Building on Bitcoin.

Scripture already named this pattern: when man forgets he’s made in the image of God, he’s invited to live beneath it.

Dehumanization always begins inward — first we deny the soul, then we justify the cage.

The hope is this: men can still choose repentance over regression, order over chaos, creation over appetite.

Grace restores what degradation tries to erase.

Agreed, homework are pointless, and very hurting the love of school.

They create too much mental load on children. In France kids to 9 to % and still having homework.

Younger I got the same issue, now having kids I see the same feeling and is happening quicker and stronger.

Let try with adults, you'll see the results....

I'm not sure they will be as strong as kids can be.

French lawmakers just passed a bill that would ban social media by under 15s.

This raises a lot of concern, as this comes perfectly with the agency of next presidential campaign starting in the next September 2026, the same date as the bill's application date. Strange timing...!

Thing is to ban social media for teenagers, this will require massive identification either through AI, identity method (KYC like), trusted certification issuers.

The problem is even bigger as this will not only check ID of teenagers but every French citizen to make sure they will be above the age.

IMO, everything is in place to prevent foreign interference for the election campaign, and shut the most freedom network and go in the censorship.

Fortunately, Nostr is there, completely decentralized, free, p2p.

This will become the only alternative long term for freedom of speech and opinion.

Joined a couple of days ago from mainstream app. It is an amazing tech. As a web3 engineer for decade I can say there is so much potential!

New to nostr and experimenting for a couple of days.

I’m really amaze of powerful and how disruptive it is.

Particularly with Primal with zap integration.

All social network app should look like this, being able to tip publishers, content creator to reward useful content.

It would be great to see tools like extension plugged into existing social app to onboard more users to Nostr and support zaps based on their content while no exiting at first the app they know, they use for couple of years.

Could do something like that in near future…

I tried it, it works well.

I’m might use it for a project I’m building… is it open source ?

Bitcoin is powerful not because it can change — but because it refuses to break.

Its real innovation isn’t speed, features, or flexibility. It’s constraint.

It has a powerful execution layer because it enforces what must last.

Not flexibility. Not velocity. Determinism.

Every serious execution environment needs hard guarantees:

- Supply cannot be altered

- Past state cannot be rewritten

- Rules cannot be hot-patched under pressure

Bitcoin provides these at the base layer.

Fixed supply is not an idea — it’s enforced by consensus.

Immutability is not a promise — it’s verified by every node.

Monetary policy is not governance — it’s execution.

This is why Bitcoin works as a settlement and execution anchor.

You can build faster systems on top.

You can add expressiveness off-chain.

You can optimize UX, throughput, and latency.

But the execution root stays boring, slow, and extremely hard to change.

That’s the point.

At the base layer, innovation is risk.

Stability is the feature.

Bitcoin doesn’t maximize what you can do.

It minimizes what cannot happen.

And that’s why everything else can safely execute on top of it.
