We created a new type of #nostr message, called 2999. It allows for private encrypted nostr chat rooms (i.e. group chat), which can only be decrypted by those invited to join the room and the identity of the parties participating are unknown to those outside the secure group chats. Each chat thread is fully decoupled from your npub and public identity, as each new chat thread creates a new nostr pubkey pair and does not broadcast a “to” or “from” like current nostr dm’s, when sending or receiving messages. It provides a secure, encrypted, invite only, private group workspace. There’s no network monitoring purview or insight for anyone watching your npub and it’s an entirely new way of using the #nostr protocol. Each message and chat thread is a dead drop within a dead drop. 😈

If you liked Bitcoin at $100k, you’re going to black out at $1M...

Grandson: Do you remember when Bitcoin was under $1M? Grandfather: We don’t speak of the First Age of Men, for it was a cursed and depraved time.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. @PerianneDC and the @DigitalChamber have done the seemingly impossible, helping to unite and elect over 250 pro-Bitcoin members of Congress galvanized around a mandate to save America and accelerate our future. video.foxbusiness.com/v/6364…

.#Bitcoin—not politicians—offers our best hope for safeguarding the First Amendment, protecting property rights, and preserving the freedom to assemble.

The Constitution provides a clear remedy for this type of scenario. It’s time to reissue Letters of Marque and Reprisal. 🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ @elonmusk @JoshuaSteinman

This is a famous photo of Telegram founder Pavel Durov giving Putin his middle finger. In 2011, Durov said that the Russian government had requested him to cancel the accounts of anti-government figures on his social media platform. Durov not only did not follow, but also publicly released this photo of "raising the middle finger to Putin" in the media, which received cheers from the West. After the 2014 Ukrainian coup, Durov refused to provide the Russian government with information on users involved in the Ukrainian colorful revolution. In the same year, he left Russia, claiming that Russia was "unable to keep up with the information age". Shortly after, he acquired French and UAE citizenship and stated that he had no plans to return to Russia. Today, Durov was arrested by France on charges of using the platform to "support terrorist activities" and "pedophilia" after refusing to provide user information to the United States and Israel, facing 20 years of imprisonment.

France just arrested the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, for enabling encrypted group chat. The need for decentralized group chat is no longer an abstraction, even Europe will disappear you for participating in freedom.

Code is speech. Arms are the material application of code. Tyranny can attempt to suppress speech, but will always lose against distributed technology.

Freedom tech has never been more important to the future.

The cognitive dissonance necessary to get excited about communism is truly extraordinary. Friends, you don’t need to beg to lose individual rights, you have to fight to preserve them…
