It's never too late to admit that your personal opinions about a politician were clouded by their position on Bitcoin and that gulags filled with innocent people are disgusting

To the global Bitcoin community: My home country, under military rule, has just experienced one of the strongest earthquakes of the 21st century. The dictator acts as a middleman, physical infrastructure is destroyed, and banking systems have collapsed. We all know the solution - unstoppable money! Please check the link for more details and consider support! Thank you!! 🙏

Nostr developers! 🌟
We're diving deep into something new ➡️ Understanding how activists communicate and how Nostr can help them.
Why? Because building better tools starts with really getting how people use them.
Here's the scoop: We've been researching communication patterns in activists and have uncovered five distinct areas. But we know there's more to this story, and that's exactly why we need your help.
We're hosting an online workshop to:
1. Explore these communication patterns in detail
2. Identify what we might be missing
📅 Date: February 25th
⏰ Time: 11:00am ET (17:00 CET)
Whether you're a seasoned Nostr developer or just getting started, your perspective would be incredibly valuable.
Want in? Just drop me a message and I'll shoot over a meeting invite. 🚀

Next week 👉 Tuesday, Dec. 3 we invite you to join us for a DOUBLE-HEADER event spectacular.
Kicking off at 6 PM, it's the @HRF x @PUBKEY #FreedomTech Series 2024 finale:
Shadowy Superheroes: How Bitcoin Core Developers Keep Freedom Money Alive featuring #Bitcoin Core developer Gloria Zhao.
Gloria will discuss threats to Bitcoin, past, present and future, why she chose to pursue grant-funded development as a Bitcoin Core maintainer over a corporate position, and how her views on privacy and the need for censorship-resistant payments drive her work. She will be joined by @Alex Li, Bitcoin Development Lead at HRF.
This event is FREE and open to the public. 🙏🧡🍺

I love how Kamala Harris owns a Glock handgun. As SF's District Attorney she supported a law to ban all handguns in SF. As California's Attorney General she supported a ban on all handguns invented after 2013. She's an anti gun anti freedom hypocrite. Trump is better on guns but he's a lunatic. Why do the two choices for president always suck.

IVPN is now on Nostr.
Following a conversation at Baltic Honeybadger with @Derek Ross regarding the pros and cons of 'company operated accounts on Nostr' + hearing talks on the future of free speech online, we are convinced that this is the right place (or rather, protocol) to be for us.
We've maintained a reserved, low-key presence on other social channels for many years. We as a team and as individuals prefer not to shout louder in a cacophony. While some companies thrive on oversharing for engagement and treating social communities as marketing funnels, such tactics don't align with our straightforward, no-bullshit approach.
For Nostr we are trying something different, without any compromise on these values. Expect more posts with direct opinions, in-depth analysis, privacy/VPN consultation and anything else that contributes to the community.

So many bitcoiners rely upon the state for personal protection, thats like storing all your coins on FTX, rugpull waiting to happen. If you are too lazy to take a 5 day class and pay $500 for a gun permit you are like your nocoiner friend who is too lazy to learn how to install a self custody wallet. I'll give you a pass if guns are illegal where you live.

Here's my profile for Reason on Nostr and why it could very well change the world
Pasting a few paragraphs here, you can find the rest at the link

Can Nostr Make Twitter's Dreams Come True?
Twitter's founder says Nostr is “100 percent what we wanted”—an open, ownerless network
Alex Gladstein | 8.13.2024
Virtually everyone agrees that social media is broken. On Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok, people fear out-of-control algorithms, fake news, state actor censorship, and propaganda. Google and Meta collect vast troves of personal information on their users and receive hundreds of thousands of requests every year from governments around the world to access that data. YouTube has become arguably "the most powerful media platform in the history of humanity," yet its algorithm is an

Beware of fake tokens! Wait for the real Trump token so we can pump and dump it on you and scam our supporters! Anyone who even discusses altcoins is a scammer who should be kicked out of Bitcoin but an exception will be made for daddy trump because NGU!

I'm shocked that a serial scammer and conman would also delve into shitcoin scams. If your favorite maxi influencer who supports Trump because NGU doesn't call this out you really need to reevaluate who you follow.

So in the UK they have "dedicated police officers who are scouring social media" for insulting or abusive material. Even retweeting is a potential offense. Thankfully in America we have the 1st amendment so we can tell wannabe bootlicking government officials and the thought police to get lost.

My favorite way to get cardio is running and gunning in the great outdoors. The MP5's firepower is quite weak, but it more than makes up for it by just being a fun and smooth gun. #gunstr

Crowdstrike is a great reminder of why free and open source software without auto updates > closed source auto updating software that kills your device. Tick tok next block!

Any BOLT 12 donation issues to @HRF should be fixed now. I went to sleep and my spare android phone running Phoenix also went to sleep. Plugged it into a charger and have an app keeping the display on, should work 24/7 now

The European mind cannot comprehend this. In Nevada, I can bike around with a legally registered machine gun and silencer. I will concede that I am jealous of the rest of the world enjoying the newest Phoenix Wallet release with bolt 12.
