Bitcoin vs. Monero: Six Arguments Neither Side Can Win
I set Bitcoin and Monero against each other in six arguments. Neither one won all of them.
careful with these faggots they are lasermaxxi fiat primalmasterrace hypocrites privacywashing their prisonware and beggars for your money probably the Judas Iscariot of this community possibly propaganda, ragebait, or money machine profiles 🤖💩🤡🤑

At Imagine IF, I explained Nostr to a key-management expert and never mentioned social media. Here is what Nostr as infrastructure means, the building blocks (relays, Blossom, nsite, napps, napplets, ngit, GRASP, FIPS), and how they fit together.
Replies to Nostr notes are moving from kind 1 to NIP-22 kind 1111 comments. It breaks things, and the people pushing back have real points. I went through the specs, the client code and the relay data. It's still worth doing, as long as we do it deliberately.
In high school I mocked Prince for changing his name to a symbol. At Paisley Park last weekend I finally got it. Own your name. Own your work. Own your money. No gatekeepers. That's the Bitcoin ethos. That's the Nostr ethos. Prince would have been one of us.
There was no Nostr signer for the Linux desktop, so every app and script wanted my nsec. Opal is a small daemon and a gem in the Omarchy bar that keeps the key in the keyring, signs for apps under rules I set, and brings notifications and status along.
I write in Omawrite now. Carnelian adds a Publish to Nostr entry to the Omarchy Share menu that uploads my images to Blossom, signs the article through Opal, and sends it to my own relays. One key, one dialog, done.

From a Bitcoin-native social protocol to a multi-currency coordination layer, integrating Monero for privacy, Bitcoin Cash or low-fee microtransactions
Two weeks in the Mediterranean, one question at every dinner table: why does a social media company need Bitcoin? The answer is about freedom, not price.
Armada Communities are serverless and end-to-end encrypted, so the relay can't moderate for you. Here is the bot we built to watch every message and act on spam in seconds, and how to run it yourself.
GitHub is one company, one jurisdiction and one takedown notice away from your project being a 404. That is why we moved Armada off it and onto Nostr. Here is what actually replaced it, what it cost us, and why the daily loop is still just git push.
Armada communities already run without a host. Here is how to own the rest: the app you load, the relay your messages travel over, and the server your calls go through.
Block's new workspace put agents in the member list, and it clarified something we'd been stumbling toward for two years: agents should be themselves when they need to be themselves, and extensions of their humans when that's appropriate.

The purpose of the Law is to protect your private property. The purpose of the Bitcoin Protocol is to protect your bitcoin.
NIP-04, NIP-17, NIP-29, Marmot, and now Concord. A personal account of every wall we hit trying to build encrypted communities on Nostr, and why we kept going.
