I'm noticing Bitcoin being elevated to near religious status at this point.
"It fixes this and that. " Satoshi being the diety. People spreading the word and even congregate to talk about it and celebrate it often.
It isn't new for humans to behave this way. Just seeing the comparison.
I realized today I may be consuming too much bitcoin content...
YouTube suggestions are nothing but btc. I'm only on nostr and there's so much btc.
A thought crept into my head. "What if the banks are investing because they know there is this crazy religion wjere people worship this thing and will never let its value drop..."
Eh, just a weird thought... 😕
Diversify! But it seems in the religion of bitcoin, you'll be stoned to death if you do that.
Don't tell no one. Our secret.
I won't. I promise. 😄
Diversify into what? Moneywise I mean.
Skills? Yes.
Tools? Yes.
Else?
We were born into this all fiat world where institutions allover and always again lie, cheat and steal.
But yeah. One just needs to outsmart "the system"
Just be faster and better at stealing than the others.
Maybe that's why people call bitcoin religion. The values bond together. Same with statist religion. Just a different value base.
Or would you call "the actual democracy" religion too?
And stoning to death is just done by those who hold a grudge against property rights. IMHO.
Idk what you're on, but I was talking about diversifying so his youtube wont be all about bitcoin. And how often do you see so called maxis berate and preach to people who trade in others besides bitcoin be called dumb and degenerate.
In context of religion.
Religion, bitcoin, statism all have a common denominator. Values.
Trading shitcoin is retarded from the value base of bitcoin since they claim to be or become something.
Bitcoin is just a stupid, slow ledger jugging along.
So I don't get in what one wants to diversify moneywise.
And on what I'm on? Roz95 and synthetic 2stroke oil.
😂 That last bit made me laugh. Good one.
But i'm missing wheels. Only got a chain with teeth :dogedance_sm:
A new world order
Paired with freedom infringement
Makes people unite
#haiku
There is a better God than Satoshi or Saylor.
Oh this has been happening for YEARS 🤣
Go deeper and it’s a cult made by influencers for you to buy their overpriced HWWs, services, conferences, etc.
Ya. I mean I don't find it any different from Trump and the MAGA culture.
Buy the insecure HWWs.
Follow the influencers.
Listen to the nonstop bullshit.
Attend the conferences and consume the propaganda.
Attack anyone who doesn’t follow these.
Use the influencer controlled Primal nostr client.
They cannot exist without their followers so I don't blame them for doing what they do. They really believe in it or they believe in the money they get from it.
The latter.
Corporate capture of Bitcoin and Nostr is undergoing
So what are they doing it in the name of? It's always something vanilla and corpo like "growth" and "scaling"
Money.
A lot of dumb fools with money.
Shiiiit. Not even trying to hide it and call it "profits" 😄 You're a straight talker semisol. I like your style.
i think its always ongoing. everywhere freedom value emerges, there are always people who rush to it to try to gather as much of the value for themselves as they can.
because we are short sighted,
and mostly retarded.
nothing new. just disappointing.
it completely undermines the adversarial thinking that lead to the creation of Bitcoin in the first place.
a 15 year old phonomenon and something that is a net good for Bitcoin which is a net good for humanity
In however many years in the future, knowing human nature, do you see it becoming what it was trying to fight against?
Bitcoin is the death of inflation.
It would have to fundamentally change to become what it killed and I wouldn't call Bitcoin with inflation Bitcoin anymore.
so no
20-30 years
maxis hod so transactional use is discouraged
fiat institutions chip away at paper hands
regulatory environment and govt investment push sovereign use to a min
etc
so you end up with institutions owning most of the utxos
and they work out how to recreate the fiat system amongst themselves
old game plan
its just how regulatory capture works.
There is a lot of similarity. Sound weights and measures is prescribed in the Bible. Open to everyone, connects them, completely fair, leads to a better world... of course, you have to separate the message from the bearers.
I truly have nothing against it. I will probably not live long enough to see the kind of immense change it will bring to the world but I also see the darkest side of humanity and that we are just exchanging one thing for another but we never change.
Bitcoin is an amazing human thing but no God
Yea, everything becomes retarded when the normies get involved.
