Algorithms are no longer just code. They manipulate attention, reward obedience, and shape behavior. Today, an innocent life was lost in Kerala because people obeyed an algorithm over conscience. Stop selling your soul to systems that don’t care if you live or die.

Just as death is certain, which gives value to life, Bitcoin’s fixed supply brings clarity and value to our time and labor, unlike the uncertainty of fiat money.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.

We have the technology to end slavery in our lifetime. That may sound extreme, but it is true. Slavery did not disappear. It evolved. Today it rarely appears as chains or physical ownership. Instead, it shows up as coercion, surveillance, permission, and dependency built into everyday systems. Modern control is often economic rather than violent. Inflation quietly erodes purchasing power. Wages struggle to keep up with rising costs. Opting out of certain systems is punished through exclusion, penalties, or loss of opportunity. Physical force has largely been replaced by economic pressure, and compliance has replaced consent. Over time, this became normalized. Theft was rebranded as policy. Currency debasement was justified as necessary. Control over money, movement, and opportunity was handed to institutions, and most people adapted without ever consenting to these rules. What changed is not human nature, but technology. For the first time in history, individuals have access to tools that allow peaceful exit rather than confrontation. Open networks, decentralized systems, self custody, and permissionless communication now exist at a global scale. These systems do not rely on trust in rulers or centralized institutions. They operate on math, transparency, and voluntary participation. No one needs permission to use them, and no authority can arbitrarily revoke access. This is not about rebellion or overthrow. It is about choice. The ability to opt out of systems that rely on coercion, silent theft, and forced dependency. Technology alone will not create freedom. People must still learn, adopt, and defend these tools. But for the first time, freedom is not just a philosophical idea or a political promise. It is a technical reality. And that changes everything. #bitcoin

For many, Bitcoin is not a political project or a promise to fix the world. It is a personal solution. A way to opt out quietly. A peaceful form of resistance. When Bitcoin is held in self-custody, power shifts away from centralized financial institutions. Control over money returns to the individual. There is no intermediary, no permission, and no dependency on the stability or goodwill of the system. That changes when Bitcoin is held in custody. Custodial Bitcoin restores the same power structures it was meant to escape. It turns a bearer asset into a claim. It enables rehypothecation, leverage, and financial engineering. Used this way, Bitcoin becomes another tool for reinforcing fiat influence rather than challenging it. Most people will choose convenience. They will hold Bitcoin in custody. They will use it as collateral. They will treat it as an instrument instead of a form of sovereignty. That reality limits Bitcoin’s ability to fix the system at a global level. But that does not make it meaningless. Bitcoin still works as a personal exit. A way to protect savings, preserve autonomy, and withdraw consent from a system built on debasement, debt and control. Even if systemic change is slow or incomplete, individual sovereignty remains possible. That alone makes it worthwhile. Bitcoin does not need universal adoption to matter. It only needs to function for those who use it as designed. Self-custody is not a preference. It is the point. For many, it is not about speculation or ideology. It is about survival, dignity, and control over one’s future.

Don’t sell your soul to the algorithm. Most modern platforms don’t optimize for truth, clarity, or understanding. They optimize for engagement. Engagement is not wisdom. It is reaction. The system learns what provokes emotion, and then quietly slowly pushes everyone to speak in those tones. Over time, this changes how people think. You stop asking whether something is true or meaningful, and start asking whether it will perform. The incentive structure trains behavior long before it feels like coercion. This is how integrity erodes without censorship. No one forces you to lie. You are simply rewarded when you exaggerate, simplify, or trigger. careful thought gets buried. Thoughtfulness gets ignored. Gradually, people learn to distort their own beliefs just enough to stay visible. The cost is internal. When your speech is shaped by metrics, your thinking follows. Your ideas become fragments designed for attention, not understanding. You begin optimizing yourself, and eventually you forget what you actually believe. That is what it means to sell your soul. Nostr exists as a rejection of this model. There is no central feed deciding who deserves attention. No invisible ranking system steering behavior. Your words stand on their own, without algorithmic amplification or suppression. If they spread, it is because people chose them. If they don’t, nothing is taken from you. That is freedom. Freedom of speech is not just the absence of censorship. It is the absence of incentives that quietly corrupt honesty. It is the ability to speak clearly without negotiating with a machine. Say what you mean. Write what you believe. Let the signal find its own path. Don’t sell your soul for reach. Because once speech becomes performance, truth becomes optional.
