China is missing, they ended 2022 with almost 80% according to their own figures šŸ˜‰

It's the acceptance of this state of affairs that should motivate someone to do the work to escape poverty.

Poverty is the absence of work (of any kind).

Why I do not post anymore on Stacker News nostr:npub1jfujw6llhq7wuvu5detycdsq5v5yqf56sgrdq8wlgrryx2a2p09svwm0gx

Background

My last post on SN: https://stacker.news/items/350693

Yes, I was an early stacker on SN from item #166 see my SN bio https://stacker.news/DarthCoin

I am still on top with 619 posts, 13.3k comments, 113 referrals, stacked 2.1M sats and zapping 691k sats. I don’t want to brag about this aspect. I did that just as a proof of work, to show others that if you put effort you can be rewarded. I did that to show all haters and shitcoiners that my voice always speak truth and call out scams in idiocy.

Do not follow me, just to be another influenced sheep, follow my words looking for wisdom and experience that I am sharing with you.

My main focus was on Bitcoin ONLY and trying to educate many noobs with guides about Bitcoin and LN, nodes, economy, sovereignty.

I wasn’t posting on SN to earn sats, I have enough. The sats I received on SN I donate them anyways to people in El Salvador and onboarding more nocoiners (see my SN posts about these kind of actions, as examples).

I saw SN evolving every day, I saw it growing and I tried to maintain it with a good level of information provided.

Yes, many of my views, opinions are quite extreme for many. But are extreme exactly because those people are living inside a bubble and reject to see the reality. My views are literally the pin that explode that bubble and show them the real world. Some are opening their eyes, some are still lost in the new space and some are desperately looking for another bubble to get in, because the real world is so scary for them that is impossible to live in.

The following reasons why I decided to not post anymore on SN:

1. The rewards system on SN became dangerously an ā€œassmilkingā€ system and the founders/maintainers still keep it in place and encourage it.

Yes, it was nice in the beginning to attract more people to post content. But this reward system is flawed: for more you reward – more trash content you get. More trash content – less good discussions you get.

I know, is very hard to maintain that balance between reward good content and remove the trash without censoring.

But the amount of bots, AI content, shitcoineries and garbage makes it almost impossible to have good discussions about things that MATTER. Sometimes you miss good posts just because there’s too much garbage.

2. SN is a good alternative to reddit r/Bitcoin but lately with the new ā€œterritoriesā€ became a new shity reddit. Instead of leaving all the garbage on reddit, SN brings all the garbage from reddit to SN.

SN is far superior to reddit, but it got too high expectations. I don’t know maybe are some other ā€œhigher interestsā€ behind the scenes, some VCs are pushing another agenda, but SN is not anymore that niche platform ā€œBitcoin onlyā€. And is sad to see it how slowly is shitcoinized.

I thought SN will became a kind of new substack too, but it failed. It became just another crap reddit.

Bitcoin needs a STRONG platform to keep high values of Bitcoin maximalism. We are at media war with all the shitcoining garbage and many people still don’t want to see it.

Maximalism = purity and defence against idiocy of shitcoiners.

3. Another particular reason is that I don’t want to became an ā€œinfluencerā€ on SN. My ONLY mission is to speak truth about Bitcoin and Sovereignty. I do not want fame, I do not want sats, I do not want dumb followers.

I want people to read and pay attention to all my words, because each word I said on SN is pure truth and wisdom. Each post and comment I’ve done, have true meanings and you need to read them twice to really understand them. And yes, I didn’t delete any of my posts/comments. Are there for the history of truth.

I consider myself more as a mentor, educator, truth speaker. But meaningless as an individual, just another bitcoiner with more experience.

So I decided to stop posting on SN when I saw that many were considering me as a stupid ā€œinfluencerā€.

And haters had a strong influence on making strong voices to became ā€œinfluencersā€. Is about physics: the reaction to a force will be directly proportional with the energy pushed against. For more hate I got, more popular I became… More hate I got = more toxic I became.

4. As I said in my last post on ā€œSN Saloonā€ , I got tired of speaking truth when almost nobody wants to hear the truth. Yes are few exceptions of stackers on SN that are paying attention to my words. But the majority of stackers are kind of lost in the space and are only looking for engagement and useless discussions and even just assmilking sats (some of them even jus6t for being controversial to me).

If the majority of readers don’t want to hear the truth, why should I bother preaching the truth? As I explained in my old post https://stacker.news/items/277326 I had a mission in this world and I think a part of it (preaching truth on SN) is over.

I wrote over 70 guides about Bitcoin and I think could be a base for any nocoiner to start.

I also have another project to finish – My Citadel. I will keep posting on that Citadel substack once I will have news about.

Closing note: and NO I will not post under ā€œanonā€ on SN, as many think I do. Some ā€œanonā€ comments are trying to impersonate me but will fail pathetically. Nobody can be DarthCoin on SN. So haters and shitcoiners, don’t try to imitate me or even posting lies about me in my absence. I will not answer to any provocation or threats. As I said many times: I never debate with shitcoiners, haters.

Those that are missing me, thank you for your love and appreciation. You will always be in my mind and heart. Don’t worry, you already assimilate my teachings and I am proud of you that you can take my words forward to more people. You can use as many times you want my guides and posts as base for your own way of teachings. I am sure you learned a lot from me.

May The Bitcoin Be With You… ALWAYS

Joining the bandwagon here, but your posts did help me in the past. Thank you, anon - stay free.

People sucked in mainstream medicine will forever deny the fact that nobody can tell them what cancer actually is, but will repeat to death "fighting it". The concept of not-living cells/pathogens attacking the living body is literally the con on which the entire industrialized medical industry is based.

Helth! or "When the solution is the poison killing your body, proudly pretending to help you since the 19th c.!"

An OG mate awaiting gox funds is of the oppinion they will continue stalling returning the sats indefinately as it's a perfect cash cow. The trustee pays hundreds of secretaries and lavish lifestyle with everybody's sats šŸ™„

From the mempool the transaction will eventually* be put inside a new block, transfering the funds to the receiver, which is basically the start of final settlement. No inputs from sender/receiver needed once the transaction is in the mempool.

Once the transaction has been broadcast to the mempool you are free to do whatever.

Any theory should also be falsifiable. I doubt most lay people know that gravity is nowadays not considered at all for any phenomena on earth, i.e. on an earthly scale, but only solar system wide. This basically means it's just another unverifiable idea and has a place only in the fantasy world of theoretical "science"

People have a hard time with their own issues and I guess believe everything else should be taken for granted. Rather troubled - a ~150 year scam is now blindly believed, imagine what nonsense people will believe in a hundred years šŸ˜†

Which nation has been ended by a foss bug? Sounds too dramatic.

All centralized systems are single points of failure. Resilience imo can only be achieved by decentralization, especially for crucial infra. What is the point of a national electricity regulation software except for government crooks to abuse it, errrr sorry, "for it to be hacked by chAina"?
