Bullish AF
The fact that Elon Musk's title is "Technoking" and Jack Dorsey's title is "Block Head", speaks volumes.
One is about ego, and one is not. But more importantly we can see the difference in their actions more than titles from there.
Elon wants to build Twitter or the shitty name "X" into the next WeChat, with himself as the leader. He has literally said this. I used to be able to report bots on Twitter easily for many years, but now I have to show a drivers' ID to report someone that copies my persona even as a 600k following paid blue check, and so I don't bother anymore, and therefore bots proliferate. And if you don't pay for reach, you get devalued. Only in the past few months have I had to show my ID to report my countless bot copiers if I want to report them on Twitter/X. And so their rate of removal has decreased. If my Nym differs a bit from my name, well LET'S FILE SOME TPS REPORTS!!!! (which wasn't previously the case). And so as bots proliferate, and as Musk fails to contain bots as he promised he would and bragged about with memes, he will instead reference his own self-created bot problem as a reason to require even more ID requirements and try to build his US version of the Chinese Communist Party WeChat app. This is exactly what governments do. In my professional opinion, after careful consideration, Elon Musk can ::check notes:: politely go fuck himself, and those who worship him should reconsider what exactly they show blind obedience toward.
Meanwhile, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m helps improve the Bitcoin network and the Nostr network and has put capital into them in various ways, and Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader. The fact that Bitcoin and Nostr have no leader, is specifically why Jack puts time and capital into them. He funds many different companies, and for bitcoin, Cash App has been among the networks to incorporate Lightning early. Yes, Cash App deals with domestic compliance issues. But they are trying, and they are early. Their network can connect to many others, like an email provider using SMTP to connect to many others. They're open, they're trying. And now they are making Bitkey, which helps with self custody. They're certainly not a directional enemy of freedom in the way that Twitter/X has been.
Companies that incorporate open networks with various levels of compliance trump companies that purposely don't adopt open networks and instead push new ID requirements, in my book.
+10 Jack
-10 Elon
Any day of the week.
On this aspect of Elon vs @jack It’s clear. Yet if we are taking an NPV of the various aspects of human actions, Elon is a massive positive or?
What’s your holistic take on him, I’d love your thoughts, I admire your mind.
How do I manage who I follow pls?
‘We have it backwards most of the time. We constantly let ideas about the outer world shape our neural networks. But our inner equanimity need not be contingent on external happenings. Circumstances don’t matter, only my state of consciousness matters.
Meditation in Sanskrit means to be free of measurement, free of all comparisons, to be free of all becoming. ‘
From inner worlds, outer worlds.
Striving to live a non-dualistic existence is kinda in stark contrast to this type of activity I’m doing now on here.
I was completely off any social media besides my health apps like strave/apple fitness. But it is social only to the extent that you share stats which are motivating and not time sucking.
I’m so conflicted whether or not just to delete this thing. The idea of nostr and decentralizing the power of the internet is so fascinating and hopeful.

First blush Sam Altman seems like the Anti-Christ. These cucks want to built a moat around AI, like the banking cartel.
nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg how about having feature for me to mute/block anyone who doesn’t have a threshold of sats in attached wallet? Call it a nostr check? nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx loves the ✅

Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
Let’s get rid of likes on nostr.. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg it’s so fucken fiat.
Zaps ⚡️ mean you like it, likes mean you are a button masher.
I have been doing intermittent fasting for a long time and on occasion I do longer term fasts. Generally not more than 36hr because I’m very physically active.
You can buy a keton meter for 30-40 bucks and well worth looking into it.
Spreading the low time preference gospel. Interestingly taking care of your further self, makes the present self feel better t+1. It’s a self fulfilling loop.
How does a regular pleb get on?
The zap is so powerful. ⚡️ have heard it discussed often, agreed with it. Yet when you are on here, using it V4V, skin in game for bad actors, perhaps 250/500k say lock up and lost if you are a bad actor on the platform (not yet, but maybe? nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg ) - it’s just so huge.
I’m so fcken bullish
Sorry didn’t mean to spam you there.
nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg get rid of the ‘likes’ only zaps… ‘likes’ have no skin in the game, such a fiat concept.
Make Zaps the standard.
nostr:npub12ym4gud920vsfrudtuey6xc99aamgxtemfg056sgxgd855u93vpq7m2gc5 fantastic good. Love it, I can’t pay in sats, why? (Not that I actually want to spend sats, rather spend the fiat)
