#Nostr Log Day 56:

Learning about bitcoin has been a long, slow process of gathering varying perspectives, application of use case, and gradual education on far more topics than I've ever been thrust into.

A topic of multiplicity and unending maze like pondering. A rebuilding of my understanding of how communication of information, and how the manipulation of such by small groups who maintain power over the systems of information they control, can alter the way we interact and perceive truths.

I can't not look at the way things are in almost every aspect without now seeing it through an alternative lense of fair and open participation. Bound to finite supply. On a ledger available to anyone. With rules optional and unchangeable by any one group.

Possessing the keys to utxo sets that then make me the sole failure point. While not certain I'm on the right train, the benefits outweigh the risk to me.

It's a lonely plane to exist in when nearly no one else around you seems to see it. Or be willing to even entertain such thoughts.

The few I have began to onboard and explain my understandings of to. Who have asked me questions, reinforcing my confidence in my ability to explain such things. Exposing where I need to get a firmer grasp on ideas to better explain.

I look forward to more conversations with those if they allow it.

Yet here on #nostr I find similar minded individuals to be reminded I'm not so alone or purely crazy in my growing conviction in this new system. A welcome reprieve from the monotony of the daily grind so many seem perfectly content with.

Who needs deep philosophical or nuanced bothersome thought these days? I feel like American Idol may have play a significant part in this downturn.

Oh well.

Good day #plebchain.

Ordinals (Inscriptions aka. BRC-20) are a reality of the main chain and the high-fee mempool market, no matter what you think about shitcoins based on the bitcoin protocol.

The Taproot Assets Protocol (formerly Taro) will mitigate the protocol based constraints from on-chain to off-chain to the lightning network.

This Article is a great catch up for what's to come to mainnet very soon:

This week I had the chance to be at the #Bitcoin For Corporations MicroStrategy 2023 Conference, and to experience the launch of their breakthrough #Lightning Platform leveraging instantly settled micropayments superior technology to reward customers, employees, event attendees, or anyone with Bitcoin, incentivizing valuable behaviors and maximizing engagement.

I've also been honored to meet many of the leading Bitcoin voices and builders, beginning of course with Michael Saylor & Cezary Raczko, as well as Preston Pysh, Natalie Brunell, Stephan Livera, Robert Breedlove, Jeff Booth, Lyn Alden, Obi Nwosu, Sharon Dow, Elizabeth Stark, Ryan Gentry, Graham Krizek, Roy Sheinfeld, Noah Herman, Dante Cook, Kaz Bycko, and many more!

Hope this helps!

Yes I see. Unfortunately I can see now. Thank you for showing me this scary place behind the meme scene.

I just created a meme to express my thoughts on that in a few seconds. Here it is. Maybe it will go viral, but for that I should post it without this text context or at least on top of those words.

Attention economy, ya know.

Just straight up. Search through the templates. Slap a few words on. Dunno.

I am amateur. 😅

Really great take. I agree with most of this. I happen to think bitcoin is past the point of no return. It wasn’t always “destined” for success, but, imo, it is now. I don’t think it can be stopped at this point.

Aside from that, I fully agree that there will be unintended, unknown, negative consequences of going to a money that has zero democratic levers.

We live in a society where the disease of hyper-consumerism is infecting everything around us. Human nature, not fiat, is it root. But fiat is fuel to the fire.

When you take away the “securities” and comforts that have been afforded to us via accelerated advancement and highly incentivized investment in anything and everything… I’m concerned about what will be left, and what the new method of self-destruction will be. I have hope, but not any degree of certainty, that things will be less bad overall with bitcoin.

But the human nature problem is not fixed by bitcoin, and some things will be worse.

No fix the money, fix the world then? h/t #[2]

I can see and agree on this view. On the other hand #[6] can do whatever he wants on his Damus app. And another view: Maybe it helps a little bit for new users to sense how their stream could look like if they find other they want to follow.

I was searching global for how to exactly spell the #footster hashtag and fond this image of yours on top of the search feed.

Great to see you here on nostr. PV 🫂
