Ben, I appreciate the work you do in relation to Bitcoin. However, this incident that you’ve described here on #nostr should have remained private in my opinion. There was no need to make a public apology.
It’s been my observation that those that make these type of public apologies have some sort of public figure identity that is either monetized, or are in some sort of public safety or trust position where their status in the “court of public opinion” needs to remain healthy. You may fit into one of the categories I’ve just described. Acknowledging what I’ve stated, one may also then conclude that your public apology will inevitably lead to one questioning the sincerity of your apology. Many have seen this script before, which is why I believe this incident should have remained private between you and that family you wronged.
We all make mistakes. You allowed your feelings/emotions override your self control. We all should acknowledge our shortcomings, be humble, and make those we break down whole again as best we can. No one else needed to know about this incident outside of your family, the family of that child you wronged and the eyewitnesses.
Lastly to answer your question, I’ve never done something similar to a child, but I have done things where I acted out of sheer emotion. I’ve learned from it and I consider myself better off because of the experience.
Keep moving forward, keep growing, don’t allow certain life experiences you wish you would have acted differently in prevent or slow your progression towards your goals.
#Peace and #Love
In the Bitcoin world, there is no room for cheating or sabotage - everyone is treated equally, and no one can change that.
Besides this, the network produces all types of content that should be looked at more critically by responsible parents.
Parents may want to look into and introduce their children to The Tuttle Twins books and cartoon.
Adults and children can learn a lot of important things not taught in public or private schools.
These networks are poisoning the minds of children and adults. Opt out!
Stop crying about social media platforms that censor your “voice/content”. Just stop using the platform. #nostr
Can you talk a little bit more about the lightning payment failure on @cashapp that you spoke about in your article please.
“If you know anything about making large payments over Lightning, sometimes payment failures occur and need to be retried a few times. A challenge for MOD Bikes has been user error, as a couple of attempted purchases failed from customers using Muun (which is not a real LN wallet) and CashApp (which has amount limits).”
Could you talk a little about nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l and the limits on lightning limits please. What limits did you experience?
