Suck a bag of dicks

We are all #Satoshi

Let’s just go with that.

If there's a backdoor, sooner or later it will be used by villains to exploit the public users.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE FACEBOOK, TIKTOK, LINKEDIN, OR X BECAUSE IT MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU GOING FORWARD?

THAT IS THE PROBLEM. NOSTR WILL FIX THAT IF WE MAKE IT THE STANDARD.

THE DOMINANT PLATFORMS ARE EFFECTIVELY SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEMS. SURVEILLED, MANIPULATED, AND CONTROLLED BY A SMALL FEW. YOUR LIFE IS IN THEIR HANDS. NOT YOURS.

USE NOSTR. TAKE BACK CONTROL. LIVE FREE.

Wrong. I didn’t say children were hot garbage. I’m referring to your hot take about increasing the population. Don’t get it twisted. Some people want kids. Some people don’t. Simple as that.

My point is that it is NOT a life path many people and that’s totally fine.

Nah. Children are the meaning of life. The end.

I would say I’m upgrading from a 2008 Kia Sedona…but CT is not quite as capable as my Sedona, so it’s not exactly an upgrade. I put a 12 foot ladder in that minivan and closed the hatch. Tesla forgot to put a window you can open between the passenger compartment and bed. The Sedona had seating for 7; CT does 5. I could go over 300 miles in the minivan. 200 is reasonable worry free max for most CT drives, assuming elevation difference isn’t huge.

The CT tows. Sedona does not. CT can handle a heavy load in the bed. Sedona does not. CT can power a small construction site. Sedona does not.

CT can park itself as of a few days ago. And as of 5 minutes ago, my CT supposedly can drive itself now. Sedona does not.

I honestly think CT is over priced and a PITA to own. But as I’m bitcoin rich and took out a dollar denominated loan to buy the CT, I can overlook CT shortcomings…it’s not like I’m actually paying for CT.

Your posts are making me so glad I didn’t buy this thing lol 😂

Darwinism will get a lot of em

I’m not concerned

You know what’s the easiest way to fuck the system?

Minimalism.

Stop buying shit.

It’s that easy…

The more corrupt you are, the more you can be trusted with secrets, the further you can go.

Now do Oprah.

They spray your food with toxic chemicals to make you fat and sick so that they can offer you Ozempic and pills.

You're their guinea pig and their cash cow.

Good morning 🫂

Yesterday night I dreamt I was snogging someone in a shopping trolly. Then we held hands and went for a walk down Piccadilly. We went into Waterstones while I compared our shoe sizes. We were the same shoe size. Dunno how I feel about this.

Last night I dreamt of people performing plays, zombies in offices, good aliens, TFL and going for walks by the river with my family.

My best friend had a dream she went on a picnic and invited all our primary school friends - except me 🥲 I would never go on a dream picnic and not invite her. The betrayal.

Didn't the CIA create Bitcoin? An analysis >>>>>

Although I haven't seen any credible evidence of this, let's just assume for a minute that it was, similar to how the NSA created the Tor network.

The NSA created the Tor network in order to allow operatives to communicate from unfriendly territories without the possiblity of being traced. But, for it to work, enough people had to actually use Tor so that communications could blend in with the crowd to avoid detection.

In order to get people to use it, they had to put it out there in the open. The Tor network is just a piece of open source software that anyone is free to read, analyze, use, fork, copy, and alter. There's no secret sauce. Anyone with the capability of reading computer code can understand the design of the Tor network.

One could draw similar parallels to Bitcoin. The CIA could've created Bitcoin in order to allow funding of programs without touching traditional financial systems of unfriendly countries. But, for it to work, enough people would have to actually use Bitcoin so that transactions could blend in with the crowd to avoid detection.

But, if that were true, then why would they design Bitcoin to have all transactions be publicly visible in a blockchain? To me it seems like they would've designed it similar to other cryptocurrencies, which obfuscates transaction details on the ledger. In short, how does the CIA benefit from having a publicly viewable immutuable leder of their dirty business?

If it were true, why would they design a system that is resistant to censorship? To me it seems like they would've designed it with censorship capabilities, for example with the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which would allow the person with the most of the coin to censor transactions at will. In short, how does the CIA benefit from having a tool that their enemies can also use freely?

If it were true, why would they design a system that incentivizes decentralization? To me it seems like they would've designed it with centralization in mind, enabling them to leverage that into control over the network. For example, wouldn't they prefer to launch Bitcoin as a business using In-Q-Tel (the venture capital arm of the CIA that invested in Facebook early on)? If a single company "owned" the Bitcoin network, this would enable them to leverage more control over the network and future development.

Just like with Tor, Bitcoin is just computer code. It's open source software that anyone in the world is free to read, analyze, use, fork, modify, or do anything they want with it. There is no secret sauce behind Bitcoin. It has been analyzed, studied, and attacked for 15 years by many of the world's top mathemeticians, cryptographers and security researchers. To date, the Bitcoin network has not been broken.

It's clear when studying the source code of Bitcoin that it's design goals were decentralization, transparency & censorship resistance. Why would the CIA design Bitcoin with these design goals?

There's a quote "A sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic.", known as Clarke's Third Law. The technology behind Bitcoin may appear mysterious and magical to non-technical people, but it is grounded in sound mathematical principles and open-source development.

I fully support the motto "Don't trust, verify", and encourage you to perform your own research from first principles. Maybe you do want to go so far as to learn programming to be able to inspect the source code of Bitcoin first hand. But, even if you don't, I would recommend starting with the Bitcoin whitepaper which explains the design of the network. It's only 8 pages long. I've attached the Bitcoin Whitepaper here. I invite you to read it, study it, and join us at our events around the area to come and discuss with others!

Brian will find anyway he can to hurt bitcoin
