Allah karim

They should just call it a euro stablecoin and they'd get a lot less opposition. Amateurs.

I'll officially announce this in a few days inshaAllah, but I'll announce it here first since you nostr folks are special to me. The ebook copy of Anti-Riba Money is now freely available! You can download the pdf off of the Bitcoin Majlis website here: https://bitcoinmajlis.org/anti-riba-money/ Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and any feedback you have! Enjoy

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.

It's okay, you can use the word 'retarded' here

The phenomenon of devs (not just in Bitcoin) being so economically illiterate, like at a comically infantile level, needs to be studied. They work with logic all the time, but it's like their brain suddenly short circuits when it's applied to human action. Very strange.

One of us One of us!

"Though I believe that the essence of Muslims all around the world is that rebellious nature against norms once you see truth." Our job when orange pilling is to take that instinct, that old Bedouin refusal to bow to anything but God, and wake it back up. The trick is getting people to see that the same nomadic spirit that crossed deserts now has to migrate into cyberspace, which comes with its own harsh terrain and logic.

This is really what all criticisms of Bitcoin ultimately come down to: "I don’t like that you possess something no one else can seize, freeze, dilute, censor, or gatekeep. I don’t like that you can opt out of the system without asking permission. I, or someone I trust, must have the final say over how you use your property."

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.

Curious to read your reflections on Ibn katheer's book. There's lots of stuff to write about here, especially in terms of the modern times we live in.

Traveling currently but I'll have time to test next week inshaAllah

Listened to this last week. I don't disagree with his framing of the bad stuff that will come out of AI, but I really get annoyed by how these people's solutions always involve something political. You can't vote your way out of tech adoption. Obviously, the cypherpunk solution is the one that makes sense, and it's amazing how that gets lost in this conversation. Like the individual is powerless to do anything about it himself, he has to go and protest and vote. Yuck.

Yes! It captures that perspective so well! The fight scenes are great too

"Jack Mallers you are in bed with mafia players. Charlie Kirk tried to exit the mafia. You can't exit the mafia once you're in bed with the mafia."

Finally got around to watching Frieren (the wife has been bothering me about it for months!) and the soundtrack is out of this world. Amazing anime so far.

How do I fund this??

Looking forward to it! Are there other Muslims that are doing what you're trying to do? The only one I can think of is 's novels but that's it

Wa Alaikum Asalam ✊

What we mean when we say "Fiqh is dead"

I think it all started with Trump saying something mean about Somalis, but watching the reaction has been incredible. Lessons in virality. The memes are able to escape the containment of the algorithm it seems. Needs to be studied.
