What’s up

Trustless Systems vs. Top-Down Control

What makes Bitcoin so powerful is exactly what our current political systems are missing:

a trustless, self-regulating environment.

Bitcoin doesn’t need gatekeepers to decide what’s good or bad, what has value or doesn’t.

It runs on clear, simple rules — enforced by consensus and the fee market.

If a transaction follows the rules and pays the fee, it belongs.

No moral judgment. No authority filtering it. No exceptions.

That’s a huge contrast to the world we live in — where governments get involved in everything,

telling us what’s “safe,” what’s “true,” and what we’re allowed to say or do.

They claim it’s for our own protection.

But what they’re really doing is trying to control the flow of truth, ideas, and behavior.

They treat us like children:

“You can’t be trusted to self-regulate. Let us decide for you.”

But here’s the reality:

What they call “hate speech” only becomes a real crisis when they amplify it — through their media, their platforms, their algorithms.

If left alone, most of it dies out on its own.

Society already knows how to filter what it doesn’t accept.

We do it every day — on the street, in our families, in our communities.

We don’t need a “Ministry of Speech” telling us what words are too dangerous to hear.

Bitcoin was built on the same idea:

Open systems work best when they’re free to self-regulate.

Not when they’re ruled by fear or filtered by someone else’s standards.

So when developers or node operators start acting like authorities — labeling valid transactions as “spam,” deciding what “belongs” on the network,

trying to draw moral lines around Bitcoin — they’re not protecting the protocol.

They’re importing the exact same top-down thinking Bitcoin was designed to escape.

Bitcoin isn’t a moral playground.

It’s a neutral, trustless protocol.

It lets everyone in, even the ones you don’t agree with.

That’s the whole point.

Perhaps pulling live dependencies that are not collectively managed by a single QA team but rather are individually managed by many thousands of people with wildly varying security practices was a bad idea.

1-5% of your income should be the bare minimum we buy in bitcoin every month

Maybe, maybe not. It is a brand new thing I just invented to try to solve a problem I have. I called it a shame list because it fit how I feel about it. Simple shorthand that points me right to the correct cluster of tasks.

If you have a better idea I'm still open to refining. Always forward. Always better.

Are they going to put to death the Charlie Kirk killer before the actual truth comes out? Asking for a friend...

Was it Michael j fox?

The way they loaded Charlie into a SUV was weird. Why not treat him on the spot with medical personnel?? You never move someone like that.. super weird

Pretty compelling

It’s called television programming for a reason.

We'll never actually know.

And that's the whole point.

It's just odd he started changing his views on Israel.

Then less than 30days later he's dead.

Who killed Charlie Kirk?

if im being completely honest…

if Antony Fauci was shot, i wouldn’t celebrate, but i wouldn’t be very upset about it either. So i guess that means im not that much better than other people. The real question becomes what kind of person believes Charlie Kirk was a villain, and Fauci is a hero. And do i ever want to have anything to do with people who think like that?

Do you believe the official line narrative put out by the government about the murder of Charlie Kirk?

The leftists are calling for peace immediately in the aftermath of their own violent assassination of Charlie Kirk.

They say we should not meet violence with violence.

The fact is that police and armies are armed with deadly weapons and trained in violence.

Violence is best met with greater violence.

😂😂😂

My fantasy football team is getting wrecked. Yes, I am a bread and circus enjoooyer.

Does the current os battle for the blockchain end in 2 blockchains with saylor proclaiming his chain is best & end up like the bcashers?

They’re dead, they’ll be weird

Adam Bach doing some heavy lifting driving more Noderunners to Knots. What a Chad. Dont run Knots because because "filter induced latency" LOL COPE OFF THE CHARTS!

Considering filters "don't do anything"..

Not worried at all. I just wish we could get this level of interest in getting rid of the witness discount. But that's a different issue.

Isn’t it funny that instead of random

Data or butt/dick pics the narrative has changed to CSAM ? Ask yourself why ….,it’s to get this kind of emotional outrage style response.

People running his node. People mining on his pool? It’s a grift.

Who said there was an issue ? I’m just commenting on Luke pearl clutching to emotionally manipulate people.

Yeah I know what you mean. We never know what peoples real agendas are, but some have let the mask slip.

They are just this cycle's grifters. They are so obvious and everyone can see through it.

The cope from these super intelligent "Devs" is off the charts LOL so beautiful to watch.
