The next normie you meet who hates bitcoiners and free speech might have been radicalised by scams like this.

Stupid people have rights, too. Even worse, properly motivated they are useful to those with power.

If you can't self host it, you can't know it's not a honeypot.

Every time I try to open a bank account, in ANY country, I’m reminded of how utterly broken & backwards the banking system is.

The amount of data collected, and the amount of microscoping into your asshole they do, just so you can use your OWN money is mind boggling.

I sincerely look forward to the day this stupid system is wholesale abolished. Seriously. Fuck these people.

Big air.

Jan 6 was a peaceful protest that escalated due to State actors’ instigation. There would almost certainly be State actors instigating again, but I suspect they’d be exposed by aware protestors on the ground recording footage.

If you believe MasterCard, it's Recorded Future.

Personally, I feel like that's asking who has the best lead balloon. It's not that it's completely impossible to get value there, but it's misguided.

I feel it'd be better to look at the processes that cause vulnerabilities, the vulnerabilities themselves and defenses to immediately detect and resond to problems.

As compared to CTI, which focuses on the payload that was used to exploit them, at best, or at worst: surfing message boards looking for people bragging about hacks or selling information obtained.

Lightning isn't bitcoin. You are basically using a shitcoin pegged to bitcoin. You might as well start understand that neither options is private.

Everyone can see your transactions, especially those who enforce taxes on you.

Scarce need to imagine far away, that kind of world happens today around the globe when you look with attention. A few eastern parts of Europe included in present.

Imagine yourself with geo-blocked internet access, unable to fetch stuff from aliexpress and troubles to even keep your phone charged with power.

Sneakernets become more useful than LoRa clouds.

They didn’t get the layer 3 memo? 📝

Are there any good projects worth hearing about? Any that have the potential that lightning network had?

There are dozens of Bitcoin "layer 2" projects with millions in VC funding and huge followings on X.

None of the Bitcoiners I know has even heard of them. These projects don't go to Bitcoin conferences, they go to shitcoin conferences.

Layer 2 is this cycle's scam. Be safe.
