Inside of you are two wolves.

The one that wants to be lazy and rent-seek.

And the one that wants to beat up that other wolf.

My husband recently observed to me how important conditioning is for people to accept things as normal.

He said that when he first began reading my articles, he was like “Okay but I mean, fiat currency censorship isn’t really *that bad* as you describe”. But then in the years that followed, he was like “oh shit, it actually is. The fact that we have to ask permission to access significant amounts of our own money at banks and say what we will do with it is fucking insane. Why is this normal now?”

In Europe especially but also elsewhere, it’s increasingly common to make cash transactions illegal above a certain threshold value. Above that value, you have to go through centralized, surveilled, corporate/government systems, or you’re doing an illegal transaction.

That seems absolutely insane if introduced out of nowhere, but instead it has been introduced gradually through conditioning and so people are like, “well I don’t use cash anyway so that’s okay I guess, in fact I don’t even know that’s a law now”.

The same is generally true for social media. Filtering communications through centralized pipes is actually a radical position but it’s increasingly the new normal. In fact, the centralization of banking and communications in the hands of the state were two of their ten steps proposed in the Communist Manifesto.

All good mate

NOSTR Relay Runner s Creed

This is my relay. There are many like it but this one is mine.

My relay is my domain. My bastion of sovereignty in cyberspace.

Without my relay I am censorable. Without me my relay is immaterial.

I must learn the basic skills to create and maintain it. If my relay is down it is my responsibility to repair it.

My relay is freedom, the symbol that i control my data and the vehicle through which i control it.

If the claim is true, it would be helpful to include Saylor’s rationale. Maybe he’s got a good point…maybe a point like funding should be through things like opensats and not through corporations.

Because of Saylor? Come on. What influence does he have over one of these big banks. Like, who gives a fuck what he thinks. This sounds like high school drama bullshit.

I remember saylor saying microstrategy would support a dev three years ago. I believe it was on McCormacks pod. I don’t know why anyone would support no strings attached funding to an open source dev. I kinda only want to support devs who I think are good for my bitcoin. And they are not all good.

THIS IS NOT CONTROVERSIAL.

IF PEOPLE STOPPED SIMPING AND ASKED SAYLOR HIS OPINION HE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO NOT SUPPORT OPEN SOURCE DEVS.

HE HAS ACTIVELY KILLED DEALS TO SUPPORT DEVS. HE IS PROUD OF IT. HE IS WRONG AND EVERYONE IS TO AFRAID TO SAY SHIT.

#Bitcoin is the Signal.
