Freedom maximalist, Bitcoiner, human

200 hours, concentration, an open mind and will is all that freedom requires. Said another way, few will ever be free, because freedom is in all cases the road less taken. That’s the difference.

Eyes are often blind to what the mind is capable of seeing.

Holding out hope that my son will be born today; c’mon whitepaper baby!

The fact that Elon Musk's title is "Technoking" and Jack Dorsey's title is "Block Head", speaks volumes.

One is about ego, and one is not. But more importantly we can see the difference in their actions more than titles from there.

Elon wants to build Twitter or the shitty name "X" into the next WeChat, with himself as the leader. He has literally said this. I used to be able to report bots on Twitter easily for many years, but now I have to show a drivers' ID to report someone that copies my persona even as a 600k following paid blue check, and so I don't bother anymore, and therefore bots proliferate. And if you don't pay for reach, you get devalued. Only in the past few months have I had to show my ID to report my countless bot copiers if I want to report them on Twitter/X. And so their rate of removal has decreased. If my Nym differs a bit from my name, well LET'S FILE SOME TPS REPORTS!!!! (which wasn't previously the case). And so as bots proliferate, and as Musk fails to contain bots as he promised he would and bragged about with memes, he will instead reference his own self-created bot problem as a reason to require even more ID requirements and try to build his US version of the Chinese Communist Party WeChat app. This is exactly what governments do. In my professional opinion, after careful consideration, Elon Musk can ::check notes:: politely go fuck himself, and those who worship him should reconsider what exactly they show blind obedience toward.

Meanwhile, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m helps improve the Bitcoin network and the Nostr network and has put capital into them in various ways, and Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader. The fact that Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader, is specifically why Jack puts time and capital into them. He funds many different companies, and for bitcoin, Cash App has been among the networks to incorporate Lightning early. Yes, Cash App deals with domestic compliance issues. But they are trying, and they are early. Their network can connect to many others, like an email provider using SMTP to connect to many others. They're open, they're trying. And now they are making Bitkey, which helps with self custody. They're certainly not a directional enemy of freedom in the way that Twitter/X has been.

Companies that incorporate open networks with various levels of compliance trump companies that purposely don't adopt open networks and instead push new ID requirements, in my book.

+10 Jack

-10 Elon

Any day of the week.

I proudly first joined Twitter when Elon took over. I was hopeful that it would become a free speech platform, and if that were to occur, the world would greatly benefit.

Anyways, don’t trust, verify is my perspective, and that’s why I’m spending more and more time with team purple.

Nostr + lightning is the decentralized internet that the cryptobros promised. All of the blockchain dreams live on—only without the blockchain, of course.

Bitcoin has always been money. Just as 6 has always been the sum of 3 and 3, even prior to discovery. Bitcoin is a discovery and an invention.

Got an idea. Wikipedia—but the information is updated for sats. Relays are paid to host each page, and donations are split between the relay host and the contributors. No censorship, truth.

I’m going to create a reporting service for self-sovereign bitcoin usage. This is in preparation of the new FinCEN reporting requirements. The name of the service is Print_Harder_Janet Yellen_GFY, LLC. Branding is very important to us. It will appear in large print on all reports.

The actual report will be featured on a copy of the US Constitution appearing in place of Amendments 1 and 4, in particular, as those Amendments no longer have value. Delivery will be effectuated by hand delivery by an actual clown.

Peer-to-peer. Invite them over to your house, pour them a drink and talk. If you don’t sit down with them, they won’t get it. It’s gonna take hours, but that’s literally the use case for good wine.

Breaking out mine this weekend.

I, too, believe that, in some ways, bitcoin frees your mind. There is a feedback loop. Bitcoin is found by the free thinkers, but with bitcoin, your ability to think freely is enhanced.

Jesus is, to me, the solution to everything that bitcoin can’t fix. Learning to follow him is not easy, as it contravenes our biology. I fail constantly, but that’s the point. Failing toward an unachievable goal is my goal.

Let’s discuss what happens if the exchanges are cutoff from the banking system. One option is everybody turns in the towel—Bitcoin dies. Or, just go with me here. . ., bitcoin psychopaths withdraw cash from their banks, eat some fees and use BTC ATMs with cash. That might mean more deposit pressure—not less. 🤔
