Interested in: Observing and meditating on life and creation, the great work / jihad an-nafs / spiritual alchemy, individual and collective sovereignty, the persuit of freedom, unifying human connections, online privacy and security, FOSS/FOSH, Anarchy/Agorism/localism. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Rise or die trying. You will reap what you sow.

Yeah, it's not a bad choice tbh... I mean it's not a trustless setup of course given that I could have made a copy ๐Ÿ˜… but I can at least trust myself to burn after use and I sure don't have a photographic memory ๐Ÿ˜‚

Well, this is kind of how I feel, but I also know that the parents are incredibly humble people and I don't want them to feel imposed upon or indebted ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I feel like I have a fine line to walk here between generous and gaudy ๐Ÿคฃ

It has been a long while since I gave up trying to orange pill people, it just fealt so futile. But yesterday I got talking with this guy who seemed switched on, he understood what was financially wrong with the world and how a big part of it was the FIAT keynsian system, he understood the benefit of gold backed and hard money standards, and how deadly hyperinflation can be, he knew something about Austrian econ. The guy sceptically "held" (probably custodially) a small amount of CryPtO.

So we had been chatting about an hour by this point around these kind of topics and I thought fuck it, maybe I'll offer the pill again, so I gently tried to suggest how #bitcoin is the hardest money ever to exist and if adopted globally could potentially solve a lot of the problems he's seeing,... He confidently came back with some low IQ FUD about new "bitcoins" being printed all the time whenever a new cryptocurrency is created, this comment made me feel at a bit of a dead end. But fuck it, I've come this far I'll push on further.

So I went deeper in explaining first mover advantage and all the other differences which make BTC stand out against the rest and I actually feel that I might have moved the dial. Another friction point for him was that most of the Bitcoiners he had met were "conspiracy theorists" so I refrained from informing him that many conspiracy theories are provably true these days ๐Ÿคฃ but anyway... I feel I moved the needle with this guy. I don't think I fully convinced him as we ran out of time but I have hope that I may have shifted his perspective just enough that the snow ball starts rolling.

Or maybe I'm just #coping about a wasted conversation? ๐Ÿคฃ I try to stay #optimistic.

"My life is but a weaving

Between my God and me.

I cannot choose the colors

He weaveth steadily.

Oftโ€™ times He weaveth sorrow;

And I in foolish pride

Forget He sees the upper

And I the underside.

Not โ€™til the loom is silent

And the shuttles cease to fly

Will God unroll the canvas

And reveal the reason why.

The dark threads are as needful

In the weaverโ€™s skillful hand

As the threads of gold and silver

In the pattern He has planned

He knows, He loves, He cares;

Nothing this truth can dim.

He gives the very best to those

Who leave the choice to Him."

Surely a gentleman of your deep interests is fully aware that almost all of these "Islamic" Militias have been funded and trained by the CIA etc.

Text book imperialist tactics, British Empire did it to a high degree, once USA took global dominance you see the same textbook played out again and again. Destabalise the country from seemingly internal conflict, then come in to "save the day" while taking rights to resources as a "reward".

US tax payers money is funding terrorist training AND the following conflicts, meanwhile pockets in high castles get very well lubricated!

Well this is interesting, I haven't come across this before... Which is kind of odd considering my general interests ๐Ÿ˜‚ thanks for the tip, I'll be looking into this some more ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Well once your super powers develop would you come and give me a hand? ๐Ÿ˜‚ mine seem to be stuck in the mail somewhere

Maemo was so ahead of its time! It really had so much potential to be better than Android or iOS, if only more people had realised. I guess there's an alternate timeline out there where mobile tech is privacy respecting and community driven all thanks to the widespread adoption of Maemo ๐Ÿ˜…

I just can't yet comprehend how anyone can read both sides of this story and draw the conclusion that v30 is better for bitcoin than Knots ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ it smells of fake news, disinformation and ulterior motives. If I hear a legitimate argument to change my mind I will consider it because I'm not delusional in thinking I'm always right. But I haven't heard an argument yet which didn't turn out to be straight up disinformation or diversion.

Although in my case it's more that I'm usually too busy living to bother much with social media, (before nostr came along I didn't bother with socials at all for about 5+ years) so if you see me posting here it means I actually have some time to stop and breath from this whirlwind of life ๐Ÿ˜… nostr:note1c39l9lewq8r98zzare4ekyd8sqw97fr6fw5qsz9ypf0q70eqa7fsfdcful

Yeah, I basically mentioned a similar sentiment In a previous post about this topic, but nobody saw that post because my npub was so new ๐Ÿ˜‚ it's possible to make the argument that it's a feature not a bug, and the argument I made was that it reflects the "real world" more acurately. When you arrive to a totally new place, you have no friends, it takes time and a lot of effort and interaction before you start finding the people you want to continue interacting with, nostr currently mirrors this in my opinion, and maybe it's not a bad thing, but it is frustrating to come here as a new npub ๐Ÿ˜….

That being said I've had this new npub about a month now and I already seem to be getting fairly decent engagement (for my level).

But I do still think there is room for improved discoverability in those early days, Lord knows what though ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜… I'm no dev.

No pain, no gain ๐Ÿ˜‚ at least I have work which I am good at, enjoy, and feel like I am providing value to the world ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ gotta find the gratitude in that ๐Ÿ˜ thanks for the follow.
