lol what?? people find joy with each other in difficult situations. i've seen people under siege in Gaza make some funny videos occasionally, because finding joy is a form of survival and resistance. have you even ever worked in a hospital? this is such an unfounded conspiracy

Are there Nostr hackathons? Even if there's no real funding for that, we should be having them to create the "buidl" culture of Ethereum. Great products will come from them and create cyclical growth.

i'm guessing Larry Ellison won't be on "best behavior" bc these surveillance systems he's helping to create won't target himself

What about not conceptualizing The People as "consumers" in relation to the government. Personally prefer "citizen."

makes sense, a strategy to claim that use case. religious manifestation of financial value - guess all religions do that in some way

Can someone explain to me this whole Bitcoin circle jerk thing. Like I understood it a decade ago when it was still new, and actually revolutionary (and you could buy drugs and stuff), but feels like it hasn't really evolved much in comparison to Ethereum, where there's tons of non-financial use cases. And I respect the purity of keeping Bitcoin as a financial tool, but after a whole decade, jumping into Nostr and people are still circle jerking over Bitcoin... Am I missing something?

Capitalism was a Coordination mechanism for Colonizers.

And in the last election is was Moderate-Right vs. the Far-Right. But at least the Dems offered genocide lead by a black woman instead of the typical white man.

Farcaster built on Ethereum, and other blockchain-based social media networks use the blockchain for the wrong purpose; the blockchain was designed to solve the "double-spend" problem. It's important to not double spend money and votes, but beyond financial, governance, and token-based access control systems, the blockchain is simply overkill.
Social media does not suffer from the "double-spend" problem - if anything, the concept of "going viral" is literally the opposite of preventing a double spend. Social media posts are not scarce and should be "spent" as much as user engagement permits. All that matters is that we can verify the owner/creator of the post, so they receive credit for their contribution (unless they want to remain anon).
For this reason, Nostr applications will outgrow Farcaster and other purely blockchain-based social media apps!

After P2P private group communications, we need ZK voting integrated from Aztec blockchain and SFT-based roles management systems for sybil-resistant voting in these private groups. Governable private tactical tools to fight authoritarianism and the surveillance-security state!

Same in the US. We must call for direct decentralized action to vandalize and destroy these devices before the surveillance net is too thick for such anonymous direct actions!

Curtis Yarvin's Urbit and Balaji's Network State are framed as democratic on the basis of decentralization, but are incredibly monarchic; obey or leave. It's like saying you oppose the Roman Empire, but welcome the Dark Ages where Feudal Lords reigned over peasant serfs.
This "if you don't like it then leave" mentality is one of total privilege and complete individualism. Many Bitcoiners unfortunately are libertarian individualists who only oppose MEGACORP in favor of their own CORP, their own rule, and their own people.
Decentralization != Democracy

Gen Z voted in a revolutionary new government using a Discord poll... We could do so much better with Discord-similar tooling built on Nostr and integrated with ZK voting and roles-management systems on EVM or Aztec networks. NFT token gating for sybil resistance in voting applications that use ZK proofs to protect the preferences of voters. Decentralized, immutable, private governance integrating the social aspects of Nostr and the governance capabilities of blockchains @nprofile…slk3
