Would have been better if this chart went to $100M 😁

"EXPLAIN SAIF TO ME OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! DON'T DUMB IT DOWN INTO SOME VAGUE SHIT! EXPLAIN ISLAMIC CYBERNETICS TO ME RIGHT NOW OR I'LL LITERALLY FUCKING KILL YOu! WHAT THE FUCK IS A CYBER CULT? WHAT THE FUCK IS RETERRITORIALIZATION? DON'T DUMB IT DOWN OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU"

This is the line of attack that I use to orange pill some Muslims, especially the ones that are all in on the boycott. It's obvious to boycott these products, but we take it one step further and boycott the fiat money system itself, and I'll show the federal reserve logo that's conspicuously missing from those boycott posters. Have had a lot of "ah-ha!" Moments when I mention this aspect.

Really? Its been mostly pretty smooth for me. With AI, even just using duckduckgo's free one, it's very easy to find solutions to my dumb problems. Most of the time it gives me the command I need to paste in the terminal and my problem is usually fixed. It's actually been fun!

Will check this out. Thank you guys so much for taking the time to build this

Bitcoiners must double down on building and using privacy preserving tools like coinjoins, lightning, ecash, PayNyms, etc Normalize privacy as a moral right by using it openly and unapologetically! Make surveillance impractical. Run your own node. Be ungovernable by default!

So yeah... This was a bust... Only 2 people showed up in meat space and only 4 or 5 people tuned in. The cool thing was showing how fast it is to install Linux mint. Took us like 15 minutes. Super easy. Oh well. I did what I said I was gonna do. Bright side is that I'm getting the Bosnian brother to join us on nostr inshaAllah. He seems very interested.

I agree with a lot of what you wrote but I still support them. I see SAIF as laying the ground work for theory + praxis that can inspire future endeavors inshaAllah. It's inspired me for sure. I do wish SAIF was more cypherpunk. Neglecting that ethos will hurt SAIF in the long run (though I'm unable to explain how)

The cypherpunks shall rise again

Joycats have taken over unfortunately

Finally! Looks like I'll be making this presentation tomorrow at one of the local masjids here. Hopefully it goes well! I won't mention the B word for this presentation though....

I think the biggest catalyst for people migrating to Nostr is going to be how bad traditional social media platforms are going to continue censoring stuff. It's gonna happen as social media platforms are just going to get worse

Please understand that no one is coming to save you Not your government. Not your central bank. Not the US. Not China. Not the clowns with fiat credentials telling you “debt doesn’t matter” The system is set up such that every country is in a usurious debt spiral funded by fiat printing and theft via inflation. Every country is mortgaging your future to keep the ponzi going just a little bit longer. There is no plan or even intention to fix this. They're just trying to outlive the collapse and they'll happily do it at your expense! Buy Bitcoin and self custody. Run your own node. Exit the madness and reclaim your sovereignty.

BTW I can't seem to zap you. Tried with different wallets and clients

Oh wow! He's a big deal! Thanks for this

Someone sent me this video of this sheikh talking about bitcoin: https://youtu.be/pCxImJe3wV0?si=jdwCqJrS828s4bno it's in Arabic, but apparently, he says that Bitcoin is haram because it has no utility but altcoins like ethereum and solana are halal. it's amazing that even the most knowledgeable people on this planet cannot even consider the thought that digital, neutral, permissionless and censorship resistant money with a fixed supply is a use case.

This was actually the original meme that I was responding to on X. Someone made a flippant remark about computers solving the problem

If you think that computers can solve the economic calculation problem, you don't understand the problem. Socialism/communism fails not because planners lack information and data (which is true), but because socialism/communism destroys the very institution of private property that makes meaningful information and data, i.e. market prices, possible. It does not matter how much computing power you throw at this. You can’t meaningfully compute prices that do not exist.
