Is it even possible to install MongoDB?

All have different trade-offs. You guys always forget the normies.

They will use custodians, they will use surveillance tech. So you need to integrate the features also for YOUR protection in the base protocol.

Go back and read some old cypherpunk texts. PGP is there for decades, but normie's still send emails unencrypted. Companies will centralise LN into KYC hubs. Companies will be the fractional reserved custodians for your ecash.

I see value in all those things and still Monero is my default because it works as intended out of the box. It's hard to fuck up something in Monero even as a noob. While even pros in Bitcoin have a hard time understanding what they are doing.

I am not defending any form of state. It's a criminal business. Always was. People who do are criminals themselves.

But why are you still defending Bitcoin's inferior fungibility (a prerequisite for actual money) and its fundamentally flawed approach to privacy a human right that is eradicated at a never seen speed before.

You know that you are endangering people who need bulletproof privacy. Why risk it for a little financial gain?

100K BY HALVING DAY STILL IN PLAY #BITCOIN

I won’t scan my eyeballs for shitcoins.

🚫👀💩🪙

Over a million users

Better Administrative Tools and policies, Can actually prevent spam

Their relays can host media uploads to offload to CDN/S3

Better user experience with the web clients

Blocks and Mutes actually persist!

Server backend actually built better for scaling to a lot of users unlike Nostr relays which are IO heavy.

Better federation

Probably a lot more

Even if you're a fan of Elon Musk and X, here's a reminder that it's still centralized.

Nostr has a deep structural advantage and it's only going to grow in the long term.

Just found this hat while doing some spring cleaning… it’s a sign. #Bitcoin

I'm definitely down to start calling it the halfinning

Govts & large corps both want things framed as though the govt is working for you against them, so that they can get away with their scams.

They want you to cheer the regs that make corps richer at your expense.

The govt, to "protect you" from evil insurance companies, decided to pass the largest healthcare regulatory framework in history which quintupled premiums for me & most others, & also made it possible to fine people who didn't have health insurance. That wasn't govt vs corps, that was govt & corps vs me & you.

The govt funded the creation of covid with tax dollars, required that people get a corp gene therapy jab that was paid for with tax dollars, shut down all mom & pop businesses for a year or more & left large crony corps open. That was govt & corps vs me & you.

Every time the govt does something it makes life more expensive for the average person. Economic history is basically crystal clear on this issue. New laws & regulations are almost always made to favor big business at your expense.

I’m not saying it’s fine, I’m searching for a solution rationally.

Have a good day brotha 🤙

But if you looked at how you’ve structured this post it implies as if we’re fighting the "government."

In this Us vs Them scenario, which is somewhat true, it only escalates conflicts further towards division, it’s a somewhat anarchist take, ultimately the government is us in a sense, if the world was consumed by bad incentive structures, bad power dynamics and unexamined ideologies, what would that government look like? Probably a direct reflection of the people who are in charge today, if we have a solid foundation of hierarchical values things might look a bit different, but I’m personally unsure if a society can properly function without some form of centralised control function or hierarchy, because as humans we unwittingly do it anyway through our evolution.

Freedom can come into conflict with morality, not everyone is a good person, so the natural consequence of this is usually a form of centralised power. It’s full circle. Great post, just reflecting on the complexity of it, it’s hard to find a remedy really.

Spaniards already dedicate more than 75% of their salary to taxes: Indirect taxes, the 69 tax increases this year, and 50% of the salary for social security make Spaniards the people in Europe whose tax pressure has increased the most since 2019. Tax experts already talk about “modern tax slavery”.

Los españoles dedican ya más del 75% de su sueldo a impuestos: Los impuestos indirectos, las 69 subidas del fisco, y el 50% del sueldo para cotizaciones y varios hacen de los españoles el pueblo de europa al que más suben la presión fiscal desde 2019. Expertos fiscales hablan ya de “esclavismo fiscal moderno”
