I love it how I use a VPN to access everything in the bitcoin world, but whenever I have to interact with my fiat accounts most of the apps don’t work unless I turn it off.

There is no expectation of privacy when using the legacy system.

“Federal prosecutors worry that if they indict Binance, it could cause a run on the exchange similar to the one that befell now bankrupt platform FT, causing consumers to lose their money and potentially spurring a panic in the crypto markets”

I thought they were backed 1:1 and your #bitcoin is SAFU? 😆

Class of 2022 looking around like:

momentum is building, can you feel it?

A steelman argument is the opposite of a strawman argument. It's where you imagine the best possible argument from your opposing side (sometimes even better than they themselves can articulate it), and address that. In other words, you treat your critics like absolutely serious people and try to address any concerns they may have with regards to your outlook.

If someone were to argue that, "yeah bitcoin is cool, but ultimately when push comes to shove the major governments are going to outlaw it, drive it into the black market as a small asset, and issue a replacement that they back as legal tender", what would your steelman argument be?

Similarly, if someone were to argue, "Look how fast they are advancing on superconductors. Quantum computing may come sooner than we think, and threaten Bitcoin's security. That's why I don't buy bitcoins", what would your steelman argument be?

They def took the cake for most annoying shitcoiners 😂

Bitcoin Magazine was started by Vitalik Buterin and Mihai Alisie in May 2012.

They sold to BTC Group in 2015.

Although Vitalik doesn’t work there anymore… it appears his “spirit” haunts the strategic management department to this day.

Richard Heart has been sued by the SEC for securities fraud

I respect that influencers rely on engagement to pay their rent and would rather comply with twitter identity verification rather than abandon the platform for nostr.

That is the problem. The blue checks are captured.

have any of you ditched mobile phone for laptop only?

I uninstalled X. There's no going back. Twitter hasn't felt like home since the conversation and signal moved to Nostr in December 2022. And now with X, it's even more apparent. With the rebrand of Twitter to X showing up on my phone yesterday, it seemed like the right time.

After #MarchOfTwitter, I showed myself that I could leave if I wanted to, but I continued to check out Twitter every few days or weeks, depending on my mood. However, using Twitter has felt like a chore over the last 8 months. I did it out of habit or boredom. It's not fun. I get zero value from it.
