Our central bank lies about value, our platforms lie about truth, and our hearts lie about righteousness. Bitcoin and Nostr fixed two of these problems, but you’re still running from the third because it costs more than attention, it costs everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ nostr:naddr1qqgrwvrzvc6rsdp5vvexvvpcxsenjq3q4hq5lgadtyy9dhvtszq46dnl0s0xwdddqr7e32rdqqhma8a4xhssxpqqqp65wsyduq0

I agree. Unite the middle men. The more I dig into this, the more pissed off I get.

As if they listen to us. lol

I said what I said….

America’s foreign policy is not guided by national interest. It is guided by misplaced loyalty. Every year Washington sends $3.8 billion to Israel with no audit, no debate, and no measurable return. Since 1967 we have inherited their conflicts, their enemies, and their intelligence scandals from the USS Liberty to Pollard.

This blind allegiance is not just political. It is theological. A century of dispensationalist heresy convinced millions that modern Israel holds divine status and that aiding a foreign state is serving God. It is not. It has turned faith into foreign policy and worship into warfare.

This loyalty is also bipartisan. It may be the only issue where both parties still agree. That alone speaks volumes. When the ruling class moves in unison, it means the interest being served is not yours.

The cost has been enormous. American credibility is shattered across the Middle East. Our foreign policy serves ideology instead of interest. Even the Church has traded discernment for devotion to a state.

It is time to end blank check diplomacy and theological delusion. An ally respects sovereignty. A faith rooted in truth does not demand servitude to another nation.

Haha.

Bait set…

Yep. That’s literally the point. The game that was SUPPOSED to critique monopolies became the game that NORMALIZED them.

Haha. I was furious writing this.

This was a great interview. Despite some differences.

We spent decades letting Parker Brothers teach multiple generations that landlording and rent seeking were the paths to wealth. Now someone’s finally making a game that teaches savings, sound money, and actual strategy…

Exactly right

Thanks bro.

Hahaha. Right?

Sanity is watching your government add $2 trillion to the money supply during a supply shock and thinking “this will be fine.” Psychopathy is buying Bitcoin. Got it. Very logical framework.

Love this. Great personal insight. This mindset has bled down from generations and I think it’s become cancerous, among many other things.

Question about Lightning’s security model: #asknostr

If Lightning anchor transactions must be broadcast and confirmed on chain for the hashlock/timelock mechanism to enforce channel state, doesn’t this create an implicit proof of publication requirement?

How do we reconcile the claim that “proof of publication is unnecessary” with the fact that unilateral channel closes require on chain settlement for security guarantees?

Is there a technical distinction between:

1. Requiring txs to be published for hashlock security

2. Requiring txs to be published as explicit proof of publication

They’re not wrong. I genuinely don’t care about the feelings of central bankers, politicians who print money, or financial journalists who’ve been wrong about Bitcoin for 16 consecutive years. Guilty as charged.

It’s either true or it’s not.

This is something I’m working on in long form for an article. Will share soon.

Integration vs Fragmentation

You’re not one person at work, another at home, and someone else online. That’s never been true. You’re always yourself, always a parent if you have kids, always a worker. These aren’t costumes. They’re simultaneous realities.

Yet corporate platforms profit from your fragmentation. Professional persona on LinkedIn. Careful opinions on Twitter under your real name. Actual thoughts on a pseudonym. Creative work on another platform entirely. Each silo extracts value from a different piece of you.

This isn’t strategy. It’s surrender.

Nostr operates differently. One keypair. One sovereign identity. Your work, your thoughts, your relationships, your value creation all flow through the same cryptographic self. Nobody can revoke it. Nobody can ban one version of you while keeping another.

The question isn’t whether you’ll be online. You will be. The question is whether you’ll exist as an integrated human being who owns their digital presence, or as corporate mandated fragments scattered across platforms that see you as inventory.

One path requires courage. The other just requires compliance.

Choose accordingly.

That’s an insightful way to frame it. The “mind body dichotomy” you mention ties closely to how modern economies split value (money) from meaning (purpose). I’d argue that purpose driven work seeks to reunite those two, bringing together mind and body, meaning and material.

When work serves both human fulfillment and fair exchange, money regains its integrity as a reflection of genuine contribution, not manipulation.

Purpose doesn’t reject money; it restores its meaning.

That’s perfect.

For sure. I know my place. I read a lot and gain understanding before asking questions and involving myself. It does require wisdom.

We can be better.

You don’t have to. 😂

This is classic.
