The Nobodies Pick Up The Slack
At ARC 2025, Chris Lunsford, known as Oliver Anthony, gave a poignant speech on the sense of disenfranchisement in rural America that left the whole room deeply moved.
https://image.nostr.build/239da8a6d87b563e76083a62f78300f93f2fcbe23cb17af64423523df468a68e.jpg
The Rural Revival Project: Full Transcript
I appreciate the opportunity for your time. I've only got a few minutes here, so I've written some things down so you don't have to listen to me ramble.
But there is an evil I have seen under the sun—the sort of error that arises from a ruler: fools are put in many high positions while the rich occupy low ones. I have seen slaves on horseback while princes go on foot like slaves.
Since August of 2023, I have received a flood of messages: social media, email, handwritten letters. I've had—I don't know how many—conversations with people face-to-face, probably thousands at this point. And I realize now that we don't have any clue as to how many around us are really broken; how many are silently suffering and barely hanging on.
More often than not, they start the message with, "Hey, I’m a nobody," but followed by horrors of addiction, mental illness, financial and household struggles—oftentimes incredibly complicated stories that I suspect they may have never told anyone before. But they still have hopes of a hopeful future, and they don't want to give up no matter what.
And it kills me because these people—they aren't "nobodies" as they describe themselves. Our modern society's convenient, comfortable, fragile little existence is oftentimes carried on the backs of these self-declared nobodies. And forgive my generalization, but in the modern world, we are so busy idolizing the genuine nothings of society: the self-centered celebrities, spineless politicians, clickbait social media influencers. It seems, from my perspective, that oftentimes these people live comfortable little lives while many of our real heroes are dragged through the mud and never once given a genuine thank you for it.
But it's not just them that are hurting; we all are. I mean, that's why you're here at this conference, right? That's why people have traveled from all over the world to gather here. You all realize that it's time to do something.
So, to set the record straight, I'm not here as an intellectual, or a psychologist, or a politician, or even a respected member of society, all things considered. I'm a high school dropout who lives in a log cabin in the woods in Virginia. I myself am just a 32-year-old nobody, so I'm just here as the messenger.
I believe that many of the problems identified at this conference are quite possibly symptoms of a bigger problem. We currently exist in an age of rapid digital immersion. The current average American teenager will have spent something like 30,000 hours by the time they are 30 on social media. The average American spends six to nine hours a day staring at devices. And whether it's a city sidewalk, a family dinner table, the receptionist at an office, even people driving their damn cars down the roadway, I constantly see the struggle between maintaining conscious attention in the real world and the overwhelming pull we feel towards the digital one.
And in my unprofessional opinion, neuroplasticity has made us increasingly digitally proficient, but at a cost of being digitally dependent. If being hired on as a London cab driver can change your brain on an MRI scan, and if life experiences like PTSD can alter the DNA and sperm, what irreversible alterations will 30,000 hours of staring into algorithmically-fed states of hypnosis do to the human mind or to their offspring?
In this short breath of time, we live in a state of existence that quite possibly no one else in world history has. We have both access to instant global connectivity, infinite information, and consumer-level access to artificial intelligence—but we are the last few humans in world history who remember what life was like before it. We are the last living people in history to have experienced life before the digital age, and I fear that it may become nearly impossible for younger generations to even differentiate the digital world from the real one before the end of my lifetime.
There is nothing inherently wrong with technology. There is nothing wrong with instant connection, and there is nothing intrinsically bad about access to abundant information. But what is bad is the lack of control and agency we have over these systems. Without realizing it, we are being programmed and our culture is becoming commodified. Therefore, the more time we spend on these digital information systems, the more we revert to the mean of one of a fixed set of broad internet cohorts. In other words: the more time we spend online, the more commoditized our culture, the more tribal our psychology, and the more vulnerable we become.
When the floods first came to Western North Carolina last year where I used to live, there were tens of thousands of people who showed up to help from all over the country. No one asked them, no one paid them, and most of the world has no idea they were ever even there. I was there the same day that the Governor of North Carolina came for his little photo op. He made a public announcement that day with the current statewide death toll of the floods, but that same morning alone, volunteer veterans with cadaver dogs that I had met with had pulled 15 bodies out of a single pile of debris near the KOA campground in Swannanoa.
The statewide count at that point had to have been well into the hundreds; I believe the number the Governor used that day was 28. In fact, there was a reefer truck that sat for two days full of bodies because the morgues were overflowing. And while FEMA was hoarding donated generators and denying people on their applications, it was the "nobodies" of the world that were driving UTVs and Jeeps with chainsaws up mountain roads rescuing people.
There were two guys we met that hot-wired a bulldozer from a quarry to cut a navigable path through a washed-out road in two days—a road that the state said would take months—allowing supplies to people who hadn't had contact with anyone in over a week. Volunteers were working 16 hours a day taking supplies on everything from horses to helicopters. It was humanity there in front of my very eyes.
And it was in those seven days in North Carolina that changed everything for me. It was people saving people. Even with a lack of leadership, failed protocols, and overwhelming inefficiency from the state, the nobodies took up the slack.
And so, I'm just here to remind you that we don't need our false idols. We should no longer rely on politicians who bow down to money to manage our city or our states. We need to find the real leaders everywhere and empower them. Western North Carolina was proof to me that there is an army of good people left in this world who want to do good things; we just have to give them places to gather and give them the ability to act.
And so I close with this: Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
And so, I'll see you on April the 5th in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, for the first official gathering. It is now my life's mission to revive rural America one town at a time. It’s called the Rural Revival Project.
So, thank you for listening.

💥 NEW: Crowdhealth sees parabolic user growth in January 👀💥
BUT what's "CrOwDhEaLtH" ? 🤔
CrowdHealth is a simpler way to pay for health treatments.
Traditional h-insurance is expensive and bureaucratic.
And it can happen that your insurance provider refuses to cover your bills.
Unlike CrowdHealth.
Instead of an insurance company, you join a group of people who help each other out.
How it works:
You pay a small monthly fee to be a member.
If you have a big bill (over $500), the community chips in to pay it for you.
You can go to any doctor.
And vice versa.
Each month, you’ll be asked to help crowdfund another member’s medical bill.
Never more than your set monthly maximum.
CrowdHealth thoroughly reviews each bill to ensure it’s legitimate, fairly priced, and eligible.
Your contribution goes directly to the other member to help fund their medical expenses.
To date, 99.9% of the bills submitted to the community have been fully funded!!
The genius part?
You pay a set monthly amount.
The money pays for the bills. But there's usually left over money.
The "extra" money can be allocated to bitcoin via Fold.
Regulatory constraints ruled out pooled bitcoin funds, for now, but CrowdHealth found a clever workaround. Members make two separate payments each month:
$55 “Advocacy Fee”: Covers bill negotiation, access to the app, and a Personal Care Advocate.
A crowdfunding contribution: Sent directly to other members to pay medical bills. For non-Bitcoin members, this amount changes monthly based on need. For Bitcoin members, it’s fixed at $140.
In the Bitcoin plan, if the month’s actual need is less than $140, say $75, then the leftover $65 difference is automatically deposited into their Fold account.
It's basically a "help-each-other-out" club for people who want to save money on healthcare and believe bitcoin is perfect for long-term savings. 🤝

They don't like money?

2026-01-05 14:22:49 UTC

🇩🇪 NEW: Germany's largest government-backed TV station "ZDF" just released a 45-min long documentary about Bitcoin and it's the first of a series
Abstract:
In the pilot episode of "The World in Money," host Katjana Gerz asks: What is really behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the like? Who benefits, and who gets left behind? Do you have to get involved, or is this just a passing fad? Is crypto the future of money or merely digital gambling?
A Revolutionary Idea?
The advantages: Cryptocurrencies are independent of states or central banks. Demand determines their value. No authority watches over them—for many, this is seen as liberation from the traditional financial system. They offer the possibility of maintaining 100% self-custody of one’s own assets.
However, this also harbors disadvantages: No guarantees, no absolute security. Many fall victim to scams and the promise of quick money, while others lose the password to their wallet and, as a result, sometimes millions.
Digital Gold or Scam?
Anyone wanting to understand where our monetary system is heading cannot ignore cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, considered by many to be the only true cryptocurrency, surpasses companies like Amazon and Meta in value with a market capitalization of over one trillion euros, breaking all records. While some investors make enormous profits, others lose everything due to crashes, hacks, or simply false promises.
Crypto also feeds an ancient dream: that of quick riches. Social media is teeming with crypto gurus, trading tips, and success stories, often coupled with the message: Anyone can get rich; you just have to get in now. It is high time, therefore, to put cryptocurrencies to the test.
Between Hype and Reality
The episode "Cryptocurrencies" sheds light on a world full of promises and visions, but also losses. Katjana "loses" the password to her wallet and flies to the USA to visit one of the world's most famous hardware hackers. Can Joe Grand recover her crypto funds? Together with crypto critic Jürgen Geuter, Katjana heads to a casino to clarify whether crypto is often nothing more than digital gambling. Victims of a manipulative crypto scammer report losses of nearly 400,000 euros. Cyber prosecutor Jana Ringwald investigates illegal platforms yet speaks surprisingly positively about crypto. Together, they go "shopping" on the Darknet, where Katjana learns how to use cryptocurrencies as an anonymous means of payment.
The film by Benjamin Arcioli and Krissi Kowsky asks: Is crypto the currency of the future or an unregulated casino?

Officials in San Salvador have not yet named potential buyers, but the potential sale aligns with broader efforts to address fiscal risks tied to cryptocurrency holdings." Tico Times

3 Tricks to use Robosats effectively
1. Always back up your Robot
2. Use Telegram notifications to know if your order was accepted
3. Don't set orders for 24 hours. It maybe go off while you're asleep, you won't hear the Telegram notification and you'll lose your bond. If bedtime is 12 hours away, then set your order time to 10 hours. That'll give you two hours to complete any orders that get taken just before they expire. And you will sleep safe and sound 💤

Lolli Enables Lightning Network Withdrawals
https://image.nostr.build/639c2a09ff8605a45a8820f9ddfa2dba60f90b9b2dac7ab597f9b81efc0af107.jpg

Bitcoin rewards platform Lolli announced that Lightning Network withdrawals are now live for users. The update marks a milestone in the company’s restructuring following its acquisition by Thesis earlier in the year, aiming to address long-standing user demands for faster and cheaper access to earned rewards.
Who is Lolli?
Founded in 2018 by Alex Adelman and Matt Senter, Lolli is a rewards application that allows users to earn sats when shopping online at partner retailers. In July 2025, Lolli was acquired by Thesis, a venture studio that builds Bitcoin-native projects such as Mezo and Fold. Following the acquisition, Lolli focused on upgrading its infrastructure to support a “circular Bitcoin economy” and expanding its services globally.
Why Lightning Withdrawls
Prior to this update, Lolli users faced high withdrawal minimums (e.g., 30,000 sats) and slow processing times associated with on-chain transactions or with the recently integrated Mezo sidechain. To make the platform update, BTC withdrawals had additionally been suspended on the platform since July of 2025.
By implementing withdrawals on Lightning, Lolli can offer:
Lower costs: Fees are reduced, making it economically viable for users to withdraw smaller amounts of Bitcoin.
Speed: Settlement takes seconds rather than the minutes or days associated with traditional banking or on-chain transfers.
Control of earned rewards: This feature provides a simpler way for users to move their funds off the platform and into their own wallets, a capability users had requested for years.
How to Withdraw
The process requires a Lightning-compatible wallet (such as Wallet of Satoshi, Phoenix, Breez, or Alby). To withdraw funds, users must follow these steps:
Add a Lightning address (formatted like an email, e.g., [email protected]) to their Lolli account.
Select “Lightning” as the withdrawal method.
Specify the amount of sats to withdraw or select the “Max” button to withdraw the full balance.
Confirm the transaction to receive funds in seconds.

@nprofile…7akr shares why he's excited about #nostr in his interview on @nprofile…7j34
"The current state of social media and indeed the broader internet is woeful. Most users are trapped in an attention casino, with their data and eyeballs being harvested without their consent. In return, they are rewarded with ragebait, with the algorithms tracking their every scroll and click, reinforcing the toxic feedback loop of doom scrolling. Nostr is an opportunity to break out of the attention economy cycle, into one based on reputation, web-of-trust, and direct creator-consumer transactions."

Wave.Space: Rewiring the Financial DNA of Europe
"The whole idea for wave.space came from a mix of my own gripes and chats with other bitcoin builders. I was so tired of how clunky it felt to bounce between Euros and bitcoin. I mean, I wanted to live in this bitcoin world, but I still had to deal with Euros for everyday stuff—it was super frustrating!"

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have become essential tools for internet users seeking to secure their data and maintain anonymity. But what’s the point paying for these with KYC’d payment options like PayPal or CreditCard?
With the rise of Lightning payment adoption, many users are looking to purchase VPN services using alternative and private payment methods.
