Alex Gleason on nostr

Why does nobody care about this? Why are the freaks on Nostr so concerned about the privacy of direct P2P Bitcoin payments and don't care that an entire country is being fucked by a middleman?

Replying to @Alex Gleason

USDT is a defacto standard but the QR codes to pay go to a proprietary Binance URL. Therefore both sides MUST have the Binance app - open source wallets don't work.

A lot of people figure it’s “Not their problem”. I was not aware of this till now, that is definitely not alright.

I'm more concerned about age verification at the OS level, and the current and future attacks coming of open source developers. Destroy FOSS and we lose it all.

Well that’s messed up, didn’t know, also like shits going on everywhere. Flooding the zone seems to work.

That country has been fucked long and hard by its government. Binance is getting sloppy seconds. The best we can do is make freedom tools that Venezualans can share, if they want to.

Pretty sure most bitcoiners on nostr care about fiat exploitation and also about privacy

The open source scene in Venezuela is lacking to begin with.
