This was with midjourney.

I don't remember the prompt word for word, but it was something like:

Farm technician holding tablet looking at charts on screen with ASIC integrated methane digester in background.

There were two flags after the prompt, I think to tell it it make 4 panels and to use the newest renderer, could be wrong about what those did.

I had it do a pretty decent one, but the fingers were mostly obscured so who knows what they look like behind the tablet.

Ill give you this one, the bitcoin ethos can be lowercase, as long as we don't call it bitcoinism.

GN/GM all, I hope you know where your bitcoin is.

I hope this summary clarifies it. If you use it right, it doesn't sound like a company. The network has a name. And that is Bitcoin.

I forgot to add, you can design for bitcoin. Work on bitcoin. That is the technology, and it's proponents, bitcoiners.

TLDR whatever you do don't capitalize the asset, the plural is bitcoin, and the Bitcoin network is worth fighting for.

It's rude to tell people what to do, isn't that why we are all here anyways?

Disregard calls to not capitalize Bitcoin when referring to the network of nodes and miners which comprise the singular, novel network that it is.

There are many moons, and each planets moon can be referred to as "the moon of x". There is only one moon we refer to as the Moon. One could argue, forks of Bitcoin are "bitcoin networks" (I wouldn't, however).

When we refer to the internet, it is a generic, plural, non-technical form of interconnected networks. In technical writing, the standard has been to capitalize the Internet. APA only in 2019 decided to switch to lowercase, as internet had become a common, generic term.

After Hyperbitcoinization (notice: another proper noun) it may become common to use the lowercase form to refer to Bitcoin. Who knows.

The program Bitcoin Core is capitalized. That's its name.

The monetary asset, bitcoin, is denominated in satoshis, or sats (not to be confused with Satoshi) or sometimes referred to in its plural form, bitcoin (as in "FTX did not hold any bitcoin", or "the block subsidy was 6.25 bitcoin"). Saying bitcoins is dumb (right #[0]?)

You can use bitcoin. You can save bitcoin. Run a bitcoin miner (I admit, I accidently capitalize this one sometimes). Be a bitcoiner (or a Bitcoiner, one who uses the network).

Of course you can do whatever the fuck you want, just know that you're wrong.

I know that bitcoin.design doesn't make this distinction, but it is wrong in this case.

We don't capitalize internet anymore, because it's a common noun in the plural form: many interconnected networks.

There is only one Bitcoin network.

So anyways I was saying...

That ruins all my plans πŸ˜‚ I have got badges set up. Basically you use a browser extension

https://getalby.com/ or

https://github.com/fiatjaf/nos2x

These let you log in securely to web based Nostr services. You then go to badges.page and you can browse and enable your badges.

You can use Kiwi Browser on android to connect with extentions (i use alby) to access badges on mobile android

I do get the sentiment. Sadly, you're probably right.

I worry about those who aren't toxic shitcoiners or fiat bros, but simply don't truly understand Bitcoin and who still want to trust that banks and governments will always be there for them, as they are told to believe.

If 2008 is any indication, these are the people who believed the banks wouldn't pull their home out from under them, to then turn around and be forgiven.

Sad thing is, as fun as the memes and I told you so moments are, I'm not happy anyone is losing money out of this.

I hope what damage occur is as minimized as possible, and that people are able to secure what they can before it is too late.

I hope people learn and wake up to how risky even well marketed coins and protocols can be.

I hope people are reminded of 2008 and the pain they and their parents went through during that crisis, and that financial institutions were responsible then and now.

I hope people actually take time to look at Bitcoin and what sets it apart. I hope we are all there to help them on their journey.
