Me. I'm so bullish that it had to pull me back.

thanks! My first one!

Anyone who talks about “fixing the problems” in America (or any country) without talking about fixing the *money* either fundamentally does not understand the root problem (the money is broken) or is willfully misleading you (because they benefit from keeping the money broken).

From my very limited to no education on this, what I've briefly understood, is it's less an issue with the cholesterol itself, and more about how sugar invokes an inflammatory response, triggering damage and then a build up of cholesterol causing blockages.

I am a progressive, American, nonprofit director, vegan, forever student of sociology, man, husband, etc, and I will be the first one to tell you that #Bitcoin does not belong to any one ideology or group. #Bitcoin is for everyone.

Being a #progressive, I talk and think about Bitcoin from that lens/vantage point, which some may resonate with and some may not, just as anyone else can speak on it from their worldview.

Bitcoin is an open, decentralized ledger; money; a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.

It is also permissionless, money for enemies. Bitcoin does not care.

To say #Bitcoin  IS progressive or #Bitcoin  IS right wing, is just as silly as saying the internet is right wing or left wing. The same applies to saying #Bitcoin  doesn’t “align” with progressive values. It’s absurd.

Bitcoin is neutral money. It is software; code. Bitcoin doesn’t care.

Now, where things get interesting is Bitcoin being used as a tool by people for a variety of reasons. Bitcoin does not inherently make someone or some cause good. But Bitcoin can be used for incredible good. For activists seeking censorship resistant money, or energy providers looking for incentives to build out renewable energy to electrify remote villages in Africa. For the worker looking to save their hard earn wages without it losing purchasing power over time, to the small business owner looking to more easily accept global, borderless payments. Good people doing good things with Bitcoin is what is good. It is an upgrade in every way to our current system of fiat and centrally controlled money.

People using Bitcoin and holding their own private keys gives them incredible power not seen perhaps in the history of humanity.

As more and more people from all walks of life learn about Bitcoin, and bring their diverse perspectives, ideologies, and backgrounds, Bitcoin will continue to look like a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Gone are the days of Bitcoin being an anarcho-capitalist pet-project. This global community will build on top of Bitcoin, create businesses, research collectives, write books, create films, podcasts, events, build communities, etc.

Building toward a world where Bitcoin is baked into every aspect of our day-to-day lives, just as the internet is today. Call me crazy, but this game theory has been playing out for just 15 years now, and look where we already are.

Remember, #Bitcoin is for everyone. If you don’t like that, sorry, the permissionless thing comes with the gig 🧡

you own your data (contact list, posts, profile, etc). This is pretty unique, in every other online app the company owns your data and they are just letting you access it until they say you can’t.

your data is portable, it can be stored on your devices and copied to many relays. This effectively makes your online presence unbannable and undeplatformable

you are not just cattle for big tech to sell ads to.

It’s borderless. the protocol integrates the native money of the internet (sats via nostr #zaps) so you can freely transfer value to anyone in the world if you like their post.

Its bridged to other protocols like activitypub so its not isolated to just nostr weirdos

There are 10+ quality clients to choose from if you don’t like the one you first tried. No other social media protocol has this level of client development.

Day 2

I can see the potential, but I need to find my friends if this is going to work

If you're a bitcoiner, please respond to this note so I follow you

It isn't directed at you then. But I'm happy to explain whichever part you don't understand. The note is addressing multiple issues.

Exactly what the note says.

Just say yes to #onlyzaps 🔥 nostr:note1hwzrlm0l7e7y2ww8thh4es7f4petglv0wqft59snhh8s6pywt77s5zhqf9
