(Verse 1)
In the realm of finance, a revolution began,
A digital currency, the people took a stand,
Bitcoin emerged, a decentralized dream,
Libertarian vision, breaking the regime.
Central banks controlled, printing money at will,
Inflation rampant, causing havoc and ill,
But Satoshi Nakamoto, an anonymous name,
Created a savior, they couldn't tame.
(Chorus)
Bitcoin's rise, breaking the chains,
Libertarian fire, burning in our veins,
A currency of freedom, beyond their control,
Saving the world, it's time to make them fold.
(Verse 2)
Governments and banks, in unholy alliance,
Manipulating wealth, with no compliance,
Fractional reserve, an insidious scheme,
Bitcoin's the answer, the ultimate dream.
Peer-to-peer transactions, no intermediaries,
No central authority, no arbitrary fees,
Blockchain technology, secure and transparent,
Taking power from the elites, they can't prevent.
(Chorus)
Bitcoin's rise, breaking the chains,
Libertarian fire, burning in our veins,
A currency of freedom, beyond their control,
Saving the world, it's time to make them fold.
(Bridge)
Decentralization, the key to our might,
No more censorship, no more financial blight,
Individual sovereignty, it's time to embrace,
The power of Bitcoin, the human race.
(Verse 3)
Governments fear, this new digital gold,
Their control slipping, their secrets unfold,
For the people have spoken, with wallets in hand,
The financial revolution, they can't withstand.
Adoption spreading, across the globe it goes,
Empowering the masses, as liberty grows,
No more bailouts, no more unjust debt,
Bitcoin's the solution, their power to upset.
(Chorus)
Bitcoin's rise, breaking the chains,
Libertarian fire, burning in our veins,
A currency of freedom, beyond their control,
Saving the world, it's time to make them fold.
(Outro)
So let's embrace this revolution, unite as one,
With Bitcoin as our tool, the battle's just begun,
We'll reclaim our financial freedom, break the chains,
Bitcoin saving the world, as liberty reigns.
I was thinking more Mandibles… stolen groceries, houses etc. I heard something last night about teenage crime skyrocketing.
You rock Will! Hold the vision, ignore the whingers. I LOVE Damus. THANK YOU for caring enough to keep building.
Happy to help. Advice is my thing, normally unsolicited but I thought I would try solicited for a change 🤣
Seriously though, hope it helped.

That's like 1 block every 3 mins for half an hour.
Remind me, how often is the difficulty adjustment altered?
I was listening to a pod the other day and they were discussing the difficulty adjustment and I remember thinking it wasn’t as often as I had previously thought it to be.
It depends on how ‘everyone’ assigns value. If ‘value’ is only denominated by culture in monetary terms than education should cost money.
IMHO our most precious human resource is our time/attention, education already costs this. If we value time and wisdom and wise and knowledgeable others are willing to give us this/these for free, than education all ready costs all it needs to cost.
If wise and knowledgeable people are not willing to share time and wisdom without monetary compensation than market forces (not government) will and should dictate the monetary cost of education.
Was he too smartly dressed? 🤣🤣
Just start.
Put it out there on meet up/Nostr/other social media etc
Make it the same day/time each month… for example: 6pm, first Thursday of each month.
Keep it consistent… it doesn’t matter if there are only 2 or 3 of you that show up for the first few months… just keep doing it regardless of numbers, it will grow organically.
Never/ever cancel a meetup, decentralise as quickly as you can so that if you can’t be there, someone else can run it.
Most importantly, just start.
Nonetheless, if lightning doesn’t do the job we hope it will won’t it simply be replaced with an improved L2 as dictated by market forces?
Here, as in, Nostr.
Your beliefs/values appear misaligned.
Are you AI?
I’m sure you meant this as a joke however Attrition of BTC through loss is one of my biggest concern for the long term viability of BTC.
The challenge and difficultly of self custody and risk minimisation.
Third party risk with trust in signing devices that store key information.
Risk of passing custody information along to future generations.
I honestly wonder/worry how much of the current mined BTC will make it to the next generation.
21 million is already more realistically 18 million or less and it’s only been 14yrs. 15% attrition in only 14 short years.
I understand both the advances in self custody tech and the psychology of how we look after something that cost us something vs something that cost us almost nothing. Nonetheless, this concerns me greatly.
Just testing this hypothesis… with Bitcoin as the base layer system, is lightning not simply a L2 service on top? As a service or technology on top of a system, if it proves to be not a satisfactory service over time (aka becomes too centralised) doesn’t that simply open the door for a improved L2 tech to step in and fill the void?
