Algo pasó con mi NIP-05 I’d. “Pubkey dose not match”

Nunca hubiera podido llegar a este level of involvement con #nostr sin haber cerrado twitter.
The thing is, my dear readers, that my life's work is dedicated to examining the ethical ramifications of emerging technologies.
I was born to think…
The purpose of #bitcoin as a decentralized financial tool, is to offer an alternative to traditional systems without the risk of damaging its users.

Look, my worry is that high impact financial harm with large-scale institutional involvement could inadvertently justify government interference, potentially leading to restrictive measures or even outright bans.
I’ve always hold a strong conviction that where there’s a will, there’s always a ‘we’ - in this case, the Bitcoin community and advocates for decentralization.
Stopping the approval of a Bitcoin ETF doesn’t equate to altering the decentralized and open nature of the Bitcoin protocol. Rather, it’s about safeguarding the integrity and fundamental values of the protocol.
The Bitcoin community, encompassing builders, users, and advocates, have played a crucial role in shaping the narrative and guiding the direction of Bitcoin’s development and adoption. We strive to maintain Bitcoin’s core properties while also promoting responsible and informed engagement with the technology.
By remaining self-sovereign and encouraging others to do the same, we contribute to a future where Bitcoin continues to thrive as a decentralized and empowering financial tool, aligned with the vision of its early proponents.
The efforts are not about restricting the protocol, but about ensuring that its use and evolution align with the principles of autonomy, privacy, and decentralization that make Bitcoin uniquely valuable.
WE, as a community of users, have the power to influence the broader adoption and perception of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin ETFs, in my opinion, represent a significant deviation from what makes Bitcoin inherently valuable and unique.
To me, Bitcoin is not just an investment vehicle; it's a symbol of decentralization and inclusion, designed to eliminate the middle man with peer-to-peer transactions, censorship resistance, and a limited supply, transcending simple monetary gains. However, the concept of ETFs, especially those managed by large entities like BlackRock, seems to contradict Bitcoin's core principles.
ETFs centralize what is essentially a decentralized currency and deprive individuals of the control and direct interaction that are integral to the Bitcoin experience. This shift towards ETFs could lead to a loss of important educational aspects of Bitcoin, such as understanding digital wallets and blockchain technology. It could also create vulnerabilities in the Bitcoin network due to centralized control of the asset.
For me, the move towards ETFs is a horrible significant step away from the technological empowerment and societal benefits that Bitcoin, in its unadulterated form, offers to individuals and the community at large.
My question is,
Why are we allowing this to happen?
Well that would be very sad but not at all surprising… what’s surprising is that the bitcoin community is allowing this to happen for a monetary short term benefit.

Blue, cómo aprendo a correr nodos en Bitcoin y en Lightning y cómo llegaste tú a ese punto? Cuales son los beneficios de hacerlo? Algún profesor por ahí online al que deba seguir?
Gracias por tanto ❤️
God bless the lightning network ⚡️
The Lightning Network was conceptualized and designed by Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja. The idea originated from their whitepaper titled “The Bitcoin Lightning Network: Scalable Off-Chain Instant Payments,” which was published in January 2016. The development of the Lightning Network is rooted in addressing the scalability issues of Bitcoin.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Bitcoin maxi and early adopter and I’ve come to love the Lightning ⚡️ network, but if we don’t ask* this questions, how are we going to improve this protocols for massive/ global adoption?
