A bunch of freedom loving people and... some other stuff transmitted by relays 😁
It feels good to fuck around on a global permissionless value4value exchange protocol.
Orange-pilling is the art of selling some hard truths and hope. You may also mention that zapping is pure fun.
If Lowery's thesis is false (as it well may be the case), it is not because of the semantic word-play argument that you presented. He calls it a new type of warfare for specific reason. Softwar war is to be a bloodless war of power/hashrate competition. If anything, I see him as almost too idealistic, peaceful, and utopian even. I wish he was right.
Lowery wants to replace kinetic war with bloodless PoW hashrate competition. What can be more idealistically peaceful than that? The handwritten version was chosen deliberately because it made over 6m impressions on social media (there are other versions of that diagram). No need for personal attacks. And yes - the discussion with Breedlove was great. Cheers.
People that understand #bitcoin will not sell it.
Present 🤘. I guess I use it from day 1 or 2. Seems very stable. Thanks for relaying my notes.
I wrote about the implications of open networks (including a lot of content regarding Nostr) for my recent article on Swan. And I'll be republishing it in a couple weeks on my website as well.

I finished it late and reread some parts as soon as opened my eyes in the morning. In essence, it is a great piece about the conflict between top-down dystopian Big Data surveillance forces and bottom-up cryptography and decentralised open source freedom rebellion. It might be an intro to a book on this modern/technological version of the eternal struggle between tyranny and freedom.
Take time and read it.

#nostr feels like home
You just nicely laid out a predictable bad scenario. It seems, however, that we are approaching a cross road. The other possible way leads to the governments hopping on Bitcoin train in order to escape the debt spiral. I grant the latter may seem too optimistic and even naive. But all it may require - it seems to me - is a competent leader in one of the G7 or even G20 countries to spark a hashrate competition. The game theory may do the rest. What do you think?

Is it only me who thinks that #Fedimint protocol is a suitable tool for future banking services? I may be wrong. But I can’t help imagining federations of banks issuing e-cash and holding keys to multisig wallets for people/families who (for whatever reason) decide not to self-custody their keys.
