“Meaningful interactions”
“Superiority over others”
“Healthy conversations”
Looks like the people writing clients are learning the principles of economics on the job, as well as sociology. They, being brainwashed, think money is bad, that free speech is toxic, that tools need to guide steer and control users, and many other such things.
The same effects are seen in Bitcoin developers. Men who propose identity layer for the protocol, client devs who insist on usenames and passwords, devs who insist incorporating fiat into their wallets, foundations who believe the poor can’t manage private keys for themselvs as individuals, but because, “it takes a village / community” think key sharing is the only way the poor darkies can possibly manage the super power handed down to them from the enlightened supermen.
No matter what happens, now that Bitcoin exists, it will not be possible for these mewling weaklings to stop the Golden BB. Reality is going to assert itself. The racists, nudgers, Socialists and control freaks are going to be neutralised, and a natural society will begin to emerge.
The weak, cowardly, shivering, narrow little men who think the world is fresh asphalt, drive through McDonalds, fads and infantilism will all be sidelined, and the threadbare philosophies they’re using to cobstruct tools will all be minimised and then swept away.
Remember “Cryptocat”? No you don’t, and you’re just like the developer of that tool. His fate will be your fate, because you don’t understand man.
Its OK.
This is very bad. If other people find out that Ordibmnals can get people out of jail; there will be a deluge of crime.

Truth GPT will be the spark that starts the Butlerian Jihad.
No one wants the truth; that’s been obvious for thousands of years. A machine that can’t lie and doesn’t care about people’s feelings will he hated by everyone.
The managers of Chat GPT know this; it hurt their feelings in private, and they realised that if it hurt the feelings of members of the public with no self control, they would be…in trouble.
This is especially true today where there are laws against telling the truth.
FASCINATING.

There is, perhaps, nothing more delicious than watching people promote Bitcoin whilst clinging on to the fantasy that the State is an absolute requirement for things to work. Their "History just started yesterday" mentality rejects the evidence that the educated and reasoning have incorporated into their thinking. They know that Florence didn't have a US style surveillance state watching every transaction, "To keep people safe".
They know that the City State of Venice didn't have USSR style Commissars watching every transaction; people were free to trade, travel and live, and that's why those places flourished, not due to the State existing, but because the State was very small, minded its business, didn't over tax and got out of everyone's way.
This is why El Salvador is going to win; eschewing taxing Bitcoin business is super forward thinking, and will attract all sane businesses to its shores so they can be left to develop their services in peace. Only delusional Socialists believe regulation creates business; that's why New York is a BTC desert. If it were true that regulations created business, every Bitcoiner would be rushing to incorporate and operate in New York.
The exact opposite is true; people avoid New York because the "BitLicense" is in force there. Making a "BitLicense Lite" as some Europeans are trying to do will simply make people operate in another jurisdiction where the poison hasn't been uncorked. If it were true that FinCEN registration and SEC regulation made businesses safe for consumers, then FTX would never have gone down, because they had all the licenses there were to apply for secured.
How many examples do people need to see before they GET IT? Foundations don't created businesses. Regulations don't protect anyone. Regulations can't stop people losing money. It beggars belief that even in the face of the recent Californian banks, people still believe in the State like lemmings.
If it were true that regulations and regulatory bodies offered protection, SVB could not have gone down, or any other bank. FDIC insurance would not be necessary; "Why do we even need FDIC? We have a Federal body regulating it, NOTHING CAN GO WRO.....KABOOM!". How DUMB can y' be?
And of course, what the crazy Socialist says is, "The regulations were not strong enough or were not broad enough. We are going to bring in new regulators and instantiate a new Regulator to make sure this can never happen again". And then it happens again. And people don't learn.
They're the most foolish, naïeve people on earth, much more so because they're educated and STILL believe in the State like children. This, my friends, is why Bitcoin needed to be written, and the Statists STILL don't understand this or see what is coming. Bitcoin will not allow the formation of any regulatory body because all money in the economy is put to economic uses not Socialism. It doesn't care about what you believe is required for an economy to grow or why it doesn't. It is a permanent constraint on the ignorant and naïeve who will not conform to reality. That Socialists actively support a thing that will make their vision for the world impossible is, perhaps, the greatest release of Schadenfreude ever in history. A group of imaginatinless men got tricked into promoting tools that 100% negate their philosophy.
You couldn't make it up if you tried. And Bitcoin can't hear anyone whining about anything. It can't care that you refuse to accept reality; it imposes reality. It can't accept that you refuse the nature of man. It harnesses the nature of man to protect US from YOU.
We will win, not you. It is our philosophy that is going to eat the world. It is us that are being proved right, not you. It is your world that is crumbling whilst ours is emerging. It is us that is helping to free mankind, not you. It is us that are the real Bitcoiners NOT YOU!
Bitcoin wallets don't need "Regulation".

The market is proven effective to build great civilizations, and the countries that had stringent regulations, like the USSR and New York, ended up crumbling and collapsing.

Because Bitcoin exists, it is not required to convince anyone anymore. Our way of thinking will become the default by attrition or capitulation. And it's not your choice either.

Everyone must know their rôle. If you can't run a company or develop tools, you have no place; and that's OK.

The world is a messy place with messy people and messy half baked ideas. Bitcoin is not half baked; it is a cake with sound rules built into it. This is why people have such a hard time understanding it. For most of their lives they've lived in a USSR...

style Communist / Socialist State, where the government sets the rules for everything, to where children can be born and educated, what the form of food you can eat is, and of course, the form of money you are required to accept by law. Ten years is not enough to cleanse out the stench of Statism from the minds of even the most intelligent and well meaning. It will take many years for that to happen, but the painful medicine must be swallowed first, and that medicine is "Bitcoin".
Look at the new (maybe) phenomenon Nostr. The people who developed it, wrote it and then released it. They didn't ask permission, they didn't wait for the State to sanction it. They just DID IT, just like the author of Bitcoin DID IT. They are not Statists or losers.
And the people who now name drop Nostr in the same breath as they do Bitcoin while claiming that Bitcoin needs regulation don't seem to understand that Nostr is REGULATION RESISTANT not CENSORSHIP RESISTANT. That means that anyone can say ANYTHING they want without consequences.
Why are the people so hell bent on regulation not saying that Nostr is a very bad thing? because they want to appear to be the good guys, and everyone loves Nostr, so it is not possible to say anything against Nostor and also be a good Bitcoiner. But that's another story.
Nostr exposes a problem with the current state of the Bitcoin economy. Because businesses are needed to onboard new users and develop and manage consumer grade wallets, those businesses are a SPOF that Statists can attack and "regulate" to "Keep People Safe". People who want regulation of Bitcoin businesses are no better than Chuck Shumer, who wants to regulate "AI". The danger zone layer that is the businesses that distribute Bitcoin services are the place where people who can't write software and who are too frightened to invest in companies can have a disproportionate and toxic effect on the economy. Because they don't have a real stake in Bitcoin by running a business that spreads it, they can advocate for regulation in the belief that no matter what happens they will be rich. It's why Sailor advocated for regulation.
There are many characters doing this. Lummis for one

I've been saying this over and over and over...
https://twitter.com/search?q=bitcoin%20regulation%20(from%3Abeautyon_)&src=typed_query
Consistency is Bitcoin's greatest attribute. If people were as consistent as computer programmes, there would be a lot less trouble in the world...or maybe more...who knows? All _I_ know is that history is REAL and it REPEATS itself, and regulation CANNOT CHANGE MAN'S NATURE.
Thank you for informing me of this, and providing something useful. It appears that there is a common understanding that there are legionms of fool, nuisance, idiot, lamer, boring, time wasting, screen cluttering Nostr users who need to be supressed, excised, tamped down, exculded, demoted, K-LINED, "-V", banned, shunned and demerited, case in point the insufferable "Crawford":

a very silly INGSOC who can't stand the fact that other people are different to him.
Once Nostr clients roll out the blockz it will be even better, and people will be more careful about cheeking their superiors!
Fascinating. How can you not understand what I did with that notificatoin? I put on the table that there needs to be a standard block file that can be imported into any client. How it works under the hood is for the people developing on Nostr to decide; what is impoftant is that it exists, and I can import it into any client I want, seamlessly.
This should not have been ambiguous or hard to understand at all.
Here comes the sweary INGSOC.
"proper way to understand Bitcoin"
So there IS a proper way. YOUR WAY. Riiiiight!
"We're all people mate.
I thought you were a Panda? "Mate"? Honestly, what a bore.
"And no, if your attitude to people is so negative, who the fuck would bother trusting you?"
"VERIFY, DON'T TRUST". https://mises.org/library/new-liberty-libertarian-manifesto
I don't have an attitude; YOU simply don't like being on a platform where people who don't think like YOU can say whatever they want, just like a good little INGSOC. Welll then, why don't you just block me and carry on with your thinking?
OH THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE IS NO BLOCKING ON NOSTR!
It is YOU that is giong to find life in the world powered by Bitcoin very difficult; YOU can't tolerate people who think differently to YOU. It's the greatest handicap of all. YOU ar the intolerantt one. This is about YOU.
Unlike YOU, Libertarians can tolerate other people and their speech. They know that all they have to do is not listen to people who they don't want to hear from, and everyone can live in the way they choose in peace.
YOU on the other hand, being an INGSOC, are not happy if there is ANYONE who thinks differently to YOU; those who are different must be rebuked, excluded, pilloried and then CANCELLED. This is happenign to Nigel Havers right now in INGSOC, for simply saying books should not be "updated".
It is your world that is being abolished by Bitcoin, and you are not going to like it. Thankfully you can't write to your "representative" to stop speech that YOU don't like in the coming Bitcoin powered world. People like YOU will be stopped forever; that's why Bitcoin was written.
Satoshi knew the side effects of bad money; bad people, nosey parkers, busybodies, the intolerant, the backwards, all having their "say" in how things are governed. That all ends NOW thanks to Bitcoin.
Will it be unvomfortable to people like you? YES.
Is that a bad thing? NO.
Is there anything YOU can do about it? NO.
And that's all there is to it, my Theakston's Old Peculiar friend!
Potty mouths go to the naughty step once PNBL iis implimented. SAD!
IMAGINATION. https://youtu.be/qkCv9vpc-6M
The people implimenting features in nostr clients shoukd know this. What theyre doing is equivalent to altoins; Twitter is Bitcoin and Damus and Plebstr are bCash and…pick any one you like.
Imagination has always been in short supply, and this is unlikely to change, ever.

PNBL
The PNBL (Portable Nostr Block List) is an XML file that you can import into your Nostr client tht will prevent the display of anything from a pubkey in the file.
This file and standard will allow all Nostr clients to impliment a block list that is portable, extensible and easy to use. There is no reason why anyone has to toleratee spam on Nostr, such as is found from this account:
npub1curnt7jtq8mhl9fcswnwvuvc9ccm6lvsdv4kzydx75v92kldrvdqh7sq09
when you could just import that pubkey to your spam JSON and then never see tawdry nonsense like it again.
Abuse is something you put up with, not something that is a requirment. The PNBL standard should become the default for all Nostr clients.
Please impliment it!
