do you think he actually believes this or knows he is full of shit?

One thing I love about football is that, even against all odds, underdogs can rise up and defeat the biggest teams.

Here’s the tl;dr on why #Bitcoin is anarchy.

Anarchy means “without chief/ruler”, via medieval Latin from Greek anarkhia, from anarkhos, from an- ‘without’ + arkhos ‘chief, ruler’.

Bitcoin is a set of rules, but Bitcoin has no ruler.

Bitcoin is anarchy. nostr:note1qe4dp8zhe0rd7axapf0tnzv2gxak5u64k399k97fvm92eqngmlqsnnsd60

Imagine not opting out of this complete madness

They're broke and they want your money anon

Adopt #bitcoin and keep it far from their reach in full self-custody 🔐

Hey #nostr, what’s driving new user growth right now? What’s your guess?

Send me a DM now, i have something important to share with you...

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s purple pilled me by posting about Nostr on Twitter in December 2022.

I’m still here.

I’ll always be here 🫂 nostr:note1ktg64nutfep9067vu0elhweyah32lrkwjj670qrl570t5rw67hjse6nmxq

I often forget that if you are reading this and on nostr, you are part of an extraordinary high signal group that understands on some level WTF is going on.

Don’t get dismayed by the haters, detractors, doofuses, and dumbasses. Building this tool and other parts of the sovereign tech stack will be one of the keys to keeping humanity free in the future. Keep building frens.

There are many users who are not used to posting, they like to read. They may not post for several months. They just like nostr and they are paying attention to the future of #nostr . They will always like the posts they like. Don't ignore them, they are also active users. 🪽💜🪽

It seems inevitable that lightning addresses will be scraped and compiled and used to send unsolicited messages (with a payment attached).

What are your thoughts about this? How should it be managed? What are the benefits/downsides?

The Double-Edged Sword of Efficiency

-----------------------------------------

As an engineer, I hold efficiency in high regard. I aim for punctuality, consistency, and above all, I strive to avoid waste.

However, efficiency has a counterpart - fragility. When a system is hyper-efficient, it loses its resilience to disruptions. Over the past half-century, cost management has leaned heavily on this notion of extreme efficiency. The surge in money printing, which should have led to inflation, was largely counterbalanced by the efficiency gains from centralization. However, this centralization has left us exposed and vulnerable, even granting undue power to foreign governments.

No one is fully self-sufficient or immune to these issues. While it may appear beneficial to have a "global community", it actually exacerbates the problem. It creates a myriad of single points of failure, where the entire system can come to a halt if certain conditions are met.

The solution lies in being slightly less efficient and leaning towards self-sufficiency over hyper-efficiency.

Fortunately, Bitcoin presents a viable solution. As deflation becomes normalized, businesses can shift from exploiting efficiencies to fostering innovation. This could lead to a constant disruption of industries, producing better products through genuine progress rather than scale management.
