It's not exactly a one to one comparison. I can buy weed with a debit card, for instance.
I'm pretty sure life is good not because it's perfect, but because you can comfortably admire and seek beauty in the fragility and imperfection of it.
Identity is, after all, just a word. All words have value, but what value lies in the word "simulation"?
Truth be told, we've already seen what happens when a large group or entity is cut off from credit processors: WikiLeaks still hasn't recovered and PornHub deleted all unverified content. Bitcoin isn't cash yet, but cash is still king.
I think the only chink in the armor comes from an unaddressed but very relevant problem; obtaining crypto. If the government wanted to kill crypto all they'd have to do is outlaw exchanging fiat for crypto. If you can't turn your warbux into sats there really isn't much value in it.
For sure, but at the end of the day you're stuck hoping the Bitcoin foundation and heads of pull requests are acting in your best interests. In reality, it's not so democratic, but it certainly follows populism.
This petty bullshit is why mastodon sucks. Mastodon exists only to protect degenerate furries and dudes who dress like ladies, and they've managed to turn federation into "federation".
I really do appreciate Onyx. It's nice to have a client that doesn't choose what you see for you. nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv did a great job with the fork. 🫡
The Internet is a wild place, ngl.
That's a bit "on the nose", as it were.
Some corporations just want to watch the world burn.

You can even see the reports made on individual profiles. People have reported nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for impersonation even though his pubkey is listed on his official Twitter account.
I spent way too much time studying the Bible, and truthfully I probably wouldn't be atheist without this plethora of Bible knowledge.
It's wild how much venom I see out there about pride month, and all supposedly coming from "devout Christians". But, no, not really. These people don't know love.
I can't stand hippies. I'm sorry, but if it isn't backed by large scale studies it isn't a fact.
Not gonna lie, I love a good kombucha. Don't believe the dirty hippies though, there's nothing magic about it aside from the flavor. It's not going to extend your life or make you healthier. It's just tasty.
