If you're gonna be posting cool art you gotta set up a way to receive zaps. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
I just googled (not literally, fuck Google) 'proxies' and read some of the results. You basically pay someone to route your data through their server, which obscures your IP address. A VPN accomplishes the same thing but *also* encrypts your data. Hence, I'm not sure why someone would use a proxy in addition to or instead of a VPN.
This post led me to learning about proxies, so thank you. What is the benefit of using a proxy if you already use a good VPN? It seems redundant as I'm understanding it.
Thank you for spreading Bitcoin education, it sounds like you're good at it. Still, not everyone is ready for that level of participation. The majority of people are still convinced Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme that's boiling the oceans. You have to get past those hurdles (and a lot more) before you can be open to the practical applications. Both types of education are still necessary.
From what it sounds like, the talk wasn't aimed at established Bitcoiners (who are the more appropriate audience for the topics you mentioned). It sounds like a more fundamental 'here are some problems with the existing system of which you are a part, and here's how Bitcoin is uniquely suited to address those problems'. Perhaps it's hard for you to empathize with noobs because you've been in the space a long time, but these concepts are still going to be alien to people who haven't considered them, especially if they've been long successful in the legacy system.
'Here are some videos' is not as compelling as an in person talk, especially for people in the boomer bracket. Perhaps one could argue that the concept of diminishing returns applies to new recorded Bitcoin content, but to try to argue that the same applies to in person lectures is IMO retarded.
Did you immediately jump in and buy bitcoin when first presented with the information? I didn't. It took repeat exposures from different sources. Even if none of the audience goes out and buys bitcoin immediately after this talk, it serves as an exposure. And coming from someone like Lyn, I imagine they probably perceive bitcoin to be more legitimate than prior to the talk. These things take time and this particular audience has a lot of inertia tied up in the existing system based on the description of atendees. Would you just prefer no one bothers to give presentations on bitcoin's potential if it isn't certain to lead to immediate increases in adoption?

I personally believe that nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx is flooding the mempool out of pride.
Stay prideful and burn sats.

Well this just makes me want to buy some Fednow merch and support Shitcoin Magazine 🤮
I thought everyone could experience frission.
Sure, I guess. Seems like semantics to me. Without Bitcoin there would be no crypto scams, so I think it's accurate (though not precise) to say Bitcoin started crypto. Regardless, he seems to understand that there is a difference between Bitcoin and crypto, based on his rhetoric and actions as SEC chair. He also taught a class at MIT on Bitcoin from a technological perspective.
Thanks for the context.
This. Who is making the argument that Zeus is 'breaking' LN? This is the first time I've encountered this view and it seems nonsensical to me.
Not if you're viewing things from a spectrum of freedom and view Bitcoin as the thing that will maximize freedom for the most people.
Really? So you don't think we need doctors, engineers, or scientists? Because it seems to me we as a society do need them, and if you ask them, the majority are going to tell you that their degrees and the knowledge they gained obtaining them are not useless.
First time posting my fractal art to nostr
