wdym?

I mean if I was the CIA/NSA I would spin up a company like this to target privacy related individuals to use the service with promise of blocking the exact thing they fear to easily collect that data.

Much the same as they’ve done with NordVPN.

Authentic Bitcoiners are few, I'm sure, a lot of influencers and a lot of graphics, but all false words.

What is an authentic Bitcoiner?

I think the three most important requirements are:

- Someone who has 99% of their wealth in Bitcoin if you exclude housing, in some cases even including housing.

- Someone who has their own node.

- Someone who holds their own coins.

But most importantly, you meet these requirements because you don't see value in Fiat, so you are able to see Matrix.

You only see in the Fiat forgeable papers, in the same way you only see in the house and other goods rights of use granted by the government that can be taken away from you at any time.

The right of use is always granted by a third party or under consensus, a right of use is not private property.

On the other hand, freedom, like private property, is violence, I know you don't like to read violence, the government has educated you not to use it and be a sheep, but private property is directly proportional to the capacity you have to defend it, if you can't defend it, it is little more than a right of use, a concession.

And this is where Bitcoin comes in, its defence is totally asymmetrical. To defend your house from the government you would need an army equal or bigger than the government's, but to defend Bitcoin you only need to hide your 12 words, you won't even have to use violence.

And lastly, if we were all authentic Bitcoiners, the government would cease to exist, there is no money, no bread, the government thieves have to eat too, if they don't eat then you know, they die.

Bitcoin is much more powerful than you think.

Government would have to exist in some form but I imagine it would be more along the lines of what the government looks like in small local government. They have little control over overarching issues but keep things like resources(power, water, roads) functional using mutually agreed upon donations from locals(taxes).

This is untrue. Computer Science curriculum almost always includes networking and programming. Of the candidates that I have interviewed during my previous tenure in information security, the computer science majors always had more practical experience. That curriculum forced them to set up their own labs for projects, create programs, and extensively know computing systems. They also have 4 years of computer science rigor under their belt and in many cases come with letters of recommendations from their instructors instead of a month of studying for the cert they achieved that was made by some random guy on Youtube.

Unfortunately this makes sense. From an Information Security standpoint, it is EXTREMELY common to have candidates apply that are completely self taught and have been brainwashed by the InfoSec certification industry to believe if they buy the course and get their cert, they get a job. They have absolutely zero practical experience with networking or enterprise environments in general. It’s very disheartening to see the influx of these types of certification companies advertising to individuals how prestigious passing their course will made them when it’s just not true at all.

Whether you want to believe it or not, mass surveillance is happening everywhere... right in front of your face.

Just because your government isn't talking about it doesn't mean it's not happening. It's actually the exact opposite of that.

They'll also tell you it's in the best interest of national security but why?

So they can catch criminals?

How many criminals have you heard of being caught using these systems?

And even so, why would they be creating profiles on everyone else while they're at it?

If the Supreme Court ruled the CTA is unconstitutional, how can they enforce those policies still?

This is one of my favorite gifs and it bums me out it doesn’t play.

Legitimate question.. living in a place that is so visually captivating, how much do you feel it lowers your stress level?

Bitcoin may be the future.. but the governments really really don’t want it to be OUR future. They want it to be theirs.

Any time we come up with something that would push the betterment of peoples lives, they will take that from us to ensure they control that something so they can have say so over when our lives get better and when they don’t.

I was talking to someone on here yesterday about the fact I could see some replies on the Damus iOS app but not in Primal despite the relays I have configured being identical.

I wonder if we'll eventually get to a point where there are relay aggregators where you can go and add your relay to a "master relay" so that someone only has to add one relay to get access to tons of them at once.
