Just imagine this. Azteco distribution reaches 628,000,000 users, 240,000,000 on Razer. A Nostr app does an integration with Azteco to ingest its vouchers; all those users are now potential users of those apps if promotion is done to pour those new users on to them.

It’s an interesting proposition. To make it happen, the apps have to be in the App Stores and an ingesting integration done with Azteco, similar to the one we did with Bitkey (for on-chain) and other wallets, some of which are out of the box and integration free if LNURL is deployed in the App.

This means that literally hundreds of millions of users RIGHT NOW could redeem Azteco vouchers into these apps, For Great Justice.

Isn’t that special?

This is just silly. The only thing that needs to be understood is the need for bitcoin, which everyone has. Saying that people have to understand the philosophy behind a tool before they can use a tool is part of ā€œthe problemā€.

We’re totally open to it. Bitcoin can and should be used for anything and everything, no one is excluded; free to all who pay, pay pay it all back ( do you see what I did there?).

All they have to do is contact us, and we can do an integration with them where users can redeem our Lightning Vouchers or even buy them if they have a payment processor.

You should ignore me and carry on building. Building is the only thing that matters; not what people say.

If you’re right, everything will change and everyone will benefit; that’s the only true measure when discussing supplanting the censorious and State restricted ā€œapp storesā€.

You don’t need my or anyone else to approve of what you’re doing; your running software is vindication in itself, and your service being run by hundreds of millions of people, icing on the cake.

Don’t be dissuaded by anyone, don’t be discouraged, put off or made to doubt what you’re building. Plan carefully, address reality directly, comb your assumptions regularly.

Your work is needed, you are appreciated; you are the hero in the story. You chose to do the hard work, and that’s the act of a hero.

NEVER GIVE UP!

why ?

Capital ā€œwā€ at beginning of sentence, no space between the question mark and last word.

Listen to my last words, anywhere!

Listen all you boards, governments, syndicates, nations of the world,

And you, powers behind what filth deals consummated in what lavatory…

To take what is not yours,

To sell out your sons forever.

To sell the ground from unborn feet

forever.

Are these the words of the all powerful boards, syndicates,

of the earth?

The great banking families, French, English, American,

squeezing the air.

You want Hassan Sabbah to explain that, to tidy that up.

You have the wrong name and the wrong number.

for this you have sold your sons forever?

the ground from unborn feet forever

And you want the name of Hassan Sabbah on your filth deals

To sell out the unborn?

I rub out all the formulaes and directives of the Elders of Minraud forever

I rub out the word ā€œforeverā€.

What am I doing over here with the workers, the gooks, the apes, the

dogs, the errand boys, the human animals?

Why don’t I come over with the board, and drink coca-cola and make it?

Explain how the blood, and bones, and brains of a hundred million

more or less gooks went down the drain in green piss…so you on the boards could use bodies, and minds, and souls that were not yours, are not yours, and never will be yours.

You have the wrong name and the wrong number, Mr. Luce Getty Lee Rockefeller

Don’t let them see us, don’t tell them what we are doing.

Not the cancer deal with the Venusians, not the green deal - don’t let that out, disaster, unimaginable disaster.

These things take time, and that’s my business

Crab men, Tape-worms, Intestinal parasites… Like Burroughs, that proud American name?

Proud of what exactly?

Would you all like to see exactly what Burroughs has to be proud of?

The Mayan Caper, the Centipede Hype, the Short-time racket, the Heavy-metal gimmick?

All right, Mister Burroughs, who bears my name and my words bear it all the way for all to see,

in Times Square, in Piccadilly, Place de la Concorde

Play it all, play it all, play it all back.

Pay it all, pay it all, pay it alllll back.

Unbelievable.

Two groups are now reinventing email, Elon and Nostr.

You’ve got to be kidding.

When most people got online through AOL or Compuserve, ā€œThe Internetā€ meant those services.

In 2024, people think Bitcoin is Coinbase. If you know your history, you know what’s coming next.

The Economist: Trash as usual.

The Economist is staffed by imbecile liars who can't face the truth. Bitcoin exists through the thought and work of the lofty idealists who wrote it and work with it, and liars at the Economist, who can't even put their names to their own words don't understand those ideals even in the abstract.

We know that they're wrong because we're working on Azteco, which will fulfill the lofty goals of b(B)itcoin. And the fact that they use the word "crypto" shows straight away that they're pig ignorant imbeciles.

There is no such thing as "crypto" or "digital assets" and there is less hyperbole now because the future predicted by me and others is coming to pass, and is just normal and not speculation. This has nothing to do with "investors" whose investments mean nothing without the complete fulfillment of our predictions; chiefly that bitcoin becomes money at every scale.

Bitcoiners don't wear Patagonia gilets either; its Barbour shooting jackets, lads. What a bunch of idiots they are. They're why Britain is FAILING and will continue to FAIL, and they will deserve everything they get; RELEGATION to HISTORY'S LOSERS and YESTERDAY'S MEN.

P.S. Someone sent me this, and so you have to read it now, and my reply to them. Aren't you special?

"The browser wars teach us something crucial about business today: Innovation isn't just about technology."

This is a lesson that has yet to penetrate bitcoin. Innovation is not just about technology or threat modeling; it's about serving people.

Software and technology (two separate things) are there to serve people, not to exist in absentia of people.

Bitcoin's underlying innovations must be abstracted and humanized in the same way that Netscape humanized the World Wide Web, which previously was accessed by tools like the CERN browsers.

Thinking that bitcoin is "an asset" or "digital gold" is like believing the World Wide Web is "A Global Digital Library", and it's the same class of people making this miscategorization, in a field that has the same or greater potential to change everything.

Imagine trying to imagine Twitter, or Flickr or Signal or WhatsApp or the iPhone...or bitcoin in the early days of the web.

It's literally impossible, and for most, unthinkable.

So many innovations have been compounding on each other, where we are today would be literally incomprehensible to a man in the 1990s using a text based browser to search an HTML document.

The same thing is happening with bitcoin. The future of bitcoin is incomprehensible to the normal man, even people immersed in software as a service and "Tech", because bitcoin touches something fundamental to their lives:

Money.

And because a very large, very complex software and hardware infrastructure is now in place the rate of change of innovation is much faster than it was in the 1990s and the bottom of the column in the pillar of innovators is very wide, with many innovators working at every scale.

In a situation like this, innovations can emerge very rapidly, and if the conditions are right, spread globally at light speed.

Sadly, many people "in the space" are of limited imagination and threadbare in their knowledge of the history of the Internets, crippling their expectations and making it almost impossible to spot the next big thing before everyone else is talking about it and it's too embarrassing for them to admit they still, "don't get it".

Because the base of the pillar is so wide and powerful, these ignorant people cannot stop what's coming next, and key to this is the Open Source software movement and ecosystem, removing the licensing woes and barriers that used to plague software companies.

Did you know that an evil company had the "Patent" for, "The other person is typing"? If you wanted to use that feature in your software, having written it yourself, you could be sued by that company and it's evil founder.

I'll leave you to guess who it was...but I digress...

Bitcoin has a long way to go, and if you listen to the Wall Street Wonks to get your contextualization of it, you will be a loser.

And no one wants that...do they?

ā€œIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.ā€

INGSOC: its smell can be smelled even over Internets. Skunk in profile…well, at least you’re warning everyone in advance.

BURN THE INCENSE, SPRAY THE PERFUMES, THE AIR IS BEFOULED.

But seriously…why bother?

I don't think this is fair, but maybe the people you are talking about are more lazy than me.

Firstly, I always go for the non-custodial wallet at first if I can. I don't have time to wait for you to sign up for an exchange and wait 48h due to regulations.

But the problem is that most people would rather jump to the "where do I go to buy it myself?". They don't want to sit with you, they want some homework that they may or may not do and walk away.

The other thing is what do you recommend? I would personally recommend robosats for starters and bisq for larger buyers, but it is always disheartening to see people behave like any small extra steps they need to take is too much, while if a regulated company asks for their first born, they'll happily ask where to sign.

How much of the risks do you explain? You should never mention bitcoin in the reference when sending cash to another peer. Worst case, you get yours and your peer's accounts closed. That is scary AF.

In the UK, robosats is super unpopular, but in the EU it's great. So if you have Wise or Revolut, its easy to get you on KYC-free bitcoin, but if not, its not so easy and then you get questions like "why am I doing things that are controversial here?"

As simple as it sounds to show someone to use the objectively most frictionless way to buy bitcoin, it is subjectively more friction for most people and you find yourself trying to radicalise this person in order to convince them that giving away your personal and private information is not frictionless and using anonymising tools is a reusable skill that is hollistically much more frictionless.

I knew you were from INGSOC when you used the word ā€œfairā€.

I recommend azte.co since you can buy it essentially instantly and it’s private. Most of the people on earth are not westerners with thousands to spend on bitcoin in the hopes that it will go up. There are billions of people who all use mobile phones and who need bitcoin just like Geordies do.

Very soon, buying bitcoin will not be controversial at all; just like buying a bottle of Guiness. This time can’t come too quickly, so that the constant withering service permuting and other guff that has plagued bitcoin since the early forums where people competed to see how many services they could chain together to buy bitcoin were ā€œa thingā€.

The best time to be in bitcoin is now. This has always been true, just like the best time to have money is always now. When people wake up to this and stop thinking about bitcoin like its a special thing, we will have all crossed the Rubicon with red capes on.

SPQR!
