098 - Selfbankt: Decentralised Networks, Filter Events & Confronting Orthodoxy

Nostr, Surveillance State, Religion, Bitcoin, Great Filters, Acceleration Theory, Family, Decentralised Networks, Defiance. Timothy Allen talks with Selfbankt. I've got another pseudonymous guest for you again this week. He's somebody I originally met through Twitter some years ago, subsequently forging a good friendship in real life, you may know him from Twitter yourself, in fact. He was a well-known character to Bitcoiners: SelfBankt, that was until he was banned from Twitter during the pandemic for 'wrongthink'... that was pre-Elon, obviously. Anyway, rather than reappearing on the bird app under a new guise, he made a home on the decentralized messaging network known as Nostr, something that many other people appear to be doing of late, myself included... and that is something that we speak about a fair bit in this episode, along with his experience of nearly losing his job as an anesthetist over the COVID jab, the importance of what he calls 'filter' events in life, and his discovery of religion and how that fits in with all the Orwellian events he's witnessed over the last few years. Enjoy the conversation.
