I think he left because WikiLeaks started taking Bitcoin and he anticipated some heat from govt.

If you ever wish you were younger, imagine you're 90 and being given a second chance from where you are.
Imagine where you want your life to be in the future, and work backwards from the future to now. What milestones are between the future you want and where you are now? Put yourself on the right trajectory for where you want to be.

Liberia is 70% Christian, much more Christian than any European descended nation. Are people trying to get into Liberia?

Well Bitcoin is a big part of the community so maybe they just don't like the people that are here?
But there's a lot to be built on Nostr that has nothing to do with Bitcoin. I'm working on some pretty cool non-Bitcoin Nostr stuff that I'll show off soon, hopefully.

Good morning!

Someone from my grade school class just died. I just remember her as quiet and shy, and had pretty handwriting.
I never kept in touch but I looked her up and a top result is a drug conviction. There's her mugshot in the paper. Her and her companions look rough. So sad her life went to some dark places.
And the same night I learn some meth addicts down the road shot a puppy with a .22. A woman came by in hysterics about her lost puppy, she was distributing flyers. They found the puppy over at the meth addicts property.
I think I've decided to move.

What stops me from trading gold/Bitcoin with whoever? What are the puppeteers gonna do, just never spend their gold or buy Bitcoin? They'll be humbled and the people will be empowered.

Nah, nobody actually cares about "smart contracts", totally unrelated nonsense. It's like hot gluing a swiss army knife to a Ferrari.
Useless features no one asked for or needed, used only as a second chance for people who wish they'd bought Bitcoin earlier and still don't understand it.
There is no second best.

Was Ukraine engaged in a civil war before Russia invaded in 2022, or not?

When they all say the same thing that's something to pay attention to. When this happens you know they all serve the same master. The narrative is downstream from someone else.

This is all pretty dramatic, I think you can just lower your time preference. I don't care about the price now, I'm thinking about the price in 10-20 years. I'm only grateful to build my stack at a little bit of a discount for now.

It's not Nostr censorship though, it's amethyst censorship. It's a client issue, not a protocol issue. If anything this confirms the protocol's censorship resistance.
But we do need clients that are on the side of free speech. Censors must become irrelevant. I think we're on the right path.

That sounds like a story I'd like to hear. What was the post about? And what did the FBI want to know about them?

Do you have those things? I know the government does. Seems a little odd to say "we only want the secret fraud government people to have that information, not the other government people who are auditing the fraud".

Part of the problem is we're getting worse products because companies cut costs, and sucking up data because they want to sell ads. Bitcoin doesn't fix this specific problem, but it helps to treat the root cause. Better money will result in better products, and more direct payment routes.

The book "The Four Agreements" expounds on this really well.

Turned down my default #zaps cause I wanna zap more people but I'm kind of a cheapskate. Hey, everything gets cheaper under a #Bitcoin standard, right?
1 cent = ~10 sats now. We're at that sweet spot in the bull market where the math is easy.
Anyhow tossing tiny amounts of generational wealth all over the place is way more fun than you'd think.

My trust level for the whole system has dropped to zero, because the system gave harmful advice in unison. Now I don't know if any shot is good for you, or any prescription drug, or any medical procedure. I'm not even sure if viruses really exist, or if all of virology is just a giant scam.
I stopped taking an older dog to the vet completely, and 4 years later she's healthier with more energy. I stopped going to the doctor and I'm healthier with more energy than almost anyone my age that I know.
I believe in diet, exercise, sleep, and sunshine. I'm just gonna go with those for as far as I can until I die.

This is pretty much exactly the setup I use to run my node. It takes a couple of weeks to sync up. For that reason I recommend running both Bitcoin core and then get Bitcoin knots going as well, just as a backup in case something goes wrong.
Kinda nice that in a recent umbrel update they made it so you can swap app dependencies, so if all of your Bitcoin apps are running off Bitcoin core, you can switch them to Knots, or vise versa.
I use a 1TB drive though. Storage hasn't been an issue since I prune the node down to 1GB, but it could be an issue if you're running more stuff.

Well I guess this is my #introduction to Nostr. Hi #Nostr!
My name is Charles. I'm not really on most social media. For the moment I thought I'd just post my thoughts and add some hashtags and see what happens.
For the #Primal thing I chose 7-8 topics and it followed 120 people for me automatically. Like a seed following kit I guess. If they had a #freedom topic I would have chosen that too. Who would I be following then? Tell me if you're a freedom advocate and I'll follow you.
