More than one billion people in the world have no access to a bank account. Not because the technology doesn't exist. But because the traditional financial system decides who gets to participate and who doesn't. Bitcoin changes that logic. It's money that needs no intermediaries, that doesn't discriminate by country, document, or credit history. Mostro 🧌 brings that to P2P exchange. Anyone with a Lightning wallet can buy and sell bitcoin, with whoever they want, wherever they are ⚡ It's infrastructure for the people the system left out. mostro.network #Bitcoin #Freedom #Nostr #P2P #FinancialInclusion

MFTV #8: Bitcoin in the Language You Dream In | with @Dulce_xyz of @libdesatoshi 🔗 YouTube: youtu.be/vBhocJsm3vM After struggling to find Bitcoin educational materials in her native language, Mexican developer @dulce_xyz launched @libdesatoshi to make Bitcoin education accessible to Spanish-speaking students in the "language they dream in." This effort eventually expanded into B4OS—a program that's trained more than two dozen Spanish-speaking Bitcoin Core contributors to date. In this episode of MFTV, @Dulce_xyz sits with host @isabelfoxenduke to discuss: - Why access to Bitcoin education in non-English languages is essential to the long-term decentralization of the network - How language barriers can quietly concentrate influence among a small subset of developers and builders - Why Bitcoin's long-term success depends on arming builders and users everywhere—not just those who speak English — with effective user and technical education

Today, women in Afghanistan are being shot in the streets simply for anting an education, wanting a job. Wanting to work and wanting to walk outside without a man's permission. Taliban security forces killed one person and several wounded. Dozens arrested including women and girls. It started last Friday, when Taliban imams announced from mosque loudspeakers that women were forbidden from leaving their homes without full hijab, including face cover. Morality police flooded Herat's streets, markets, and shopping centers, batons in hand, arresting women for their clothing. Just one day after some men in the West rolled out the red carpet for the Taliban, normalizing them, legitimizing them, shaking their hands, you can see how savagely women being shot and beaten up in the streets.
This is a total betrayal…Do not even dare to speak on behalf of wounded women. An Afghan man, perfect English, telling you women in Afghanistan are fine. Just fine. Don't worry. This is not nuance. This is normalization. This is normalizing Taliban. Let’s women in Afghanistan talk. Women who have been flogged. Women who have been imprisoned. Women who have been denied an education. Women who have watched their lives disappear under gender apartheid. We the women of Iran have seen this movie before. Just watch the second video. An Iranian man, same perfect English, so relax, saying IRGC the terrorist organization that massacres protesters, and morality police are not that bad, they’re just fine and women if you don’t have fun with them! To every Afghan woman, every Iranian woman: Be louder than these men. Do not let anyone with microphones, normalize what is being done to your bodies, your lives, your freedom. @UAGApartheid

Sending money to your family in another country should be simple. In practice, the traditional system charges high fees, takes days, and on some corridors simply doesn't operate. With Mostro 🧌 and Lightning ⚡ sats arrive in seconds, to any wallet, in any country where there's an active node. The recipient converts to their local currency with whoever they choose, in their own community, without depending on any centralized service. Remittances shouldn't be a business for intermediaries. They should be a transfer between people. mostro.network #Bitcoin #Remittances #Lightning #P2P #Mostro

La jueza María Lourdes Afiuni lleva más de 16 años sin recuperar sus derechos tras ser detenida por cumplir con su deber. En 2009, Afiuni fue detenida, encarcelada, torturada física y mentalmente, y sometida a un proceso que hasta hoy sigue abierto luego de que otorgara medidas cautelares al ciudadano Eligio Cedeño. Por las medidas a Cedeño, cuya detención había sido catalogada como arbitraria según la ONU, Afiuni fue condenada por corrupción propia, pese a que la propia fiscal del caso dejó constancia en el expediente de que no existió contraprestación alguna, requisito indispensable para que ese delito se configure según la legislación venezolana. Su caso generó lo que se conoce como el “efecto Afiuni”, el miedo sistemático de jueces y funcionarios judiciales a actuar con independencia frente a asuntos con carga política. Es uno de los símbolos más documentados de la destrucción de la autonomía del Poder Judicial en Venezuela. La Ley de Amnistía aprobada meses atrás la excluyó. La consulta nacional sobre reforma de la justicia penal anunciada por Delcy Rodríguez no puede ser tomada en serio mientras víctimas como Afiuni permanezcan en un limbo jurídico sin resolución.

Luego de jornadas intensas en mi cuarto año en Oslo Freedom Forum, ya estoy en casa. Año tras año he escuchado relatos de activistas de todo el mundo. Relatos difíciles de escuchar, pero muchísimo más difíciles de recordar y contar por quienes realmente los han vivido. Y aun así, se paran frente a nosotros para contarnos la dura realidad que se vive en sus países. En estos cuatro años en #OsloFF, cada vez vuelvo más convencido de seguir construyendo herramientas abiertas y resistentes a la censura, herramientas que de una forma u otra puedan ser útiles para personas que viven bajo ataque permanente por parte de sus propios gobiernos. Conocer de primera mano a activistas que están en la primera línea, y compartir con ellos una comida, un café o incluso cinco minutos de conversación, es algo que para mí no tiene precio. Agradezco enormemente a @HRF por permitirme vivir esta experiencia, y felicitaciones porque cada año el foro logra reunir historias, personas y luchas que nos recuerdan por qué este trabajo importa. Más del 70% de la población mundial vive bajo autoritarismo. Probablemente tú que lees esto formes parte del 30% privilegiado. Si ese es tu caso, recuerda esto: La libertad y la democracia no son algo que podamos dar por sentado, sino algo que debemos defender cada día. El precio de perderlas es muy alto.

Mostro 🧌 is a green monster that lives on Nostr, settles trades on Lightning, and operates without asking permission from anyone. Born at the margins of the financial system, where banks don't reach and exchanges ask too much. That's where it found its place. It connects buyers and sellers. Holds sats for the minimum time necessary and releases them when both parties deliver. No bosses. No headquarters. No 40-page terms and conditions. Just the protocol. And the protocol doesn't lie ⚡ mostro.network #Bitcoin #Cypherpunk #Nostr #P2P #Mostro

Mostro 🧌 was built around a simple question. Why do you need to ask someone's permission to buy or sell bitcoin? There shouldn't be a company in the middle. No account to create, no document to submit, no approval to wait for. Bitcoin exists so anyone can participate in the financial system on their own terms. Mostro exists to make that possible in P2P exchange. An open protocol. Sovereign nodes. No custody. No KYC. No middlemen. That's the vision. And it's been the same since the first commit. mostro.network
