BTC 100% and going down the Lightning and Golang rabbit hole.

I long for the day when politicians actually act on the consensus from the people they govern rather than as is done now. The only time they give a shit about our prospective is when it is voting time.

One has to understand first why the fiat system created by the rich and governments is failing us. Bitcoin is an attempt to fix the money system by having a system not controlled by the rich and the governments.

fiat - your purchasing power devalues over time.

BTC- your purchasing power increases over time.

This is the basic difference between fiat and BTC. Now do you want money to work for you or do you want to work for money?

Don't blame yourself for not understanding because we've all been lied to for so long we become blind to the risks of the fiat systems in place today.

Reading 'The Creature from Jekyll Island' in 2008, opened by eyes.

#Ross was definitely unfairly punished and fully deserves a pardon.

I never had must trust in Trump's support of Bitcoin and his actions to date are very self-serving. Rug pulling Bitcoin (a key ingredient for freedom) while claiming to battle evil.

On the plus side, here I some positives that I seen.

1. Securing the southern boarders.

2. Restating all dishonorably discharge military personal who refused the JAB with full back pay.

I would add that a metal of freedom should be created and given to all those dishonorably discharge military personal as well.

Any other positives that I'm missing?

All comments on this thread failed to suggest a decent note-taking app that isn't super convoluted.

I used Telegram as a way to quick jot notes for future use, reminders and whatnot, but I am trying to move out of that, so I started using https://simplenote.com/, but what a weird app. It logs me out if I don't use it for like 2 days, I don't like the fact that it has these titles because I don't need titles, I just need a place to paste content, and also it's not chronological like Telegram messages but also I can't reorder the notes as I wish, they are shown by most recent updated first, which is weird.

Anyway, all of that was ok if it wasn't for the weird syncing issues that started to happen recently: it takes sometimes hours for updates made in one device to be synced to other devices, I don't know, it looks like their server is broken or something.

I don't know why I'm writing this note anymore, but I think we could easily have a note-taking app with private notes writing to private relays on Nostr.

I've been using Obsidian for a while but not to it's full capabilities. So far, it has been better than anything I've used before.

If #bitcoin stays decentralized and secure, it is imposing the first global free market the world has ever seen.

Productivity gains flow to broadly to society in free markets through deflation.

Everyone gets richer every year and competition to provide value increases driving a cycle of unprecedented prosperity.

But, if you are pricing #Bitcoin in USD, you are still in the system of extraction and centralization which must centralize faster through the extraction of the productivity gains that should flow to society in the form of lower prices.

The two systems are incompatible!!

And…It is a confusing topic because we have no reference for what a global free market looks like……so many people will get rug pulled (eventually) by not choosing self custody and running nodes. Instead trusting institutions and a paper derivative of their #bitcoin.

Why: because it will appear they are getting wealthy (in USD) Protecting the decentralization and security by running nodes and being constantly vigilant for new attack vectors will seem like a stretch! For most people pressing the easy button in an ETF or other centralized entity will seem like the right thing to do which ensures faster centralizing.

That centralized system of extraction MUST eventually attack Bitcoin or fail.

This may be a long time out. Ie - if I was on the other side of the fight - I would make my system as easy to integrate to bitcoin as possible and use the natural biases of humans against them. Ease of use, trust in institutions, time, etc so they didn’t “need” to worry about self custody and understanding how the protocol works.

Those on building on #Nostr, Bitcoin, Lightning, Ecash and spending their time contributing on this open protocol and teaching others are on the front edge of the greatest change the world has ever seen. From extraction to cooperation.

Stay vigilant, stay focused, run a node, and tune out the madness of the system of extraction trying to drag you back into its centralized structure.

For the opportunity to exist, It had to be this way!

We are so early.

Know thy enemy better. The FED and individual income tax is on the top of my list.
