1. Nostr "has no board, no company behind it, no funding," Dorsey said in an interview with the Silicon Valley outlet Pirate Wires last month. "It's a truly open protocol. The development environment is moving fast. And I gave a bunch of money to them." Nostr has a relatively small user base of cryptocurrency and privacy enthusiasts, including Edward Snowden. "We don't know who the leader is, it's like this anonymous Brazilian," Dorsey said. That anonymous Brazilian is Giovanni Torres Parra, a developer who has also built at least two webpages devoted to disseminating the work of the far-right conspiracy theorist Olavo de Carvalho. Before he died in 2022 after contracting COVID-19, de Carvalho — known as Olavo — praised Brazil's military dictatorship, claimed that Pepsi-Cola was flavored with stem cells of aborted fetuses, preached that tolerance for homosexuality was "incompatible" with democracy, and had an office in Virginia decorated with portraits of Confederate generals.

  1. Business Insider identified Parra by examining archived versions of a website for a software-development company created by Fiatjaf that revealed that the person behind the company was also the operator of a hostel in southeastern Brazil. The hostel's website indicates it is operated by Parra, and Fiatjaf's Google Maps reviews indicate he spends time in the neighborhood where the hostel is. On Fiatjaf's Github account, the license for some software written by Fiatjaf is assigned to Parra. BI also found a copy of Parra's university thesis, which matches details he provided to Forbes in a 2023 interview. The magazine agreed not to reveal his real name and referred to him only as Fiatjaf.

  @GGMcBG @kissane Evil. The word is evil, not "crazy" or "insane". Evil.

  @kissane
  Is it the money and power that makes every billionaire absolutely stupid-crazy? Or must you only be insane first in order to become a billionaire?
  Though that one dead idiot was right about one thing. Or else why would Pepsi have an e in it just like Stem Cells does?🤓
