Did the Strike X NCR thing happen ..?

What if we renamed Pennies dollars?

That’s how stupid this is.

Bout that time eh chaps?

My 10 year price target for bitcoin is $8,008,135

The more I listen to Saylor the move I appreciate David Bailey

It has come to my attention that there are some #Bitcoiners that don’t think #Bitcoin can reach $1,000,000 in a matter of days/weeks after ETF money starts to flow in. They’re in for a pleasant surprise.

It's actually kind of shocking how polarized my Twitter/X feed has become.

So many people who were technical developers, capital allocators, thoughtful geopolitical commentators, etc are now just outright tribalists.

-Some of them are direct anti-Palestinian. Not just anti-Hamas, but outright against Muslims existing in Israel.

-Some of them are direct anti-Jew. Not just anti-Zionist in the sense of being critical of the modern state of Israel and its border rights. But instead just like, actually anti-Jew.

I hate to see this. The truth is not necessarily in the middle (ie "moderation" may itself be wrong by assuming the middle is correct), but perhaps more concerningly, many people can't even steelman their opponent's view. In the best of worlds, you should be able to explain the most intelligent version of your opponent's view, and then deconstruct it by explaining how it's wrong.

I see little of that. Hardly anyone can do it. My feed is now mostly like 90 IQ tribalist stuff, even from 120 IQ people. It's sad to see. I rarely see anyone who can steelman the Palestinian case and then explain why Israel is right, or steelman the Israeli case and explain why the Palestinians are right.

I have my own personal views, first and foremost toward the civilian children, and secondarily toward land rights, but perhaps my biggest view thirdly is to criticize the sheer polarization that has occurred. Everyone is sure, but few can particularly explain the dilemma in detail in such way that acknowledges their smartest opponents views and then builds their own case against that. Almost everyone is instead polarized and tribal now.

X just removed the title from links shared to the platform, likely in an effort to prevent click-outs.

Still possible to click out from the article but it’s easily missed. Posts with links included will likely require a call to action to prompt click outs.

Walled gardens everywhere. #Nostr will thrive in proportion to big tech censorship, surveillance overreach & self serving features.

Bitcoiner’s know when to jump ship on a terrible social media network.

We abandoned Reddit when the results of the 2016 election caused a site wide crackdown.

And now on the eve of America’s WeChat moment, it’s time to abandon Twitter/X.

Gm, you’re not ready for what’s to come. #Bitcoin

What things are important enough to you that you would protest over, or practice civil disobedience over?

It’s a a good thing that most people have no idea how the world works, because once you see it you can’t unsee it.

Ignorance is bliss.

That said I could never be one of them.

I simply have to know the truth.

Even if the truth is horrific.

For me there are no other options.

Why not?

Apple Stockholm Syndrome is real. Wake Up people.

Bitcoin functioning in a sovereign way will likely never be allowed in Apple's walled garden.

Face it, you are asking, begging, pleading for a platform to let you use it the way you want to...

Do we do the same in bitcoin? No...

Great!

Did you know there is amateur radio allocations on 3G, 4G, 5G bands?

Samsung was going to make it available on some hardware.

How come phone manufacturers don't let you p2p with your phone?

Telecoms don't want you to have...
