The most valuable opportunities emerge not from credentials or platforms, but from genuine conversation between curious minds.

What Bitcoin and Nostr Did to Social Capital— Traditional networking operates on the simple premise that relationships are strategic assets. You collect connections for leverage. You position yourself between people who should probably just talk directly. Your value comes from controlling access, not from what you create. It works because platforms create artificial scarcity. Algorithms decide reach. Gatekeepers control distribution. The person who knows the right people holds real power. Nostr and Bitcoin change the underlying structure completely. There’s no platform controlling who can reach who. No algorithm to game. No gatekeeper extracting value from introductions. The architecture itself removes the scarcity that made strategic networking valuable. What emerges is different. Connections still form, but they form around proof of work instead of proximity. Someone builds something useful, shares insight that helps others, contributes signal to the conversation. The network notices. Not through strategic positioning but through actual output. Bitcoin adds a dimension traditional networks never had, immediate value settlement. When you zap someone’s work, the exchange completes right there. No social debt. No implied future favor. Just direct recognition of value created. The paradox is that trying to network strategically becomes the least effective path. There’s no chokepoint to position yourself in. No access to control. The infrastructure doesn’t support extraction. But proof of work connects naturally. Build something, people building similar things find you. Share what you’re learning, people learning the same things engage. Create value, value flows back. It’s not that everyone must build or create. Plenty of people are here to learn, to observe, to absorb information. That’s completely valid. It’s just that the networking dynamics shifted from “who you know” to “what you’ve done.” The proof of work itself becomes the connection point. The frame changed. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The overlap between Antifa and gym membership appears minimal based on the videos I’ve been watching.

🚨Watch This 🚨 If our government tolerates foreign parliamentary declarations targeting American citizens for exercising constitutionally protected speech, we have already surrendered sovereignty. American discourse is governed by Americans, accountable to Americans, on American soil. Any elected official who remains silent while a foreign state names and targets our citizens has chosen their allegiance. We either defend the right of Americans to speak freely without foreign legislative interference, or we admit we are no longer a sovereign nation. Which is likely where headed with we don’t stop this Israeli BS now. Dispensationalism has poisoned the American church into abandoning the Lordship of Christ for political Zionism. We don’t owe theological loyalty to any earthly state. Our Kingdom is not of this world, and our King doesn’t share His glory with governments that reject Him. Stop letting heretical eschatology dictate your politics. Christ is Lord. Not Netanyahu. Not the Knesset. Not any flag. Your allegiance was purchased with blood at Calvary, not promised to a modern political entity that crucifies His name.

Sneak Peak—- [chorus] Diamond hands forever, I ain't never letting go HODL through the bear markets, watch my stack grow They can shake the paper hands, FUD won't break my soul Twenty-year horizon, that's my only goal

Your followers are posting absolute fire and I have no idea they exist. That’s the reality of Nostr. We’re all living in our own network bubbles. The people you follow and interact with every day? I’ve probably never seen them. And the people in my feed? Completely invisible to you. No algorithm mixing us together. No corporate feed forcing connections. Just pure decentralized chaos where entire communities exist parallel to each other, never touching. Some of you have been around me for months or years. We’re locked in. But your followers? The people YOU think are brilliant? I’m missing all of them. And you’re missing all of mine. This is both Nostr’s greatest strength and its biggest challenge. We actually have to work to expand the network. Discovery doesn’t happen automatically. It happens through reposts, through signal, through people actively bridging their networks together. Right now, someone in your follow list is dropping knowledge I need to see. Perspectives that would shift how I think. Content that matters. And I’m completely blind to it because our graphs haven’t connected yet. So here’s what I want. I want to see who YOU follow. I want your network to crash into mine. I want the people you respect to show up in my feed. If you’ve never interacted with my content before, if we exist in different parts of this protocol, REPOST this. Let your followers see it. Let’s smash these network bubbles together and see what happens. This is how Nostr actually grows. Not through algorithms. Through us actively choosing to expand the graph. Your people need to meet my people. Let’s make it happen.

A work in progress. Didn’t spend much time on it.
