Superman is the only one that willingly got nutted on his face https://image.nostr.build/b349e7907e5631c98b0c85628cf639fe4176803198a6af26ab9f18212c174d07.jpg
So many notes about bluesky, and many points missed.
- topical reasons: 99% of notes are about nostr or bitcoin, not only are these uninteresting to Normies many are repulsed by these topics.
- onboarding: bluesky protocol was designed to accomplish a specific goal, a goal that decentralization takes a back seat to. This means they can more quickly achieve UX that closely aligns with what people EXPECT.
- philosophy: the majority of people "fleeing" to blueksy are statists. That other 1% of content on nostr is overtly anti-statism. Not only would an influx of statists be catastrophic to our culture, you are batshit crazy if you think you can impose a dumptruck of philosophical pivots on tens of millions of people before they shift the direction of the protocol to one that resembles statism.
nostr's strength is not building another twitter. nostr's strength is that it is a protocol that enables possibilities that facilitate the invention of new experiences that nobody has yet conceived, possibilities that none of us EXPECT. These possibilities cannot be atomized and codified into a coherent roadmap created by any central committee. Nostr is a place of possibilities.
Being capable of facilitating what none of us expect is nostr's strength. It can't be forced. It can't rushed. The time will come. excercise patience and embrace the unknown.
Fabulous idea! I try to talk to people in the real world about #Nostr when the opportunity arises 🤙
This is bad ass! Well done.

Yeah that's what I was using as well. I hear there was a bug in that version that caused it. I had just got a new phone and was afraid the battery was just trash until I had seen that Pokey was just hungry 🙀
Awesome. I'll try this later this evening. Thanks for your work.
I was on 0.0.7 so two versions behind ... Have been using zap store but I guess obtainium is still better for faster updates
Marvel and DC really enjoy the cucking 😂
The mother and the two brothers would be the trust circle if I had to guess.
Totally agree, knowing what they did themselves, they would always be suspicious since potentially anyone could treat them the same
I definitely could have but there was important things to my business at the time in the car that would have made for potentially huge issues for others that relied on me but def not worth my life. Lots of lessons about preparedness came from this encounter.
pokey used 33% of my battery in a couple hours, may need to go back to just amethyst 😂
Was giving up the keys ever an option? I’ve thought about this in life and I think the best option is to just give a robber with a weapon whatever they want and move on.
Even if you’re concealed packing if someone pulls out a gun and demands your stuff the safest and smartest thing to do is just give them the goods. Easily replaceable. Not remotely worth getting shot imo
You should read adventures in legal land by Marc Stevens. The constitution is just smoke and mirrors.
Kentucky Football kicks off in 30 minutes! I hope the Cats don't overlook Murray State while they prep for their whippin in Austin next week.

I think my genetics are pretty average. When my hair is long, my face breaks out more because my hair sits on my forehead. The oils from your hair can cause you to break out. I also break out when I spend time with a girl who wears makeup. Those chemicals aren’t supposed to be absorbed by your skin. A few years ago I would constantly touch my arms, trying to feel the muscles on my shoulders and then it would break out. My guess is that the oils from my fingers triggered that. If I touch my face a lot, I’ll break out too. I also breakout in some other parts of my body which I think might be caused by sweat. But my face is the cleanest because I wash it regularly and remove that oily layer with warm water. I’m starting to think that we breakout because our skin is trying to remove some shit that it absorbed which it wasn’t supposed to absorb 😂
Yeah it was a car jacking at an AirBNB I was staying at. The part that still kind of haunts me is that my inaction led to a woman on the other side of the complex I was staying at (this was a gated community!) actually getting car jacked after they ran from me. I've never met her but the cops told me she was ok other than being shook up. I guess it turns out they were a part of some mexican gang because the cops picked them up and asked me to come back to Texas a couple weeks later to ID them but there's no way I could point them out. The first hit I took from the stick literally launched my contact out of my eye so I was fighting blurry the rest of the encounter.
Were they trying to rob you? That’s a crazy ass story.
I got jumped and stabbed once but they waited until my back was turned to attack. I was able to fight them off and they got spooked and ran away. In that scenario I was lucky I didn’t go down as things would’ve gotten a lot worse. I’ve thought about it and for sure I couldn’t have accessed a gun while the two dudes were assaulting me. And getting a hypothetical gun taken from me in the melee would’ve made things a lot worse.
Guns can definitely save your ass. I’m not denying that. But I think most people have never really needed a firearm and probably won’t. And in some cases the firearm can make things worse. But in your situation it sounds like it saved you.
whoops meant to grab the pic of my face but grabbed the cars bashing instead lol https://files.freespeech.casa/media/0f563fe2cfdf180cb104586b95873379a0c1fdcfbc301a80c8255f33d15f039d/864f6d276c5b596c7f3478ca1df30e5feb2ec96e7041b6211ae8c102a5224ab5.webp
100%. I've thought many times about the situation and had they had any sense they could have still had a chance because I wasn't prepared at the time to take a life. I was the perfect description of what you were pointing out.
When I pulled two of the guys immediately ran. The third stayed and kept punching me in the face lol if they had all just rushed my arms it could have went many other ways.
This isn't to say I don't train wiht my firearms on the reg either. I could go from holstered to a shot in quick fashion but being ready to take a life was a different thing for me. I'm honestly lucky it played out the way it did. I commend you for all the points you make. I just had to make the point for anyone reading that guns can save your ass lol https://files.freespeech.casa/media/0f563fe2cfdf180cb104586b95873379a0c1fdcfbc301a80c8255f33d15f039d/1ecc5a2a8cb1dfe82ea7b0a9c94edde20d29fea5a6ac035de99473f3aa284e10.webp https://files.freespeech.casa/media/0f563fe2cfdf180cb104586b95873379a0c1fdcfbc301a80c8255f33d15f039d/fc75d250ebd3adcfd115d3b641e03100953f664a4db56251d69356028fcb2707.webp
Well I’m glad you had it and I’m glad you didn’t die. That’s fucked up.
If you read these replies back I’ve never said I’m anti-gun. I own two firearms, I know how to use them, and grew up using guns. My dad is an ex marine and so was raised with proper firearm training. I don’t concealed carry and I’ve never personally been in a situation where it would’ve helped me. I’m not saying those situations don’t exist though.
But the situation where a gun can turn a non-deadly situation into a deadly one for both parties is a reality too. There are tradeoffs, always.
I will say that I'm only here because I carry my gun. At BitBlockBoom a few years ago I was jumped by 3 dudes with sticks that beat the snot out of me. If I hadn't had my gun in my middle console of my car I have a feeling I wouldn't have made it out of that one.
Maybe you don’t realize that a firearm is not an instant safety net. There are many instances where just the display of a firearm instantly escalates a non-shooting situation into a shooting situation - which greatly endangers everyone involved (including and especially your family as they’re now near the target of the other shooter and their bullets).
Another reality that firearms present is they can be taken from the user. Dorks with no experience can and do get their guns taken.
In both of these situations a gun has made the situation exponentially more dangerous. Often escalating a situation from something that could’ve been avoided with situational awareness into something deadly.
Force multipliers work both ways. You’re not some badass and your gun has just as much change of getting you or your family killed as it does of “protecting” them. Ignorance to think otherwise.

I know I'm in the minority but I feel like physical combat sports like MMA UFC wrestling and such are so primitive. Human beings shouldn't be subjecting themselves to this in the 21st century. Its coliseum type behavior. Animalistic. Robot wars should be the norm. I think less of people that watch fighting for entertainment. Monkey brains.

The ETH/BTC ratio is the best way to look at the relationship between the two.
Since June 2017 the opportunity cost of holding ETH has done nothing but rise. That's 7 years of loss against the value of bitcoin in purchasing power and for the last 15 weeks that ratio has been falling like a stone.
The two darker blue lines are the long-term downward trough while the light blue line is ETH tilting its nose down and aiming firmly for the ground.
We have warned and warned and warned. We've been laughed at, made fun of, and called "Maximalists". We were right in 2017, we are right now, and will be right going forward.

Hey @npub18pu…a699 do you have experience with Bolt12 offers? We recently installed CoreLightning to tryout Bolt12 but when I generate an offer and try to pay from @npub1ex7…vyt9 , I get an error that a route couldn’t be found. But if I generate a lightning invoice request form the CoreLightning node, I can pay that and invoice. I’m confused how one could work and the other will not.

So crazy to think about 🤯
They fucked us long enough, now it’s our turn
Imagine billions people fighting over a couple million Bitcoin. Spread evenly, that's like 10-50 thousand sats per person.
Spread more realistically by the 80/20 rule, and assuming a couple billion have already bought in, if there are 6-8 billion people fighting for 1-3 million remaining Bitcoin:
- The top 20% have between 50-200 thousand sats each (with a few having even more)
- The bottom 80% have between 3-12 thousand sats each (with a lot having even less).

It allows you to have much better notifications of nostr interactions. Instead of each app trying to run their own notification servers, you install Pokey and it communicates with your chosen relays to give you notifications directly.
This is the key. Algos don't have to be evil.
#nevent1q…7jlg
I do not yet fully get what pokey is used for. Would you mind explaining it to me?
The sooner you build one the sooner you can make it back; people won't likely be able to get more than a thousand sats for their dollar for much longer.
I may come off as defensive but in reality I don't need you to run a node; I'm already set. But a lightning node solves 90% or more of the complaints I see on here constantly.
You don't yet see other ways to provide value to our planet and to recieve bitcoin as value returned for that value you provide aside from social media posts?
You'll find it. Running a node will help. Certainly doesn't have to be a podcast, you could do the same with code contributions, music, documentaries, how-to videos, comic books, recipes...literally any digital content imaginable can adopt this model and succeed at very small scales/niches. I have been getting sats to my node for 3d printing a lot lately, something I hadn't planned for a year ago.
Basically if you think receiving bitcoin via zaps is your only need, then you don't understand your needs and should do a reassessment.
In the not-so-distant future this will become plainly obvious. In the mean time I'll continue to point it out. 🫡
