Someone asked for my thoughts, so I’ll share them thoughtfully. I’m not here to dictate how to promote Nostr—I’m still learning about it myself. While I’m not new to Nostr, freedom tech is a newer space for me. I’m skilled at advocating for topics I deeply understand, but freedom tech isn’t my expertise, so take my words with a grain of salt. Nothing I say is set in stone.

Those who need Nostr the most are the ones most vulnerable to censorship on other platforms right now. Reaching them requires real-time awareness of global issues and the dynamic relationships between governments and tech providers, which can shift suddenly. Effective Nostr promoters must grasp this and adapt quickly.

The best messengers are people from or closely tied to these at-risk regions—those who truly understand the local political and cultural dynamics. They can connect with those in need when tensions rise. Ideal promoters are rational, trustworthy, passionate about Nostr, but above all, dedicated to amplifying people’s voices when it matters most.

Forget influencers, corporate-backed figures, or traditional online PR—it comes off as inauthentic, corny, desperate and forced. Nostr’s promotion should be grassroots and organic, driven by a few passionate individuals who believe in Nostr and the communities they serve.

The idea that “people won’t join Nostr due to lack of reach” is nonsense. Everyone knows X’s “reach” is mostly with bots. If humans want real conversations, Nostr is the place. X is great for propaganda, but Nostr is for the authentic voices of the people.

Those spreading Nostr must be so passionate they’re willing to onboard others, which is time-consuming but rewarding for the right person. They’ll need to make Nostr and onboarding a core part of who they are. I see no issue with that level of dedication. I’ve been known to get that way myself at times. It’s fun for some folks.

With love, I suggest not adding Bitcoin promotion with Nostr outreach. Zaps already integrate that element naturally. (Still promote within the Bitcoin ecosystem, but this is about reaching vulnerable voices who needed Nostr yesterday.)

To promote Nostr, forget conventional strategies. “Influencers” aren’t the answer. “Influencers” are not the future. A trusted local community member has real influence—reach them. Connect with people seeking Nostr’s benefits but lacking the technical language to express it. This means some in the Nostr community might need to step outside of the Bitcoin bubble, which is uncomfortable but necessary. Thank you in advance to those who are willing to do that.

I don’t know who is paid to promote Nostr, if anyone. This piece isn’t shade. But it’s exhausting to see innocent voices globally silenced on corporate platforms like X while Nostr exists. Last night, I wondered: how many more voices must be censored before the Nostr community gets uncomfortable and thinks creatively to reach the vulnerable?

A warning: the global need for censorship-resistant social media is undeniable. If Nostr doesn’t make itself known, something else will fill that void. Let’s start this conversation.

The second round of the NBA Playoffs is historically weird. We'll try to figure out what's going wrong for all three of the presumed contenders. Which of the other East teams need to be considered contenders now? With how bad the Warriors look without Steph (just how underrated is he?), do the Warriors still have any chance?

In Blok'd Shots, we'll talk about the NHL Star who got traded midseason and then beat his former team in the playoffs.

There was a big trade in the NFL. Plus, @grayruby wants to start a media beef with Colin Cowherd.

The MLB introduced a new stat. I have no idea what it is, but I'm looking forward to trying to understand it live on air.

And, of course, lots of contest and betting updates.

What do you want us to talk about?

It was a dark and stormy night. It had to be: Weather had been fired. If they were working for him he would have fired them, but that is just embarrassed arrogance talking. He remembers standing in the middle of his office, his trashed office. It looked like a hurricane had hit it, or vagrants had been living in it for years, nothing of value was left intact. Monitors were shattered on the floor, couches were covered in debris. There was evidence of food and magazine pages in every gaze space. His supervisor, his name escaped him, was grey with anger. “Explain this!” he had shouted with a tremble, but he couldn’t. Every time he tried to think of the events of the day he met a dazzling white blankness.

He was escorted, handcuffed, to a room by two security guards with his supervisor trailing them. Weather felt humiliated and frustrated, but he didn’t know why. He sat, shivering slightly, in a low-lit conference room he had never seen before. Actually, he doesn’t remember any windows or any specific light source, just a haze of shadows. The big boss is sitting opposite him, looking haggard and white as a sun-bleached shell. His supervisor was sitting on his right looking equally haggard and even depressed. They appeared genuine and he knew it was bad news for him.

“You’ve embarrassed this company! There is even a chance you have ruined us all and you have the audacity to sit there and pretend that you can’t remember a thing!”

He knew there was no point in arguing, he had no ideas with which to make up any argument. He sat staring into space.

“At least, give us a story. Tell us how bored you were and tried to create your own weather system by running around the room swinging the fan around like a sugar mad teenager!”

He couldn’t even clear his throat. He couldn’t lift his eyes to meet theirs. He knew his career was over and they were fearful all their ideals had crashed irreparably. He stared into space at the globe standing in the middle of the table. The more he stared at it the more he realized that it seemed to have an atmosphere around it. There were clouds covering patches of the earth. He didn’t dare bring their attention to it. The only memories he could dredge up seemed like dreams, and they’re hardly constitute a defence.

He looked up at their faces finally, surprised to see more alarm than anger, like they were actually afraid of him. They both stood up suddenly, wanting to get out the room as quickly as possible.

“You have brought Global Sky Incorporated into disrepute. You’ve embarrassed us. You have possibly ruined hundreds of careers here! We never want to see you again! You are never to come within a hundred metres of this building. You can never use your research ever again, it never happened. Everything you have ever written will be classified and restricted until you are dead!” The big boss was shaking wild, Weather was grateful for the security guards that hurled him out of his chair and marched him out of the building.

The afternoon sky had been a deathly grey. It had occurred to him but now he was a little shocked at how much control they had over the weather, maybe it was a good thing that he had been fired, but probably a bad thing as they would certainly make worse mistakes than him, whatever he might have done. He was confused, not sure if he been fired for trashing his office or for state of the weather. About the weird weather he has no idea, all he can remember is a dazzling blank whiteness, and that is hardly a memory.

He couldn’t face going directly home, jumped on public transport travelling on tracks laid down on old unused highways and headed for the city beach, or what passed for a beach. He sat on a concrete bench gazing across the grey sand at the shimmering waves. They weren’t shimmering because of the sparkling sunlight, but the contaminates in the water. But still it was tranquil enough. He tried to think about his day, but couldn’t get past the white blankness, everything else before that was like a postcard from someone else’s holiday, and they looked like movies he might have seen. He has a framed vision of himself in his office with office supplies flying around him without touching him. Clearly, as they weren’t touching him, it had nothing to do with his behaviour. He is a victim here. It wasn’t his fault, the world was changing and the powers that be wanted more control. It seems like Global Weather Incorporated (GWI) lost control of their equipment and need a fall guy, they didn’t need him anymore. Squeezed his brain for the algorithms, then threw him onto the streets. He was nothing without his research, it’s all he had done his entire life. He would have to pursue it, but that would as useful as talking to a brick wall, the world was less transparent; government, science and advertising companies had a law of their own and a police force to uphold them.

He believed in good and the unveiling of truth. He had a romantic connection to the idea that truth grew in people’s hearts that everyone wanted the best for everyone else, no matter what skin colour, car colour they had, or star sign they were born under. Everybody wanted peace, a roof over their heads and food in their bellies; and wanted these things for their neighbours too. If only his neighbours had the same beliefs.

It was late afternoon now. He could tell by the slight luminosity of the grey clouds near the horizon, close to a cloudless gap, a slit above the horizon through which the sun could bid its final farewell to the day. He was in no mood for a sunset minute. He picked his bum off the bench, dusted it off and began his journey home, not wanting to be left in the dark in the city, opportune prey for corrupt cops. Everyone was coming out of the offices, beginning the big commute home. Car pools had reshaped their cars to fit more people in, and many climbed on to the reinvented trams, sitting if they were lucky, holding onto ceiling straps if they were unlucky like him. Couples sat together staring into each other’s eyes, friends joked and discussed their office politics. He hated the commute back and forth from work, it made him feel alone, desperate and unwanted. There had been no office politics for him, it was just him and his mostly silent supervisor.

The sky was struck red, a wound inflicted on the sky, it bleed for a minute then all went dark. Reality shuddered as it returned to him, this would be his last commute along this route. He was without a job; his recently regained self-esteem was destroyed. At the end of university he had wondered if he had a career anywhere, if his self-inflicted social isolation had been worth it and GWI had lifted him out of academic gutter and placed him on a pedestal. And now he was turfed out like a partly cloudy day from a child’s memory, flicked off like an ant off a picnic blanket.

Litter was being chased up and down the aisle, wrapping around legs and trying to hide from the wind amongst commuters’ bags. He didn’t notice that the commuters were becoming concerned about the weather, heads turned to look outside where the clouds were blacker than night. Wind has beating on windows, knocking on doors trying to escape from itself. Loose objects were starting to drift.

“Puck, I’m so stupid!” Weather lamented aloud as a flash of lightning brightened the dusk for a second. He should have protected his research, patented it in his own name. Stupidly, he had thought he would be with GWI for the rest of his life. He had given his life over to GWI and they had thrown it away for an office in disarray. It might have looked like an unnatural disaster, but they could have at least let him evaluate their equipment to check for systems failure. Why he hadn’t opened his mouth and flung accusations back at them? Probably because they had looked angrier than he could possibly have gotten faced with a memory of shimmering blankness.

The weather was surreal, he casually noted it as something GWI would have to correct, something existing outside his present unemployed reality, their problem. His cellphone’s classic “Thunderstuck” ringtone charged the air.

“What’s happening with the weather, dude? I thought I read in the paper that it was supposed to be sunny skies and calm seas. I wanted to go for an evening dive at Devil’s.”

“I’ve no idea, I’ve been fired,” he managed to say calmly before he hung up.

“It’s not my responsibility,” he thought to himself and promptly switched his phone off. He had given his private cellphone number to a few select acquaintances he had tried to impress when he had just got his ‘prestigious’ job. He thought he might finally be able to get his social life out of his house by sharing information with people he had met in supermarkets, recognizing their faces from university. They were jocks obsessed about the weather for their hedonistic lifestyles and they had never invited him out, only phoning to find out about the weather.

He jumped off at his usual stop and leaned into the wind watching his feet moving past one another, his mind seething at the injustice of not having a fair trial where they showed him evidence of him been directly involved in the trashing of his office. He could only remember standing in the middle of it and his office revolving around him, but that was only a flash, there is nothing before that except the facts. Him working on algorithms of weather activation, them tinkering with the clouds. They were practically at the end of their testing, their final live weather event before taking on the whole world’s weather, he knows that, but everyday was still just the same as every other day, him at the computer, them throwing lightning bolts. “Puck! I should’ve challenged them,” he shouted into the howling wind at GSI with all the frustration of his past mistakes. But his voice was lost into the atmosphere.

\ Heute, am 9. Mai 2025 – genau 80 Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, der 60 Millionen Menschen das Leben kostete, darunter 27 Millionen Sowjetbürgern, erheben wir, die Bürgerinnen und Bürger Europas, unsere Stimmen! Wir schämen uns für unsere Regierungen und die EU, die die Lehren des 20. Jahrhunderts nicht gelernt haben. Die EU, einst als Friedensprojekt gedacht, wurde pervertiert und hat damit den Wesenskern Europas verraten! Wir, die Bürger Europas, nehmen darum heute, am 9. Mai, unsere Geschicke und unsere Geschichte selbst in die Hand. Wir erklären die EU für gescheitert. Wir beginnen mit Bürger-Diplomatie und verweigern uns dem geplanten Krieg gegen Russland! Wir erkennen die Mitverantwortung des „Westens“, der europäischen Regierungen und der EU an diesem Konflikt an.

Wir, die Bürger Europas, treten mit dem European Peace Project der schamlosen Heuchlerei und den Lügen entgegen, die heute – am Europatag – auf offiziellen Festakten und in öffentlichen Sendern verbreitet werden.

Wir strecken den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern der Ukraine und Russlands die Hand aus. Ihr gehört zur europäischen Familie, und wir sind überzeugt, dass wir gemeinsam ein friedliches Zusammenleben auf unserem Kontinent organisieren können.

Wir haben die Bilder der Soldatenfriedhöfe vor Augen – von Wolgograd über Riga bis Lothringen. Wir sehen die frischen Gräber, die dieser sinnlose Krieg in der Ukraine und in Russland hinterlassen hat. Während die meisten EU-Regierungen und Verantwortlichen für den Krieg hetzen und verdrängen, was Krieg für die Bevölkerung bedeutet, haben wir die Lektion des letzten Jahrhunderts gelernt: Europa heißt „Nie wieder Krieg!“

Wir erinnern uns an die europäischen Aufbauleistungen des letzten Jahrhunderts und an die Versprechen von 1989 nach der friedlichen Revolution. Wir fordern ein europäisch-russisches Jugendwerk nach dem Vorbild des deutsch-französischen Jugendwerks von 1963, das die „Erbfeindschaft“ zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich beendet hat. Wir fordern ein Ende der Sanktionen und den Wiederaufbau der Nord Stream II-Pipeline. Wir weigern uns, unsere Steuergelder für Rüstung und Militarisierung zu verschwenden, auf Kosten von Sozialstandards und Infrastruktur. Im Rahmen einer OSZE-Friedenskonferenz fordern wir die Schaffung einer europäischen Sicherheitsarchitektur mit und nicht gegen Russland, wie in der Charta von Paris von 1990 festgelegt. Wir fordern ein neutrales, von den USA emanzipiertes Europa, das eine vermittelnde Rolle in einer multipolaren Welt einnimmt. Unser Europa ist post-kolonial und post-imperial.

Wir, die Bürger Europas, erklären diesen Krieg hiermit für beendet! Wir machen bei den Kriegsspielen nicht mit. Wir machen aus unseren Männern und Söhnen keine Soldaten, aus unseren Töchtern keine Schwestern im Lazarett und aus unseren Ländern keine Schlachtfelder.

Wir bieten an, sofort eine Abordnung europäischer Bürgerinnen und Bürger nach Kiew und Moskau zu entsenden, um den Dialog zu beginnen. Wir werden nicht länger zusehen, wie unsere Zukunft und die unserer Kinder auf dem Altar der Machtpolitik geopfert wird.

Es lebe Europa, es lebe der Friede, es lebe die Freiheit!

Auf der Webseite der Initiative oder in einem Gespräch mit Ulrike Guérot können Sie, liebe Leser, weitere Möglichkeiten erfahren, diese Friedensinitiative zu stärken!

My last article, I wrote about DePIN, a passive income that is easily accessible and something to consider as supplemental income. This week I want to discuss another form of finance. Let’s face it: when most of us hear the word “finance”, our eyes glaze over faster than a donut in a Krispy Kreme factory.

It conjures images of Wall Street suits, casino type crypto scams, and incomprehensible jargon. What if I told you that finance could be regenerative? Could your money heal the world?

Regenerative Finance is what I’m discussing; ReFi if you want to sound cool. Regenerative finance is a movement that’s quietly transforming how we think about money, investment and our collective future. Let’s dive down the rabbit hole and take a journey into a world where your money can make things better.

You’re at a party and someone asks what you do for a living. You say, “I work in sustainable finance.” Boring to most, they politely nod. But what if you said, “I work in regenerative finance. We invest in projects that restore rainforests, rebuild communities and make money while healing the planet.” How interesting, right?

What is sustainable? It is about not making things worse, just sustaining them. On the other hand, regenerative finance restores, renews and improves systems, making sure things are better when you leave than when you arrived.

Regeneration systems imagine every dollar invested helps a forest grow, a community thrive or a river run clear again. Remember sustainability is about keeping things as they are. Regeneration is about making things better.

Here’s a real-world example: The Savory Institute works with ranchers to restore grasslands using holistic grazing. Investors in their projects don’t just avoid harm, they rebuild the soil, increase biodiversity, and capture carbon. That’s money making a difference.

Regenerative finance asks, “How will the investment affect people, planet and profit, not just today, but decades from now?” Another real-world example, Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, invests profits into reforestation projects worldwide. Their financial model considers long term ecological health, not just quarterly returns.

ReFi isn’t about faceless corporations. It’s about empowering local communities and restoring ecosystems. Think of it as crowdfunding Mother Earth.

How does all this magic happen? Here are a few ways to invest.

IMPACT INVESTING As examples from above, this is where you put your money into projects that actively restore ecosystems, empower communities or fight climate change. FUNDING BONDS These are bonds issued on blockchain platforms to fund sustainable projects. They are managed by smart contracts and investors get digital tokens representing their share. Think about this as an early adopter.

TOKENIZATION This is taking real-world assets and turning them into digital tokens. Think carbon credits. There’s no Wall Street middleman which makes it easier to track, invest and trade in regenerative projects. You can have fractional ownership with tokenization which means easier access to more assets.

Real estate has moved into fractional ownership using tokenization. The threshold to invest has lowered immensely with this practice.

The world is facing some big problems with climate change, inequality, biodiversity loss and I could go on. Traditional finance hasn’t exactly been successful. Regenerative finance offers a new way forward.

By focusing on restoring rather than just sustaining, we create resilient, equitable and thriving systems for future generations. As someone who is 64 years old, I was taught to leave the world better than you found it.

There has been much speculation over the years about the next evolution of the internet and business. How will we adapt? What will financial systems look like?

Let’s look at some projects that are already making a difference: Eden Reforestation Project Employs local communities to plant millions of trees, restoring ecosystems and creating jobs.

Kiva Community lending to entrepreneurs in developing countries, empowering them out of poverty.

Mosaic Solar projects, investing, earning returns while helping the planet.

KlimaDAO This DAO uses blockchain to buy and retire carbon credits, driving up the price of pollution and funding climate action.

Look for reputable ReFi projects or platforms that align with your values. Many platforms have low minimum investment thresholds making it easier for anyone to participate.

You don’t need to be a billionaire or a blockchain wizard to get involved in the regenerative finance revolution. Individuals can invest in ReFi initiatives through several accessible pathways, any of which leverage new technologies and community-driven models to make participation easier and more transparent.

Regenerative finance changes the way you think about money, value and your place in the world. Putting your dollars to work for people and planet, you can be a part of building a thriving future.

Regenerative finance addresses the shortcomings of traditional finance which often prioritizes short term profit over long term environmental and social costs. The core idea behind ReFi is that financial systems should restore, and grow society’s economic, social and environmental systems.

Regenerative finance represents a transformative shift in how capital is allocated and managed. By integrating advanced technology, community participation, and a focus on ecological and social renewal, ReFi seeks to build a financial system that not only generates returns but also restores and strengthens the foundations of a sustainable and healthy future.

As the world moves forward in different ways of finance and business, I hope this information was useful for you. The different monetary systems and financial markets are growing. ReFi is an alternative finance system becoming a movement. If you are interested in other financial systems or know of any, please let me know. Thank you for reading. Be fabulous, Sandra Abrams Onboard60 Founder

In the rapidly evolving world of technology, edge computing has emerged as a game-changing innovation, reshaping how data is processed, analyzed, and delivered. Unlike traditional cloud computing, which relies on centralized data centers, edge computing processes data closer to the source—right where it's generated.

This shift is driven by the explosion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, autonomous systems, and real-time applications that demand low latency and fast decision-making. From smart factories and self-driving cars to remote healthcare and AR/VR experiences, the need for real-time processing is fueling the growth of edge solutions.

Why Edge Computing Matters

As more devices connect to the internet, the volume of data being generated is staggering. Transmitting all this data to the cloud for processing can introduce delays and raise bandwidth costs. Edge computing addresses these challenges by enabling devices and local servers to handle tasks immediately, without having to send data back and forth to the cloud.

Key benefits include:

Reduced latency: Ideal for time-sensitive applications like autonomous vehicles and industrial automation.

Improved security: Sensitive data can be processed locally, minimizing exposure.

Cost efficiency: Reduces bandwidth and storage demands on central data centers.

Real-World Applications

1. Healthcare: Wearables and remote monitoring devices use edge computing to detect anomalies and alert physicians in real time.

2. Retail: Smart shelves and AI-powered cameras analyze consumer behavior on the spot.

3. Manufacturing: Machines use edge-based analytics to predict maintenance needs and prevent downtime.

Challenges Ahead

Despite its promise, edge computing is not without hurdles. Managing a distributed network of devices, ensuring consistent software updates, and maintaining security at the edge require robust frameworks and standards. Scalability and interoperability remain ongoing concerns for developers and organizations.

The Road Ahead

With the rollout of 5G and advancements in AI, edge computing is poised for massive growth. According to industry forecasts, the global edge computing market is expected to exceed $100 billion by 2030. As businesses continue to demand faster, smarter, and more secure tech infrastructure, edge computing will be at the heart of the next digital transformation.

Den für mich derzeit wichtigsten Impuls über KI nachzudenken lieferte vor einigen Wochen Yuval Noah Harari an der University of Cambridge am Ende eines Podiumsgesprächs hier ab 1:15 h auf youtube:

Ich denke, wir müssen die Frage des Bewusstseins in den Mittelpunkt der Diskussion stellen. Es gibt eine riesige, riesige Verwirrung in der Terminologie, auch in der Welt der KI, zwischen Bewusstsein und Intelligenz. Aber es sind zwei verschiedene Dinge. Intelligenz ist die Fähigkeit, Probleme zu lösen und Ziele zu erreichen. Bewusstsein ist die Fähigkeit, Dinge zu fühlen, wie Schmerz oder Freude oder Liebe oder Hass. Wir neigen dazu, die beiden zu verwechseln, weil bei Menschen und auch bei anderen Säugetieren, Vögeln und anderen Tieren Bewusstsein und Intelligenz zusammengehören. Wir lösen Probleme durch unsere Gefühle. Computer waren bisher sehr anders. Sie sind in einigen Bereichen bereits intelligenter als wir, haben aber, soweit wir wissen, kein Bewusstsein. Soweit wir wissen, können sie überhaupt keinen Schmerz, keine Freude, keine Liebe oder keinen Hass empfinden. Niemand weiß, was in Zukunft passieren wird. Es gibt Modelle und Theorien, die argumentieren, dass KIs irgendwann auch bewusst oder empfindsam werden. Sie werden anfangen, Dinge zu fühlen. Sie werden anfangen, Schmerz oder Liebe oder Hass zu empfinden. Es gibt andere Modelle und Theorien, die sagen, nein. Sie könnten weit intelligenter werden als wir und immer noch null Bewusstsein haben. Das kann in der Evolution des Lebens sein. Wenn man darüber nachdenkt, die lange Entwicklung von Milliarden von Jahren der Evolution. Die Entwicklung der Intelligenz ist im Falle von Tieren wie uns und Schimpansen und Hunden und Schweinen und so weiter durch die Entwicklung des Bewusstseins verlaufen. Aber das ist kein universelles Gesetz der Evolution der Intelligenz. Vielleicht gibt es alternative Wege, die zu Superintelligenz ohne jegliches Bewusstsein führen. Einfach einen anderen, einen fremden Weg gehen. Und wir könnten an einen Punkt gelangen, an dem sie superintelligent sind und trotzdem null Bewusstsein haben. Und die Gefahr besteht dann darin, dass sie nicht nur die menschliche Zivilisation zerstören könnten, sondern das ganze Licht des Bewusstseins, um das gesamte ökologische System nach ihren Bedürfnissen umzugestalten, wofür sie kein Bewusstsein brauchen. Sie funktionieren auf eine völlig andere Weise. Sie könnten sich sogar von der Erde auf andere Planeten, auf andere Galaxien ausbreiten. Sie werden das Universum mit Intelligenz füllen, aber es wird ein völlig dunkles Universum ohne Bewusstsein sein. Wieder hohe Intelligenz, fähig, Raumschiffe zu bauen, die mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit fliegen und was auch immer, aber es gibt null Gefühl. Niemand, keine Entität fühlt Schmerz oder Freude, Liebe oder Hass. Für mich ist das ein schreckliches Szenario. Das schlimmste Szenario von allen ist dies. Dass wir ein Universum voller Intelligenz und völlig ohne Bewusstsein haben werden, denn ich denke, dass von den beiden das Bewusstsein weitaus wichtiger, weitaus wertvoller ist. Und es ist eine gute Erinnerung daran, dass wir das zumindest heute mit vielen anderen Tieren teilen, aber nicht mit den Computern, nicht mit den KIs. Wir sind also immer noch im selben Team wie die Würmer und die Affen, nicht im selben Team wie die Computer.

Ich denke, hier wird eine Spur gelegt, die sich unterscheidet von der reinen Funktion von KI zur intelligenten Verbesserung und Unterstützung von Lernprozessen oder vielfältigem Kompetenzerwerb hin zur Selbstreflexion der Lernenden. Auch im Blick auf (religionsbezogene) Bildung kennen wir den Mensch nicht nur biologisch, wie die Würmer und Affen sondern auch ausgestattet mit Würde, Entscheidungsfreiheit und als Beziehungswesen, das auf ein Gegenüber ausgerichtet sein kann und, wie Harari sagt, nicht im selben Team wie die Computer spielt. Sinn, Seele und Verstand erhalten wir weder aus uns selbst heraus noch von einer wie auch immer gearteten Intelligenz. Liebe, Gnade, Hoffnung, Frieden, Gemeinschaft, Trost, Zuversicht und viele weiteren lebensbedeutsame Erfahrungen gewinnen im Angesicht von Maschinen aus meiner Sicht an elementarer Bedeutung.

Dear reader,

HODLing was never the end goal.

HODLing Bitcoin is smart. It always has been. If you held through the Mt. Gox hacks, China bans, the 2017 Blocksize wars, the 2018 bloodbath, and the FTX clownery of 2022, then you already know. Bitcoin rewards conviction.

But let’s not forget why you got in.

It was never just about watching numbers go up. You felt something. Something deep. A quiet voice inside said, “This system is broken. I’m done playing by its rules.” - That is where it all began.

Back in 2008, while the banks were crashing the economy and handing you the bill, Bitcoin showed up as a silent answer. A lifeboat. A revolution wrapped in code.

The whitepaper starts with a simple, powerful idea: "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution."

https://plebsite.net/cdn/shop/files/Bitcoin_Whitepaper-Poster-3.jpg

And Bitcoin has lived up to that vision.

You saw it in El Salvador when they made it legal tender — even if they later made it optional. You saw it when WikiLeaks used Bitcoin after getting cut off by banks. You saw the Silk Road prove what peer-to-peer money really means. No matter what you think of those examples, one thing is clear: It worked. It was used. It still works.

Today, Bitcoin powers circular economies across the world — in Costa Rica, South Africa, Brazil, and beyond. People are using it because their local money fails them. Bitcoin became more than a store of value. It became a tool for survival and sovereignty.

And now, look at you.

You believed early. You stacked. You held. And now, you have more Bitcoin than you ever imagined. Your needs are met. Your wants, too. You held through it all. And maybe now, you’ve found some stability, maybe even freedom. You stayed patient. You played the long game. You won.

So now the question is simple: What will your Bitcoin build?

Let me paint you a picture- Somewhere out there, there is a young soul maybe in Lagos, maybe in Buenos Aires, maybe right next door. This person might be working on a new privacy tool that protects free expression. Or developing a drone taxi system to change the way people move in growing cities. Or creating a decentralized alternative to platforms like Patreon, where no one is silenced for thinking differently.

They do not have powerful connections. They are not sitting in fancy offices or attending tech conferences. They are building quietly, with conviction and hope.

You can be the magical wand in their life. Your belief and support can turn someone's idea into something real. You can help create the next chapter of their story.

Angor allows you to do exactly that. It gives you a way to fund builders directly, using your Bitcoin. The process is safe and structured. You support projects in stages, and the funds only move forward when clear milestones are completed. Everything is on-chain, using Bitcoin scripts and time-locked contracts to ensure accountability.

This is how the ecosystem grows.

Where do you go now that HODLing was just the beginning?

Here’s what you do:

1. Check the Proposal

Go read the Angor docs. It’s not some bloated whitepaper. It’s clean, clear, and you’ll get it. Here’s the link - https://docs.angor.io/start/.

2. Join the Talk on Nostr

Nostr is where real, uncensored conversation is happening. It is decentralized and open by design. Use a client like Primal or Damus to dive in. Or check out nostr.band to explore what people are building and sharing across the network.

This is where ideas take shape. Builders post updates. Communities give feedback. The next wave of innovation is already in motion — and you can be part of it.

Follow Angor on Nostr: nostr:nprofile1qqs8p3ywfd92w7zvjgy7wrpylz8t30hy3z5dc5al4070l9y8qr8rejcksnh5c

3. Contribute

Whatever your skill is writing, design, coding, memes, Angor has room for you. Get on GitHub. Even if you just report a bug or suggest a feature, it helps. Or you could even fork the code and do as you wish.

4. Explore Angor Hub

This is the cockpit. It’s where you find new projects, track progress, talk to founders and make moves. Dive in. It’s live.

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin gave us the base layer. It proved that peer-to-peer money works. But that was just the beginning. Now it’s time to build the next layer together.

And no, this is not about another meme coin or a monkey NFT. This is about real infrastructure. Real value. Real use cases.

Angor is for the misfits, the dreamers, the people who read the whitepaper and said, “Yeah, this is the way.”

So if you have Bitcoin, do not treat it like a relic from a past battle. Use it to empower the next builder. Fund a project. Spark a new idea. Help decentralize the next thing.

You got into Bitcoin to protect your future maybe even to get rich but also to bring some change to the world.

HODLing was the first act.

Building is the second.

Angor is where we build.

Let’s make sure the next wave of Bitcoiners do not just see price charts. Let them see tools, apps, ideas, and communities that actually do something. Real things. Useful things. Built on the hardest money the world has ever known.

You in?

Thanks for reading, See y’all soon for another blog post. Ciao

由nip96模式改成了blossom

blossom的网址 变成了sha256 的id值，理论上 更换服务器或者重传以后 替换图片地址方便。

不过这部分我并没有做兼容接口。如果做成兼容的，应该用 相对地址，然后 后台用proxyimg.xxx.com去做选择。

访问方便些

新的服务器是：https://nosto.re/ 希望他能稳定的被访问不会嘎。

代码其实更简单了，https://github.com/nostrbook/nostrbook/blob/main/src/lib/blossomUpload.ts nosto.re 没有checkupload功能。所以我这里代码也没有加这部分，如果换别的服务器可能需要加检查功能。是不是为了防止图片重复上传？

最后 加一张好看的图片吧。证明此功能好用： {.user-img}
