X just keeps getting worse and worse. Barely any way to reach your audience. It's getting harder and harder to build a community there. Legacy social media is dying as it just keeps getting overrun by Indian bot farms. Being on Nostr just makes sense. The engagements here are a lot more meaningful, and people pay me sats for my posts.

4.12.3. "Is the Cypherpunks agenda _too extreme_?" - Bear in mind that most of the "Cypherpunks agenda," to the extent we can identify it, is likely to provoke ordinary citizens into _outrage_. Talk of anonymous mail, digital money, money laundering, information markets, data havens, undermining authority, transnationalism, and all the rest (insert your favorite idea) is not exactly mainstream. 4.12.4. "Crypto Anarchy sounds too wild for me." - I accept that many people will find the implications of crypto anarchy (which follows in turn from the existence of strong cryptography, via the Crypto Anarchy Principle) to be more than they can accept. - This is OK (not that you need my OK!). The house of Cypherpunks has many rooms. View quoted note β†’
Genuinely worth a listen. This might be the single best podcast episode for explaining Bitcoin to normie Muslims who are stuck inside traditional finance frameworks. He breaks down a lot of the core ideas from @Saifedean Ammous's Bitcoin Standard in a way they can actually digest. He’s basically the Muslim Michael Saylor! (minus the riba vibes, obviously, I just mean the orange pilling energy)

SAIF is the only thing that is able to fuse both cypherpunk sovereignty and hyperstitional cybernetics into a single Islamic civilizational engine by giving both a shared metaphysics + moral telos, and a coherent mission for building actual power in digital frontier View quoted note β†’
