This interview is one giant ad for NOSTR. I reached out to Andrew to put NOSTR on his radar. We'll see if anything comes of it.

He gravitates towards a younger, left leaning audience but I still believe he is one of the last relatively independent and open minded journalists who could help expose a wider audience to what we're trying to build here. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part but there is simply too much appetite for a solution people don't know exists.

I imagine if @Derek Ross @gladstein @rabble @ODELL @jb55 @miljan or any of the other heavy hitters building here were to sit down with Andrew and have a thoughtful, in depth discussion about the value prop of NOSTR his audience might find something they didn't know they were looking for.

May I ask what you and @ODELL thoughts are on Mallers working with Tether on XXI? It’s seems pretty obvious Strike will eventually roll up into that structure. And even if it doesn’t, does that not create some ideological conflict?


I get the world is messy and I’m not casting judgement, there just seems to be hypocrisy in the bitcoin space about this kind of stuff and I want to see clearly.

There seems to be a lot of media about Satoshi’s identity popping up all at once.

It’s a fascinating mystery even to someone who doesn’t care about bitcoin but it makes me wonder why now all of a sudden 🤔🤔

Could be pure coincidence, could be something else.

For context, meant to post this a couple weeks ago. I looked at the speaker list for bitcoin 2026 and they must have just added Afroman and hadn’t updated the website yet. But it was just too perfect.

If you told me in 2000s when I was bumping Crazy Rap and Because I Got High that Afroman would be a real life patriot for freedom of speech I would have laughed.

Trolling TF out of cops and then winning in court gives me a semblance of hope. Dude is an American hero.

There are three groups that people who had bad childhoods belong to. I’ve learned over the years that a bad childhood is a specific thing. It’s not being poor, or living in chaos or even necessar...

This is a pretty solid framework. I was once in group 3. Textbook hero child. I wanted to prove to the world I was worthy so I went balls to the wall in everything I did. Chasing the dragon. But it’s a pressure cooker. Eventually I ran that tank all the way to E, burned out, and then collapsed under the weight I was trying to carry (or actually avoid). That moved me to group one. Being stuck in an almost catatonic state of fear and being overwhelmed by the world. I couldn’t handle it.

Slowing moving into group two. It’s a long and painful process but thats where real proof of work shows.

It’s really challenging, borderline impossible, to understand this stuff without some base level knowledge of economics (Austrian vs Keynesian, what is money?, etc.). You have to learn algebra before you can learn calculus.

The Fiat Standard is what she needs to read but Saif’s writing comes across as arrogant and preachy to the uninitiated.

With that said, I find “The Price of Tomorrow” by Jeff Booth to be the most accessible book that isn’t shoving bitcoin down your throat. An underwhelming “basic” answer but I don’t see another way. Everyone has to go on their own journey
