What's trending on Nostr over the last 24 hours?

quoting note1v93…6dwuMy husband and I flew back from Dubai to Cairo today, on Christmas.
When we got home, my mother in law and father in law (who are Muslim) had a surprise waiting for us: a Christmas tree set up in our wing of the home.
They took the time to decorate it themselves, too. The whole place feels so festive now. People can be so cool and thoughtful.
Anyway, GM and Merry Christmas.
quoting note19mv…6ankMy Nostr predictions for 2025
Exactly one year ago I published my Nostr predictions for 2024. Some came true, but most were, shall we say, aspirational, and, if we want to be generous, directionally correct. Happy to continue in the same vein and go out on a limb for 2025. Here we go, ordered by likelihood of coming true:
1. Primal will become much, MUCH better. Primal 3.0 will be a bigger leap forward than Primal 2.0 was. We will surprise everyone by the features, speed, level of polish, and ease of use.
2. Many other Nostr clients will impress by their progress in a relatively short time frame. If I had to pick one, I have a really good feeling about Highlighter.
3. Way more bitcoiners will join Nostr. While we currently only have a small subset of bitcoin enjoyers on Nostr, the new features and unique content will make Nostr irresistible to anyone interested in bitcoin.
4. Bitcoin-adjacent communities will start to discover and join Nostr. This will include health & wellness, financial twitter, human rights, libertarians, and other communities. As a result, the network will grow and become more formidable.
5. Spammers gonna spam. With the growth of the network, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.
6. The Blossom protocol will make media hosting on Nostr much more robust and resistant to censorship.
7. Long form content will start to hit its stride on Nostr. This includes textual long form content (blogs, essays, articles, etc.) as well as long form video content.
8. Multiple Nostr projects will find effective and ethical ways to monetize, marking a watershed moment for the protocol. We will witness the formation of the first cohort of real businesses on Nostr, signaling the inevitable changing of the guard and the eventual extinction of the Legacy Web.
9. Nostr will experience a glimpse of what a ‘suddenly’ mainstream adoption moment looks like.
10. By the end of the year, everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.
11. ODELL (npub1qny…95gx) will accuse me of not being bullish enough.
One thing is certain: we will keep pushing until we will this thing into existence. 🤝
Anyhow, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Pura Vida, and Peace and Love to you all! ♥️☀️
quoting note1my4…cx56Merry Christmas to everyone from Julian, Stella, and our kids, Gabriel and Max. May the new year bring a steadfast push for peace and dignity for all!

quoting note1e9y…sh53Merry Christmas from Dollar Bill and I 🎄🫂
quoting note1tkn…kvlsPeople on X want to know what Dr. Jeff (npub1k7v…c04l) is up to, but you can only find out if you’re on NOSTR.
quoting note1s68…x2nfGM AND MERRY CHRISTMAS #NOSTR FAMILY! ☕️
I’M THANKFUL FOR EACH OF YOU WHO IS READING THIS.
quoting note1mhh…zhkxPeople will say they hate us (maxis) because we got rich without helping the world in anyway.
This is of course stupid and wrong, but it’s not the actual reason they will hate us.
They will hate us because we stood up and declared in a single unified voice “we will not be slaves ever again”.
This makes everyone mad.
The other slaves are mad.
The masters are mad.
But we have drawn our line in the sand.
There’s no going back now.
Bitcoin changed things.
Forever.
quoting note1gxx…rfnyCashu is not an alternative to non-custodial Bitcoin. Nothing beats holding your own keys.
Cashu Ecash is for custodial systems that respect user privacy, have better censorship resistance, and allow half-offline peer-to-peer payments that are instant.
The days of corporate blockchains are over. They make no sense at all, they're centralized, and they are peak inefficient. Ecash beats all of that. It's fast, lightweight, and cheap. If you're running a service, you should consider integrating Ecash for your users.
There are already dozens (!!!) of mints out there, run by organizations, companies, or communities. Among these companies are custodians, wallet providers, LSPs, and online shops.
When will we see the first ecash in-game currency?
Cashu now has native mobile wallet apps, headless server wallets, web wallets that work in the browser, and wallets for social media clients. We have mint implementations in Rust, Python, Golang, and like 5 other languages.
We have tiny invisible wallets that live in web pages.
We're working on an authentication scheme that balances operator control and user privacy as best as possible. You can decide who can use your mint.
We have a dozen different open-source libraries and wallets that are improving every day.
It's all yours.
We're just getting started and the new year is going to be massive. After two years of crazy work on an entirely new protocol, things are starting to take shape.
We have a vision which is to bring Bitcoin to every corner of the internet. Ecash will bring us there.
Thank you everyone who believed in us, especially those who contribute to this project. Cashu has become a place where you can improve your coding skills, learn to collaborate, work on open-source, and do literal magic ✨ (cryptography).
Next year is going to be massive 🫡🥜
