pentagon has never passed an audit

true but someone did get it running on like 6 Mac mini, not saying everyday man can run but its way better then billion dollar server farms. open source all the way!

good point on local, as its open S I imagine people are auditing the code but running on your own hardware way to go for privacy ...

could not agree more. even power, we get better at making, transporting, and storing electricity and while its a volatile market if you measure your power bill in dollars it go's up faster then the productivity gains that are deflationary in nature

love more people talking about this. the nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech pocast with jeff B (most recent) is amazing for this !

Jeff what's the best way you have found to start someone on the journey of free market is and should be deflationary. as I recently attempted to explained this to a normie and they couldn't get it they didn't even believe deflation is real (couldn't get past example with tv's getting cheaper) anything other than a TV they were unable to accept deflation over the inflation reality we live in. your book is on order for them any other advice ?

never had tikT but love your content, earned a follow and welcome to NOSTR

If #bitcoin stays decentralized and secure, it is imposing the first global free market the world has ever seen.

Productivity gains flow to broadly to society in free markets through deflation.

Everyone gets richer every year and competition to provide value increases driving a cycle of unprecedented prosperity.

But, if you are pricing #Bitcoin in USD, you are still in the system of extraction and centralization which must centralize faster through the extraction of the productivity gains that should flow to society in the form of lower prices.

The two systems are incompatible!!

And…It is a confusing topic because we have no reference for what a global free market looks like……so many people will get rug pulled (eventually) by not choosing self custody and running nodes. Instead trusting institutions and a paper derivative of their #bitcoin.

Why: because it will appear they are getting wealthy (in USD) Protecting the decentralization and security by running nodes and being constantly vigilant for new attack vectors will seem like a stretch! For most people pressing the easy button in an ETF or other centralized entity will seem like the right thing to do which ensures faster centralizing.

That centralized system of extraction MUST eventually attack Bitcoin or fail.

This may be a long time out. Ie - if I was on the other side of the fight - I would make my system as easy to integrate to bitcoin as possible and use the natural biases of humans against them. Ease of use, trust in institutions, time, etc so they didn’t “need” to worry about self custody and understanding how the protocol works.

Those on building on #Nostr, Bitcoin, Lightning, Ecash and spending their time contributing on this open protocol and teaching others are on the front edge of the greatest change the world has ever seen. From extraction to cooperation.

Stay vigilant, stay focused, run a node, and tune out the madness of the system of extraction trying to drag you back into its centralized structure.

For the opportunity to exist, It had to be this way!

We are so early.

the nat B pod was awesome !

carefull boys let's make sure we KYC and report all of what may or not be a frying pan heat transfer scenario

free Ross hopefully happens today, no tax on trading bitcoin for goods and services as money! vs using it as an asset to accumulate more cuck bucks, even a boomer bureaucrat can see this difference and how it's very very reasonable...

having very basic step by step download instructions for people who are just getting started, I've had a few people on NOSTR and they like the idea but complain its to technical. I understand having the APK link and providing the shaw 256 for app verifier is solid. if some hand holding steps were included with pictures I think more would install and use over google play ...overall love zapstore!

Follow who you want and I find my feed to be quite complete, and without all the programming. It’s growing every day so hopefully we get more creators and more content !
