Had to legit stop reading “The Real Anthony Fauci” by Rfk Jr. I was too disgusted and angered.

#Trump, the controlled opposition puppet touts #Bitcoin and now the mockingbird media refers to his stance to use discredit by association tactic that will push the normies away from #BTC. This is the same playbook that they’ve used to discredit Hydroxychloroquine during the #plandemic. nostr:note1kd7xs6tthjf8sa5yvhf4p4pvs4f5cgjvy93cz80dcwkuru4adqnq8yxket

A lot of people seem to see voting for trump as „the lesser of two evils“, wondering what else they can do to protect their bitcoin from regulatory overreach.

But the US isnt „the greatest country in the world“ because of its presidents - if anything, it is *in spite* of them.

The US government consists of more than the presidency. It has a fairly well working judiciary in place, which exists to help the people hold the government accountable and ensure that no laws will be passed infringing on your rights (doesnt always work but often does).

From a legal perspective, the US is a great place for bitcoin due to its laws around free speech and enterprise, which enshrines the use and ownership of bitcoin not just as property, but as a tool for communication.

The problem ergo isnt the politicians. The problem is your own complete political apathy when it comes to anything other than elections.

If you want to protect your bitcoin, stop spending millions of dollars and thousands of hours supporting political candidates who will say anything to get your votes only to drop you like a hot potato once elected. Instead, use that time and money to boycott and organize - its what the system was designed for.

There are enough grounds to sue the US government, private citizens, companies and institutions if the right to own, use or interact with bitcoin was to be infringed, and its how the majority of civil liberties were established.

Ending racial segregation in schools didnt happen by presidential decree - it happend through Brown vs. Board of Education. The right to an attorney: Gideon v Wrainwright. Interracial marriage: Loving v Virginia. Burning of the US flag as speech: Texas v Johnson. Right to abortion (though now overturned): Roe v Wade. Same sex marriage: Obergefell v Hodges. Porn on the internet: ACLU v Reno.

You have rights, and you need to stop thinking that you are powerless without some babbling politician to enforce them. Spend the time and money on grassroots organizing, which is much more in the spirit of bitcoin anway. Politicians hate this trick.

There is a multi millennia digital land grab up for sale at absolute rock bottom prices, and almost nobody understands it. Truly wild to think about.

Nothing Trump says is real.

Why #bitcoin ?

The man!

Is crazy that the words of this man can influence markets so much. Wouldn’t you like to be his friend to know how to “invest” in the fiat markets?

Strawberry season is almost over at the homestead

Been picking strawberries every day for the last three weeks. The strawberries started ripening a couple weeks earlier than last year.

While we started picking earlier than last year the yeilds have been lower. I didn't get a chance to mulch around the strawberries last summer and I think they had a little too much competition.

Our favorite way to eat them this year has been in smoothies with our raw sheep's milk.

The wild strawberries have been more prolific this year than ever. We spread composted horse manure on the pasture where most of them grow last summer which probably has a lot to do with it. I'll have to take that feedback and make sure to give the cultivated varieties more fertility and mulch so we can get some better yeilds again next year. Raspberries are just getting started now, gooseberries after that.

I voted for him in 2016. I didn't vote in 2020 because he pissed me off that year. Piss poor leadership. He didn't get reelected because people like me stayed home. I'm voting for Kennedy this year. Consequences be damned.

It reads "Problems? We can help you with drugs."

I listened to the What Bitcoin Did Saylor podcast, and I really want to respond, though that may be unwise. But I want thoughtful, fearless content in my feed, so I should start making some, right?

Firstly, while analogies can provide useful guide rails for understanding, listening to people *arguing* using analogies makes you stupider. Debate the thing itself, not the words about the thing: it hurts my head to even think about doing this, so I won't.

Let's set my priors first: I assume we're talking about technically solid, well-vetted, backward compatible protocol changes: this is the minimum bar.

I don't wholesale agree with Saylor's "don't threaten anyone's investment" hard limit. This has happened multiple times in the past, from the dust limit breaking SatoshiDice, enabling Lightning threatening miner fees (real or not), and segwit breaking stealth ASICBoost. These interests can, and will, stand up for themselves and will compete against other benefits of changes.

To be explicit: I consider any protocol change which makes block space usage more efficient to be a win!

Obviously Saylor is invested in Bitcoin the asset, and can afford to do all his business onchain in any conceivable scenario. His projection of a Bitcoin world in which there are 100,000 companies and governments who use Bitcoin as the base layer is interesting:

1. This does not need "smart contracts", just signatures. By this model, Bitcoin Script was a mistake.

2. It can work if Bitcoin does not scale and is incredibly expensive to spend and hold. By this model, the consumer hardware wallet industry is a dead-end and needs to pivot to something else (nostr keys, ecash?)

3. You could do this with gold, today? Bitcoin here is simply an incremental, not fundamental, improvement. I think this is suggestive, though: that such a network would not be long-term stable, and very much subject to capture.

4. In this view, Saylor is simply a gold bug with first mover advantage, shilling his bags. That's fine, but it's important to understand people's motivations.

5. This vision does not excite me. I wouldn't have left Linux development to work on making B2B commerce more efficient. I wouldn't get up at 5:30am for spec calls, and I sure as hell wouldn't be working this cheap.

I believe we can make people's UTXOs more powerful, and thus feel a moral responsibility to do so. This gives them more control over their own money, and allows more people to share that control. I assume that more people will do good things than stupid things, because assuming the other way implies that someone should be able to stop them, and that's usually worse.

I believe the result will be a more stable, thus useful, Bitcoin network. I am aware that this will certainly benefit people with very different motivations than me (Saylor).

Thanks for reading, and sorry for the length!

Has anyone found a non-whey based protein powder they like? I’m not vegan but whey seems to really bother my stomach. #grownostr #health #protein
