welcome on Nostr !
It´s the place to be.
can Hermann participate too ?
to the one it concerns, whoever it is:
I don’t need any fake followers, thanks.
I feel pretty good even without this nonesense.
Stupidity and greed allow them, as in the case of gold, to capture a genuine medium of exchange, tame it and turn it into what it is (was) pitted against.
we shall see

"your gilded cage" ...
yes, so true
Almighty, make people see !
So here's another drama. This might end Paralelni Polis, the reputation of Josef Jelačič, or both. And it is an interesting look at justice in free society.
Let's start:
https://www.paralelnipolis.cz/en/ethprague/
TLDR:
- ETHPrague 2023 happened in Paralelni Polis (I was there, saw it with my own eyes).
- The production company raised money and did not pay rent.
- The money was sent from multisig to some unknown account, @JosefJ_ refuses to talk further and told everyone to go fuck yourself
- Paralelni Polis in financial trouble. A 10 year project that many people put a lot of energy in jeopardy.
There might be a lot of "he said, she said" bla bla. Signal is this - event happened, rent not paid, other side is not discussing it and laughing that Polis will go bankrupt.
I highly suggest boycotting any event organized by @JosefJ_, definitely don't give any money to his PWN DAO (which had a commercial presentation at ETHPrague, also did not pay rent) and definitely do not sponsor any events by them unless they make it right.
If this is it for Paralelni Polis, I hope some other people will carry the ideas, organize events. For me, PP was mainly about HCPP (Hackers Congress Paralelni Polis), which is a one of a kind conference. It was the first place in the world that accepted only Bitcoin for coffee, coworking and other services. There were many stories, many complicated stories as well and a lot happened there. Many interesting projects were started there.
Sadly, probably killed by some powertrip. Don't give the power trippers any more money at least, unless they pay the non-profit what they owe.
What's the thing about reputation and justice in free society?
Transactions are in solarpunk mode (public).
So the main question is if @JosefJ_ wants to be remembered as a scammer who did not pay a non-profit organization entering the last year of its decade rent for an event he organized, despite having money.
Or if he values his reputation more.
My theory is that reputation is worth a lot, especially in the long term and especially with entrepreneurs and in crypto. It's super hard to build it, very easy to lose it. Josef had a good reputation, which he was building for years, yet, he is willing to lose it all due to some idea in his head, which he did not yet said out in public.
This is a sad loss of human potential, but I think it will be a good way to see how justice works in a free society without monopoly on justice. We will only see it long term, if it was worth it for him, even if Paralelni Polis does not make it.
I would like to see who is willing to do any business with him after this, because even the way he treats business partners in the LLC is a huge red flag.
I would love to see a prediction market of the outcome of this paralelni polis drama, episode 1337.
BTC conferences make no sense.
The creatives should meet for workshops and the users, for whom the FOSS is made, are called upon to pay for the events, to finance them. Then on top of that an incentive, such as a personal voucher code for some hardware, and off you go. And, of course, the events are live-streamed. All good.
As the circle of participants is much smaller, the locations are also smaller and therefore the costs are lower. In addition, some users may have enough space (farm in the countryside, etc.)
The space has to nurture and care for the devs.
False incentives (earning money with the conference, etc.) are off the table.
It's not as if I'm missing out on what's happening on X.
It's that I'm spared from what happens on X.

"Despite this being a massive victory for my teenage self, and generally enjoying nerdom at a personal level (I admit I too would be intrigued by Silmarillion references in a pitch) my concern is that nerdom, in an unintentional way, is strangling high culture."
"That’s what some segment of nerds should be doing, metamorphosing from nerd into that more delicate but potent creature, the intellectual, but instead they are drawn to the easy honeypot of modern middlebrow culture because it is too nerdy, too attractive, too omnipresent, to ever leave."
very much agree

Herr Dobusch führt aus:
"Profit-orientierte Plattform-Monokultur
Aber auch abseits des besonders eindrücklichen Falls von Twitter leben wir in einer Plattform-Monokultur. Egal ob Facebook, TikTok, Instagram oder “the platform formerly known as Twitter”, alle diese Plattformen sind in privater Hand, werbefinanziert und gesteuert von Algorithmen, die “Engagement”, also Klicks und Viewtime und Zahl an Kommentaren, belohnen. Dass vor allem Emotionalisierung und Polarisierung, lautes Zuspitzen und nicht differenziertes Betrachten zu diesem “Engagement” führt, nehmen die Plattformbetreiber in Kauf. Nicht, weil sie die daraus folgende Zuspitzung gesellschaftlicher Konflikte gut finden, sondern schlicht und einfach, weil es sich rechnet. Primär profitgetrieben eben.
Spätestens an diesem Punkt wird deutlich, warum öffentlich-rechtliche Medien im Zeitalter digitaler Plattformöffentlichkeit wichtiger denn je sind. Dringender denn je brauchen wir Alternativen, brauchen wir Ausweichrouten zu den großen, profitgetriebenen Online-Plattformen, rauchen wir digital–öffentliche Räume, die primär einem demokratischen Auftrag verpflichtet sind.
Und: Öffentlich-rechtliche Medien sind schon strukturell auf Kompromiss und Konsens hin ausgerichtet. Nehmen wir als Beispiel das ZDF. "
Alternativen brauchen wir; das ist richtig.
Digital-öffentliche Online-Plattformen brauchen wir; das ist richtig.
"Primär dem demokratischen Auftrag verpflichtet" ? - hier fängt das Problem an, Herr Dobusch.
In ein Gespräch zwischen zwei oder drei oder vier ... Personen mischt sich also ein "Moderator" ein, der nicht nur (als vielleicht einziger) weiß, wofür "demokratisch" steht, nein, er gibt den "Auftrag", das Thema und damit den Inhalt der Koversation vor.
Das ist nicht richtig und kann nicht richtig sein.
Wir müssen im Diskurs herausfinden, was uns als Gesellschaft wichtig ist, ergebnisoffen! ERGEBNISOFFEN
Wir brauchen keinen Moderator.
Wir brauchen eine Plattform.
Und die haben wir jetzt (in seiner Rede natürlich unerwähnt).
Kann die ein Staat "dicht machen"? Nein.
Kann ein Dritter vorgeben, welchem "Auftrag" diese Plattform verpflichtet ist ? Nein.
prima ! ausgezeichnet sogar !
no apk ?
github ?

In short, the difference between fiat money and Bitcoin is like that between “you have to” and “I want to”.
