Great work Joe!

Let's not forget in these moments it's not about LEFT versus RIGHT.
It's about freedom (versus taking away freedom from others).
Freedom to live. Freedom to think. Freedom to talk.

The GitHub link you shared is from the Diploma version from 2022, and also from a Github account that we dont use (I dont even know if this is ours, tbh)
Things have changed since 2022; this is the best page to look at: https://github.com/MyFirstBitcoin/Bitcoin-Diploma-2025

I know! We moved from pay-per-view to a V4V model actually with Bitcoin Focus. But the audience was small
(Dutch -> Dutchies into crypto -> Dutch bitcoiners -> Dutch bitcoiners who use LN -> Dutch bitcoiners who use LN to support independent creators -> Dutch bitcoiners who use LN to support independent creators regularly.
But I’m extra grateful for those who do support us, and acknowledge the niche in a niche in a niche .

This.
Few know.
“Why don’t you ask xyz, they’re a cool bitcoin-only company” — not knowing everyone asks them and they leave money in the table with their ethos and have often less to spend.
“Do value4value, it’s the future” — we did this with BitcoinFocus too, pay-per-view for a premium newsletter, €1 per article. But you need a LOT of readers. Paywalls aren’t cool. Full free accessible content is what creators want.
And on top of that — after securing some sponsorships — remaining independent as a creator is bloody difficult..
It’s tough… good luck mate 👏🏻

Why is nostr.com still referring to "social media", instead of fixing the internet? On the official website (npub1c878wu04lfqcl5avfy3p5x83ndpvedaxv0dg7pxthakq3jqdyzcs2n8avm)
This is the preview when people search for it:

Not your keys, but your coins.
— Even though the coins are just strings of code and math, but we value it because of verifiable scarcity.
Not your keys, not your account.
— Even though the account is just a string of code and a record of notes, but we value it because of verifiable reputation.
It’s all about the value we create for our keys, and the value others attach to these digital abstract artifacts.

Good memories! When nostr suddenly turned nature+hippy instead of only tech+nerdy

2025-02-08 13:06:23 UTC

🤯 Scarcity in perspective. What does it really mean?
Let's compare BITCOIN with our PLANET. And then specifically the 21 million BTC with the surface of 510 million km². This includes 71% water, 29% of land surface.
If you own 1 BTC today (worth $100.000), you own something equal to the islands of Tuvalu. And if you own 100 BTC today (worth $10 million), you own something equal to Luxembourg.
1 BTC = Tuvalu (25 km²) 🇹🇻
10 BTC = Palau (459 km²) 🇵🇼
100 BTC = Luxembourg (2,586 km²) 🇱🇺
1,000 BTC = North Macedonia (25,713 km²) 🇲🇰
10,000 BTC = UK 🇬🇧
210,000 BTC = Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
393,000 BTC = USA 🇺🇸, China 🇨🇳
411,600 BTC = Canada 🇨🇦 → MicroStrategy is here
703,500 BTC = Russia 🇷🇺
7M BTC = all LAND
For comparison:
🇳🇱 The Netherlands is ~41,543 km², which equals 1.701 BTC
🇸🇻 El Salvador is ~21,041 km², which equals 861 BTC

The irony is that criminals have their faces blurred on police footage when they’re arrested, or court drawings, while we have to give our passport/identity stuff to law enforcement agencies so they can trace those same criminals down with KYC.

Sometimes when I’m bored I just open some random apps too doomscroll.
It used to be X, Instagram, LinkedIn, others. Every time switching between apps, different feed and a new dopamine rushes.
Some weeks ago I deleted all of them. Nostr only
Now I notice a couple of times opening @npub18m7…q955, @npub12vk…pugg, and @npub1yzv…rf8q in a row. But it doesn’t make sense because the feed is the same lol. But the habit is still there sometimes — it’s confronting me haha.
Btw .. I know I can get different/more/bigger feeds if I want to doomscroll on nostr with different clients. But still..! :)

Deleted Twitter and Instagram on my phone some weeks ago, and Nostr has been replacing this nicely actually.
Still opportunities to scroll if I want to be lazy, using several clients for whatever I want (read notes, long reads, or Olas).
Just removing “old social media” apps from your pocket is a first good step if you don’t want to delete entire accounts.
