We’re all out here collecting the instances we’ve been told to go fuck ourselves like early Bitcoiners

They’re gateway drugs for Bitcoin

Sober analysis. I’d add: Nostr doesn’t have to ONLY be a backup/ripcord option. Paid subs for valuable content and/or services can exist here too. Heck, ads (sans deceptive design patterns) can even exist here too in certain contexts. https://fountain.fm/episode/nx8jCK6OGhKpTsOI85E3

RIP Frank Gehry Although your projects were barely profitable to work on and your visions strained relationships… the world became more beautiful and interesting through these journeys. I’m grateful you were here.

What if you send a love note from the shitter? Does that break the algo?

Except I actually love and never want him to leave

Paste your nsec in a kind1 and broadcast to max relays. It’s the only true way to sepuku here

We might be in a bubble (One of those people who use that “LinkedIn” boomer networking app sent this to me) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aravind-srinivas-16051987_its-an-honor-to-welcome-cristiano-ronaldo-activity-7402411528223924225-iXdF

lmao, oh the visuals you've brought me...

Lots of otherwise smart people don’t love Bitcoin unfortunately. Taleb too. Doesn’t make em wrong about everything

Yeah. The statue didn’t help

GM PV good free nostr people

“…there are now (broadly speaking) two successor coalitions with utterly irreconcilable visions: The Custodians Global corporations, Wall Street, Big Tech C-suites, the national-security establishment, most of the Ivy League Universities, the legacy media, and the permanent bureaucracy from Washington to Brussels all want to preserve as much as possible of the post-WWII world. They double down by restricting freedom of speech and actions and punishing those who do not comply with the consensus. The Populists Their project is to manage the future through hard power and national industrial policy. They are willing to burn sacred promises, including NATO commitments, Big Tech’s censorship monopoly, and replace the USD hegemony with bitcoin and crypto, and whatever else it takes to build a world in which America remains a sovereign nation.” https://drpippa.substack.com/p/the-hyper-structure-of-war-and-interstitial

Take a break from scrolling cope posts about Bitcoin’s price and check out something designed to get Bitcoin be used as money Alpha release is here https://alpha.conduit.market/

Had a wallet bug I had to get back to desktop to fix. Couldn’t zap for a couple days while I was AFK. Totally changed my Nostr experience. Zapping, for me, is essential.

The future is interoperable and unstoppable.

The open web was built by both non-profits AND for-profit companies. Nostr is no different. People talk like the open web was built only by idealists. Volunteers. Academics. Non-profits… that’s only half the story. The modern internet only exists because for-profit companies open-sourced foundational tools. 🍎 Apple: WebKit — the engine behind Safari and the original base for Chrome Swift — modern safe systems programming mDNS / Bonjour — local networking standards still everywhere Apple showed: open-sourcing core infrastructure expands an ecosystem far beyond one company. ⸻ 🔵 Meta React — the #1 UI architecture on Earth React Native — cross-platform revolution GraphQL — new API mental model Meta proved: open protocols win when the tools become better than the walled gardens they came from. ⸻ 🟢 Google Chromium & V8 — the engine of the modern web and Node.js Kubernetes — the backbone of internet-scale infrastructure Go — DevOps and cloud language standard gRPC, QUIC, HTTP/3 — the pipes the modern web runs on Google demonstrated: openness + corporate incentives can push entire industries forward. ⸻ 🪟 Microsoft TypeScript — the language that saved JavaScript VS Code — the most-used dev environment .NET (open) — enterprise backbone Microsoft taught: the market rewards you for empowering developers, not trapping them. ⸻ 💜 Here’s the Nostr Parallel For-profit companies didn’t fight the open web… they built huge chunks of it. Nostr is the same story, just happening in real time: • independent devs • researchers • open-source maintainers • AND startups building real businesses on an open protocol That mix is the magic. Nostr isn’t “against” capitalism or commerce or profit. It’s against permissioned choke points. Companies built Web1. Companies built Web2. This time, companies are helping build something different: a web where the incentives to build and the incentives to stay open are finally aligned. [transparency note: this post was LLM assisted through several prompts, but the idea and argument are mine]

Maybe I’m weird but I actually appreciate ads in some specific contexts. Like a niche topic magazine- I’m grateful to learn who the best gear suppliers for rock climbing are in an outdoors magazine for example. Beautiful, clever and relevant ads woven into the print from trusted brands can actually make the media better. I believe if we can recreate the incentives of physical media (no eyeball tracking possible, more risk on the advertiser, limited ROI/“click” data) and Make Ads Great Again using freedom tech.

GM PV good people Happy Monday

If cost and speed aren’t constraints, you’re not designing… you’re daydreaming.

Omg look at those cuties. They just gained another follower lol

Any Nostriches down in El Salvador with recommendations or down to say hi? We’ll be staying primarily near El Zonte. Looking to freedive among other adventures. 🤙🏼

Vibing. Enjoying life with the dog and the wife. Hbu??
