Tonight, my wife nostr:npub17meshv2lg6rfyuwzgh349yslllq7aathd55xu0jgjns2ayz6rt2seplm8u said something profound that I had to share:

“For all the lack of trust you have in the government and corporations, you bitcoiners really have a lot of faith in each other.”

I AM MY BROTHER’S KEEPER

🫂🧡

Never been burnt working with a Bitcoiner.

Because I think it’s more one on one people are good. Its just the system that is bad. One by one I think a lot of good people work also at the government and cooperations 🙏

🫂

Yessss , lfg🔥🔥🔥

This is the way.

Trust …. bc we’ve done the same work to be #OrangePilled

#ProofOfWork

I wanna say yes, but the whole point is for a trustless money. We don't have to believe in each other because we understand the economics and it's in our best interest to participate and support the network. There are probably some bitcoiners I would hate in person, but I don't have to like them for Bitcoin to exist or work. #bitcoin #nostr

Well said.

Base ethos is key 🔑

Came here to say this. We don’t have faith in each other, we have a mutual understanding of a protocol that incentivizes cooperation.

I don't. Don't trust; verify.

Accurate. The Bitcoin and Nostrich bond is strong.

unfortunately this will change when more people use bitcoin and nostr 😞

Love this.

Sleep with one eye open

Yes and no.

"People are wonderful. I love individuals. I hate groups of people. I hate a group of people with a 'common purpose'. 'Cause pretty soon they have little hats. And armbands. And fight songs. And a list of people they're going to visit at 3am."

"Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name. If they say, 'We're the So-and-Sos,' take a walk. I don't like ass kissers, flag wavers or team players. I like people who buck the system. Individualists."

"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

-George Carlin

For context, this was about #V4V, not blind groupthink. We can have faith in each other as individuals and still not all agree on most other issues and still get along because we share a common bond.

We do believe in each other and it is amazing 🤩

Proof of work

You don't have to love your enemies, but Bitcoin lets you trade with them.

"Bitcoin: The currency of enemies"

I don't trust government or institutions because they've proven to not be trustworthy. A lot and severely.

I love that. 🫂

Most of us on Nostr are here because non of us trust or like the government at all. (A common denominator here).

💜

...except for the government spooks here posing as nostriches.

You mean the future fifth columnists?

I was just talking to a friend about how communitarian bitcoiners are and how zaps are mostly used for a gifting economy.

It’s almost like labels don’t work on us.

Beautiful. And true.

Awww, I love this 💜

🫂💜

How am I just following your wife today??? So excited now

She doesn’t post much. She’s just here to lurk and occasionally reply when people say scientifically inaccurate things about fungi. 🍄‍🟫😆

Well it’s nice to meet her regardless 💜

Had to follow her for that.

I followed because her name was Mishroom

Cool af name tbh

People that show their proof of work are easier to trust.
