Well no actually, he had already been orange pilled when he put BTC on the Tesla balance sheet, then allowed purchases with bitcoin for a short time. Then he got bamboozled by the woke climate control crowd who said it used too much energy and stopped purchases of Tesla via BTC. Then sold a large part of his stack and hasn't changed his policy since. So he understands BTC, just chooses not to support it. NOT good.

Mind you , I'm a Tesla driver so I support Elon, but this is NOT smart on his part. Nor is his support for Doggy shitcoin over bitcoin.

I love Nostr so far. Feels way more alive and real than Twitter.

he’s distracted by many other things

have to be looking in order to find something. if you’re not looking, could be right in front of you and you’ll never see it

it may seem like that to many of us, but I think elon is fighting many other things.

he will find bitcoin when he’s actually looking and ready

this not working will make for a great education vehicle for bitcoin

i have a feeling they’ll iterate through learnings until they land on needing an open, global, cash final, instant, and cheap value transfer protocol that shares in the network effects and economies of scale with the rest of world

Yes.

Only a part of the population sees this differently. Without the social media they didn't know how many there are and some even didn't know how much they hate being trapped in the state matrix. Now it's easy to find likeminded poeople and learn from each other. With bitcoin and nostr there is an infrastructure that cannot be taken down or captured by the state. So it's becomming a powerful force.

That said not everyone will like or care it exists. I was so happy when bitcoin clicked for me, I wanted all of my friends to see the freedom it brings. Only to hit the wall. Very few got it, many don't care and I even had a terrible argument when someone almost attacked me for wanting the state to get much smaller and eventually vanish. It felt like this person turned into the golum guarding his precious ring. Bizare and fortunatelly rare. But oh my I realized how dangerous this can be.

Many just don't want any change, because the system is kinda working for them. Either because they are wealthy or because they are on receiving end of the money redistribution. Some can't imagine a world in which the state plays much smaller role. And they will attack you if you suggest it.

Sadly I don't see it only in the rich countries. The cry for help from the government seems to be universal in the poor countries as well. "I wish the government took better care of me/us" is quite common.

Exactly.

This indoctrination is well over 4 generations old. We have 4 generations of deprogramming to perform.

When is the world going to wake up to bitcoin? Are we they engraved in this legacy system that we are scared to leave? We can leave the old way behind and be better for it #bitcoin #nostr

How have the streams been last years? 💙
