Bitcoin is Kardashev type 1 money

Adulthood is basically a series of people letting you down one by one until you realize everyone is in their own world doing their best to navigate life. At some point you stop taking things personally when people let you down and realize it's your own expectations of other people that ultimately drive your disappointment. Expectations are premeditated resentments.

STATEMENT REGARDING MY TWITTER/X ACCOUNT

Today, my Twitter/X account was permanently banned and my appeal to have it overturned was denied.

There was no warning issued, no 2 week suspension, no option to delete the offending tweet. Just straight permanent deplatform.

My offending tweet?

"Bring back the guillotine."

I quote tweeted this sentence to the video presented here on 3rd September.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1698249077061009496

Someone reported the tweet and my account was irretrievably shut down on the basis of violating rules against violent speech.

The vaccines (and vaccine mandates) caused so much harm to people all over the world. Many lost their livelihoods, incomes, businesses, marriages, families, confidence and will to live. Some lost their good health and worse, some lost their lives. The coercion to get vaccinated was immense, and to be told "it was a choice" is a kick to the teeth. Today, many regret having taken the vaccine.

My crime? I dared open up the conversation on how best to hold decision makers accountable for their decisions.

Meanwhile, other Twitter handles are able to post these and keep their accounts. The inconsistencies and arbitrary nature of these suspensions is ashtonishing.

Having said that, I fully accept the consequences of my actions.

On a brighter, more productive note, I'm proud to have educated thousands on my YouTube channel (Ministry of Nodes) on how to hold their own keys and run their own Bitcoin node such that these arbitrary decisions can't be made with people's money. I'm convinced it will get worse, and that we need Bitcoin more than ever.

As part of my educational content, I also sell plug & play Bitcoin Nodeboxes to those who want to quickly get up and running without the steep learning curve that goes behind it. Have a watch of how easy it can be.

Thanks for reading, nostriches.

These are early Bitcoin times. Enjoy.

I appreciate your response, i just think if you had an extended dialogue with nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl he might have a different opinion about whether using a secure element is “additive”. It was invoking this argument that to me felt like a lack of steelmanning the Seedsigner perspective.

Even with coldcard you’re probably storing an unencrypted analog seed phrase backup somewhere right? Steel plate or otherwise, so the argument that having seedQR laying around as a point of insecurity doesn’t feel fully thought through IMO.

As a tool, Seedsigner offers a unique FOSS DIY solution that can play an integral role in many highly thoughtful approaches to cold storage. I won’t casually accept framing that the project is somehow lesser than coldcard (as implied by your statement that secure element is “additive”) when in fact many would disagree with this framing.

Love you bud

Regulatory capture gives capitalism a bad name

Stablecoins would be better described as pegged coins; ideal for those who enjoy fiat pegging.

PSA: I'll be dumping dollars on the market today. Being transparent to give retail a chance to front-run.

I observe that highly intelligent people who were right about something (Bitcoin), turned highly arrogant people speaking with crushing certainty, are falling for the vice of idol worship, with the idol being their own intellect.

This will not end well for them.
