I need to learn illustrator. Presently I don’t know how to digitize / digitally modify my art.

Have only recently taught myself the basics of Lightroom from my photos even 😂

新年快乐!

I like to think about in similar terms as the internet and what we now call legacy social media like X. They weren’t perfect and had the current issues baked in from the beginning . But they were far more decentralized then the newspapers and tv news channels of the previous era. Freedom and decentralization is a continual battle and there is no panacea.

Also think that a major issue with big blocks as a scaling solution is that it inevitably leads to centralization because the blockchain bloat eventually means that no one can afford to run a node except large data center operators. Imaging a 1000TB+ chain. So while individuals have a level of autonomy in transferring on chain they trade off privacy and consolidation of nodes and don’t get to chose who operates the nodes.

With layer 2 solutions such as fedimint and cashu an individual gets to chose who they do business with and I believe individuals will do business with a number of them at the same time. Some may be fractional reserve, some may not but the important thing is that they will be auditable in real time and not enjoy protection as banking racket and be based on a sound monetary base. Will the system be corrupted or gamed in the future at some point? probably! But what’s the alternative.

On philosophical level I don’t believe that complete and unconditional individual autonomy is a desirable goal. Humans are social creatures and can really only exist in extended social realities. And it seems those social realities actually define the individuals and visa versa. So I think bitcoiners and freedom lovers need to be less individualistic and form strong social bonds around something coherent to bind them together in order to resist tyranny. Otherwise they get isolated and picked off.

Anyway those are some of my thoughts sorry for the long rant, you asked😂

Thank you for this. Very insightful. I guess question whether physical hardware and bandwidth scaling might render block bloat a moot point. But of course this isn’t the case today.

I also super agree on the community piece (I have a bit I wrote on that but haven’t published yet). But essentially yeah, I believe Bitcoin is trustees but Bitcoining is nothing without trust…

I’ve done 3 of these so far. Planning do some news ones when I carve out some time to focus with the pencil and pen.

Holla at me! We can figure something out!

Indeed. Photos, Art, Writing, and Capoeira over here (when I’m not mining fiat)

I LIKE THESE

What should they call it? It’s not like they call called “BIPOC oppression pack” or “DACA Libre!”

But for the artist, depends on if the task is to draw people. The price may have some marketing baked into it but also likely driven by higher marginal cost of production for a niche color set.

Speaking as a guy who was a fairly developed artist even at the crayon stage - the skin tone pack definitely does have product market fit, albeit a niche one.
