Yes, not everybody is the same and some will adapt faster than others, but how to avoid triggering the emotional connections to a legacy system or belief is a difficult challenge

As for EV questions, sure, always happy to have a good, informed discussion about anything.

I am not an evangelist for EVs to the same degree as I am with Bitcoin, but I do have years of knowledge and study providing me with a reasonably informed opinion.

So for only the second time on NOSTR I got in to the closest thing to a twitter flame war yesterday. It was concerning EVs of which I am knowledgeable in the same way we all understand Bitcoin.

The petrol head gave the same type of very uninformed knee jerk responses to EVs that normies give about Bitcoin and I gave detailed explanations as to why they were misinformed and the statements they were making were untrue.

After a few parrys, the petrol head started degenerating to personal insults. Surprisingly, I didn’t have any issue with this, in fact I felt bad for them, soI took their insults and doubled down on myself to try to make them feel better. Of course this was unthinkable for them and so the exchange ended abruptly.

I felt the same degree of self sovereignty over this subject as I do over Bitcoin, however, after reflecting on the situation, despite convincingly winning every argument, I had not convinced my sparring partner of anything, they fell into the abyss of self loathing and doubt and emotion prevented them from developing their knowledge or understanding.

I now realise the parallels with Bitcoin, we come across as evangelists and extremely smug ones at that, showing our fiat friends how little they have thought or considered the arguments they are proposing. This has the same affect, they don’t see the complexity or depth of what we are explaining, but instead get drawn into their own insecurities and self loathing.

So I was wondering, how we adapt our rhetoric to prevent this path. Is that even possible or does the adage of “you can lead a horse to water” apply and we have to wait for normies to see the path before them.

I wonder if anybody here has evolved thought on this or has found ways to avoid the “monsters from the id”?

It’s amazing how quickly Ai generated images became old and largely uninteresting. You can still produce really cool and fascinating images, but it takes a *Lot* of exploration and prompting to get there, but I’ve always thought the real secret of the tool is in using it to piece together a more complex artwork and composite something with an explicit vision. Not merely typing a prompt and taking the output.

The amount of work the “creator” puts into it will also be reflected in how they treat it. You can still just see the proof of work somehow. 😆🤔

My first bear market was tough because I didn’t know how bad it was going to hurt, my second bear market was tough because I knew exactly how bad it was going to hurt.

Hello world… still new here, primal saw me first 🤪

New stuff. Really enjoyed the Jack Daniel's Rye Barrel strength 💪

I had a fun run-in with the Portugese police a few days ago re Samourai Dev. There's been some updates since from SNDY (I don't know how to link to videos, see Frank Corva/BM). Twatter cross post👇

New info on TDev, or rather more non-info. Portugese Metropolitan Police responded to have no info (this was to be expected).

But here's where it get's interesting. I just called the Policia Judiciaria, and their stonewalling is insane. After identifying myself as a journalist, the officer's tone completely changed. She told me I was not entitled to any information and even refused to give her name. I have never experienced anything like this.

@ Policia Judiciaria: Under Articles 10 and 6(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights, to which your country is a signatory, you are required to inform the press on cases of public interest. In addition, your officers are required to identify themselves on request.

Your agency is thereby not just obstructing the public's right to receive information without interference by public authorities, as well as Mr. Hill's right to transparent judicial proceedings, but also in violation of your own local laws governing identification requirements of public officers. I suggest you get your house in order.

Last night I addressed one of my shortcomings as a father: my 15 y/o daughter finally watched The Matrix.

You do not always need to be in a trade. If you think the market looks bad, go outside. It is nice. Meet some people
