Hi nostr:npub1patrlck0muvqevgytp4etpen0xsvrlw0hscp4qxgy40n852lqwwsz79h9a . Can you see my comment?
I see twitter folks in nostr. Twitter will be dead ☠️ coming decades.
The government hates you and they're powerful. Check out American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders for a glimpse of how powerful that can be.

How? I feel #bitcoin has changed me. . But created a split with friends n family and makes it a lonely place to be
I wish I could quit everything and go do this in some village back in India.
😂 same here. What u do for work in fiat?
Scam US Government and US dollar allows Big Tech to take monopoly over AI (ML/Deep Learning) than decentralization of AI to all the public. The infrastructure should be owned by public not Big tech scumbags
You have more hours to go on educating yourself on #bitcoin.
If you have cash($,£,¥) etc you can lend it to person/entity/organization . #Btc is programmable money. Within your lifetime you can lend and earn yield and do much more with it . Don’t sell and regret. Just hodl
#Bitcoin turns sadness to solace, anger to laughter, fear to excitement, jealousy to appreciation, blame to forgiveness
“The Theory of Leisure Class” among its conclusions are the following
1- To be seen doing work is to be lowered in social esteem
2- When educated to believe that to save their earnings is not a good, people buy useless products(and investments) that only bring profit to the manufacturers
3- The age old craving for gold and diamond (breeders of war and misery lacking all social use) is supplemented by the modern hunger for brand-names that give object a value they do not actually possess

“The Theory of Leisure Class” is not, however a ‘penny dreadful’ piece of sensationalism determined to entertain the general reading public through calculated shock-waves. Nor does it fall under the category of the (excellent) journalistic exposés of the era, such as Ida Tarbell’s scorching indictment of the Standard oil Company and John.D.Rockefeller rapacious rise to power. Veblens book follows the model of scholarly analysis that casts its intelligence over an entire social system. In a tone that is sharp but not shrill, Veblen names no names and singles out no specific villains. His seemingly impartial observations fall alike on business tycoons and their foot-men, men of cloth and college football players. Veblen only overtly displays his distaste when describing the dogs and horses put of display by members of the leisure class.

“The Theory of Leisure Class” well beyond the level of other writings of its time that tried to ignite awareness that too much money was in the hands of too few people who had too limited a notion of what to with their barbaric booty.

The fact that Elon Musk's title is "Technoking" and Jack Dorsey's title is "Block Head", speaks volumes.
One is about ego, and one is not. But more importantly we can see the difference in their actions more than titles from there.
Elon wants to build Twitter or the shitty name "X" into the next WeChat, with himself as the leader. He has literally said this. I used to be able to report bots on Twitter easily for many years, but now I have to show a drivers' ID to report someone that copies my persona even as a 600k following paid blue check, and so I don't bother anymore, and therefore bots proliferate. And if you don't pay for reach, you get devalued. Only in the past few months have I had to show my ID to report my countless bot copiers if I want to report them on Twitter/X. And so their rate of removal has decreased. If my Nym differs a bit from my name, well LET'S FILE SOME TPS REPORTS!!!! (which wasn't previously the case). And so as bots proliferate, and as Musk fails to contain bots as he promised he would and bragged about with memes, he will instead reference his own self-created bot problem as a reason to require even more ID requirements and try to build his US version of the Chinese Communist Party WeChat app. This is exactly what governments do. In my professional opinion, after careful consideration, Elon Musk can ::check notes:: politely go fuck himself, and those who worship him should reconsider what exactly they show blind obedience toward.
Meanwhile, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m helps improve the Bitcoin network and the Nostr network and has put capital into them in various ways, and Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader. The fact that Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader, is specifically why Jack puts time and capital into them. He funds many different companies, and for bitcoin, Cash App has been among the networks to incorporate Lightning early. Yes, Cash App deals with domestic compliance issues. But they are trying, and they are early. Their network can connect to many others, like an email provider using SMTP to connect to many others. They're open, they're trying. And now they are making Bitkey, which helps with self custody. They're certainly not a directional enemy of freedom in the way that Twitter/X has been.
Companies that incorporate open networks with various levels of compliance trump companies that purposely don't adopt open networks and instead push new ID requirements, in my book.
+10 Jack
-10 Elon
Any day of the week.
I like how euphemistic you were on X platform about this 😂👍🏻
Will we have decentralized exchanges for #Bitcoin?
