the world I am from no longer exists https://linksta.cc/@outlaw_crypto Xmr: 833YFwmVVX18RFaGqyGsm8Qs3M1HP3mZuJmsfij1yqqS1Hjmupow7XEKxFNizJbW1bia9wEH9mH7t9pobSF4q4M8NYPtWwT

In a world with a billion dollar bitcoin surveillance industry and authorities and financial institutions who will happily deplatform you financially for wrong think, how will Bitcoin, with its qualities which allow for total financial surveillance of every transaction ever made on its blockchain since the beginning , give you hope and freedom?

my nigga was a haitian voodoo zombie, don't worry about it

like a month ago, around the time nostrica was happening he was giving talks at the event that were pro censorship

bitcoin is losing ground as a payment method not only on the darknet, but also for clearnet purchases according to Bitrefill's payment data tweet thread:

no, they are both distros which use virtualization and push all traffic through tor. Whonix runs a gateway instance which is connected to the internet through tor only and forces all traffic through tor on one vm and then has another vm with your desktop and files and stuff which is never online except through the gateway vm.

qubes isn't even rally a linux distro technically because it uses some weird hypervisor thing on bare metal, which then compartmentalizes everything you are doing in it's own disposable vm. the vm's have different linux distro presets and security levels and stuff. I have never used qubes as it is too resource hungry for my old computers but I liked whonix and used it exclusively for a few months a while back.

If you read the thread, you would have seen that lightning is not private. A lightning user was identified and admitted it is not private. The node thing for monero is fud, monero transactions are smaller than the three or so transaction needed to coinjoin and coin control mixed utxos, and still have poorer privacy on bitcoin.

No, just don't compare an obese dev to our heavenly father. It is disrespectful

Observer and observed dissolve into observing. This is the way.

The Original Dzogchen Transmission: the Only necessary Instruction

Dzogchen takes the state of “fruition” itself AS the path.

That means our awareness called rigpa in Tibetan, is not only the goal to be realized but it is also our vehicle.

One initially recognizes one’s own awareness as that cognitive capacity which knows and is aware.

We then remain as the “observer” of mind, mental events and experiences without judgement, opinion, grasping or rejecting; in the witnessing role, but not as a thinker, daydreamer, analyzer, seeker, or manager. Just observe.

No need for other practices, rituals or further transmissions from teachers or need to resolve any philosophical questions or issues.

Just remain as the observing awareness, where even the observer is observed and eventually vanishes leaving only a naked and utterly impersonal observingness.

Don’t “engage with” thinking, memory and thoughts; but simply observe them instead.

Being the naked and impersonal “observingness” is the total practice because the ultimate nature of Reality as “rigpa awareness” replaces the practitioner in Dzogchen.

We are not interested in having any special experiences, no interest in non-duality or insights or special states. Therefore there is no interest in “enlightenment” or achieving liberation, because the “observing awareness” has never been in bondage or forgotten. No corrective actions are needed.

This following quote is from the famous cycle of teachings known as the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The text was discovered by Karma Lingpa (born in Tibet around 1329). It is part of what is called “The Direct Introduction to Awareness” teaching of Dzogchen and is meant to “awaken” those who simply read and understand the text without need for any prior or subsequent practice:

"And in the present moment, when your mind remains in its own condition without constructing anything, Awareness, at that moment, in itself is quite ordinary.”

“And when you look into yourself in this way nakedly, without any discursive thoughts,

since there is only this pure observing, there will be found a lucid clarity without anyone being there who is the observer, only a naked manifest awareness is present.”

“This Awareness is empty and immaculately pure, not being created by anything whatsoever. It is authentic and unadulterated, without any duality of clarity and emptiness."

Questions?

How do you feel about the dalai lama trying to get a young boy to suck his tongue?

Didn't elizabeth stark also speak at the wef? They could have said they don't accept the award and oppose the wef to set the record straight and addressed it. They didn't do that though, did they?
