Unpopular opinion of the day:
Yes, what happened today with the #Windows infrastructure crash could also happen to #Bitcoin.
Follow me in my reasoning.
I see a lot of people criticizing centralization of the service for today’s crash. In part this is true, for sure.
In fact, Windows and #Crowdstrike are centralized services, and many corporations, banks and so on use their services.
However, do you think that it so different than >80% of people running Bitcoin Core on their nodes? What would happen if Bitcoin Core had a super bug that crashed the entire system?
Of course, the network would not die, as not all the services in the world died today, since they run on other services.
It was not (only) the centralization, but the haste and the carelessness of the release that led to today’s event.
I think there is a huge lesson here, for us bitcoiners: think twice before updating your nodes, think twice when people try to push hasty updates to the Bitcoin code, think twice because bugs exist and can jeopardize the functioning of our beloved protocol.
Thank you for reading through my rant.

Of course, I agree on that. However, is the parroting that annoys me.
Reading the very same things everytime, without the slightest thinking behind is something that bothers me in the end, because it underlines that we are no better.
Unpopular opinion:
Many participants in the Bitcoin community (myself included, probably) like to see themselves as great critical thinkers.
The reality is that they (we) sometimes are just contrarians and take opinions from “Bitcoin influencers” as the truth.
Thus, instead of thinking with our own minds we just take whatever is different from the mainstream thought as the inalienable truth.
We should not be parroting what other say. We must be thinking critically on every aspect, every decision and every opinion.
Otherwise we are just no better than the bots and NPCs.

“We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us #privacy out of their beneficence”.
Still, you think that #Bitcoin needs #Trump.
Wake up, anon.
It always bothers me a lot that the most beautiful villas in my hometown are government-owned.
They weee built by private citizens and lords, now they are the headquarters of political institutions.
Politics in not worthy of such a beauty.

The financial system is currently used as a weapon.
That’s why people need to study #Bitcoin.
The state is doing its thing, humiliating a journalist for his work.
Let’s help him.

Normie-land does not understand the importance of the fight for the freedom of Julian #Assange.
People think that the injustice that was perpetrated against him would never happen to them. No, they respect all the rules, they do not “steal” information from a government, why should they suffer this?
However, a person is as free as the least free person in his nations/state/region.
Think about it, my dear normie: are you sure that the weapons used against Assange will never be used against you?
In the meantime, let’s celebrate the release of a Giant!

Same happened to me since I started my photography journey. Wherever I go, “my photography eye” tickles and makes me see things in a different way :)
A typical Bedouin dance: a boy playing with fire. The dance was performed at night in the desert, creating a sense of awe and fascination.
