SimpleX-pilling People Is Like Purple-pilling: The Silent Struggle Trying to get people to use SimpleX chat or Nostr is like offering them a better reality... wrapped in complexity. They say they care about privacy, decentralization, and ownershipâbut the moment you give them the solution, they flinch. "But my friends arenât there." "Itâs too new." "It doesn't have stickers." What they really want is comfort with a sprinkle of rebellionânot the full liberation package. SimpleX and Nostr are like the "purple pill"ânot just red (truth) or blue (comfort), but the hard-to-swallow blend of both. Youâre not just offering a new tool. Youâre asking people to be the first to use it. To lead. To be early. Thatâs uncomfortable. And yet... that's exactly how Bitcoin started. Two users. A message. A spark. So if you're here, using SimpleX or Nostr, just know: You're early. Youâre right. Youâre planting seeds. Theyâll thank you later. Or not. Doesnât matter. Build anyway. Use anyway. Privacy doesn't sell itselfâbut itâs still worth selling. #SimpleX #Nostr #PurplePill #Privacy
Totally respect the energy and message here â and the reminder that Bitcoinâs soul lives with the plebs, not the palaces. đ§Ą But I also think itâs worth saying: Saylor orange-pilled a lot of plebs. Not just governments, boards, or billionaires. His conviction gave many people â including everyday workers, artists, and builders â the confidence to look deeper into Bitcoin when the media still mocked it. His words reached places most of us couldnât. We need the poets and the pragmatists. The street-level vision and the corporate crack in the Overton window. Because if Bitcoin truly is for everyone â then it includes the radical and the rational, the rogue and the CFO. Letâs check kings â absolutely. But letâs also not forget who helped more pawns see the board. #ProofOfWork #PlebPower #BothCanBeTrue

I've lived here for over a decade, walk 10k+ steps around the city centre almost every day, and I've never seen that place! 𫨠Meanwhile, you can take a look at this place:

Just got my Curve MasterCard blocked while booking an Uber during my travels â flagged as "suspicious activity." Thankfully, I had backup cards and some cash. But honestly, it feels disgusting that some middleman gets to decide whether I can use my own money. We urgently need Uber, Bolt, and others to support Bitcoin Lightning Network payments. Getting locked out for 2â3 business days while traveling is completely unacceptable. Decentralized payments = freedom and resilience. #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #SelfCustody #Travel #Payments

Awesome! Do you have a link to the educational material/slides?
đââď¸ We ran for Hal Finney â as a side event at BTCâŻPragueâŻ2025 â to support ALS research and honor a true legend of Bitcoin. Hal was one of Bitcoinâs earliest developers and the first person to receive a transaction from Satoshi. He continued coding even after his ALS diagnosisâa disease that slowly paralyzes the muscles. He passed away on AugustâŻ28,âŻ2014, but his legacy endures. Hal loved running. âRunning bitcoin,â he famously tweeted in 2009. đď¸ https://x.com/halfin/status/1110302988 Run for Hal at was a live 5âŻkm run/walk through Pragueâs Old Town. While Run for Hal events are also held virtually around the world, this one brought the community together in person, with donations acceptedâincluding in Bitcoinâall going to ALS research . We run to remember. We run for Hal. đ§Ą #RunForHal #BTCPrague #Bitcoin #ALS #RunningBitcoin #HalFinney
The 35.8-mile laser test doesn't disprove Earth's curvature. Both the observer and target were above ground level, and Earth curvature over 35.8 mi â 849 ft (using h â d² / (2R)). But they never controlled for beam divergence, refraction, elevation data, or even precise leveling. Light can be seen over the curve due to atmospheric refraction, which bends light downward. Thatâs basic physics â not Flat Earth proof. Cool visuals, but scientifically inconclusive.
This supports a curved Earth. From 1,813âŻm (Penyagolosa), the horizon is ~151âŻkm. From 1,436âŻm (Puig Major), itâs ~135âŻkm. Total line of sight: ~286âŻkm â enough to see across 272âŻkm. Earth curvature drop â d²âŻ/âŻ2R At 272,000âŻm: (272,000²)/(2Ă6,371,000) â 5,800âŻm. But both peaks are elevated, and refraction bends light, extending visibility. No mystery, just geometry + physics.
