2. INSTANT MESSAGING
https://m.primal.net/KauL.png
Stop Using: Slack, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, Wechat, Telegram
Start Using:
🔻 Keet offers self-hosting capabilities, allowing users to control their data and communications without relying on centralized servers. End-to-end encryption ensures private conversations, making it resistant to interception or monitoring.
🔻 Nostr Protocol: Nostr's decentralized social network prioritizes privacy and freedom of expression, providing a platform for secure communication without interference from centralized authorities. Noise Protocol encryption ensures message integrity, while verified identities add an extra layer of trust.
🔻 SimpleX Chat is a fully decentralized messaging app with no central servers, no phone number or email required, minimal metadata collected, and strong anonymity through its user-centric design. Users can run their own servers and enjoy self-destructing messages for added privacy and censorship resistance.
🔻Signal provides a balance between privacy and usability through its strong end-to-end encryption. While it collects some metadata and requires a phone number, its widespread adoption ensures robust censorship-resistant properties. Signal's strong encryption requires a phone number for registration, collects some metadata such as contact discovery, is centralized with servers controlled by Signal Foundation.
🔻 Wire: Wire's self-hosting capabilities and integration with decentralized platforms like Matrix and XMPP provide users with control over their communications, making it resistant to censorship. Flexible communication options prioritize user privacy and security. However, Wire stores a list of the people/pseudonyms you contact, so they do know who is talking with whom, at least in broad strokes (your identity is as "private" as it comes up in people searches on Wire).
🔻 DarkFi: DarkFi's IPFS-based architecture ensures secure communication without relying on centralized servers or intermediaries. Its decentralized nature makes it more resilient against censorship and surveillance attempts.
🔻 Briar is designed with offline-first, encrypted messaging that resists censorship and surveillance through a decentralized node network. Messages remain private and securely transmitted, even in situations where online connectivity is limited or restricted.
🔻 Threema offers end-to-end encryption, anonymous ID options, and limited metadata collection. While centralized with servers controlled by Threema GmbH, it does have robust privacy features. Threema partially discloses its source code, allows users to use an anonymous ID instead of a phone number, collects some limited metadata, is centralized with servers controlled by Threema GmbH, requires a one-time fee, and offers robust privacy features.
🔻 Session App uses a decentralized a messaging architecture using Onion routing (Tor) for added anonymity, requiring no phone number or email, collecting minimal metadata, and featuring user IDs as public keys to provide strong anonymity. Open-source community servers allow users to run their own nodes and maintain control over their communications.
People often think of Telegram as a privacy solution, but they are mistaken, as it offers no E2EE unless bank a/c linked, which leaks KYC info. To sign up, you need to provide a phone number. Clever enough people may work around these restrictions eSims & disposable credit cards. It doesn't censor content though, which is useful.

I get your point, but it's debatable how strong it is and will be in the coming years as the subsidy continues to decrease into irrelevance.
Also, 21m is the magic number, as per my previous comment. Do you measure how much bitcoin you have as a fraction of 19.8m or 21m? If 21m, then there is no dilution, no inflation.
Back to miners. They do work, they get paid. I do work, I get paid. Nobody increases supply for work.

TIL that the term "bob" in reference to money (or £1), likely originated from the Irish word for a cow "Bó".
Livestock was used as money in Ireland until a few centuries ago.

I don't agree.
All Bitcoins have already been created. They are merely distributed according to a fixed supply.
This is not the same as inflation, which would require an increase of coins beyond 21m.

#introductions.. If you're new here and just figuring this thing out. Then take some time to understand what nostr is and why it's different to twitter, tiktok, Facebook, etc.
#nostr & #bitcoin are FOSS (free and open source) projects. They are built and maintained by communities instead of companies. A very important distinction.
Nostr and bitcoin reminds me the early days of the World Wide Web. The 90s were my time as a teenage.
In those days, we were surfing online with one another. We were a collection of total strangers, and some of us (atleast I) felt we would make this world better. We didn't know how at the time,, but we knew we would, somehow. .
I went to college to do a computing degree, as I was so certain that this was the future. The adults didn't quite see it as clearly as us kids did, but it was crystal clear in my eyes. The Internet was our thing, it was our way forward.
This was before Silicon Valley, the media or governments colluded and began to steal it from us.. The Internet wasn't as exciting after the 90s and from my recollection, companies like Google began to close their doors to foss, instead they locked all innovations down. Things really began to change for the worst after the gfc.. Governments got more desperate, Google and Facebook then ate the media's advertising model, and since then, the media and the government have been in cahoots. Governments got back doors to literally everything and the Internet been a shit show ever since.
The surf isn't what it used to be. This isn't the Internet that provided hope, instead it's filled with dispair, tribalism and virtue signalling..
But I do feel a change happening. In #bitcoin and #nostr, I once again find hope that we can build a better world that cannot be Co-opted by the state and their cronies.
These technologies are robust and anti-fragile. This time around, we will build it without their permission, their only path forward is to join us.
So once again, let a little light back into your life by setting aside some time to learn about nostr and bitcoin.

Dr Niall Burke (of Bitcoin Network Ireland) has just published a new article.
"Title: Energy and the Irish electricity grid - a critical look towards 2030"
It’s an incredible piece of research and focused on the makeup of the Irish electrical grid & the nature of energy usage in general.
The research and article is intended to start the ball rolling with industry professionals, so he lightly introduces Bitcoin Mining near the end. Mining will be in the spotlight in the next edition or two.

Since 2015, Irish house prices have:
- increased 60% when measured with #Euro
- decreased 99% when measured with #Bitcoin   
Some people believe those who own Bitcoin got lucky, while those who own Bitcoin understand it's just maths.
This trend is a signal and it will continue.
