Amazing how fast the NWC ecosystem is growing. Nostr + Bitcoin has great potential for cultivation of a Muslim cyber culture actually rooted in sovereignty. We just need to start using and building on these tools to usher in a new islamicate mythos, one that we actually own. View quoted note →

Much of it is either exaggerated or just plain wrong (like the SAIF corner), but Muslim LSM is cooked. It's just a sea of noise and slop and attention seeking ragebait with the most brain dead takes imaginable. We will all be at the forefront of changing this, inshaAllah.

"Your weak structures are stuck in meatspace while cyber has already gone and liquidated your assets leaving you stuck trying to vibe out an meme-gasm with a tool you don't own and somehow thinking that isn't cuckery. "We need our own platform." "We need a compliant muslim crypto with halal yield." "We need to build according to our values." YOU'VE LOST THE PLOT. Stop complaining about the coal mines when you are still in them." View article →

It’s a shame that when Muslims first encounter Bitcoin, the only instinct is to rush toward a halal-haram verdict so it can be traded back into fiat. What should be an encounter with a radically different monetary paradigm is reduced to jurisprudential box checking and the endless search for a ‘permissible’ token to speculate on. It's like the conversation can only collapse into degenerate trading and compliance theater, like the highest ambition our tradition can muster is finding the cleanest way to participate in the same broken Riba infested system. What should be a conversation about digital+financial sovereignty, resistance to institutional riba, lowering communal time preference, and reconstructing a viable moral economy through sound money never happens. The project of cultivating an alternative monetary consciousness and laying the ethical foundations for new forms of economic and civilizational coordination in cyber is simply abandoned.

Understand that influencers on legacy social media are structurally incapable of thinking outside their slop based monetization loop. Their incentives have atrophied their imagination and their will. They neither value nor can meaningfully comprehend personal sovereignty. Even the loudly anti-Zionist ones. They would rather plead for engagement scraps from technocratic gatekeepers than reclaim an inch of personal agency. Trying to onboard these people to Nostr is pure wasted effort. They are the absolute worst candidates for nostr pilling.

Wait you're telling me that... We can buy... GROCERIES WITH BITCOIN?????? Finally, we have an answer to normies that are all like "OK I get that Riba money is haram but I can't buy my groceries with Bitcoin" View quoted note →

"Capitalism was meant to be about shared risk and shared reward. Too often, it’s become about leverage, paper promises, and deferring consequences. This is why sound money matters." You've gotta read Bitcoin is Venice! It's good and it will blow your mind I promise. Basically explores your statement above.

This is how we fight 👇 "Against the state, the calculus differs fundamentally from defense against ordinary criminals. One does not defeat a modern nation-state through force of arms. The asymmetry is too great, the resources too imbalanced. Those who imagine pitched battles against government forces are entertaining fantasies that will get people killed. Defense against state aggression means delay, deniability, and escape. It means separating evidence from persons at risk, maintaining the ability to relocate operations, and accepting that any fixed installation can eventually be taken. The goal is survival rather than victory, continuity rather than conquest. The Second Realm persists by being too diffuse to crush, too mobile to pin down, and too prepared to surprise."

Muslim Nostr is very well positioned to address the Dawah Inc problem, but that vision still needs to be communicated View quoted note →

This is really cool. Gotta get on this. Future Network States will have their basis and origin in being the first in utilizing sovereign permissionless infrastructure like this View quoted note →

Sounds like a sovereign individual framework to kickstart network state formation 👇 "The Two Realms framework exploits this caution. Rather than confronting the state or waiting for territorial escape, strong individuals build a second realm that operates alongside the first. The first realm consists of public spaces, state-controlled infrastructure, the official economy with its banking system and tax apparatus, the courts and police and prisons. The second realm consists of private spaces, encrypted communications, alternative monetary systems, and physical locations where those who claim self-sovereignty can meet, trade, and collaborate outside the state's direct oversight."
