“I don't ask for money. I don't ask for sexual favors. I don't ask for access to the hardware you design and sell. I just ask for the thing I gave you: source code that I can use myself.” - Linus Torvalds

One of the biggest ethical misconceptions of our times is that EGOISM is somehow evil.

______________

Happiness is the essence of human existence.

Egoism means concerning your own interest, where you are the beneficiary of your moral actions. Egoism is not even somehow good - it IS man being good.

"Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world." - Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto

I’ll say it again, and I’ll keep saying it until people get it:

I HAVE NO INTEREST IN GETTING NORMAL PEOPLE TO USE BITCOIN AND NOSTR

I am only interested in getting those who demand self-sovereignty for themselves, and are unequivocally dedicated towards building a future where everyone owns their own data, and no one can cancel them or steal it away from them.

I struggled with this for a while @HODL

I was an atheist / agnostic before I was very close to dying in 2015. I spent 7 days unconscious at the hospital. I didn’t have a “near death experience” hallucinations of the after life etc. Just darkness / nothingness. This is what I believe “hell” is, literal oblivion, it’s terrifying but it also brought extreme clarity that our actions in life matter and I connected with something that is not of this world while I was there.

After I came back and since then I can tell you without a doubt in my mind. 1000% certainty, God / Christ is real, It all happened, it’s all true, heaven is real, good is real, evil is real, the soul is real, being a good person is important, honesty / truth is important, integrity is import. Even when no one is looking.

Sometimes you’ll be hated for doing the right thing but things we’ll always end up working in your favor at the end. It’s like a cheat code to life to follow the “narrow path”.

He will always have your back and he hasn’t let me down once even in the darkest times you’ll see that it was for a reason at the end.

What you do in the mortal realm is what you’ll be judged for when it’s all over. Cannot explain it or show proof but I know it to be true in my core.

Also, once you feel it. It cannot be unfelt, it’s so obvious in your face but that’s the hardest part for most people because all the things you use to determine truth in the flesh (vision, hearing, logic) doesn’t apply. It’s a matter of the heart only and it’s extremely personal. You can be shown the door but only you can open it.

All that being said I don’t push my beliefs to anybody or try to convert people. Nor do I care what they do with their personal lives. I know if I do good, good things will happen to me and when I die (hopefully a long time from now) I will be alright. I do not fear death, it’s become clear to me that it’s a feature of being human, not a bug. Those who do evil or justify things in the name of God are larps because it’s extremely personal and only within you

Elon is a handmaiden of the deep state, and if you think he’s a freedom fighter for good; I’ve got some BCH to sell you that’s actually real bitcoin.

Delete your platform accounts. No fuss. No spectacle. No grand finale, no great exit. Leave their houses, leave their prisons, leave the golden cages behind. They all benefit from the noise that you make, so do the one thing that they can't censor. Be silent. Leave. And leave the noise behind.
