Traveling through Asia has shown me one thing: how incredibly addicted people can become to #TikTok and similar apps. It's frightening to see a group of people sitting together, wordlessly staring at their devices for hours. Usually with sound on, so you can hear them constantly watching some #brainrod content. This is not just some people or only young people - this is everyone. Even in shops, you sometimes have to speak to people loudly because they don't notice you otherwise. However, what I find most disturbing is children sitting in strollers with pacifiers in their mouths, staring at a phone. They can already operate the phone but can barely feed themselves independently. To me, this looks less like a cool new form of entertainment and more like an #epidemic.
Have you noticed that around you? #asknostr

Check the user id, it ends on "nostr.pub" which is a service to bridge Mastodon to nostr. You can bridge any Mastodon user. Users don't even know that they are bridged.

Agreed, but that might not be the target audience. Social media already has a lot of Bitcoin voices. I think many people still read and use other media less - this group probably has a better chance of actually understanding it since it is such a big topic which needs a lot of attention / time to understand it.

2026-03-21 07:59:08 CET

It would be great if we had a good, beginner-friendly Bitcoin book with a free license. We could then print it as cheaply as possible and distribute it to public places like cafes or bookcases to spread the word. Would love to see that.

Oh wow — Now, I’m surprised. Thanks for the response.
The Amber login still shows errors, but if you ignore that (which I hadn’t before) and wait, you’ll eventually get logged in.
For me, Podscan has a great UI. The main screen shows everything I need and lets me rearrange items to suit my workflow. It’s clean and simple. They have a menu for “Your podcast list” and another for “Latest episodes from podcasts you follow.”
Fountain tries to be something different, which is fine, but I don’t find the homescreen useful and the feed isn’t my priority. I subscribe to specific shows for a reason — that’s what I want to see first or mainly.

I use the app "Geo share" to open gmap links on comaps. So if you search for something on Google Maps or receive a Google Maps link, this app converts it so that you can directly use the comaps app for navigation.

New Idea: Let’s Use Iris Scanners to Generate Nostr Identities! What do you think?
Hear me out. What if, instead of boring old keypairs, we just scanned everyone’s irises to generate their Nostr identities? Think about it: your eyeball becomes your login. No more lost seed phrases, no more password managers—just gaze into the Orb™ and boom, you’re decentralized.
Why would this be amazing?
• Perfect Sybil resistance: You only have two eyes (probably). That’s a strict upper limit of two Nostr accounts per human. Finally, the internet can return to its natural state of calm and rational discourse.
• Unforgettable keys: Forget writing down your key on a paper. Your backup is conveniently stored inside your skull. Extremely secure unless someone steals your eyeballs, which is honestly a niche threat model. *Not your eyes not your account*
• Instant onboarding: New users just walk up to a shiny biometric orb in a mall and stare into it while a venture-funded startup assures them everything is 'privacy preserving'.
• True decentralization: Sure, the scanners might be owned by a single company with billions in funding and a global biometric database… but they promise it’s decentralized in spirit.
• Seamless moderation: If someone gets banned, we can simply revoke their eyeballs from the network. Problem solved.
Honestly, the only real downside is that if you ever want a new Nostr identity, you might need… a different pair of eyes. But innovation always requires sacrifice.
Anyway, looking forward to scanning my irises so I can post permissionless memes on a decentralized protocol. The future is bright.
Just zap this note to get early access!!!

well, it's still possible to decide what type of school someone attends and for how long. More choices would be better, but homeschooling isn't the best solution in many cases. I could see some hybrid. I believe many parents aren't sufficiently qualified to ensure their children's education is adequate. We've seen the effects of Covid in developing countries, where some children couldn't attend school at all, which had truly devastating consequences.

I just had a typical conversation about Bitcoin. It started with the question,
"Is Bitcoin even successful? I mean, what's the price right now?"
After I told him that success has nothing to do with the price, the next sentence came:
"I don't really know anything about it, but isn't it just used by criminals on the darknet to make even more money?"
And that was from a young IT guy who should actually understand pretty well. When I then told him about El Salvador, that I recently paid for my lunch with Lightning, and explained that the country he was currently in was mining Bitcoin with hydropower, he was completely surprised.
The orange pill doesn't go down easily. I think we still have a long way to go.

I think it's best to look for other protocols like BitTorrent, which work similarly. Governments and/or the media industry didn't like it and tried to stop it, but people still download torrents. PirateBay.org still exists and is still used despite being blocked in some countries.
However, they have managed to make torrents unattractive in some countries, which is why people have switched to alternatives. Piracy and torrenting are not dead.
