Deep inside the bitcoin rabbit hole. Now peeking inside the nostr rabbit hole.

Exploring ways in which I can contribute to the freedom tech ecosystem.

Sharing a useful tool for learning I discovered a few months ago - Globe Explorer.
I think the best way to describe it is as a visual search engine. It's based on LLM's and when you search a topic it generates a list of contents on it and images/diagrams that enable you to quickly get an holistic view of it and dive deeper as you please.
I've been learned all things #nostr this past week and it has been really quite helpful in manoeuvring through the various aspects of this incredible ecosystem.
If you happen to give it a try I hope you find it to be helpful too.

Brilliant! Making lemon batteries reminds me of my school days when learning sciences felt like learning magic 🍋🔋

Love this!
I’m quite used to pointing my camera at a physical book to capture highlights of text which I then store and annotate in digital notes. This sounds like the perfect extension of that workflow!
Reading notes and threads from others feels like a great way to cognitively own a book.

I watched your interview with @npub1a2c…w83a at Oslo Freedom Forum this weekend. Really enjoyed it and it got me thinking...
Given what you said about your early vision for Twitter being similar to that of the Nostr protocol, do you think it would be possible for Elon to shift X's social graph to the Nostr protocol?
It would probably be a significant engineering challenge and possibly not all that desirable for him financially. But if he really cares as deeply about free speech as he appears to claim maybe he would consider it worth while. It could even help Elon as the social graph would no longer be under his control and so he becomes less of a target of government etc. He could still run it like a business but instead focus on building the best possible client experience with the possibility that users would be willing to pay for that.
Wondering what people think to this idea? Could this give Nostr the network effect we want or the opposite? How technically feasible is it?
From my perspective I would love to see all the content from the people I follow on X on Nostr. I also think this could be great from a Bitcoin adoption perspective with the possibility of opening up the entire X social graph to lightning/bitcoin wallets.
Curious what @npub180c…h6w6 & @npub108p…yev6 might think?

Nostr has been in my periphery for a little but it took a while for me to digest the purple pill. Happened after watching a bunch of talks from #nostriga. This rabbit hole is going to be very very deep 🕳️
