Amazing tip. I’ve heard @npub15dq…lm5m talk about river without doing my due diligence to research further. Proof of reserves alone makes the switch from Coinbase worth it. Let’s make it an industry standard
Thanks for all you do and stay blessed 🙏

There certainly is beauty in the mess. This all positive to me!
And Catstrr should age well: cats-only relay the first of its kind to filter by content
Geniuses at work.

Thanks for the reply, Fiatjaf.
I’m somewhat new in this space so I’m trying to figure out some of the mechanics. Indulge me - if you will - few more curiosities:
If users flock to popular relays to achieve maximal reach, and operators can be coerced, then doesn’t that obfuscate decentralization?
I’m finding that relay discovery is a barrier of entry to Nostr from a user perspective (not a dev, if that wasn’t already obvious). Do you have any suggestions for us plebs who want to filter relays by area of interest?

For example, how much headway has been made in the way of censorship resistance, as you’ve noted in your article back in March, @npub180c…h6w6?

Gm Nostriches 🪶
Elon Musk is bending to Brazil’s censorship demands.
Pavel Durov is bending to French government.
Freedom of expression is being compromised by illegal authoritarian governments’ holding these CEOs and their assets hostage.
Can relay operators be similarly coerced?
What are the choke points in the Nostr protocol?
Does the BITCOIN IS SPEECH argument help in protecting freedom of expression on Nostr?

Definitely agree that the educated elite are predominantly socialist-leaning or full blown commie.

2024-09-26 02:32:30

“While the extreme and violent aspects of Communism generally were rejected, the more genteel theories of socialism became popular among the educated elite. It was they who would naturally become the leaders in an American socialist system. Someone had to look after the masses and tell them what to do for their own good, and many with college degrees and those with great wealth became enamored by the thought of playing that role. And so, the concept became widely accepted at all levels of American life—the "downtrodden masses" as well as the educated elite—that it was desirable for the government to take care of its citizens and to protect them in their economic affairs.”

BITCOIN IS SPEECH
I glanced at the NYDIG report,
BITCOIN’S PROTECTION UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT
A few lines that stood out:
“Using and mining bitcoin also constitutes protected expressive conduct because those activities are intended and widely understood to be a protest against government control and debasement of fiat currencies….
“Bitcoin constitutes a highly communicative and at times boisterous community dedicated to
winning greater freedom from government fiat. It offers the sort of promise and opportunities that have prompted government jealousy from time immemorial. For these very reasons, the First Amendment implications of bitcoin cannot be ignored….
This.

Can someone explain how paid relays can work to your advantage? 🤔

“Oh, an example of a misuse of government spending? Can we increase spending again in order to make up losses?”
The irony is that intervention of this style looks like an admission, more than anything else, of the ineptitude of these social welfare systems’ ability to achieve their intended purpose. Not to mention it only serves to recover a mere 3% of the funds lost to fraud.
Starmer is following the classic socialist script, where freedoms are curtailed for the supposed greater benefit of the average person.
Increasing spending to make up for the losses due to reckless spending. Makes sense.

I’ll answer according to my understanding (pleb though I may be):
Broken money leads to centralized control of the flow of information. This happens because privately held social media companies effectively hold a monopoly (and so does Google) on this market. The network effect has made it difficult for regular folks to forego making use of them, because it’s the average persons primary means of keeping in touch with each other. They can amass a large troughs of information that they can sell to advertisers. They can make special interest groups to lobby the government. So they help the rich to get richer and strangle the users into “safe” spaces using algorithms. “Unsafe” content often connotes sex traffickers and terrorists (which, obviously nobody likes), and conspiracy theorists; but over the last few years we have seen anything less than politically expedient to be wantonly censored. In this manner, social media and bit tech feed into consolidation of political interests, and the furtherance of fiat crimes.
Nostr leverages hard money and circumvents all of these atrocities. It gives users access to content without the interference of the algorithm. It protects the potential for users to earn hard money for their contribution of value.
If you made it through this whole post, thank you. And if you like, please feel free to indulge me and let me know your thoughts.

Working in the public service (2024): Sits in meetings listens to fiat cats tell him what he already knows, nods and pretends to agree. Thinks about how to stack more sats.
Questions superior fiat cat publicly, pays social price. Doesn’t care, stacking sats.
Talks to coworkers about superficial work stuff, in the meantime thinking about how to stack sats.
Goes home, eats, exercises, and finally kicks back. Looks for ways to stack more sats.

He makes point (around 5:00 mark, link below) that the Canadian macro situation is better off than in the US and in the same breath admits that groceries, housing and fuel prices are unaffordable
I’m skeptical when the argument for a ‘macro outlook.’ To me, it’s just code for, ‘we’re taking your money via inflation and taxes and creating more mismanaged programs to make it bearable’
Bitcoin fixes this

Around the 5:00 mark (link below) is especially eye-opening. Colbert forces a comparison of Canadians’ and Americans’ economic situation, but we all could’ve seen that coming. More Democratic Party PR.

Watching fiat blabber come out of politicians’ mouths, such as Justin Trudeau’s, is just cringe.
