Nerd, ruby dev, systems theory adversarial thinker/arm chair general, Bitcoin enthusiast, toki pona 🗣👍 and other language barrier breaking methods advocate relays = [ relayable.org, nostr.wine, nostr.milou.lol, paid.spore.ws, nostr.uselessshit.co, nostr-pub.wellorder.net ]

I can't imagine going on the internet and apologizing for touching grass lol.

They trust those watchtowers (random people on the internet) a whole lot

Existence.

To have nothing to overcome, is to suffer from boredom and no sense of purpose.

To have something to overcome, is to suffer overcoming it.

It requires past experiences to develop the wisdom to overcome yourself

Incoherent nonsense on the other hand....maybe not so much

But shitposting is my favorite form of political discussion

I enjoyed the interview. I like that it did manage to only talk about Bitcoin the entire time. These crypto channels normally like to segue into coin this token that after mentioning Bitcoin only briefly.

However, I would stress the importance of avoiding anyone with a bored ape PFP or who uses blockchain, or crypto as mainline buzz words. This is because crypto and Bitcoin have an inappropriate colloquial association with each other. Its the reason some El Salvadorans protest the Bitcoin law, because they think crypto when they hear Bitcoin.

As a South African Bitcoin community leader puts it (Bitcoin Ekasi):

"Today I attended the opening of a new Bitcoin education center in Kumasi, Ghana, in rural Africa.

The village chief spoke during the formalities and he expressed some unexpected skepticism towards the opening of the new center.

He said, and I'm paraphrasing:

'Bitcoin can be good, but it can be dangerous. Bitcoin can be a scam. A business collapsed and people lost millions of dollars. I am not sure you should teach our children about Bitcoin here.'

Of course, the basics of Bitcoin to be taught at this center has nothing to do with the FTX casino and its crypto delinquency.

But this is the reality of its after effects.

This is the unseen and largely unrecognized effect of endless tokens riding on Bitcoin's coattails.

I challenge anyone who argues against Bitcoin Maximalism to step outside their techno bubble.

Step outside that place where a small minority of earth's people live, with a skill that takes years to acquire under the best of circumstances, which enables nuanced differentiation.

Take a trip down to ground level, come see what's being built, and spend time to understand it.

And then tell me Bitcoin Maximalism doesn't make sense.

I am waiting."

So please avoid them. They are a brand risk.

I doubt you need an article on brand risk, but if you want to know how I think of it specifically, I wrote an article on how crypto is a brand risk to companies and people that promote it: https://stacker.news/items/267272/r/nerd2ninja

It is very unfortunate you can't delete nostr posts because you should definitely delete this. Goodness gracious

What? Lol. I'm not criticizing China for being uncreative about their human rights abuses lol I'm just criticizing that they're committing human rights abuses at all

I mean tbf, China is just copying what the US and Europe did in the past, but its just that I see a consensus that the US and Europe weren't the good guys when they did it, and there's no way we can say China is in any way a good guy when they do it.

(Obviously not exactly the same because modern day has technology)

They've already been penetrated and that's why they need a bailout.

At least that's what I heard.

Oftentimes, "internet outages" are just attacks on DNS. Learning how DNS works fixes this.

Also, if you get them on nostr (even with a self hosted strfry server) you could keep talking. Just have them add relays by IP address.

For example, relayble.org is actually 172.96.167.212

Again this assumes its just DNS and not internet routing that's the problem.
