Why are all the leftists ditching Twitter for Blue sky not moving to Nostr instead? Is it because they need a liberal safe space? Or is it because Nostr is missing something they need?

Jetlag woke me up at 4am, walked over to Checkpoint Charlie, crazy how a wall cut Berlin in two, one side with capitalism, freedom and prosperity and the other with communism, secret police, and misery

I love how Kamala Harris owns a Glock handgun. As SF's District Attorney she supported a law to ban all handguns in SF. As California's Attorney General she supported a ban on all handguns invented after 2013. She's an anti gun anti freedom hypocrite. Trump is better on guns but he's a lunatic. Why do the two choices for president always suck. https://video.nostr.build/466a4d4ca126e2a8f59c94f4c775d23e509ef5fae8a0973c12e25c5ecc215249.mp4

That's why we also have the 2nd amendment to protect the 1st.

So in the UK they have "dedicated police officers who are scouring social media" for insulting or abusive material. Even retweeting is a potential offense. Thankfully in America we have the 1st amendment so we can tell wannabe bootlicking government officials and the thought police to get lost.

Phoenix's 0.4% outbound payment fee means during low fee environments sending $100 on chain is actually cheaper than sending $100 using phoenix. The UI/UX is really good though.

Why are building circular #bitcoin economies important?
I'm onboarding some activists to Bitcoin, the most common question is, "how I spend this Bitcoin for real money". For many people scam fiat is "real money". Everyday people need to be able to spend their Bitcoin for it to be useful to them. We have to push more merchant adoption for bitcoin to be truly seen as "real money. https://image.nostr.build/51e16c20c5a6d42ff34c796dbbaadb9a40710ca82dda9b64300c2cd72559ebf1.jpg
