Money is one of my hobbies to be honest lol

If you ever thought "The Bitcoin Standard" was pretty good but those rants about modern art distract from the rest of the book, this book is a thinner, simpler, no nonsense iteration of that. Just a simple introduction to Bitcoin and the ideas behind why people like it:

Lol I guess we're doing those AI generated landscapes using profile pictures for the reference image now. nostr:note1fs85ka8hfxa4ef2vj62ehdjkc6g93vf9cvweymdgl5n3yn0cv2rqsejhvh

Constantly figuring out how to jailbreak iOS is a duplication of effort. Time is better spent contributing to graphene OS or other AOSP forks.

Yes. I think you took my note as an endorsement of e-cash for some reason when in reality, it was a bashing of the idea that all digital currencies are consensus networks.

If a government body has consensus on something we don't say that the people being subjugated to its decision as participating in consensus.

It was fud in the sense that it instilled (or could) a sense of fear, uncertainty, &/or doubt about (a shitcoin (& shitcoins at large)).

I didn't say that it was untrue.

This is the comment that has Jack Mallers scratching his head. The argument being made against him is that what he said fits what the acronym FUD stands for. However, as Jack points out, "FUD" has colloquially come to be synonymous with "misinformation". If it didn't mean misinformation, it would be strange to complain about. "Hey you're causing people to fear and doubt this thing" is a complaint someone who wants to control people would make, but "hey this is misinformation" is a much different complaint.

I'd be a fool not to mention once again GiGi's article about "The words we use in Bitcoin": https://dergigi.com/2022/06/27/the-words-we-use-in-bitcoin/ The words we use to describe things matter because the scammers will twist them and present them with wildly different meaning than what we intended. I want to encourage my peers to stop saying FUD. To decry people who use the word FUD to complain about articles and to instead use the word that we actually mean to say: Misinformation or misconstrued.

Precision is the weapon of truth against scammers and FUD has come to be a shitty blunt force descriptor.
