What subcultures would you like to see migrate to nostr? (Doesn't have to be realistic. Don't say Bitcoiners lol).

communists

nostr is boring without owning them all the time

idk I’d like one fully opensource hardware and software

One day

I have a theory that every place on earth resonates with some substances that alter some brain receptors or neurotransmitters.

For example in Paraguay, it is definitely tereré, in Uruguay it is 🧉. In Czech republic it is 🍺.

You don't have to use them (I don't drink beer for example), but it's quite possible that you get more in sync with the local vibe if you do.

CBDC is coming to EU in October

Shitcoin Reserve!

We want a Bitcoin Reserve!

Can we have a slow clap for how well Monero has performed during the market correction when almost every single altcoin got wrecked?

Why Unpaid and Disenfranchised Skilled Engineers Will Fight Tooth and Nail to Rip Up the Grift Trying to Eat Them

Skilled engineers—particularly those in software, hardware, and infrastructure—are the backbone of modern civilization. Yet, the system treats them like disposable cogs while corporate parasites extract wealth off their backs. This grift—the bureaucratic, rent-seeking, value-extracting class—has overplayed its hand. The backlash won’t just be passive resistance; it will be a full-scale revolt to rewrite the rules of power.

---

1. The System Is Exploiting Engineers Without Rewarding Them

Wages Stagnate While Profits Soar – Engineers build the platforms, the AI models, the financial rails, and the cybersecurity defenses, but it’s the executives and financiers who reap the rewards.

Unpaid Overtime is Expected, Not Appreciated – Crunch culture, unrealistic deadlines, and layoffs despite record profits fuel pure resentment.

Stock Options are a Scam – Engineers are sold a dream of future riches while VCs and executives dump on retail before employees can even exercise their options.

💡 Why Fight? Engineers won’t stay on a sinking ship. They will burn the house down and rebuild from scratch.

---

2. The System Treats Engineers Like Disposable Labor

H-1B Visa Abuse & Offshoring – Companies lobby for more visas and import cheap labor while pretending there's a “shortage.” The goal? Depress wages and dilute bargaining power.

AI and Automation Being Used Against Engineers – Instead of freeing engineers from drudgery, AI is being wielded to justify layoffs and drive down compensation.

Ageism & Burnout Factory – If you’re over 40, you’re “too expensive.” If you’re 25, you’re underpaid, working 80-hour weeks, and being squeezed dry before burnout takes you out.

💡 Why Fight? Engineers are learning the game is rigged and are taking their skills to build a parallel economy outside of corporate control.

---

3. Engineers Hold the Keys to Power

Engineers build the platforms, the codebases, the cryptographic systems, and the automation pipelines. They control the infrastructure of society.

They can refuse to build for parasites.

They can leak corporate secrets (see Snowden, Assange, Uber files).

They can sabotage, fork, and rebuild independently (see OpenAI exodus, Linux, Bitcoin).

💡 Why Fight? They don’t need permission to create alternatives. And when pushed far enough, they will burn the existing system to the ground.

---

4. Bitcoin, Open Source, and Decentralization are the Ultimate Escape Plan

Engineers don’t need corporate overlords to build self-sovereign solutions like Bitcoin and decentralized networks.

Open-source communities already outcompete bloated corporate stacks—from Linux to Bitcoin to federated AI.

Web3, decentralized finance, and Lightning Network payments allow engineers to earn directly, without middlemen.

💡 Why Fight? Because the alternative is slavery to a system that extracts from them while offering nothing in return.

---

5. The Grift Economy is Collapsing – And Engineers Know It

VC Ponzi Schemes (WeWork, Theranos, FTX) are failing because they create no real value.

AI is breaking the illusion – bloated middle managers, DEI bureaucracy, and corporate parasites can’t justify their existence when automation exposes their lack of contribution.

Central Bank Money Printing (Fiat Scam) is being recognized for what it is—an engineered system to extract productivity from workers while rewarding rent-seekers.

💡 Why Fight? Because engineers have the tools, the knowledge, and the sheer fury to rip out the parasites and rebuild a new economy.

---

The Status Quo is Doomed – Engineers Will Go to Any Lengths to Overthrow It

Bitcoin is the escape hatch from fiat oppression.

Self-hosting & open-source are the escape from corporate spyware.

Decentralized AI & federated tech will crush bloated corporate monopolies.

Lightning Network & P2P payments remove middlemen from value transfer.

The system needs engineers—but engineers don’t need the system. And when they realize this at scale, it’s game over.

The Future is Being Rewritten – and the Rent-Seekers Won’t Survive It.

I explained it, you adopt a clearly Western perspective, which is bad faith under the claim of neutrality.

I'll find you a video for sure, as this cannot be put succinctly in one paragraph. Or maybe DYOR 😅.

Yeah, bad faith allover..

Again, if you want truth go read the book I referred to, expose yourself to a new perspective.

FYI, nothing you said above is something I never heard before. I heard it all before, and I reject it all. Maybe there are kernels of truths here and there, but it's absolutely myopic it doesn't show anything but one perspective; the Western perspective. It has nothing to do with ours. So, if your truthful to your claim that you have no horse in this race, expose yourself other people's perspectives.

Yeah yeah yeah.. You expect a non-aggressive approach when you bring your lies and colonialist mentality here, expect nothing less.

Good day..

Trade? What trade? Go read the book I referred you to.

Homesteading? Where? After Israelis kicked out most of the Palestinians? History doesn't start with the white man, you know. Those people were there for millenia, and no European jews belong to Europe, regardless of what you say about the Torah.

Beyond this point, and after reading the cascade of misconceptions you have about Muslims and Palestine, I should stop arguing.

I'll watch your video for laughs.. Maybe I'm a lost cause to you as you are to me. ✌🏼

Thanks for the venting space, have a good day.

What a dupe.....

Man, go read some history from a non-biased non-western source. Yeah, sure accuse the Muslims of bias, but ignore your own western biases. Not our problem, as Arabs, that some British foreign minister promised Jewish people our lands, and not our problem Europeans imposed European Jews on us, and surely it is our absolute right to defend our lands.

Yes, we were at a weak spot. But that's the nature of civilization. Having said that, doesn't give the West the right to impose a colonialist project on us.

Bible, Torah, or Quran... None of these has anything to do with rights to the land. The right to the land belongs to those who live in it. And in 1917, when Balfour gave is wicked declaration, only 3% of the population were jews; Arab jews mostly at that.

To be sure, the relegiosity of the claim to the land seem to be unique to the Old Testament and maybe the New Testament; I haven't read them fully. The Quran doesn't say anything about Palestine belonging to anyone in particular. It says however that the owners of the land have the right to defend; in coherence to UN rules and much-touted Rules Based Order.

Now, answer me this, why on earth do Israelis have "the right to defend themselves" as an occupier, a century long aggressor, but the occupied people do not share the same right even though, in reality, they are the ones actually defending themselves?

Here is a good start: read the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe, an Israeli who taught at the Hebrew University (if I'm not mistaken).
