My biggest dilemma with BM is principle.

They fueled the problem I want to fix, unapologetically.

It would be fitting to include them in the fix, but it also rubs me the wrong way.

Part of me wants it to be just Bitcoiners until the answers to my questions in the article becomes more clear.

Then we can strike.

But point well taken. Assuming they pick up a "Nobody" author.

I'll do one better.

Here's the executive summary:

- Bitcoiners are arguing about the wrong enemy.

- Images aren't causing the high fees; BRC-20 shitcoins are.

- This is fueled by VC money, and the BRC-20 payday breaks normal fee-market incentives.

- The problem is getting worse, not better.

- We have ways to dig deeper; let’s work together.

- There are possible “solutions” that don’t break Bitcoin.

Major outlets like BM likely want first or exclusive.

Their SEO value diminishes for example if they've published duplicate content.

If I self-publish AFTER a major outlets, that may work.

Still do have one. Pondering.

It's coming.

Is Japan on 120+ year mortgages yet?

Some of you know I'm working on an article about what I believe is REALLY going on with Bitcoin fees, and it's not jpegs.

My dilemma:

I'd like to get my article seen by the people that care about Bitcoin, but also by the morons enabling the bigger scam.

Do I publish on an outlet like Bitcoin Magazine, where both sets of eyeballs might read it?

BM is complicit in the scam, even if unknowingly.

Or do I self-publish on Habla, where I have FULL editorial control, no risk of rug-pull, but likely WAY fewer eyeballs based on my follower count?

I DGAF if I get credit/fame. It's not that awesome of an article anyway. I want people to stop and think, evaluate if they've been fighting the wrong battle.

I have a tentative option to publish somewhere in the middle, like on Parman's blog site.

Thoughtful feedback appreciated.

My forthcoming article (literally from a Nobody) proposes some non-code solution ideas.

Thank you all. 🙏

Habla definitely looks like the right solution!

Okay #AskNostr what's the best way to publish an article ON Nostr? Presumably multiple ways.

I'm working on one, and would like to publish to Nostr, where I have editorial control, and rug-free assurance.

nostr:npub1ltt9gry09lf2z6396rvzmk2a8wkh3yx5xhgkjzzg5znh62yr53rs0hk97y I might also ask you how you both self-publish and get on sites like Bitcoin Magazine, etc. specific order you do that in?

It would appear so.

And THIS is the economic incentive we need to be fighting against.

They're making the money on shitcoins, not images. So turning millions into billions means they DGAF about mempool fees. Small potatoes cost of doing scam-business.

Not only are BRC-20 shitcoins fueling the fees (rather than images), but the number of them is increasing. Legend below is one day from the chart.

Argue the correct battle.

Did you nuke the hash? Did someone actually change the image?

Badass. Now, how do I get this into amethyst?

Sorry. Feels like I'm asking to be spoonfed.

Discord can't have ALL the fun though.

I can't emoji these as note reactions, but they are among some of the best ASCII art I've seen in quite some time. 🏆

I am once again asking for a guillotine emoji.

And now also asking for a killdozer emoji.

Normies are retarded.

[visible sadness] realizing killdozer emoji does not yet exist.

Nostr always gets my best memes, stolen or otherwise.

Keep these coming.

Memetic warfare is declared.
