"The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them." - Hal Finney

But the reason computers control people instead of free them, is corporate capture.

Windows has investors to answer to

But Linux offers freedom only

X, Facebook, Instagram etc etc all have ad space for sale and users to manipulate for profitability

But nostr just relays the note and signal or a similar messager just let's you message the person.

Money is already online. Visa and Mastercard drive up prices by squeezing merchants and often deny services to NSFW content creators just as an example.

But Bitcoin just does what the user says to do.

The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them. You just have to choose it.

Dude complaining about your life being too digital and then shilling bitcoin in the same presentation is retarded

It sounds like you misunderstood the message

Something about giving this dude money because it will make me free. American marketing 101: claim there is a problem and then promise that giving america your money is the solution. Russia and China use the same tactics routinely

Hah I like where your instincts are at. You definitely got the "corporate capture bad" bad part down.

GPLv3 licensed software has a long history though. It keeps vender lock in from being possible and has its roots in hobby developers who would call themselves hackers in their day. That's why in the video all they can talk about is software support.

You get all the freedom without paying any money in this case specifically.

I still think american salesmanship is the more accurate label
