If we fail to look after others when they need help, who will look after us?

I don’t necessarily disagree. Lyn didn’t say exactly what Napier thinks govt would do so I’m guessing what I think is the most common claim: they co-opt a few entities that control a large (and growing) portion of the UTXO set and either outright seize it, or do something else like a forced fork onto “gov chain”.

Maybe that’s not the angle. But if it is, how does the likes of Nostr combat it effectively?

And if it’s not the govt angle, what would it be?

ETFs/Coinbase and Microstrategy at the present time.

I see how our enhanced abilities to coordinate these days help much in the scenario where a government decides to go after these large blocks of UTXOs controlled by a handful of entities.

anyone using deltachat here?

What precisely is it about improved coordination that negates the financial repression tools which Napier claims will destroy Bitcoin?

I believe we need to make it sufficiently difficult for the government to control large swathes of the UTXO set to avoid what happened to gold, but I don’t quite see how better/faster communication tools help very much there.

That was the main alt, I mean person, I was thinking of. He still owes me a book title.

Not sure, maybe I'm remembering more people than there was. He was a good follow though, if perhaps a tad bit over angry

You and the npubs I came to know a bit through you...all gone 😔😞☹️

So that's what you've been up to

Would love to hear yer thoughts, my daughter is getting interested

Bitcoin == sats in UTXOs

Digital permanency == encoded bytes in UTXOs

For bitcoin it’s early days, but it’s even earlier for digital permanency. As utility of encoded bytes rises, spam will be priced out.

Ah...no. Figured my comment was worthless, but wanted to chime in since hadn't seen u around

Mine are good still. On v1.15

I really appreciate your openness and honesty — and I completely get where you’re coming from. It’s true: most of what the world hears about Iran passes through the lens of Western media, which often frames everything in terms of geopolitics and regime change. But living as an Iranian is very different from consuming Iran through TikTok or headlines.

About the videos you’ve seen: yes, there are women in Tehran malls or crowded spaces who push the boundaries. But that doesn’t mean the regime allows it — it means people resist every day at personal risk. The same women you see without a headscarf in public could be stopped, harassed, fined, or worse the very next minute. What looks “normal” in a clip is often an act of daily defiance.

Regarding “Free Iran” — you’re right, the term is loaded and often co-opted by outside forces with their own agendas. Many Iranians also dislike it when it’s used as a slogan without context. But for us, “free” means something very concrete: being able to live without fear of morality police, without censorship, without executions for protest, without a state that treats our bodies and voices as property. We’re not asking for a copy of the West — we’re asking for dignity, safety, and the ability to shape our own future.

And here’s something important: Iran is not like other Muslim-majority countries. Because of our Persian identity and culture, there’s a deep passion for life — poetry, art, music, even wine. These things are part of who we are, and the regime has spent decades trying (and failing) to erase them. What you see in the people — that hunger for expression — is thousands of years of culture pushing back against authoritarianism.

As for the idea that the regime is “forced” to overreach because of foreign pressure — I understand the argument, but from inside, it doesn’t hold. The scale of repression we live under far exceeds what could be explained by foreign meddling. Torturing protesters, executing minors, imprisoning artists, banning music, and silencing women isn’t just about “defense.” It’s about control. It’s systemic.

And like you said — targeting children, killing protesters, brutalizing women — these things can never be justified as “strategic necessity.” They reveal the true nature of the system.

So yes — foreign powers absolutely meddle in the Middle East, and I reject Western hypocrisy as much as anyone. But the Iranian regime’s brutality is not a reaction — it’s a choice. And the people paying the price are ordinary Iranians who want the same thing every human wants: to live free from fear — and to live fully, with our poetry, our music, and our joy intact.

Like Terence McKenna said: our thoughts and our bodies are a domain free from government control. And that’s the freedom Iranians fight for every day.

Unfamiliar. Looked it up and I was thinking of Slaughterhouse-Five

So it goes... that's a line from a book. Not sure you were aware. Can't place it though

This book you're writing is slow going, but I'm hooked

Libertarian on Earth

Anarchocapitalist on Mars

Agorist on the Internet

Feels like a solid path to me.

i don't want your kyc sats

give me a non kyc invoice to send them back to you with

Yeah it was, just figured I would take a chance of calling it in advance, and really blow your mind if I was lucky enough. Didn't pan out.

Oh. Obviously just to be a nuisance? May be a blessing in disguise to solve these issues before the inevitable waves of new users show up

I'm never more unbearable than when people who did eventually buy in complain they haven't made that much yet.

I keep notes on when I first told people to buy and the price.

A mere 5% gain? Would be a 5x if you had bought when I told you to instead of when the news told you to. One of the many reasons I keep telling you to stop watching the news. And on and on.

What is this pathological delusion amongst US Americans that they deserve to be happy and, moreover, that the universe is working towards that goal ?

Such a belief is not found in any of the world's major religious traditions, nor in philosophical traditions (no, not even in Epicureanism).

It really is bizarre. Not to mention also very tiresome when evangelized.

On the technical side I assume any recent iPhone model, a device cage like the Moment Basecage, and Final Cut Camera and Final Cut Pro for iPad for recording and editing.

Storyline, on the spot, the immense suffering on all sides of a misunderstanding.

Never watched <12 Angry Men>, did watch , and by Lumet, all with at least aspects of genius. I think an excellent inspiration for independent filmmaking.
