Human nature is fixed.

Give them internets, they use it for porn

Give them Bitcoin, they create altcoins

Give them Nostr they do “gm frenz”

Man always brings his garbage with him wherever he goes; wherever man is, you will find his filth. The dream of Nostr, that it will be some sort of Sesame Street el dorado of free speech is a childish fantasy. It’s wanting man without his nature, which is simply not possible.

The only people realistic about this are the transhumanists, who are just like Nostr people, only more serious, result driven, scientific and realistic. They want to change man through breeding and gene altering so that man is no longer man, but “Man 2.0”. Schwab and his evil acolytes (some of them Bitcoin infiltraitors) are explicitly for this.

Naïve people are very boring and dangerous. While they pick their navel lint with their little toes, literal monsters are trying to reingineer both man and the Earth (Gates and his clot shots, Polio causing vaccines in India, GMO mosquito releases, synthetic meat etc, WEF eat ze bugs and so on).

But everything is OK because…YOU’RE ON NOSTR!

The real problems must be described and faced squarely if you want to solve them, If you don’t want to face them and solve them, well, fine enjoy it.

Why aren’t people insisting that all Nostr users should be KYC’d? No one has a good answer, obviously.

And “Nostranalysys” companies raising hundreds of millions to track who has haircut? Crickets.

Until and unless people stop acting like cattle the problems will persist. That’s a plain fact. https://themonetaryfuture.blogspot.com/2012/04/bitcoin-and-state-asking-permission-to.html?m=0

This is a good question, but I'd like to pose another one; how can I help Bitcoin spread everywhere? If I'm going to talk about Bitcoin, what sort of things should I say, what is effective? How do I measure my effectiveness?

Starting from this position, as a regular person, you can start to get to a place where what you do and say about Bitcoin actually helps get more people using it.

What you should not do is keep doing what you see other people doing, or approving of them. For example, stamping fiat money with "Buy Bitcoin" in red ink. This is the most stupid, infantile nonsense imaginable. Not only is it illegal, but it says nothing about how to actually buy Bitcoin! All it is is self gratifying infantilism. You should avoid anything like this, which is illegal, can't be measured, is sure not to get anyone on to Bitcoin and which if it does anything at all, casts Bitcoiners in the light of complete clueless idiots.

There is something else that simply must be faced; for the vast majority of people, there is literally nothing they can do outside their small circles to help. Everyone can't be POTUS, everyone can't be the hero in the movie. It may be that you can do nothing.

Does this mean you should not try? Obviously not, but you absolutely must incorporate into your thinking the discipline of measuring your effectiveness.

“Perhaps one of the more annoying twitter archetypes is the guy who replies to you with some surface level take some podcast f5g or grifter said in the past year like it’s some kind of revelation or counter to what you’re saying.

You are not smart enough to to have this conversation, go back to jerking off to some midwit e celeb.

I’ve seen this type of guy here way too often for it to be a one off. People are genuinely this unintelligent, and arrogant enough to parrot lines without understanding anything they’re talking about. This is quite literally how leftist movements cascade but now I’m seeing it on the right to a previously unseen extent. Maybe it was always there and I just had too much misplaced faith but to me something has changed.

If we claim victory but this is the cost, what do we gain but our own defeat?

A question that must be asked.”

The future will be planned, developed and run by men and women with guts who build and invest in companies that build the future. This has always been true. Open Source is not a cult or a hat you can wear while you gush on a “Podcast” or hide in a ghetto echo chamber.

History shows that Closed Source Software can dominate because the public has no interest in “Open Source”, and most advocates for it can’t put aside their pride to push companies that refuse to pander to infantilism and nonsense.

Winning in the market means embracing the rules of the market; that means promoting the good guys if you have a voice, not just Virtue Signalling to your audience. It means building companies and serving people, not just talking about it endlessly. Thankfully there are a handful of men and women who understand this and who are making the sacrifices required so that others can claim success for other people’s work.

This is true in Bitcoin obviously. No one cares that it is Open Source, and if a closed source copy comes to market that harms consumers, “CBDCs”, just as Micro$oft dominated, CDBCs will dominate…but don’t feel bad; fanboys will post on Nostr from their Windows laptops that “THE OPEN SAUCE REVOLUTION IS COMING!”.

People who refuse to promote Bitcoin companies but cheer on the names of the tools and philosophies and who refuse to invest in companies are the sort of person you should strive not to be, if you want to see the problems Bitcoin was written to fix get solved. And by the way, those problems can be solved by closed source tools; it’s a safe bet that most of the people drooling over Open Source and requiring it for their tools are not developers and can’t write “Hello World” in C.

SOMEBODY has to be realistic

SOMEBODY has to face the problems head on

SOMEBODY has to take things seriously

SOMEBODY has to stop playing to the peanut gallery

Make sure that somebody is YOU.

Who is it?

“A man has stolen the formula for a novel organic molecule that has widely available precursors, and this organic molecule is “The Cure for Cancer” that’s 100% effective.

He knows it’s real due to who he stole it from…And he decides to redact parts of the formula when he release the cure.”

What famous man am I talking about?

Visions of the future. Easy to extrapolate once you have enough pieces to paint with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BoJxhAhrjA

The inability to grasp scale is one of the more interesting characteristics of Bitcoin Cult members. This also stops them from understanding the size of the fiat problem.

I block 17,199 accounts on X. There is no way that that is the entirety of “Bitcoin Twitter” but this is genuinely what some of them believe. This is because they’re in an echo chamber where all the signals are distorted.

Since all of these accounts are essentially saying exactly the same thing, I only need to follow one of them to get the (dubious) benefit of all of them.

These people also don’t seem to have any people with repeating what other people say over and over, contributing nothing but noise. Do they have a place and rôle to fill? Obviously. Do they need me? Obviously not. Are there accounts that are better than mine? Definitely. Therefore, complaining about being blocked by me is irrational.

I’m not interested in reading the same drivel over and over; it’s a waste of time, and depressing. I curate my experience so that only people with something interesting to say can put it in front of me.

Is it perfect, no. Doest it have to be? No. What it needs to do is feed me, pique my interest and give me at least some hope that there’s a chance the global switch to Bitcoin is going to happen. Low IQ types typing “LETS GOOOOOOOO”…well…work it out for yourself!

There are no “different realities” there is only one reality. It’s like claiming WhatsApp adoption will happen at different rates, “Because Nigerian phone calls are different to Australian phone calls”.

In fact money is more fundamental and universal to life than calls are, so if the utility is there, adoption should be more or less the same everywhere if the playing fills is level (which it clearly isn’t).

What Nigeria and El Salvador both show is that Bitcoin can be used as legal tender and serve the needs of entire countries flawlessly. This is a matter of will now, not specification.

You are a rude an irrelevant they/them; useful only as a foil to demonstrate a class of Bitcoin user. You’ve done you job, now BEGON…uh oh… NOSTR!

And you can tell that they have no interest in spreading Bitcoin around the world. They’re interested only in uniformity of opinion, everyone using the same language, absolute conformity in behaviour and essentially being one with the group.

Thankfully, Bitcoin spreading everywhere doesn’t depend on people playing dress up, “Podcasters”, ugly Americans and other clown show Cult dynamics. The world will be Bitcoinized.

The question is, “who is going to do it?”. People who refuse to take risk won’t do it. Cult Leader speech police who think Bitcoin is about debates on how many satoshis can fit on the head of a pin won’t do it. Memes won’t do it.

If it were the case that the Bitcoin Cult could work to spread Bitcoin, there would already be billions of people using it. But that isn’t even their ambition. All they want is unquestioning compliance to the cult rules; they don’t care about Bitcoin winning; Bitcoin, for them, literally is Twitter (and now Nostr).

These westerners are like the Eloi in “The Time Traveller”; insipid, detached, emotionless, vapid (“stay humble, stack sats”), weak, human cattle. Compare and contrast with Nigerians, operating in a country where the Government is openly hostile to Bitcoin, and yet it is spreading like wildfire there, making it the number two country on earth for Bitcoin.

Nigerians aren’t interested in Bitcoin Memes and other Eloi infantilism, and yet it has spread rapidly. What are they doing there in Jos, Abuja, Kano and other places, and why is Bitcoin so popular there? No one is asking this amongst the Bitcoin Cult…you can pick your own reason why.

And “Bits” not “Sats”!

This is the “everything is nuanced” and “everything is a matter of perspective” doctrine, (Nuance and Perspective Doctrine). If you really believed what you believed was true and were not in a Cult, it wouldn’t matter to you that Wallet of Satoshi works in a way you have been instructed is wrong; you would not be triggered by it, or by people who recommend it.

Instead, in a Pavlovian response, you repeat on trigger, all the things you’ve been trained to say. It looks bad. Like like you’re part of a cult, and so, it’s a fair guess that you’re in a Cult.

Your cult status is very relevant. Being brainwashed is not a positive state of mind, believe it or not. Leave the Bitcoin cult. Embrace Wallet of Satoshi!

Telling the truth isn’t “name calling”. That’s like saying calling an Apple an Apple is “name calling”. If the shoe fits, wear it. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s a duck.

You’re talking like you’re deeply enmeshed in a cult. It’s quite logical therefore, to notice this.

Obviously you don’t believe you’re in a cult. But can you be sure? Please watch “inception”. It may help!

You’re better off without me.

At least you’ve learned something. That’s how it starts!

Thank you for saying this!
