way they can actually digest. He’s basically the Muslim Michael Saylor! (minus the riba vibes, obviously, I just mean the orange pilling energy)

SAIF is the only thing that is able to fuse both cypherpunk sovereignty and hyperstitional cybernetics into a single Islamic civilizational engine by giving both a shared metaphysics + moral telos, and a coherent mission for building actual power in digital frontier nostr:note19h4567a80klfykkvew67dczr5rvp4fmesxschv2nyzu2wv3c84dqvzxpvt

Nostr is just the continuation of the cypherpunk mailing list nostr:note1l0yqqq9tr0rjt3xc3nwkh6wn5ac5206l8dvcy8tg5qxf3tu9fxvqq4hnvh

2.5.7. "I'm a newcomer to this stuff...how should I get started?" - Start by reading some of the material cited. Don't worry too much about understanding it all. - Follow the list. - Find an area that interests you and concentrate on that.

Getting quite a number of DMs asking me what this SAIF stuff is about. I might have to write something. In the meantime, read the essays. It's all laid out here: https://saif.systems/information nostr:note1e5m6le4pl9g4km5wh4c0x3g6nd6asufexmveezq49x7eezmzvzqq5m5jm6

The way to avoid sounding like AI isn't so much to "dumb" down your writing but to write in such a way that AI can not exactly replicate. Not saying that I've been able to do this, I'm just saying. But you must find your voice. I also like it when I read something and it's not exactly grammatically correct. nostr:note1z2u30tmn77spttlv3z2l928acp2h2pr499jrt52jw572dtfzu6ksl3yazt
