Man why does my back hurt all the time?

Also me:

gm noostr

Turn on computer

Open 17 different chat apps

I feel like so many are missing the point of decentralized currency. Store of value in fiat means nothing. #escapefiat

If we can use bitcoin to pay for goods and services then we can really start to expand people's limited thinking.

Day 3

I woke up this morning and didn't automatically reach for my phone and start scrolling through my twitter feed.

I didn't realize how much that consistently affected my mood and mindset for the day.

This feels like breaking a severe sugar addiction.

Sometimes I still reach for my phone, searching for the app (now deleted).

Dopamine and outrage is the product.

"Nostr is a great idea but nobody uses it so I'll use Twitter"

"Bitcoin is a great idea but nobody accepts it so I'll use fiat"

Literally identical energy

Have some fucking principles

“X viewed your profile” is an incredibly creepy pattern, especially when you can’t turn it off. Engineers and people building apps have accepted surveillance and abandoned privacy so thoughtlessly. They don’t even consider the negative implications of their actions.

“Wow thanks to all our insanely intrusive in-app spying mechanisms we noticed this drives engagement, let’s do more of that” 🤦‍♂️

Imagine walking into a store and there are 50 different cameras pointed at you from all possible directions monitoring your every move, used to collect data on what sells more products based on every action you make. People would be freaked out.

This is effectly what most apps do today, except the cameras are invisible. This would likely be illegal in meatspace, but few think about it when on their phone. Why would they? They hide it from you. Fuck in-app analytics.

The government is literally stealing your life with taxes and fiat monetary inflation…

As a conservative example:

You start working at 20.

You work until you’re 65.

You pay +/- 33% of your income in taxes.

The government takes 1/3 of your working life…

They have stolen **15 YEARS** of your time, energy, and work.

And for what?

For roads? (LOLOLOL)

For a broken education system?

For a medical system that wants to keep you sick and medicated?

For the military industrial complex which gets rich off foreign forever wars you never agreed to?

And while they are stealing 1/3 of your life, they are PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR, stealing MORE of your time/energy/life force through the destruction of your purchasing power.

The taxes you pay don’t even fund the government; an ever-growing pile of national debt does, fueled by money created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve System. The dollars in your bank account are worth less and less every year, as your purchasing power is systematically destroyed.

I am grateful #Bitcoin exists so I can opt out of this nonsense and save the value of my time and energy.

Anyway, have a beautiful day.
