Centralization + deep state networking

She's a glowie who knows other glowies, and nostr isn't very decentralized yet, so their "in group" is able to drown out everyone else

Genius

I wonder if social media could help (the isolation part at least) if it was trying to help and not algorithmically leeching on everyone

People who just follow instructions might never get to retire no matter how old they get. People who realize they should save in Bitcoin only need to reach some fairly young retirement age.

Somehow, I feel like that will be hopeful and inspiring to read, when it was scary and sad to type.

I must ask you all to think about this.

Despite no sound, this is the first nostronly vlog I actually watched 🤙

Remember when Trump was a law and order President, had Hillary prosecuted, drained the swamp, ended the war in Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza, then finally released the papers?

Bitcoin: Bitcoin

Receipt for a Bitcoin: paid lightning invoice

Counterfeit receipt: custodial lightning

Australia is still Australia

Does that somehow not answer your question sufficiently?

I still love Bitcoin though

Hottest woman on earth

Indeed, I'm waiting for nostr to have more Monero or doggie coin tipping

Digit used 4chan at some point in the past

Converging on Bitcoin not only makes it easier to fight but also expresses millions of people's willingness to not fight back, just like people converged on the dollar, seemed like they wouldn't fight back, and didn't fight back

Removing the 21M cap could be done by threatening miners with violence, just like everything else (e.g. gold confiscations)

How it started: "I am Henry Ford, we are entering industrialism, you will own a car"

How it's going: "I am Bill Gates, we are entering the information age, you will own nothing"

Moral of the story: horses were better than cars after all

Didn't ask

If everyone had a mix of currencies before they did it, seems like there would have been a rush to exchange Bretton Woods currencies for real ones, and central banks refusing to serve exchange customers in that way would be attracting too much attention to their scam and also probably making their physical locations targets

Then find a better word than "distraction" I guess

If you don't do trades because you want to be poor when Bitcoin fails, that's different from never doing trades because Bitcoin takes so much time you never have 2 minutes

Bitcoin maximalism is just Dollar 2.0 - it basically guarantees Bitcoin will fail, the same way the dollar was basically guaranteed to fail.

If people always kept their savings in a mix of currencies, the US never could have ended the gold standard. Trying to confiscate everyone's gold would have resulted in everyone exchanging their dollars for other currencies. Trying to eliminate gold redemptions would have resulted in everyone exchanging their dollars for other currencies. Bretton Woods would have probably resulted in everyone trading weak currencies for stronger currencies.

So the authorities wouldn't have done the gold confiscations, Bretton Woods, or the removal of gold redemptions.

Likewise, if you have gold and silver and Monero, and you hold Bitcoin because of its supply cap, and everyone is like you, then the authorities won't remove the supply cap from Bitcoin because you'd just move to Monero, and they won't shut down the internet to kill cryptocurrency because you'd just move to gold and silver.

If we continue on the current path, why the fuck wouldn't the authorities end up removing Bitcoin's supply cap or something?

Calling it a "distraction" implies you need to focus every minute, or at least a lot of your energy, on Bitcoin, to the extent that you NEVER HAVE 2 MINUTES TO DO A TRADE

In which case, why the fuck have Bitcoin in the first place?

Really should be obvious to anyone you're a cultist projecting bullshit here. Bitcoin maximalism is a distraction, it actually asks you to spend so much fucking time on it that you shouldn't have time for other things

Add "people" before the sentence objects and it flips

If you give more energy to the people not having than to the people having, then you'll get more people having

If Elon wants to use self-driving Teslas as a robot army to kill people, it would make sense to make them extra shitty with a bunch of Tesla supporters and random people getting killed too.

This way, there's no noticeable trend of every Tesla fatality being an outspoken Tesla critic, or someone else Elon would have a problem with.

The fact that his "robo taxis" are allowed is proof we live in an insane terrorist suicide cult society

I forgot you already can't use browser extensions on mobile Chrome

But you get my point overall, hopefully

Third day posting about this:

Chrome's cash value is probably a lot higher than $34.5B but the bid might be smart to ask for a discount. There might be a discount anyway if Google is forced to sell, but more importantly, Google might be fine with giving it away dirt cheap in order to remove single-party accountability for millions (if not billions) of Android and ChromeOS users.

For example, this would effect anyone that uses a Chrome-extension-based crypto wallet on a Google-made system. Today, if the extension is open-source, users can verify the code for themselves to rule out any issues with the wallet causing any loss of funds, and then they don't need top secret access to all the proprietary components of Chrome and the rest of the system to identify a culprit, because the people at Google take responsibility for all of that under their brand name.

If Google can get rid of Chrome, billions of Android users can just overnight suddenly lose the option of installing certain open-source browser extensions with single-party accountability for external failures. That's just the first effect I can think of, but there are so many more - the principle of single-party accountability applies to so many things.

Want to keep your banking login on a single Chromebook and not enter the password anywhere else, so you know Google is responsible if your saved password leaks? Gonna have to use a Mac or something now.

Countless people's options are seriously damaged by fucking with single-party accountability like this, and that's what's really worth way more than $34.5 B about the deal. #grownostr

Most people will just buy pre built devices, so adopting the network with a homemade build would be encouraging others to use plastic

Surprisingly the same thing doesn't happen on YouTube. At least for me. So far.

My channel had about 200 views in a year and then I posted a video about nostr and it got over 500 in a few days

My point was basically: to be 5x from profit at Maine's subsidy shows you have to be insanely subsidized and somehow avoid paying money for the subsidies to make a financial profit, and utilize the financial profit in ways that outweigh the other costs to make it a real profit

The subsidies are also financially expensive, obviously, so what seems like financial profit isn't usually even financial profit, let alone real profit (this applies in general across most industries in today's economy)

Printing money causes inflation

Climate change causes separate cost of living increase and people also call cost of living increase "inflation"

Monetary inflation + other pressures = what everyday people call inflation

You're saying project 2025 ends in an even bigger false flag than 9/11?

Fixed #grownostr nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqfnv9qmyf05qgf58h9lr40ulz3jm295qwt2uu8g6tweyvelltz8tqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcqyq9nlxm9v6805qezky3ahcr802kzzf4rd9q95w7f5hq48u8z7e7mv4eks58

So that's even more heavily subsidized, doesn't change how far from profitable it is since financial profit and actual profit aren't very strongly correlated

You're supposed to let it finish cooking and eat it. Cowards

But that doesn't explain how it jumped from 1 to 5 to 0 shares and kept an average effort percentage for 0 shares

? 🤔

Loading back up, it briefly said 5 shares found, then went back to 0, but with an average effort of 85%

Wtf is going on? Shit's broken
