True decentralization really begins with scalability at 100,000+ nodes. Below this amount, the chain should be considered a “centralized“ system. Now tell me again about how your favorite chain is so “decentralized“. #callathingathing #realtalk
Just because you could say anything doesn’t mean you should say anything. #signalornoise
Why do i need to pledge my allegiance to #bitcoin? Why do i need to be a #bitcoiner? Can't i just be a fan of the huge innovations and massive potential that has been growing within the Semantic (#crypto) web space? #decentralize #distributed #privacy #transparency #security
Trying to find the signal within all this noise. #flyonthewall
Gm & Pv #nostr ☕️ 🌞
After Thursday’s presidential debate, I have a tough time relating to or wanting to be a part of any politics. I’ve been feeling this for quite some time and haven’t really supported any political candidate from either party since 2016. I sure as hell won’t support Donal Trump, I’d like Biden to step down, the DNC is corrupt, and the progressive wing of the Democratic Party is a laughable sideshow that’s ineffective and grasping for relevance.
I am left leaning ideologically and politically, and obviously while I’m feeling this and running nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld I can have mixed feelings about the title/brand. Can the progressive bitcoiner take on and be an identity of its own, calling those to embrace a new “progressive,” forward thinking view with Bitcoin? I don’t know, but many on the left are still absolutely repulsed by bitcoin and closed off based on tribal, group think. It’s disappointing to say the least. Is the title or risk of distraction worth it, considering the normie left isn’t tuning in as I desired anyway?
Bitcoin is millions of miles above this silly politicking and left/right divide. It is so much bigger, and more important, than all of this. My hope with the pod is that it has presented diverse content and helped people feel seen and heard that don’t typically resonate with the right/libertarian dominate crowd in bitcoin, not to divide.
My feelings on all of this may lead to a rebrand of the pod (removing political labels). It may not. I want to be very intentional either way, and my focus remains the same of wanting to highlight what I think are the most import things in bitcoin: human rights, mining and the environment, social justice, basic tech understandings, Bitcoin for everyone and global freedom money, etc.
No. You are not alone.
Signal > Noise
Just remember: Anonymity ≠ Invisibility
Since I’ve come across #nostr, the world has gotten so much bigger and so much smaller at the same time.
So where can I find good dialogue about $BTC and $XMR?
