If you don't vote for Trump or RFK you are actively voting against the Bitcoin industry in the USA.

Seems obvious but apparently not to everyone.

Institutional adoption and ETFs do not represent true Bitcoin adoption. They perpetuate the corrupt fiat system, as these financial products still operate within the confines of centralized, fiat-based infrastructure. Bitcoin’s real value lies in its decentralized nature, enabling individuals to escape the control and manipulation of traditional financial systems. True adoption comes from using Bitcoin as a sovereign asset, not through integration into the very system it was designed to disrupt.

TBF, These American market trade hours since the ETF approvals haven’t proven to be good for the #Bitcoin price till now…

Hope this changes.

It draws people into buying things they can live without with money that could have been saved in #Bitcoin to financially secure their future

Exactly, it’s should be just as as easy as running #bitcoin node

Btw, it should be the same thing with running a #Lightning node

Because when something is easy to setup and run, more people will do it, and it becomes more decentralized and more robust, just like #bitcoin itself

I am a believer in people and good in them, ultimately we should be good, but we likely will suffer way more than necessary and break way too many individuals.

Politicians lie, steal and kill.

Believe me, they are the living representation of the devil himself.

Dear voters,

For four years they have shown us the president does not matter. They gave us a man with a non-functioning brain, and currently for all intents and purposes we have no sitting president. No vote matters. Whoever is gonna 'win' is already determined. All voting does is tell them you dont care its all a scam. They told you its a scam. Why participate?

Yes it is, but I’m referring to Trust instruments, which I expect to be useful for a certain class of #Bitcoin owners in the US

Do any of you have your #Bitcoin in a Trust?

I’m thinking about making a long form video explaining the nuances of Trusts and #btc ownership.

What did I miss? is Saylor trying to take out bitcoin from within?

That wasn’t ever the point of money

The world is imperfect, that’s why they call it earth not heaven.

Here’s something I worry about with the dogma around #bitcoin as “digital gold” and the *perfect* money:

New gold supply has not gradually decreased through its history as a money or store of value- in fact many periods it has increased geometrically, coinciding with technological/industrial improvements (and increased economic activity, population, productivity, etc).

Bitcoin will not do this. It is hard coded not to. So… how are we so confident without past evidence through any other similar medium with similar properties (like gold) that it will behave *perfectly* as money or a store of value?

I still think it’s the best we’ve got by far. Completely revolutionary. I’m deeply orange pilled- but I’m also fairly certain that we will have to innovate and adapt around this new system in ways we don’t fully understand yet. The future is only theoretical at this point and what we’re attempting is an experiment (like the USA).

While I personally believe this future will be far better than WTF is going on now I’m not naive enough to think it will be rainbows and butterflies. So let’s keep building and discussing openly as we learn because there’s a long road ahead.

Social networks tend to build certain cultures. In this early stage, people here have a serious ability affect this culture if we ever go 10x or 100x or 1000x from here.

And you all have done an amazing job so far.

Imagine if Nostr can re-assert respect and kindness as normal online traits. You appreciate peoples' posts. You thank them. You agree or disagree politely. You treat people online similar to how you do offline.

You're not beholden to the algorithm. You're a real person, who uses algorithms for discovery. You're the master of your domain.

We still have that for the most part. Pura Vida is the unofficial motto here, which is awesome.

Keep it up.

Hey #Nostr,

Is it possible to hit a 100 follower milestone in the next 48 hours?

I would like to slowly but surely increase my followers by the end of the day (9aug)

I do not want to run but rather walk in this journey.

I am looking for real connections not just numbers.

So if you are into health, money, bitcoin, productivity, reading, training, #longevity I can interact on all of those and open to ideas.

The Comma Club - feels so far but baby steps first.

A new #nostrich needs your help;
