If you are at shitcoin adjacent Vegas 2025, you should come see me speak. I may or may not be on drugs, I have not decided yet:

Session Name: Bitcoin as a Digital 1776

Stage: Genesis Stage

Time & Date: May 27, 2025 from 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

——

Session Name: Are Bitcoiners Becoming Sycophants of The State?

Stage: Genesis Stage

Time & Date: May 28, 2025 from 4:00 pm - 4:30

Unpopular opinion:

Being able to choose any custodian you wish on an open, global, permissionless network… is still multiple orders of magnitude better than having a single custodian on a single network controlled and KYC’d by a single network owner.

Of course, I get we don’t want to stop at “choose your custodian,” and the reliance on them is not ideal, but pretending it isn’t any better than the fiat shit we have come from is also deeply disingenuous.

Example: if a popular custodian started censoring or went down, every single person on Nostr could update to a new one (from any country in the world no less) in a matter of minutes, and continue receiving sats from the same people and on the same profile as if nothing changed… now do that with Twitter or Cash App.

The only lack Nostr really has imho are at key times like this where bitcoiners are absolutely dunking on the shitcoiners.

I'm hoping one day Bitcoin will liberate me and my family 💜

FORT KNOX IS FUCKING EMPTY

THERE AIN'T SHIT IN THERE

I’m not getting into that debate, I’m just talking about the coins themselves.
