Either they can't see it or they don't truly care about sovereignty. Thankfully, being on Nostr has opened my eyes a little bit to all the underlying infrastructure this is all built on. It really presents a whole new way of looking at building on (and using) Bitcoin.

I mean... I guess.... The khutba was pretty basic from a bitcoin perspective

Oh boy. You're gonna wanna sit down for these:

But I hate being recorded when I talk...

Not bad. It was the second khutba at my masjid which only has about a fifth of the amount of the people that show up for the first khutba, so not a lot of people. But I got very positive feedback. I basically talked a little bit about the preparation of the Hijrah and talked about taking initiative for things that need to be done in the community. Need to take personal responsibility and not outsource agency to other institutions like a politician, imam, or masjid board.

You can see where I'm going with all of this for future khutbas inshaAllah, since I'm now stuck in the khutba schedule.

I'll open one

No idea, I'd also like to hear recommendations

Definitely. I always have to make it personal, especially personal for myself first before anyone else.
