More and more, the vibe of my tribe, orangish.
The orange culture of bitcoiners includes an infinite amount of sub-cultures. Everyone is welcome here, that's why we love it.
If you mean that orange culture means nothing because it actually contains everything, then I agree :)

God yes! Blue, red, orange, green, black, white all of them. Nostr: A safe haven for people who've been beat up and bruised on the Big Tech platforms. A place where people aren't afraid to speak from the heart.

the same with Bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't care who is using it.
Yes, I like how nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqaktkhj describes it. From Perplexity:
"Booth argues that Bitcoin should be understood as a base protocol (like TCP/IP for the internet), and he says that such protocols tend to be βwinner take all.β He contrasts this with companies like Amazon or Google, which he describes as 'winner take most,' because a new technology can eventually disrupt them."
It seems like "winner take most technologies" deepen division, strife, and scarcity.
"Winner take most" creates artificial scarcity and tribal warfare. Real base protocols - like TCP/IP - don't need to win because they enable diversity rather than demand conformity.
That makes sense to me. I know next to nothing about computers and code. I do know that I want my children to grow up in a world with less division. I am going out on a limb to say the United States has to lead the way.
You'd like Ivan Illich - try "Deschooling Society." He explains how liberating tools become institutions that create dependency.
The US is leading, just in the wrong direction. Exporting surveillance, weaponized identity politics, institutional capture. Maybe we need less leading, more building tools that work without anyone in charge..
I agree. We have a war economy. It needs to stop. I like Illich. His writing on conviviality struck a chord with me. My two youngest children have never set foot in our compulsory schooling system.
