NOSTR, CAPITALISM, & THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA with VITOR PAMPLONA (Nostr Talk on THE Bitcoin Podcast)

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

2026 prediction: in 2025 Mike Brock was only teetering. 2026 will bring his real crash out.

Quantum is a fake and gay VC scam until it can factor a random three digit integer. Until then my young kids are smarter.

Good episode and interesting talk about those copyrights. You talked about how Bitcoin Standard has been sold as paperback without knowing it, because someone else published those on Amazon. Would there be any difference if you would f.ex. publish Bitcoin Standard for free on a website where everyone who visit the site could read the book there. But someone else would then translate it to a different language, but host it on a different website? What if the author would also be mentioned and referred to the original website where the book is hosted at. Would that still count as a violation on copyrights?

Interesting discussion.

GM Great conversation on freedom tech while watching the sunset - thanks gents for continuing to push #bitcoin forward 🤙🏽⚡️💯 @npub1qny3tkh0a… I agree GMs are essential the the #nostr experience 😉

Ross is free! 🫡🫡

Awesome conversation with Calle. Ecash is very interesting concept. Agree also about there is not enough Bitcoin conversation on Nostr. Bitcoiners should use Nostr tech way more like Nostrnests and ZapStreams for Bitcoin conversations as it fulfill more the freedom ethology bitcoiners are trying to build here, and getting rid off those centralized control of the web and money. P.s. By who is that song in the end, and what is the name of it? Thanks 🙏

'Orange people' are about to become the new 'colored people'. This reminds me of something I heard Russell Means say some years back: "Welcome to the Reservation, we are all Indians now."

Regulation is designed to kill small businesses, protect large businesses, and destroy innovation. This is the direct goal of government bureaucrats.

Is this that Mandela effect? Seems like we all remember the Reagan assassination attempt as happening a couple years after he took office but Wikipedia says it happened 3/30/81 like two months into his presidency.

Zelensky sounds like Tattoo from Fantasy Island? I was thinking Froggy from Little Rascals.

Great rip!! 🫡👍🏻

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

Great vibes

KYRA'S MOM DIED IN 2003 AND HER DAD DIED IN 2018. KEVIN'S MOM DIED IN 1991 AND DAD DIED IN 2005. EXACTLY WHOSE PARENT'S SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS IS SHE WORRIED ABOUT TRUMP CUTTING?!
