SCREAMING INTO THE GLOBAL TOWN SQUARE THAT IS #NOSTR

It would be if all of the white papers swarming in the air were Bitcoin Bs. Not much else discussed in the Nostr public square. No-one really engaging with anyone else. All just shouting their bitcoin thing.

closed source custodial nostr clients are a threat to users and during these early days of nostr adoption represent an existential threat to nostr

I don't understand. If Nostr is an open source protocol like http etc, on top of which anyone can build, how can one client represent an existential threat to it?
Arthur Hayes suggests that traditional financial institutions are aiming to take control of the crypto sector. He believes these institutions, like BlackRock, are looking to establish dominance over B...
They were always going to try. If there's big wealth in it, it's a given. Their "master of the universe" sense of entitlement demands it.
If they succeed, then bitcoin isn't what we believe it is. And that will be that.
So let's see what happens, because try they will.

Rather condescending tone there, but I'll let it go.
It's a bit more nuanced than 'the globalists are going to crash the world into a wall'. There are a number of powerful factions involved. And yes, the globalists have their agenda, but go read Tom Luongo's work for insights into the very powerful faction that opposes them. It's an internecine battle among the powerful that is going to cause vast global suffering regardless of which faction wins in the end.

Who else is hearing about an attempt for more lock-downs coming back this fall?

Absent a lethal pandemic in which people are literally dropping dead in the streets, I would argue that the probability of lockdowns is miniscule. It would crash the global economy, way worse than 2008/9 and require trillions upon trillions of money printer goes brrr.
I cannot see it happening.

I’d love to see what they had to say but not going to X to do it.
I went and had a look at the comments on Xwitter and they are all very valid criticisms of Nostr in its current state. Very valid. Until those issues are addressed, Nostr will never pull meaningful number of users.

The media calling Oliver Anthony’s song a right wing anthem when 1) it doesn’t mention political parties or specific politicians and 2) has rather broad appeal across anti-establishment types in g...
So criticising the rich in the US makes you right wing. Right ho.
Just boarded an eleven hour flight to Cairo. Going to spend the whole time doing a final proof-read of Broken Money to find the straggling typos that me and my editor missed, so my formatter can fix t...
Yes, it's extraordinary how that happens. Typos are like socks - no matter how mindful you are, they slip through/away.
Since Klaus/WEF has a socially and fiscally left-leaning view of things, a useful way to respond to their support of total transparency and no privacy is to be like:
"Cool, cool. Imagine you happen t...
The key issue being - "Nothing to hide" from what? Who lays down the parameters of what is acceptable, outside of which keeping hidden would be the only alternative ?
