Especially the ones that present the "other stuff." This isn't Twitter
Onward freaks 🫡🗡️ 
That said, it still helps to participate in lawfare when necessary
Never needed their permission in the first place. If you really think about it, it doesn't matter what laws they pass
This article is not about #bitcoin twitter but it might as well be.
So many bullshitters in the field. Most are just making things more confusing.

The self-help thinkboi economy. Reminds me of the New Age Philosophy grifts over the years
lmao
I care MORE about people after studying bitcoin. They should meet some of my fiat earther friends
"Being able to choose who to trust, and having tools to help you do that as efficiently and as minimally as possible, is almost as much of a superpower as not having to trust at all."
Freedom of association, soup du jour. It's probably one of the most underrated aspects of freedom tech
I've always found the "be the best, fuck the rest" attitude to be the type of nihilism that led us to the fiat-flooded hellscape we're in today. At the same time, I've been in the space for nearly a full cycle and I've grown to accept that some people in the space don't care about what their peers are fighting for. That's fine. That isn't the battle they've chosen, and that battle is harder to wage than it seems. Plenty of freedom fighters to find here in the meantime
Also a real estate grifter. He gives no fuck about freedom, let alone freedom tech
Truly heartbreaking. I'm trying to warn certain people around me about this (without even saying the b-word) but it really looks like they're gonna learn the hard way and all I can do is accept it. I really don't want them to get squeezed like this
Couldn't even imagine it. E-cash is awesome 😎
All the fucking time it seems. 😂 They think they're above bitcoin or something
👏 I fully endorse the expropriation of shitcoin tech wherever it makes sense
I really hate it when people dunk on Laszlo and his historic purchase. Bitcoin doesn't increase in value automatically. At some point, there's such a thing as having too many bitcoin
We are very early. The vast majority of people are somehow convinced that they don't need to study Bitcoin, despite their constant complaining about inflation. Also, I think that a bitcoin standard being established before fiat fucks off forever is a likely scenario. It's gonna take a long time, probably more than a lifetime. Hyperinflation can last decades
People pretend otherwise so that they won't piss off the spooks or something 🤷♂️
The more nodes, the merrier
#bloominati 🤙
Even in a world where fiat still exists, there is such a thing as having too much bitcoin. I realized early on that I won't be as young as I am today in two or three cycles, and there's a limit to how long I can leave my life on pause to accumulate corn. Considering that has altered my mindset significantly
nigga what lol
Yeah I changed my nym for Mother's Day
Happy New Year! 🥂
Unpopular opinion, but here it goes: UX is the most important problem we need to solve for Bitcoin Privacy.
We can hate on KYC exchanges all we want, but they've got UX nailed down. We cannot expect privacy to become the norm when I have to take an hour out of my day to make a P2P trade.
Now that CASPs will start delisting privacy assets like Monero and blocking coinjoined btc with the EU's new AMLR, we're being stripped of using regulated exchanges even semi-privately. This makes P2P exchanges like BISQ Network even more important, but its of no use to regular users when you need an introductory course in computer science before understanding what's going on in the app.
Privacy will only become the norm when we make it usable for everybody. **If you're a UX designer, copywriter, or in any other way have expertise in UX design, please consider contributing BISQ:** https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq
ℹ️ If you're not a developer, contributing to GitHub projects can be scary. It really doesn't have to be. I can't tell my asshole from a python script either, and if I can do it, you can too.
Here's how to get started:
If you find a UX issue in the BISQ app that could be improved, start by opening an issue in the BISQ github repository. Give it a clear title describing the problem you want to solve.
Add screenshots or videos to your issue showing what the problem is. If you can, add a proposal for a potential solution. Bonus points if you can add wireframes, layouts or clickdummy documentation. For reference, see npub1zqsu3ys4fragn2a5e3lgv69r4rwwhts2fserll402uzr3qeddxfsffcqrs 's work on eNuts: https://github.com/cashubtc/eNuts/issues/341 (I don't know how to tag people here but you get the idea).
In open source projects, questions are your friends. I've spent countless hours asking every dev i know absolutely insufferable questions, and I still dont know how the fuck to get out of VIM. Everybody starts somewhere, and most people are happy to help.
If you already know how to use git or github and can code a little, ask where you could find the corresponding code for your problem in your issue and offer to do a PR. If you can't, ask what assets would be needed to implement your proposal. Remember that people are nice and generally happy about new contributors, even if you're a beginner.
If you have any questions on contributing to open source projects as a non-coder, feel free to reach out anytime. My DMs are open (I think).
I think Bisq 2 is addressing UX, and if they stay on course, it'll be as easy as Coinbase, minus the naked mole rat. Definitely important to point out that people don't need to be a software devs to contribute to software projects, even outside of the bitcoin space
They're just trying to scare us again
