I suppose there could be parallels drawn with people who will never interact with Bitcoin’s L1. Through the use of trusted third parties like custodial wallets and, Liquid and Ark servers, trust is reintroduced and therefore, immutability goes by the wayside.

We actually need more censorship before they will be able to see the value of censorship resistance…

FedNow went live, last July. It’s only a matter of time, now.

When I ask if they accept Bitcoin I say, “why not? It’s free and instant.” I do not draw a distincion between LN and the base layer. Most of them will never interact with L1 anyways.

For all intents and purposes, a verified signed tx is just as good as base layer sats. As long as I can send it to my cold storage, whether I actually do or not, it’s good enough for me.

BIP 119 will allow for the creation of Lightning factories which will enable super cheap creation of LN channels. If Project Bitlandia is a success, we will keep Bitcoin and LN in the hand of entrepreneurs, where it belongs. Here is the conclusion to the proposal I’m writing. We’re going to need LN factories to be able to handle the base layer side of this. Once open, a LN triangle can be used to keep the channels balanced, asymmetrically, so that one Chanel will carry the majority of incoming and outgoing liquidity while, the other two will will be used for short term utility.

If you can buy a politician, you can buy a scientist…😒

There’s about to be an epidemic of people walking into traffic and getting run over. This won’t end well…

Radio head was the war cry for an entire generation!

One things I’ve noticed, which low key disturbs me is, when we were young, we wanted to be free. We were especially sensitive to anyone trying to control or censor the internet.

Today, the younger generations seem perfectly content to live in a world of centrally controlled censorship. What happened?

Who will pay for the roads?

First you have to admit that someone has to produce the value to pay for the roads.

When a man’s property can be voted away from him, you have collectivism; socialism; communism.

Taxation is theft.

“The road of like is rocky

And you may stumble too.

So while you point your finger

Someone else is judging you.”

Bob Marley’s Could you be loved

Stolen meme!

Are these also physical art pieces we can buy? Can we support the artists via zaps?

All roads lead to nostr!

Nostr doesn’t have breaks…?

Nostr doesn’t need breaks!

I’m glad you took that the right way. My ideas tend to be pretty far forward looking and, as a trans person, I have been forced to tiptoe very lightly around the subject of children, lately. And, as a trans person in bitcoin, I’m exposed to more phobias than I would normally allow in my life. But bitcoin is too important for me to back out.

It’s extremely refreshing to hear a true libertarian say live and let live. You obviously see people as people and let their actions tell you who they are. And you have the integrity to do so in such a polarized world!

The world needs more people like you! 🫂🫂🫂

It’s the season!

Yeehaw! Giddyup!

This is the best note I’ve ever read by anyone trans or not.

My cousin taught me about horseshoe theory. As you go further from center Botha side get further apart, to a point. But after that, both sides actually start coming together again. So the people at the far end of both sides are actually closer to each other than they think.

Most trans people just want to live normal lives and do normal things. It’s these particular trans people who think they’re helping but they’re actually doing more harm than good.

Early I n transition,there’s a phase we call “the pink cloud” where we reach peak euphoria and when that wears off, the juxtaposition of the two hormones, testosterone and estrogen have a battle inside the trans person. Since transitioning is a necessar inherently selfish process, or manifests itself in a lot of way.

Airing your dirty laundry on socials is never the right thing to do. On that we can all agree. Society is adapting to this revolutionary new tool called a computer. As we adjust, we have a choice on how we evolve as a species. For the first time in history, we get to choose the trajectory of our own evolution.

As we attain higher and higher levels of technology, we much more serious ethical questions to discuss as a society as a whole. Downloading human consciousness will give us effective immortality. But how do we deal with an immortal Hitler or Stalin. Do we place them ins artificial hell? Or do we just erase them? What about AI porn? Or AI child porn? We live in very difficult times and it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

How we show other humans compassion will decide how we answer these hard questions and more.

When people tell me I’m living my dream, I say no, im loving my reality.

Is this the standard we should be using. This is setting the bar kind of low…

You don’t own your property. The government own everything inside its borders, including you! Your social security number is a serial number. I’d you don’t think so, try to renounce your citizenship and they’ll hit you with a 50% exit tax on everything you own!

It has to do with Bitcoin’s USD exchange rate. Larpers gonna larp. But when there’s no volatility, there’s not much to larp. The freedom maxis are still here.

And for those who aren’t, I’m sorry but you need to start, now! nostr:note1uvpqm3tvwcwjzhg47p8c70frc7vzpu3zafgj023xr6ka5jvgujlqx2psal
