"For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." Patrick Henry "More law, less justice". Cicero

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but sometimes I just gotta vent.

It's painful to see prominent bitcoiners support ID's, as I'm philosophically opposed to identification.

Through all human history man has sought to have one group take from another group. As a necessary prerequisite to this you must label the groups you want to divide. All powerful governments have utilized this tool to control their herd and subjugate others outside of the group, from the Romans to the Germans to the Americans.

If ID's exist and must be presented(regardless of where the ID is stored) you have no privacy, and privacy is necessary for a healthy society.

The power of bitcoin and nostr to prove ownership of speech and other property by revealing a hash is by design antithetical to the purpose of identification and allows the user to reveal themselves selectively.

Hope you're having a great day πŸ₯°

Well done! Have the best time, just had one son turn 18 and the other 16 two days ago πŸ₯³

I did this class and it was sooooo good. Nifty is an awesome teacher. Also good to get a full node and run through the RPC commands on the console and just see the main net in real time, it's beautiful.

As for improving programming skills I highly recommend Replit.com some great educational material there.
