No prisons, no limits.

It doesn't make sense to put a jpg or a blog post behind a paywall. If it's good, it will be available for free in no time. Someone will right-click save the thing, or take a screenshot, and send it around or republish it. Trying to fight that is stupid. Putting chunks of data behind prisons is stupid.

All data can be reproduced at zero marginal cost, leading to infinite supply. That's why market prices are ridiculous for blog posts, and why it's equally ridiculous to try to sell a single blog post. What you CAN sell is access to an exclusive club or community, as well as access to the author. That's what all Twitch/YouTube/OnlyFans have figured out. But make no mistake: they're not selling JPGs. They might sell early-access (in the case of OnlyFans) which is fair, but it's not selling a JPG as you would sell an apple. Early access because if the stuff is any good, it will be available for free to anyone everywhere.

Here's the thing: people love to support other people, so let them. No limits. The success of Patreon and Substack does not come from paywalls, but from the inherent willingness of people to support others. Lean into that. Let people give without limits.

Social signaling is important. Community is incredibly important too. Do that right, and we can 100x the whole space just like a switch from $50 per game to free-to-play 100x'd the gaming industry, selling cosmetics and social status only.

Computers are copying machines. Information yearns to be free. People want to support the stuff they love, and they're willing to pay for it. Not all people, but ~4% of them. And that is enough.

Using your logic all books should be free?

Are books not behind paywalls?

An author should not be compensated for their work?

Maybe I’m naive but if I stamp my seed on titanium and bury it in my backyard then tell no one isn’t that secure?

This is a reminder that everyone isn’t a visionary and most people in mainstream media publications are incompetent

Why give anyone a company corp or whoever your keys?

Why not just keep your own keys? I don’t get it.

Make multiple copies

Keep your mouth shut

If I stamp my keys on titanium and bury them in my backyard and keep my mouth shut what’s the problem?

Exactly these people think they are el chapo lol and need all this security they are unknown nobodies all the Avg person needs is cold storage with a paraphrase.

I find it hilarious that 90% of bitcoiners in their brain think they are fuckin James Bond 007 or el chapo and require cia level security when they are mere mortal law abiding citizens cold storage with a pass phrase takes care of 99% of their threat models. The avg bitcoiner does not need keys spread out in multiple countries lol like let’s be fuckin real here. Nothing wrong with protecting your stack but a lot of shit people do is simply not necessary.

These influencers/ Bitcoin celebs biggest threat model is somebody kidnapping their loved ones and demanding bitcoin. No Cold card or multi sig will protect you from that.

If your not a bitcoin celebrity or “influencer” nobody fuckin knows who you are no one knows you have bitcoin. Unless you open your mouth and feel the need to brag about your stack like an idiot. Cold storage is all you need.

How many BitAxes do you need to be profitable with a 0.10kwH cost
