Gonna be so ridiculously expensive to build gaming PCs for my sons when they're old enough

And inshaAllah we're definitely planning on having more stuff related to nostr. If we can get 200-300 people for this summit, that's a huge opportunity to nostr pill Muslims

BIG NEWS

We're excited to announce the Second Annual Muslim Bitcoin Summit, taking place April 17–19 in Dallas, Texas.

Last year showed there’s a real hunger in our community for serious, grounded conversations about Bitcoin from a Muslim perspective. This year we’re taking it further. The summit will bring together Muslims from around the world who are thinking deeply about Bitcoin, sound money, and what financial sovereignty actually looks like in practice.

Expect thoughtful talks, open discussion, and practical workshops focused on custody, sovereignty, and privacy.

Early bird registration is now open at mslmbtcsummit.com

If last year was any indication, spots won’t last long.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Gotta order some

That's the vision that needs to be communicated more to Nostr devs, users, and outsiders. Think of Nostr as more than just an alternative social media. It is the permissionless substrate for cyber cult formation, from which sovereign local governance and censorship-resistant economic structures will emerge.

Great post. The thoughts seem to be in a good direction.

"I can’t look at someone straight in the eyes and tell them that Primal is the next TikTok or Youtube Killer etc."

Exactly. A Nostr app is a fundamentally different thing compared to TikTok or youtube or Twitter. Can't market it the same way and we should embrace that fact. We should not seek to emulate their hyper attention grabbing incentives and structure because it will end horribly.

Need to think in terms of programming different incentives and priming new users for new outlook. Push them into the direction where they don't want to be a normie anymore. Help them feel good about owning their shit in cyber.

Yeah, the two paradigms of cypherpunk ethics that the author talks about are mostly differences in politics. I think approaching cypherpunk ethics from an islamic framework can synthesize both May's and Assange's conceptions.
