Thank you so much Max for putting this together. Now when I get a blank stare from someone while explaining why Nostr is so important, I have something I can show them. 🤩❤️⚡️
View quoted note → I've been saving what I can in Bitcoin consistently for about 2 years. I don't have a lot. I also have more than most. Computers aren't my strong suit but it also has pushed me to figure out what I can at my pace. I figured out self custody on chain (to a satisfactory degree) rather early. Because I realized the power that gives me. On a network like Bitcoin, with a finite, predictable, verifiable unit of account. Open to anyone. Bound to energy and cryptography. That can't just be bought to be changed. Robust, as in, maybe I don't have access to it right now. But somewhere it is running. And it is not lost. Something I could have the keys to the signature as mine. I see that value in that. I can be a "shrimp" and still understand the value proposition better than people stuck in a fiat mindset. But I know I understand it better than Blackrock. Or people making "policies" to limit more liberties. And I'll do my damnedest to keep my sats safe. And tell others who see the potential that a fair monetary consensus could bring. So they also see how important self custody is over a fiat price tag. I have become far to nihilistic in my youth. #Bitcoin gives me a longer term outlook. Something that makes sense to me. Clunky and confusing as it may be to use still. It's worth it. And I will say. It is getting much easier. #nostr has been huge in me seeing the function is there. And working. Ramble done. Now go zap @Max DeMarco for his phenomenal work on his documentary some more 🫡🫂
Ate 2 little meals while finished watching this documentary. Thanks for making it!!! P.S. The only thing is I wish you didn't call it "normal money", but maybe "government money" or some other variation. 😆😆 View quoted note →
Great job on the film, we’ll done ✅ *The lightning network invoice at the end of film expired btw
I did a test and it was YouTube that was deleting all my comments. I was sick to my stomach at how much power they have 😫
I did a test and it was YouTube not the creator taking my comments down. I'm sick to my stomach at the censorship 😫
It is here is my nostr that's YouTube banned I believe. I was heart wrenched, until my husband was like let me troubleshoot this Michelle. So we quickly realized it was not @Max DeMarco deleting the comments but it was YouTube NOT him. It's either me saying add my nostr or maybe I'm just shadow banned I dunno. I'm new to tech, and these social platforms so 🤷‍♀️ I don't really understand the algorithms yet
Thank you Derek for both the welcoming and the great idea of this platform ! Is there anyone I can follow who is doing a kind of "Nostr 101 " ?
I tried to Zap you some sats meaning send some bitcoin to you through this post. Its really easy to set up just download Wallet of Satoshi from the app store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.livingroomofsatoshi.wallet Open the app click Receive image Then click the lightning address image It should now be copied. Go to your Nostr profile and paste it where it asks for a lightning address. Now people can send you some bitcoin ⚡️
Hello Ivan ! I have followed a video on youtube and I have downloaded ALBY as recommended there - isn't it the same ?
Thank you Max ! And please, if you have the chance and if this make you happy, please keep doing 101 videos about Nostr ! You do that so well and it can be really useful for people like me !
Ok. Thanks. Good to know. I think that's a hindrance since youtube can also censor your video.
Welcome to nostr. Go on, post a note and put some hashtags on like #grownostr #plebchain to find a world of wonderfull nostrichers 😁👍🏻
Shout out @Max DeMarco if you would like to hear from us (family of six travelling since February 2020, homeschooling/ unschooling since 2016/17). I'll be more than happy to send over some of our clips / images / experiences 🙌🤩💯✈️

Been doing it 15 years. Youngest has never stepped foot in a school, very much a free thinker. No regrets whatsoever!
interesting short doc. i think it's important to distinguish the apex control lies in ai/agi bot tech scaffolding. and i'm doing so, control is handed to the computer intelligence and smart validator apparatuses - with a human oligarchy overseeing them. if that's so acceptable and interesting and a savior system: why not say that instead of skirt the issue and talk in crossworded programmer code? if universal adoption is really the goal: why not make the compression accessible? jargon is a gatekeeing methodology, not an act of inclusivity.
Pero ... una pregunta: ¿Donde se puede ver el documental al completo? Gracias.
Thank you Mr. President. From: DerekRoss at 07/16 14:29 > Bob, I just watched your first video and it's fantastic. I'll try to watch them all today. 🫂 CC: #[4] CC: #[5] CC: #[6] CC: #[7]
WAW Bob ! That's soooo great !! You are the Uncle I wishe I had ! haha :-) But... That's a too complicated 101 for me. But at least, now I understood what "relays" are and after a day of getting my hair white I set up "relays" on in severals Nostr interfaces and finally get able to get notifications, DM in all of them... !!! Thanks again ! You won a follower in both platforms :-)
Interesting documentary which sheds light for normies on the problems of centralization, commercialization, government control and warped incentives. However, it spends a considerable amount of time with folks that were caught up in those and contributed to the problem (however reformed we are expected to believe they have become). Still interesting and relevant, but it seems like it missed an opportunity by not including the people who recognized those problems, and the processes through which they crafted and offered an elegant open solution. Considering the complexity of the issues at play, there are a number of huge ones, this was no easy nut to crack. Somehow @Ben Arc, @fiatjaf and many other nostr contributors made it look simple. Witnessing the emergence of the nostr protocol and ecosystem has been fascinating and inspirational. I suspect there will be more documentaries to follow that go into greater detail so that others are inspired to follow in the footsteps of those who dare to disrupt negative practices by offering free (as in freedom), open and decentralized alternatives.

What I also think is a good way to familiarize "beginners" with Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto's vision is this 6-part documentary by the French-German culture channel ARTE. All just over 10 minutes long and available in 6 languages. I would be very interested to hear how the "pros" @jack, @Gigi, @ODELL, and all the others rate/judge this documentary... (because maybe it's not as good as I see it because I don't understand enough...hmm) https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/097372-001-A/the-satoshi-mystery-the-story-of-bitcoin/

How come this does not play back?
A family member wants to leave social media and is looking for an alternative. I sent him the link to the #nostrdocumentary from @Max DeMarco. It's still a masterpiece and I hope it will convice him to learn more about this powerful open source protocol. #nostr
