THE PARADOX OF FUNDED DISSIDENCE: THE REPUTATIONAL "TROJAN HORSE"

ᶠᵃˡˢᵉ ᶠˡᵃᵍ ᵃᵗᵗᵃᶜᵏ

This tactic transforms capital investments into a counterintelligence tool, in which the success of a project is, in reality, the prelude to its planned cancellation.

In the current technological landscape, the most sophisticated threat to an anti-establishment movement is not direct censorship, but financial capture followed by reputational demolition.

This strategy operates through three calculated phases:

1. Capital Injection (The Capture Phase)

The establishment (governments or large VC firms linked to central power) does not necessarily ban the emergence of privacy technologies. Instead, they fund them through opaque investment vehicles or bridge entities. The objective is twofold: to monitor development from the inside and to create an operational dependency that the project could not sustain organically.

2. Preventive Damage Control

By acting as hidden financiers, central power acquires a "call option" on the project's survival. If the tool becomes too effective or uncontrollable, the system does not need to resort to legal force; it simply prepares the narrative of its own infiltration.

3. Revelation as a Weapon of Invalidation

The final phase is the "leak" or the discovery of financial ties. By exposing that a privacy project has been fueled by the very institutions it claims to fight, its most critical asset—community trust—is destroyed.

The Result: The project collapses due to the desertion of its most loyal users.

The Consequence: A paralyzing message is sent to the rest of the ecosystem: no alternative is pure, and every attempt at rebellion is, by design, under control.

This is true and a way better incentive model to moold that for people.

Fuck advertiser's and centralized bull shit

I'm sure there are many that are trying to get rid of X and just use #NOSTR - I also have been off Facebook and Instagram for 5 years already

I'm 2 months in, and the times that I quick glance at X to get some news or whatever, I am flooded with fear, anger and existential threats

If this is how it affects grown ass men, think about your kids

Find something better and get a grip on it for your kids. They can't be exposed to this shit

The amount of stress free days I have had since ditching X is unreal

Thank you NOSTR

I looked at the data with my child’s play mathematics and the outlook for Bitcoin in 2029 is not rosy at all, a far cry from all the million dollar predictions. I’d be _very_ surprised if we break past 200k in 2029. Hope to be mistaken because I’d mean that NGU is dead, and in 2025 NGU was put into question for the first time in Bitcoin’s history. Without the NGU bitcoin becomes unappealing for 90% of hodlers. That is the uncomfortable reality we choose not to talk about.
