DriveChans will not be merged.
Who is “we”?
In any case you’ve misread what I said, which is something that happens. I should not have to caveat all my speech for the easily offended, and I assure you I generally don’t!
HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!
Because they have no manners and no clue how much pressure you’re under, what, with App Store bans, Uncle Sham and bugs.
Take heart: YOU ARE GREAT AND I LIVE ZEUS! (For whatever that’s worth).
EXACTLY CORRECT! So, you CAN actually think!
Unfortunately, you’re thinking from inside the Bitcoin Cult Bubble, and are not interested in solving anyone’s problems other than your own.
Features are a spectrum; normal people are not interested in Cult Lingo, “Rugged”, “$5 Wrench” blah blah blah. If you spent time (which Bitcoin Cult members refuse to do) interacting with normal people, and we’re in the business of supplying Lighting to them, you would know why WoS is extraordinary.
But we don’t live in that world. The Bitcoin Cult Echo Chamber is hell bent on making Bitcoin unusable for Consumers, and they don’t have the wherewithal to midwife Hyperbitcoinization alone.
Several products and services are coming however that are dedicated to the new category, “Consumer Bitcoin”, and the landscape will be changed forever after they’ve launched. This is an absolute prerequisite to Hyperbitcoinization, and WoS is a good example of the sort of UX you can and should expect.
Will people still be able to use the tools they love, like Electrum? Of course; but there will be billions that will never use it, and they will all use Bitcoin on other people’s terms, whether you like it or not.
And yes, that’s a good thing!
Why do you need to read what I have to say?
Nostr is fundamentally flawed in this respect…or is it? Only time will tell. It’s very new. One thing is for sure; there are MANY good accounts on Twitter, some better than mine. YOU DON’T NEED ME!
You need to understand English; it’s a notoriously difficult and nuanced language, causing many misunderstandings between fluent speakers and others. I see you have mastered swearing and vulgarity in English, so I guess you’re fine what competent. WELL DONE!
That’s not the argument at all; you’re Straw Manning. Please try harder!
“Centralzed Companies”. Natural Selection; it’s a real thing.
Bitcoin is not a game or an experiment or an American only preserve. Fallacious arguments, bad analogies, illogic, “I’ve been working on this for six years, therefore it must be merged BECAUSE I’M SPECIAL AND YOU’RE STUPID” simply won’t cut it.
Anyone who refuses to prove their code works before adding it to Bitcoin is reckless, selfish and Mind Blind. “If it breaks Bitcoin, we can undo it”, “You don’t have to use it; we can have multiple different clients”….it’s all mentally ill nonsense, spawned by a mind that doesn’t understand that OTHER PEOPLE ARE REAL, and THEY DON’T WANT THEIR MONEY PUT AT RISK FOR YOUR “EXPERIMENT”.
The lack of consideration for others and the money they’re storing on Bitcoin is breathtaking...shocking, actually. And the pattern is clear; privileged parochial Americans think they can use Bitcoin as a personal plaything and its users lab rats in their “Experiment”.
HORRIBLE!
Anti capitalism is anti Bitcoin. Did you know that?
Elon Musk has sold his Bitcoin and will no doubt be using an altcoin, maybe even the explicitly diabolical WorldCoin in Twitter(X).
This scene from the film "Demon Seed" sums it up perfectly...
"Gentlemen, I must ask you to be completely quiet now. Whatever the machine sees or hears in this room, it can never forget. Proteus, this is Dr. Harris. Can you see me?
Yes, I can see you, Dr. Harris.
(Dr. Harris opens book on Chinese Emperor Qin Shihuangdi)
Ah, your favorite emperor. What do you think of this...enigmatic man?
Nothing.
Nothing? Have you no answer?
"Nothing" is the answer. The emperor's business enterprises, his wall building and book burning, are opposite terms in an equation. The net result is exactly zero."
This scene calculating the ultimate value of the rule of Qin Shihuangdi is both the absolute essence and guaranteed ultimate outcome of Elon Musk's enterprises.
His reckless infantilism, refusal to accept the truth, over eagerness to please, ill tempered reactions to being corrected, inability to empathise with others, lack of discernment, inability to grasp scale, refusal to seek the good over his own interests all condemn him to this calculation.
Everything good that he does is counterbalanced by something evil that he does, in this case, rejecting Bitcoin, the solution to the biggest systemic problem facing mankind; the problem of fiat money, to the potential harm of billions of people.
It is entirely wrong to expect one man to change his character and "rescue" the world; the need for heroes is a character flaw many suffer from. That being said, the need for heroes doesn't prevent math from working, and the equation here that sums to zero applies to the affairs of Elon Musk.
And for the record, Bitcoin, Bitcoiners, the billions of people on earth who need sound money and all things like that will continue and thrive without Elon Musk, and WorldCoin, CBDCs, fiat money and every other anti-Bitcoin machination will fail.

If anyone interested in Bitcoin's aims wants Bitcoin to succed, they're going to have to temper their OCD impulses and understand the true nature and severity of threats. There is a never ending list of potential threats both demonstrated and theoretical that can harm people, but the truth of the matter is non linear and related to scale.
Micro$soft Winblows was known to be insecure out of the box for decades. The NSA had encryption keys delivered with every copy of Winblows, sold or pirated. Winblows 10 is the most popular version of Winblows, with over 1 billion active users. That means there are a billion people on an insecure operating system that violates their privacy and their rights.
And yet...
The world keeps spinning. People make use of the Internets. Passwords get stolen, people lose data, but none of it is enough to stop all the systems that rely on Winblows and the users. Everyone is getting their work done, being paid, managing their money and living normal lives.
And this is the key. You can live a normal life if you use Micro$soft Winblows. It doesn't matter that it is imperfect, or that someone can get your password just by hearing you type Blink182 on your keyboard. Security is a good thing, and it is better to be more secure, but it is not the purpose of computers and using them to get work done.
Bering this in mind, what is the utility of spreading fear to ordinary people who are easily frightened and who take the word of experts as gospel? Who does it help to tell people that if they type in their own homes, someone can reconstruct their private writing? What's worse is telling people this and then not offering any answer other than, "BE VERY FRIGHTENED".
This relates directly to Bitcoin, in case you didn't know. If these same people are listened to, no one would ever touch Bitcoin, because they see the world only in terms of threats and negative outcomes that are grossly exaggerated. The vast majority of people will never experience any problem with Bitcoin, just as the vast majority of iPhone users never experience any problems.
Since the iPhone 1, 2.4 billion iPhones have been sold world-wide. This is a staggering number of satisfied customers. Bitcoiners (or at least, people claiming to be Bitcoiners) must think before they open their mouths to spread FUD about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is very safe, just like the iPhone is, and if the tools being used on it are well written and designed, Bitcoin can be very safe; certainly safe enough to change the world.
Part of what's coming with "Consumer Bitcoin is"If you're not already mitigating the risk of someone *hearing* you type your passwords, you should probably start... It always seemed like a probable risk, but now it's confirmed:

Part of what's coming with Consumer Bitcoin is the diminishing of the hysterical, anti-human, deranged and delusional voices that cast the light of fear on Bitcoin, replacing them with Apple style thinking and attitudes which are pro consumer from the bottom up. This change in culture, or more accurately, the replacement of Bitcoin Culture, is going to form an essential part of the mass onboarding. the diminishing of the hysterical, anti-human, deranged and delusional voices that cast the light of fear on Bitcoin, replacing them with Apple style thinking and attitudes which are pro consumer from the bottom up.
