The awesome thing about #bitcoin is that there are.. I don't know how many thousands of people.. who get up every morning and say 'I want to turn this into something awesome.' THAT can't be stopped.

Children freed of the ignorantly founded educational traditions and exposed only to their spontaneously summoned, computer-stored and -distributed outflow of reliable-opinion-purged, experimentally verified data, shall indeed lead society to its happy egress from all misinformedly conceived, fearfully and legally imposed, and physically enforced customs of yesterday.

--Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

🤔 Whose at fault for the sleep disrupting, drunken 4am text: the sender or receiver for not utilizing their phone's do-not-disturb settings?

My response, when asked by a sibling, as to why I plan to systematically disengage from most social media in the coming weeks:

The digital era came on hard and fast. We, more or less, take its presence and role in our lives for granted. But I've been forced to take a long, hard look at my habits and behavior lately--as a matter of survival and sanity--and this change (as inconsequential as it may be seem) is a step I feel is necessary to stave off the potential consequences of blindly adopting technology. Especially the kind designed by companies that clearly do not have our well-being at heart.

At this time, when the world appears to be experiencing an enormous shift, I want to do what little I can to inform and protect myself and those I care about. So I do my due diligence, decide what is best with the information I have, and I act accordingly.

It's surprising to see prominent founders and others from established Lightning co's trashing nostr:npub1n0delesspp5qyp9sd6d4fql9g3s96k7g4yyvfmpdncpp542wvxzqksp427 on Blue Bird in response to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m's tweet.

More importantly, guys, you're showing yourselves to be jealous and petty. Not a good look; not a smart business strategy.

Was an easy solution for including a donation link on my site, from a user's perspective, fwiw.

Well I don't know if this is your flavor, but maybe give this a spin: https://wavlake.com/track/d4cb70ac-e1ec-4e09-a79c-2deb02c59754
