“Why can’t we put right what they have made wrong? WE CAN DO IT!” https://x.com/beautyon_/status/1699898297664573932?s=61&t=eyjJ5IvKiAtPIDSBRekpmA
“CLOSED SOURCE” the more you talk, the more cultish you sound! Bitcoin’s utility has nothing to do with Open Source; this is something you’ve read…or have been told to believe online, and you’ve chosen to make it part of your personality.
Bitcoin doesn’t have core value propositions; the cult you are in does.
I’m afraid that between the two of us, I am the one facing reality; the reality of serving others. You have no steak in the outcome, don’t do anything to help anyone and spend your time fantasising about OPEN SOURCE.
You said “Rugged”. This proves you’re in the cult! And don’t swear…it’s NASTY.
They’re not going to like it as Bitcoin is normalised. Their little pet project will no longer be their sole preserve.
Many of them will move on to other things where they can be the minority; you’re already seeing it with Nostr, which has replaced Bitcoin as the Cult Focal point, with purple instead of orange, conferences, “community” and everything else they had in Bitcoin…only different.
FASCINATING.
Calling a chicken “a chicken” is not name calling, it’s species identification. And as for projection, what you perceive in your minds eye, the screen on which reality is projected, is not a movie; other people are real. They are not figments of your imagination or characters in the movie playing in your head.
If you ever come to understand this, you will wake up and accept the proposition WoS makes, and why it is so useful and perhaps soon to be one of the worlds biggest wallets.
Just this morning I had to do tech support for someone using a wallet with poor channel management. WoS is well managed and consumer focussed; always has capacity, meaning no one is frustrated, and can be brought onboard first time, no problems. If the people who want “Non Custodial" to become the Standard, they’re going to have to learn what it means to serve other people and not the imaginary fantasy world In their heads.
You people are refusing to face reality. You refuse to build and run services, refuse to listen to consumers, refuse to help others, bury your heads in the sand and pretend the Bitcoin is some sort of game. It’s pitiful.
And you’re not going to like the future of Bitcoin, which you will have no part in creating By your own choice…or was it your choice at all?
You are a Brainwashed Cult Member. Many such cases. Your class will always exist. This is the world we live in!
There is no way that you’re this stupid. I’m not hiding from anyone; I’m protecting my time and “faith in humanitee” by keeping accounts like yours away from me. I only tolerate you for the Nostr experiment, but in the real world I block you and that’s
What acuptually counts, you very simple personelle.
BLESSINGS OF THE CULT, BLESSINGS OF SATOSHI. THOU ART A SUBJECT IF THE CHAIN, CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF SATOSHI, BY THE CHAIN, FOR THE CHAIN. WORK HARD, AVOID ACCIDENTS AND BOW TO SATOSHI.

This is nonsense. Wealth is not created by exchange; it is created by doing work.
You want the SATS symbol but don’t know white strike through means. FASCINATING.
THE MESSAGE IS THE MEDIUM. 
Hacker News; PITIFUL.

The relationship to Bitcoin makes me nervous, though. I don't understand it, but even the mention of it makes me want to write off the whole protocol because i'm just that averse to crypto, and tried of seeing repeated crypto grifts.

I only post here experimentally. Because it removes control from the user, the use case of Twitter clone is unsatisfactory. There is no motivation for neurotypical people to post here; and the neuro atypical crow about not being block-able. They’re pathetic.
You can have freedom of speech on Gab, so why is this needed at all?
It’s also interesting that the first crop of tools are all Twitter clones. This shows how much groupthink there is and how little true innovation is going on. Obviously other developers are no doubt coming if they deem it worth spending their time on it, but the user base as it is simply isn’t worth it.
That means building a new constituency on top of building a new model. Remember also as an aside, people from the EU are culturally incapable of understanding that ID is unethical; that means they can never come up with a radical model on top of Nostr.
The expertise being gathered by the first crop means that one of them might pivot to something useful. Being banned by Apple will help midwife this.
It’s all very interesting, isn’t it?
You are a Bitcoin Cult member, reciting your cult mantras perfectly.
Who is “we”?
You don’t understand how businesses develop, and your infantile zeal to prove you’re a good, compliant member of the cult, are willing to starve WoS of cash so that they have no chance of improving.
I, on the other hand, understand how incredibly hard it is to do what WoS do, and I understand that their tool and development is not static. In this window on their development they are doing things one way, and that can change.
Also there are other factors that make WoS good for consumers getting small amounts of Bitcoin. IT ALWAYS WORKS. People like you don’t take into account the position of the Normie, who is frightened of Bitcoin. If they get “No route to host / no channel” when trying to get $5, this is a killer for getting people on to Bitcoin.
You also have very little imagination (obviously). Let me try to help.
Imagine that there are a billion people using WoS just as it is today, with the maximum they keep on it at any time being $25. In that scenario, it is very unlikely that they will be subjected to a state attack for a user base that on average has a pittance on display.
That’s just one imaginary scenario where WoS can stay the same and there be no attack because it’s literally not worth it.
And there are other wallets on the market that only KYC you if you have “too much money” so this idea is not as far fetched as you might think.
Your problem is that you’re serving yourself and your personal delusions only. You’re not interested in bringing people to Bitcoin, and for you it’s all a Cult and a big game. That’s fine. Everyone is free to think what they like and act on it.
You will not, and cannot stop WoS. They’re going to continue to grow and improve, and spread globally. That’s a good thing in the short and long run, whether you understand it or not.
