Their job is not to inform but to police the flow of information and ideas; while lulling the masses with mostly nonsensical ideas that keep them powerless and afraid

What happened to the revolution?

quantum computers are coming. we should think about how to protect btc before the attack happens, because if we don't, the loss of reputation will be unrecoverable

Does your last comment really makes sense to you? You think teachers brainwash children? Like math, science, reading, writing are not necessary?

I can tell brainwashing has happened…doesn’t seem to be coming from educators.

When they are educated that they are being exploited and there is another way.

#capitalism needs a uneducated work for force to exploit. #bitcoin #nostr #capitalismsucks

There are 5 people in the world who understand

And 3 of those care

Other than that, nobody knows or cares much about it

As long as Bitcoin works with whatever narrative, that’s enough for most

It’s a non issue

#bitcoin

No matter what

The protocol stands at 21m

The game = Get them all

The way = Self Custody

The outcome = Hal Finney $10m $ adjusted for inflation 50-100m$

The best way = $100m per #btc so 1 #sat is $1…. Perfect

The perfect money, needs the perfect strategy

Not a business cycle, not a 4 year mining cycle, not government help or regulation

It simply requires Bitcoin holders to do the one job they have to do

Buy/Hold/Self Custody/ Use it as currency

2026 Bitcoin cannot be like 2025 which was a horrible year of talk and barely any real action

21m of which only 19m in existence of which 3m are lost, of which there are only about 2 million in the actual market, of which price moves off about 5000 #bitcoin

The simple solution is above

Bitcoiners want god mode difficulty though, well you’re getting it

Just remember it downs have to be this way, choices matter

2026 Bitcoin….. we do not want to lose any more users. We lost 27% of Bitcoin users in 2025

That’s not good education

We need users, not paper etf HODLERS

Time to get back to basics, not Wall Street hopes

Why not both? 😬

I believe Nostr can grow stronger and faster if small businesses here actively support one another-especially those that introduce real products and accept Bitcoin and sats. When we build an ecosystem where people can truly buy with Bitcoin, not just talk about it, Nostr becomes more than a protocol-it becomes a working system.

If we support each other, Nostr can evolve into the place where people come specifically to discover and purchase unique goods with Bitcoin-something they won’t easily find on other platforms.

There were once two phone networks.

The first was called Bitcoin Mobile. It was young, independent, and strange. It didn’t belong to any government or corporation. Anyone in the world could build a tower for it, as long as they followed the rules. These towers were expensive to run, so the people who built them were paid only when calls were actually made on the network. Every call, every text, every bit of data helped keep the towers alive.

When Bitcoin Mobile was busy, it grew stronger. More calls meant more revenue, more towers, wider coverage, and better security. Attacking the network became nearly impossible, because there were towers everywhere, run by people who had a reason to defend them. The network didn’t survive on promises or reputation. It survived on use.

The second network was called DollarTel.

DollarTel was old. Very old. It had towers on every continent, backed by powerful institutions, courts, armies, and laws. If a tower went down, another would replace it. If a user misbehaved, their line could be cut instantly. People trusted DollarTel not because it was fair, but because it was unavoidable. It had always been there.

One day, clever engineers figured out how to make DollarTel SIM cards work inside Bitcoin phones. They called them stable SIMs. With these SIMs, people could still hold a Bitcoin phone in their hand, but their calls quietly routed through DollarTel’s infrastructure.

At first, everyone was excited.

“You can keep your Bitcoin phone safe in a drawer,” people said, “and just use DollarTel for daily calls. Bitcoin is too precious to spend. It’s digital gold.”

So people stopped calling on Bitcoin Mobile.

They still admired it. They talked about how revolutionary it was. They measured its market value and pointed proudly at the number. But fewer calls were being made. Fewer texts were sent. The towers noticed.

Some tower operators shut down. Others stopped upgrading equipment. Coverage thinned. The network still existed, but it wasn’t as alive as it once was. From the outside, it looked strong. Inside, the hum was fading.

Meanwhile, DollarTel thrived.

Every call people thought they were making “on Bitcoin” was actually strengthening DollarTel. Its towers grew busier. Its control increased. It became easier to monitor, block, or shape communication, because nearly everyone depended on it again.

Years passed.

Bitcoin Mobile was still called “digital gold,” but something had changed. Gold doesn’t need to defend itself. A phone network does. Without calls, its security had quietly weakened. An attacker no longer had to fight millions of towers — only thousands. Influence became cheaper. Pressure became more effective.

And then some people finally noticed the problem.

They realized that Bitcoin Mobile was never meant to be a museum piece. It wasn’t a treasure to lock away and admire. It was a living system. A network that only survives when people use it, pay for it, and rely on it.

They understood, too late for some towers, that holding phones doesn’t keep a network alive. Only calls do.

So a few people started calling again.

Not because it was convenient. Not because it was cheap. But because they understood that every call was a vote. Every call said, “This network should exist.” Every call paid for the towers that made the network free.

And slowly, wherever people chose Bitcoin Mobile over DollarTel, the signal came back.

Not instantly. Not easily.

But honestly.

The inversion most people miss

The narrative says:

“Debt fuels growth.”

The reality is:

Debt pre-claims labor.

It’s not neutral.

It’s not victimless.

It’s a time lien.

And the people who get to conjure the digits earliest — banks, governments, large institutions — get first claim on that future labor, while everyone else pays through:

higher prices

longer working lives

reduced purchasing power

shrinking optionality

The quiet truth

People think they’re “bad with money.”

What they’re actually experiencing is:

being downstream of a system that already spent their time before they arrived.

You must actually be one of the most retarded people on nostr since you're saying this to one of the least retarded people on nostr

Think you need to dig deeper

Max pain?

LOL. Scam.

Even Walker?

You’re the one who is naive. Spam will always morph and find its way onto the chain if it’s affordable to do so. To think you can stop it with perpetual changes to the protocol is a reactive losing game and it’s the naive way of thinking.

Let go. Stop being emotional and stupid. Fees will price out spam eventually. If in the interim the spammers leave a bunch of huge stupid unspendable multisig scars on the chains that’s a much worse outcome than spendable UTXOs.

I see ad hominem has entered the chat...

You didn't argue anything against it, rather just attacked him and his motives.

You would convince a whole lot more people if you can help explain why his 'cope' is incorrect.

I certainly cannot do so, what say you?

Its a deceitful cope by Calle as he wants to build L2s on Bitcoin and needs op return blown open to do it. He is happy to lie to everyones face and deflect from his own grifting.

It actually adds to the discussion. It shows there is third side (most of the people) who think both sides of this debate are stupid.

Your desire to see everyone clearly aligned with one of two sides shows your brain damage from too much exposure to modern US politics.

I do not trust Jameson Lopp. This article further cements that. He leads with ad hominem attacks and says nothing about the issue at hand. That said, If Luke is a risk as a single maintainer, what can we do to get him some support.
