I think you are somehow right in your speculation, if Saylor is behaving that way is probably because if too many grants get assigned to core devs, then those devs might feel the need to perform all types of changes and start thinking of roadmaps, etc. Justify their grants sort of!
Plus it will attract other devs like flies. Do we really want to have devs who are there only/mainly for the money? It’s a dilemma! Some food for thought nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
This is something I would love to see @odell openly discuss and address. it would give me much more confidence in him.
So basically, there will be a "corporate SOV" bitcoin and then there will be fork wars over this and any grassroots attempts at improving the decentralization and privacy properties of bitcoin that threaten the WEF.
This some of the most soul-touching, clarifying, and entrancing music I know of. I found it many years ago and often come back to it:. Please share it if it does the same for you.

GM yall. Feeling super inspired this morning. WE are going to win.
Whatever the electricity costs to run my clippers for 15 minutes. I usually listen to Odell or some audiobook like "The Creature from Jekyll Island". This is much better than driving somewhere to pay money to someone to small talk me with mindless drivel.
I didn’t want to have to write this review of nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Green, but I think it’s fair under the circumstances.
Thanks for sharing. Very disappointing.
Is it possible to login to primal with nsec bunker?
I've been pondering the potential value of a "non-bitcoin" client that comes prepackaged muting a large list of bitcoin keywords. This way when someone complains loudly, we can just link them to that client.
Another idea would be to have a big "NO BITCOIN" toggle available on a client somewhere that does the same thing....

* Caching of NIP-05/Zap endpoints is now in place too
* Threading utility functions to make displaying threads PROPERLY (properly defined as how nostr: npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc likes it)

I was wondering why btc was pumping!
This is the winner.
A lot of intellectualism is born out of arrogance and aspiration rather than humility and curiosity.
I want to hear more thoughts from folks who think that lightning can succeed in widespread adoption WITHOUT ecash.
If you believe this, what are the people missing about the future of lightning? Some hidden Uncle Jim incentives or something else?
I have like only 1 real friend left in real life (outside of my wife), due to going through a massive spiritual awakening during my later twenties. I have tried since then to make new friends but I basically cannot find folks that I share much in common with and am beginning to realize that bitcoiners are my only real hope.
There is a city not too far from here but again I am thinking I might still be the only "serious" bitcoiner within an hour. I have kind of half orange-pilled my one friend as he does own "some" bitcoin, but he definitely doesn't have the crazy that I do.
Anyways, my wife and I are thinking about moving to a beachtown on the Gulf of Mexico. Does anyone know of any decent "bitcoin" communities on the gulf anywhere? Maybe I can bootstrap some semblance of a social life that way 🙏
