Yup.

Stop pretending like you didn't do shit all, for fucks sake. you're no street dealer, but you're also no boy scout, you're lucky you're out, now just lay off the attention seeking and code something useful. and close your cringe instagram.

Shit, I am out. Cypherpunk my ass. This place is like a self-help authors convention.

Not as advertised.

Finally, someone calling out this douchebaggery nonsense.

Been a week on nostr for me and this Primal trending section is just douchebag after douchebag either giving some kind of jerk-off-while-talking life advice or trying to connect Bitcoin to the big bang or or some other such dumbfuckery.

I don't get these zaps here. What's the difference between (a) an amount of bitcoin so small it means nothing to either side and (b) a like?

I don't see any real difference.

Some people are saying zaps add up, but as far as I can tell from browsing around here the only people for who they add up to more than the value of a ham sandwich per year are obvious douchebags posting some really cringe memes and Freedom Life Adviceβ„’.

No, it's that there are like 10 people here.

And for new people like me everyone trending on Primal sounds like a douchebag. I'm sorry but I went through every post in the trending section and like 90% was some douchebaggedy, self-righteous, let me share my nectar of wisdom cringe.

But mostly that there's nobody here. The trending posts at the bottom have like one reply. And they're still trending. Like that's all it takes. Come on. That's a joke.

The Bitcoin chain can't compute for shit. Wrong tool for the job. Don't like Eth then use something else. Nobody's going to rug your $0.05 or whatever it costs per transaction.

Replying to Avatar Brisket

I lent my daughter my (utility/truck) yesterday & she crashed it into a tree. She'd decided she was going to do some 4WDriving without knowing anything about it. She got cocky & now my ute is likely going to the wreckers.

She's & her girlfriend are not physically hurt.

As I reflect on the event I'm reminded that I believe there are no coincidences. As I look to find positive meaning in what looks to be a disaster, I decided to share this story with you. If for no other reason than the clarity I'll receive from the process of writing.

The ute was what I initially thought was a bargain I got at auction in December of 2023. I sold a ΒΌ of a bitcoin to buy it & before I could even get it on the road, bitcoin nearly doubled in purchased power.

The ute had a persistent & hard to diagnose electrical issue that made the ECU put the vehicle in a kind of light limp mode. I've driven about 40,000 frustrating kilometers since I've had it. It's served as a constant reminder for me to be patient with regards to Bitcoin. It's forced me to become patient on the road too, since I lack the acceleration to overtake slow vehicles without another empty lane.

So now as I type this I can feel the judgement that will probably flow from this note. But this is how I live now. I try not to force outcomes & rather, let them them flow to me. I think the end of my truck marks the end of a cycle, a personal turning point. It seems that we're all undergoing our own turning points in varying ways.

So what now? I don't know, but it's not a big deal. It's just a ute. If I have to sell some bitcoin to buy another, I can. I'm trying to be less attached to physical reality & perhaps that is a part of the lesson for me. I intend to be positive & present while looking for guidance & opportunities for action.

If this is too woowoo for you, then you know where the unfollow button is. I'm not going back to pretending that physical reality is everything.

As always, my unconditional love extends to you all. πŸ’šπŸ«‚

You, sir, are a douchebag.

Just use smart contract chains for smart contracts. BitVM is nonsense trying to make a dog into a cat. If your house is infested with mice, just get a cat, don't get a dog with some insanely complex brain implant that somehow makes it act like a cat, but still not as good a cat as an actual cat. Bitcoin just isn't for smart contracts. BitVM people are insane.

Okay week one. So far I'm seeing a lot of self-righteous douchebags trumpeting their morality, and a lot of sheep-people affirming the self-righteous douchebags' self righteousness.

What other fun can you have here besides arguing with self righteous douchebags?

Or I'm in the wrong place? I'm using the Primal app. Everyone trending seems like a douchebag. Where can I find non-douchebag content?

It's still just a belief-based thing. Like all money. Any anything that gets 100% of its value from pure human belief is going to be risk of being less believed in.

It's not a trojan horse at all. Bitcoiners don't spend Bitcoin, never will, governments know it'll never be anything but digital gold and therefore no more of a threat than real gold.
