one of the most important weapons of war is ways to confuse and damage the morale of an enemy.

most of the techniques resemble gaslighting and staging plausible but false events.

as bitcoiners, we have big enemies. we gleefully declare how we are taking money back from the bankster cartels, but people sorta forget what a vicious bunch they are, i mean, beyond ordinary every day evil, they design devices to mince people up on a regular basis, and then even gloat about it almost openly.

rewriting our history and spreading delusional ideas that promote the idea of banksters impervious defenses and beyond physically possible powers are the ways they do this, and they are cheap, far cheaper than any of the other attacks they perform on humanity.

i got into a bit of a heated debate about the meaning of the term "peer to peer" last night and realised that i had associated concurrency as an implicit feature of peer to peer systems, forgetting the whole thing about what systems are.

systems are a complex set of parts that operate as a unit.

peer to peer systems can be concurrent, because there is no gatekeeper in the information flow.

but there usually is some form of gatekeeper.

bitcoin's is the block schedule/difficulty adjustment and proof of work.

these effectively make the entire network a series of computations done by a single computer, one after another.

it's just a case of me forgetting that my ideas about concurrency as relates to peer to peer systems have got a bit muddled up since i got lightning-pilled.

anyhoo, this is my point:

keep your own copy of the records.

don't accept any stories that appear to amplify the power of the enemy at face value, they are almost certainly distortions, taking one grain of truth and then surrounding it with plausible delusions.
