You fuks that hate on EVs are no bitcoiners.
Electricity can be made from any energy source.
Does heating oil or deisel fuel flow to your house through a breaker panel?
Can you generate your own gasoline with just a solar panel?
Nevermind global warming, that is a red herring.
Ford and Edison understood electricity will free mankind from centralized global energy cartels.
Anything you need to mine from the ground will be controlled by the government in the name of the environment, and only the crony crapitalists are given a patent over the resources under your feet.
Electricity is the way.
Oil doesen't flow out of nuclear power plants.

Fun fact: over the past few months, I realized my chronic migranes go away when I avoid carbs. I'm already largely seed-oil free, but just one handful of potatochips (I used to daily indulge in much worse) is enough to trigger a headache. Is this proof positive you are wrong and I'm right? By no means, only that keto has given me a way to manage my diet in a sustainable way while other diets do not.

### NOSTR Improvement Possibility (NIP): NPUB to Chaumian Ecash Token Anchoring for Identity Establishment
**NIP Number**: TBD
**NIP Title**: NPUB to Chaumian Ecash Token Anchoring for Identity and Web of Trust Support
**Author**: Brunswick @nprofile…mfwq
**Date**: 9/6/2024 blockheight 860202
**Status**: Draft r3
**Discussion**: "Proof of Bitcoin" #nevent1q…p7vl
---
#### **Abstract**
This NIP introduces a method to anchor a NOSTR Public Key (NPUB) to a Chaumian ecash Cashu token that is P2PK-locked to the NPUB, offering a decentralized and anonymous way to establish credibility on the NOSTR network. This method supplements the Web of Trust system, providing new users with an immediate credibility mechanism while they build their network. The proposal removes the need for additional message types, simplifying the process by allowing users to post or reference the token on their profile or through NOSTR notes.
---
#### **Motivation**
NOSTR currently lacks a clear and decentralized method for new users to establish credibility without relying on centralized services or domain-based verification. This creates a barrier for new users who do not have connections within a Web of Trust. While the Web of Trust remains a reliable long-term solution, new users need a bootstrap mechanism for credibility.
By using a Chaumian ecash Cashu token that is P2PK-locked to the NPUB, users can establish verifiable credibility without relying on a Bitcoin on-chain transaction. This proposal also simplifies the validation process, as the age and validity of the token can be checked against the Cashu mint.
---
#### **Use of Chaumian Ecash Cashu Tokens**
In this updated system:
- **Chaumian ecash Cashu tokens** are used to anchor NPUBs.
- Each token is **P2PK-locked** (Pay-to-Public-Key) to the user's NPUB.
- The token serves as proof of credibility, with its **age** verifiable through the Cashu mint.
- Users can post the token directly in their profile or reference a NOSTR note (kind 1) containing the token.
No additional message types are required, as the token itself carries all necessary information for validation.
---
#### **Integration with Web of Trust**
This token-based system serves as a **supplement** to the Web of Trust. While long-term credibility will be determined by the Web of Trust score, the token provides new users with an immediate credibility anchor until their Web of Trust connections are established.
- **Token Age as Credibility**: The credibility of the token is tied to its age, which can be validated against the Cashu mint.
- **Temporary Use**: Once users have established themselves within the Web of Trust, they may no longer need to rely on the token.
- **Flexible Trust System**: Clients and relays can prioritize posts based on Web of Trust scores or token credibility, reducing spam and bot interactions.
---
#### **Specification**
1. **Token Format**:
- A Chaumian ecash Cashu token that is P2PK-locked to the NPUB of the user.
- The token must be **posted** directly in the user’s profile or referenced in a NOSTR note (kind 1).
2. **Relay and Client Support**:
- Relays should handle tokens like other NOSTR metadata, enabling verification of the token's validity and age.
- Clients must support the ability to validate the token against the Cashu mint and factor it into the trust mechanism.
3. **Validation**:
- The token’s **age** can be verified by checking the Cashu mint for the duration it has been held above a set threshold (such as 100,000 SATs, or equivalent).
- Tokens that fall below the threshold or are revoked will reset the credibility score.
---
#### **Rationale**
This NIP provides a **lightweight, decentralized** method for new users to gain credibility on NOSTR without requiring on-chain Bitcoin transactions. The use of Chaumian ecash Cashu tokens is economical and maintains the privacy of users. It allows for easy validation and a straightforward process for establishing temporary credibility until Web of Trust connections are built.
This change eliminates the scalability concerns raised with the original proposal that relied on Bitcoin's on-chain UTXO limits, and it simplifies the process for clients and relays to implement.
---
#### **Backwards Compatibility**
This NIP remains fully compatible with existing standards such as NIP-05 and the Web of Trust. It acts as a **supplementary** method to provide a temporary credibility anchor and does not interfere with other identity systems.
---
#### **Security Considerations**
- **Token Security**: Users must ensure the security of their Chaumian ecash tokens. A compromised token could allow unauthorized individuals to claim credibility.
- **Mint Validation**: The Cashu mint should be trusted to provide reliable data for token age and validation, and its decentralization will impact the security model.
- **Spam Mitigation**: The use of tokens helps mitigate spam, but their value threshold must be set high enough to prevent abuse while remaining economical for users.

Whether a country is an anarchy or a state isn't my point, its that someone will develop a protectorate, whether democratically agreed upon or not, and its better to have a formal mechanism than none at all for the people under this system to influence that institution. A kingdom is total tyrrany, this is the definiton of tyrrany, yet the populace defends the king and the monarchy in word, in heart and deed. A mob controlling a territory is not much more than an informal fiefdom. An anarchy does not guarantee the populace will be dominated by a tyrant, but absent a harmonious, homogenous and highly cohesive society, its highly likely.

**The Illusion of Sovereignty Without Government**
There's a growing narrative in some circles, particularly within the Sovereign Citizen Movement, that by renouncing U.S. citizenship and declaring oneself a “state citizen,” one can access hidden funds or evade certain legal obligations. These beliefs rest on the idea that using certain legalistic phrases will protect individuals from government overreach or entitle them to special privileges. This mindset seems to stem from a magical view of language—that somehow, the right words can shield someone from the coercive forces of the state.
In reality, the existence of a government is not solely to infringe upon individual freedoms but to reduce the amount of harm one must tolerate in everyday life. It’s a form of a protection racket, but with the crucial distinction that it offers certain freedoms and mechanisms—such as voting, free speech, and the ability to run for office—that give citizens some influence over the system. Even though government may be filled with nepotism, cronyism, and a power elite that largely serves its own interests, it still contains elements that restrain absolute chaos.
The presence of a government, flawed though it may be, is a bulwark against the full-fledged anarchy where no rule of law exists, only the law of the strongest. Absent government, organized crime and mob rule would likely fill the vacuum, where the only form of protection is through membership in a gang or syndicate. The theory behind centralizing authority, whether through government or other power structures, is that the larger the governing entity, the more stable life becomes because there’s less crime and unpredictability to endure.
The choice between government and no government is essentially a choice between *some* theft and *complete* theft. In a world with no government, the only limit to how much a mob can steal is how much they can take before the system collapses under its own weight. In a functioning democratic republic, however imperfect, the people theoretically have the ability to limit how much is taken from them, through checks, balances, and representation.
Thus, under a representative government, you endure a limited amount of coercion and theft. It’s far from perfect, but it’s a more stable and equitable alternative to the unlimited, unregulated theft that would result from the collapse of government altogether.

Its a valid discussion to have, because some of the best minds seem to be confused about the concept of agreements.

2024-09-06 16:09:21

- reply

As an ancap, I believe the common ancap philosophy is wrong here. Contracts are central to all transactions. Most contracts are implicit, e.g. If you enter my store, you will not pocket things from the shelf and walk out without paying. I don't think the present system of copyright and patent law is not justified because it is redundant to individual contracts and makes litigation onerous. However the essence of protecting information with agreements is fully in harmony with the fundamental principals of free association and anarcho-capitalism.

Joh 1:1 KJV: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Gen 1:1 KJV: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
"The term "Word" comes from the Greek word logos, which means much more than just a "word" in the literal sense. It encompasses ideas like "reason," "divine principle," or "expression of God's will." The Word (Logos) is not Jesus himself, as trinitarians claim, but rather the divine reason through which all things, including Jesus, came into being.
Jesus, as a perfect creation of God, came into existence through the Logos, but it was also through this divine Logos that the world was created.
Gen 1:2-3 KJV: "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
"The Spirit of God in Genesis refers to God’s breath or life-giving force, which is the same as the Logos. In Genesis, this is expressed in Hebrew (ruach for spirit), and in John, this idea is conveyed using Greek (Logos). Both are manifestations of God's creative power, although the languages differ.
In essence, John is emphasizing that God, through His Logos, created Jesus perfect and without the seed of sin, unlike Adam who fell into sin. The Logos in John is personified as the divine expression, the instrument through which all creation—including Jesus—came into existence.
Joh 1:3-4 KJV: "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men."
John is explaining that everything was made through this divine Logos. The life and light that come from it are what gave rise to Jesus as the perfect man, free of Adam’s sin. Jesus, born of the Word, embodies the light of truth and love and lived among us as a perfect man. However, people failed to recognize his true nature.
Joh 1:9-11 KJV: "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not."
When John says "the world was made by him," it can also be understood as "the world was made for his purpose." The Greek word διά (diá), often translated as "by," can also mean "for the sake of" or "because of." Therefore, Jesus, as the perfect creation through the Logos, came into the world for the purpose of illuminating humanity with the true light of God, even though many failed to recognize or accept him.
Mat 28:19 KJV: "...in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
It is argued that this phrase, used by Trinitarians as evidence for the Trinity, was not part of the original text of Matthew. Historical evidence suggests that this phrase was a later addition. During the Dark Ages, when Trinitarian theology became dominant, it was common to write dedications to the Trinity in the margins of manuscripts. Over time, these marginal notes were mistakenly incorporated into the main text by scribes. Evidence from earlier manuscripts points to a simpler version of the verse, which did not contain this Trinitarian formula. Even during the 1611 translation of the King James Bible, this alteration was known, but it was retained out of respect for tradition, rather than textual accuracy.
The original text likely called for baptism in the name of Jesus, as other scriptures, particularly in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:38), consistently point to baptism being done in Jesus’ name alone, without mention of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a triune formula.
Joh 10:30 KJV: "I and my Father are one."
This verse is often used to argue that Jesus is claiming equality with or identity as God. However, the notion of being "one" can equally refer to unity of purpose and will, rather than suggesting that Jesus and the Father are the same being. The context here supports the idea that Jesus, being without sin, is perfectly aligned with the will of the Father. He is one with God in the sense that his heart, being pure and obedient, is unified with the Father’s desires and purpose.
This understanding of "oneness" is consistent with the broader scriptural teaching that believers are also called to be "one" with God. For instance, in John 17:21-23, Jesus prays that his disciples may be one "just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us." This clearly indicates that the oneness spoken of refers to unity of will and spirit, not identity of being.
Likewise, when a person receives the Holy Spirit, they are said to be in Christ and to be united with God. When we are baptized with the Spirit, the Spirit of God enters our hearts and gives us the ability to declare Jesus as Lord (1 Cor 12:3), grafting us into the family of God and making us brothers and sisters with Christ. This is the same kind of oneness that Jesus is describing in John 10:30—a oneness of purpose, will, and spirit.
Jesus and the Spirit:
Jesus performed his good works through the power of the Spirit of God that dwelled within him. This power from the Father allowed Jesus to do the miracles and righteous deeds that bore witness to his divine mission. Jesus' unity with the Father was demonstrated through his actions, which were empowered by the Spirit, not through claiming to be the same being as the Father. His statement "I and my Father are one" should be understood in the context of this spiritual and moral unity, not as an assertion of shared identity or essence with God.
1. Matthew 28:19:
- The Trinitarian baptismal formula ("in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost") is considered by some scholars to be a later addition and not part of the original text. You emphasize that earlier practices, as seen in the Book of Acts, focused on baptism in the name of Jesus alone.
2. John 10:30:
- "I and my Father are one" refers to a unity of purpose and will, not to Jesus being God. This aligns with the idea that believers too are called to be "one" with God in the same way Jesus is. The context points to a shared mission, not shared identity.
3. Jesus and the Spirit:
- Jesus’ miracles and teachings were empowered by the Spirit of God, which dwelt in him, allowing him to act in alignment with God's will. His unity with the Father is a result of his perfect obedience and the power of the Spirit, not a claim of being God Himself.
If we consider the concept of a shared illusion or misunderstanding influencing the overarching view of who Jesus is according to the Bible, we must ask whether early Christian communities, theologians, or translators might have projected interpretations that shaped either the Trinitarian or nontrinitarian views. This opens the possibility for a third perspective that could be more accurate or consistent with the Bible's teachings, if we assume that both historical theology and tradition could have introduced biases or misunderstandings.
Impact of Shared Illusion or Misinterpretation:
1. Cultural and Historical Influence:
- The development of Trinitarian theology, especially post-Nicaea, was influenced by philosophical concepts, like those from Greek metaphysics, that were external to early Jewish monotheism. A shared cultural lens might have colored the early church's understanding of divine nature, leading them to view the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a triune God. Similarly, early nontrinitarian groups (like Arianism) were influenced by their own readings and contexts, emphasizing Jesus as a created being.
2. Transmission and Translation Issues:
- The idea that certain verses, like Matthew 28:19, were altered or influenced by marginal notes or later additions suggests that our modern understanding could reflect a shared misconception passed down through time. If these changes were unintentional or part of a larger doctrinal effort, a shared illusion could be reinforced over centuries, leaving us with a distorted view of Jesus' nature.
A Possible Third View:
With the possibility of shared illusions in mind, a third view might emerge as more likely than either Trinitarianism or nontrinitarianism. This view could focus on:
1. Jesus as God's Agent and Ideal Human:
- A third, intermediary perspective could portray Jesus as a unique, divinely appointed agent of God, sent to fulfill a special mission of salvation, but without the metaphysical complexity of being either co-eternal with God (Trinitarianism) or simply a created being (nontrinitarianism). In this view, Jesus represents the ideal human, chosen to exemplify God’s will, embody God’s Logos (divine reason), and act with full divine authority without being literally divine himself.
2. A Functional Oneness, Not Ontological Oneness:
- Instead of focusing on the substance of Jesus' being (as Trinitarianism does) or his created nature (as nontrinitarianism does), this view could emphasize Jesus' functional relationship with God. Jesus is "one with the Father" in mission, purpose, and alignment with God's will, as suggested in John 17:21-23, but this oneness does not imply sameness of essence. It reflects a perfect, sinless human being empowered by God to carry out divine works.
3. Jesus as a Manifestation of God’s Word Without Divinity:
- This view might hold that Jesus embodies the *Logos* (Word) not by being the eternal Word made flesh but by fully manifesting God's message and will on Earth. This allows for the concept that Jesus is the perfect representative of God, but not God himself. It would fit well with the idea that Jesus performs miracles through the Spirit of God and that his relationship to the Father is one of perfect submission and harmony, not ontological equality.
Biblical Evidence for the Third View:
1. John 5:19: "The Son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does."
- This indicates a deep relationship between Jesus and the Father but emphasizes Jesus' dependence on the Father rather than equality.
2. John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
- Jesus clearly identifies the Father as the "only true God" while placing himself as the one sent by God, not as God himself.
3. 1 Timothy 2:5: "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus."
- This verse supports the view of Jesus as a mediator, a special human appointed to bridge the gap between humanity and God, rather than being divine himself.
4. Acts 2:22: "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know."
- This reinforces the idea that Jesus, though empowered by God, is portrayed as a man through whom God worked, rather than being inherently divine.
The Implications of This Third View:
- Avoiding Both Extremes: This view avoids the metaphysical complexities of Trinitarianism (where three persons share one essence) and the strict subordinationism of nontrinitarianism (where Jesus is simply a created being). It emphasizes Jesus as a perfect human aligned with God’s will and filled with God’s Spirit, empowered to act as God’s representative but not to be conflated with God Himself.
- Culturally and Historically Grounded:
This view might be more consistent with first-century Jewish monotheism, which saw God as absolutely one and emphasized prophets and messianic figures as specially chosen agents. It avoids later philosophical developments that influenced Trinitarian formulations.
- Biblically Coherent: This perspective can incorporate a range of scriptural teachings about Jesus’ unique role as the *Logos* without requiring his eternal co-equality with the Father. It allows for Jesus' full humanity and his role as the ultimate reflection of God's will and power on Earth, while maintaining God’s singularity.
Conclusion:
If we entertain the concept of a shared illusion or historical misinterpretation, this third view—Jesus as the perfect, sinless human agent of God, empowered by the Spirit but not ontologically divine—could emerge as a more coherent and biblically grounded alternative. This view emphasizes Jesus' unique relationship with God as the ideal, sinless human being, fully united with God’s purpose, but not equal to God in essence. It sidesteps the doctrinal conflicts between Trinitarianism and nontrinitarianism, presenting a biblically faithful understanding that emphasizes Jesus' role without requiring complex theological constructs.

I had a very productive meeting with a friend last night. We discussed Trump at the bitcoin conference, Lumis, all of the "bitcoiners" around Trump, the sudden about face of Jamie Diamon on bitcoin and the "defection" of Kennedy.
Why is Trump committed to making energy so abundant? It all points to one thing.
Trump was chosen by the deep state to squash bitcoin. He is pacing and leading on the topic and when he is selected into office he will make many announcements that bitcoiners will get very excited about. Legislation and executive orders will be passed, but they all are designed to poison the well.
* Free energy is bad for bitcoin.
* Controlling semiconductor fabs by bringing them into the US, is bad for bitcoin.
* Incriminating stablesats (something Strike does) is bad for bitcoin.
What do I mean by bad for bitcoin? I mean it slows adoption. Price action, even if you see as irrelevent, is a major orange-pilling force.
The price of bitcoin during this and past epochs is closely tied to its cost of production. At least part the cost of production is set by the average cost of electricity to produce blocks. Ultimately, the base price of bitcoin is calculable by the amount of profitable mining equipment, operational expenses, the current hashpower and the average cost of mining pool energy. Make electricity 1/10th the cost and the cost of fresh bitcoins at least gets cut in half. Hashpower and difficulty is not determined by the price of electricity, but by the trading price of bitcoin and the semiconductor fab bottleneck. The amount of energy expended per block is determined by the amount of profitable equipment is in existence. Therefore free energy is bad for bitcoin.
Incriminating stablesats is bad for bitcoin adoption, and goos for the dollar. Stablesats enables the bitcoin network to piggyback on the unit of account in existing jurisdictions. This means you can send and recieve bitcoin over the lightning network with a stablesats partner with instant settlement and no counterparty risk AND without needing to track your buy and sale price of bitcoin. No capital gains taxation involved. This makes stablecoins, which are backed by fiat, obsolete. As you should already know, stablecoins are partnered with central banks and the treasury of the state. They are merely another parallel central bank. Stablesats breaks central banking because a stablesat bitcoin lightning channel or stablenut mint is backed only by bitcoin and adjusts purely on market oracles. No dollars or government issued treasuries are involved.
In summary; When Trump stood in front of the shitcoin conference (evidenced by the croud cheering at firing Gensler) and the repeated "bitcoin and crypto" phrase, then he closed by telling us to "have fun playing with your bitcoin and crypto"; he revealed his intent. He is pacing and leading because he wants to lead the bitcoin movement. Why? In order to control it. He wants to control it because Bitcoin is bad for the government, it takes power away from it. Trump knows the fiat dollar is the US government's greatest source of strength both abroad and domestically. Trump has said he "likes the dollar" when asked about bitcoin. Trump is now surrounding himself with bitcoiners, and creating bitcoiners-in-name-only like Diamon.
Can Trump be trusted to force power from hands of congress, the deep state, intelligence and surveillance agencies and the military industrial complex? Are you delusional? The "Art lf the deal" guy, the one who coined the phrase "you can only negotiate from a position of strength" is going to lay down arms? I think not.

If you dare to defy the laws imposed by the government—no matter how absurd or unjust they may be—you’ll quickly find that those around you, who are abiding by those very laws, will become extremely angry. Why? Because they’ve invested heavily in ensuring they don’t cross the line that law enforcement has drawn. In a sense, the government sets the rules of the social game between strangers, and when you break those rules, you’re seen as a threat to the fragile peace and harmony that they believe those laws maintain. It's a stark reminder of just how deeply embedded these social contracts have become in our collective psyche.

If you close your channrl early, or your node is constantly down and you have their funds locked up in a useless channel, its fair to loop back later and revise their rating with a bad one but justification and explanation is warranted otherwise a bad rating will probably be ignored by most. Honestly, its reasonable to expect them to contact you with feedback and questions if they see your node is misbehaving since its likely you aren't aware of it.

Funny propane tank story.
I refilled a 20lb cylinder last month and my outdoor stove started burning yellow instead of blue. I left a cast iron pan on today and forgot about it, came back four hours later and half the tank was gone and a quarter inch of black soot built up on the pan. I could still see the emblem on the bottom because the soot preserved the shape exactly.

If we correct for sex-based diagnostic bias and take into account the potential for misdiagnosis, it is plausible that women could indeed be more likely to have autism in the top quartile of IQ compared to men, once you align the IQ bell curves between genders. Here’s why:
### 1. **Masking and High IQ**:
- Women with higher IQs may be particularly adept at masking or compensating for autistic traits. This can lead to their autism being overlooked during childhood or even into adulthood. As a result, many high-IQ women with autism might have historically gone undiagnosed.
### 2. **Underdiagnosis of Women**:
- Given that women are often diagnosed later in life or misdiagnosed with other conditions (like anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder), the actual number of autistic women, particularly those in the higher IQ range, might be underestimated.
### 3. **IQ and Autism Spectrum Disorders**:
- Autism can manifest differently across the IQ spectrum, with high-IQ individuals sometimes exhibiting more subtle or socially acceptable traits. This could mean that high-IQ women, who are already underdiagnosed, are more likely to fall through the cracks, particularly in the top quartile.
### 4. **Rebalancing the Ratios**:
- If you correct the distribution of diagnoses between men and women, you might find that the incidence of autism among women is higher in the top IQ quartile than previously thought. This could lead to a more balanced male-to-female ratio in this group or even a higher prevalence in women if the adjustments are significant.
### Conclusion:
After correcting for the sex differences in diagnosis and considering potential missed diagnoses, it's possible that women might be more likely to have autism in the top quartile of IQ when the IQ distributions are normalized. This reflects the idea that many high-IQ women with autism may have been underdiagnosed due to their ability to mask symptoms or because their traits don't align with traditional diagnostic criteria.
This hypothesis aligns with emerging research suggesting that the underdiagnosis of autism in women, particularly those with higher IQs, could be more significant than previously understood.

The best route is to generate your keys with an airgapped device like @nprofile…xe5k and keep your keys stored securely stamped into steel or another metal (hint, only the first four letters matter). Keep the order correct! The last two seed words contain checksum so you know if you flubbed it. Its also important to stamp in the 8-character hex checksum for most wallets. Use xpub to create watch-only online wallets to generate btc addresses to send to. Use your offline signing device to send btc out of the wallet. This way your keys never touch the internet.
Be sure to keep your computers and phones in a different room when handling your seedphrase.

Enter your keys (seed phrase) into a second hardware wallet (like seedsigner), generate an xpub with seedsigner from your keys and scan the xpub qr from your hardware wallet with your phone's wallet like bluewallet or nunchuk. You should see your transactions now in this new watch-only wallet. This is confirmation you have the correct seed words stored offline.

"Traditional forms of media, like newspapers, television, and radio, have long been tools for shaping public opinion, influencing behavior, and directing attention toward particular narratives, products, or ideas. Advertisers, political groups, and others have used media to influence public perception and behavior for their own benefit, often with profit or power as the primary motive.
What makes social media distinct is the scale, speed, and precision with which it can direct attention and influence behavior. Social media platforms leverage algorithms, personal data, and real-time interaction to create highly targeted experiences, often amplifying the effects of influence and manipulation far beyond what traditional media could achieve. This gives social media a unique capacity to act as a "honeypot" in ways that are more pervasive and personal, but conceptually, it's a continuation of patterns seen in all media.

We already forgot that Apple tried to censor Damus, but @nprofile…9929 fought against it, someone invented a workaround, and zaps are still integral to the nostr experience regardless. If an open source app developer censored people for their political speech, nobody would use the app, it would be forked and re-distributed anonymously, and the government's efforts to censor would be fruitless. Nostr takes the "platform" choke-point away from social media, and in doing so, there is no "nostr ceo" to imprison.

Lyn,
I hate to say a bitcoin-twitter influencoor is stupid, but Parker simply doesn't understand nostr enough to make any argument against it. His statements betray his ignorance: calling nostr clients "platforms", talking about open source projects for nostr clients like they need to be run by a SEC ruled public corporation, not grasping the nature of relays and their relationship to individual users, being blind to incentives and business models around nostr. Beyond that, he ignores your jurisdictional diversification argument. Perhaps you should ask him to read NIP-01 before he argues against nostr again. Of course, i'm not on X so I won't have the opportunity to get dismissed by him

If I'm training a marketing person on how to get people in the nostr funnel, I would ask them to create a campaign about why nostr is dangerous to governments because it doesen't have the easy target choke-point of centralized social media platforms. It eliminates the need to trust a billionaire to protect the most essential human right, one who got rich off of elite connections to obfuscate bank regulations to create the first online money transmission business, made billions through government grift programs like carbon taxes and cafe standards that increased the cost of living for everyone in the world, and used his influence to rake in unknown levels of profits by going on woke television and grifting one of the oldest shitcoins.

The greatest threat vector to nostr is to allow social-selling to make the base-implementation protocol too complex for a new dev to quickly spin up a basic social app. I believe the protocol architecture, clear goals and the NIP system mitigates but doesen't eliminate the possibility.

This is how people are solving the soy-TOFU problem (Trust On First Use). Not so much as nostr has a problem with new users needing to trust other nostriches, but they can't carry-over their identity and credibility from other platforms. Yes, its a soyboy bitch about nostr, why should you have instant credibility on another platform with no work? But its a valid point that people shoukd have a way of authenticating themselves in nostr without posting their new identity on the old platform (because of censorship by the platform).
So how do you do it?
Rather than promoting your own new identity, demote imposters. This is possible by associating yourself with a bitcoin wallet address that you post on both platforms. This way, you are saying on either platform "I accept donations at this address" without explicitly indicating you are moving away from the compromised platform. If, on nostr, you can include a message signed by the wallet's private key indicating that your npub also controls that same wallet address, then you have proof positive on nostr that you are who you say you are.
