Use the computer. Don't let the computer use you. There's a war going on. The battlefield is in the mind. And the prize is the soul. - Prince

Absolutely agree. Words have connotation. They matter. The alpha geeks pick words that their sub-culture understands and then they don’t understand why the majority folks don’t get it and then they retreat to dropping meme’s and quippy snarks, which only does more to frustrate well intended learners and slow progress. I’ve been trying to navigate it for two decades with various devs. There’s a weird ego/nerd pride in it which ironically prevents them from achieving the ends they claim to be about. Humans maaan.

Could make similar arguments for the physical security issues surrounding seed phrase storage, correct?

I’m more interested in beating up solutions and getting to the bottom of truth and weeding out the BS amidst a very real war, which has nothing to do with ego. The gardening inspo is also stellar.

Totally. It’s social influencer circle jerking. Honestly disappointed with the actual level of discourse on Nostr. Just a buncha meme-ing and preaching to the choir. Your garden game is choice tho! :)

Still havent found the fine fine print. Citi requires institutional KYC with 4 week turn around for access. BitiFinex and BtoFuture stonewalling. Cant figure out if Nostr people want to have serious discussions about such things or are just meme-ers who want to perpetuate their own internet circle jerk celebrity-ship. The discourse is disappointing on most fronts so far. If you end up digging in #[9] , I'll just email ya.

I predict we’ll look back on this era and deem the algos one of the worst things humanity ever created. Akin to the atomic bomb

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

So then why does @jack get a pass? Unless I missed it, he’s never actually owned it and repented, but just shrugged and made excuses...”oops…I let it grow too fast”. That is not leadership and the MO seems misaligned with the principles he/we claim in the BTC community. Is he gonna piss in this pool with the same ideology that created the bird monster?

P.s. For anyone that has been paying attention for any amount of time...Elon is obviously a government shill and/or an intelligence asset. I've been saying it for 5 years.
