If Elon fakes his way into looking like an elite gamer, what else do you think he’s faked his way into?? 🤔🤔🤔

Dude it blows my mind how even some bitcoiners don’t see this. It’s truly baffling.

And even beyond the tyranny, spending a career in software and seeing just how wrong things can go, the idea that I’d trust that shit with my life is fucking insane.

Anytime a tech company promises their shiny new product will make your life easier or safer, you should be just as suspicious as if it were the government saying that.

“Self driving cars will save lives”

Maybe so, but what freedoms will be restricted to provide this security? Will you really be able to go anywhere you want, whenever??

Yes, exactly, that’s my point. It’s not going to get better, it will only get worse with self driving cars. You’ll have no go zones, curfews, and generally just less freedom as you give more control and data to the cars and the govt.

While I agree, this absolutely won’t happen. Car manufacturers are scraping TONS of data about drivers and leaving it completely unsecured. This has happened multiple times already. And this is just typical customer data they can’t secure, let alone the critical components that do the “self driving”.

Far too many people worship tech and put all their hope and belief in it. It’s a great tool for good, but also for evil.

I really think a #nostr powered electronics company could be super interesting. No extra accounts to sign into, no data tracking, could potentially sync with other media you own, etc.

But most of all, I just want high quality electronics that can’t be later hijacked like this Sonos issue. I can’t imagine spending that much money for them to render it useless with their shit software.

Man I love nostr. So much positivity. I learn something new nearly everyday. If nothing else, the memes are top notch.

Gotta fill up on sats again soon, zapped nearly all my spendable sats 😅

It has completely changed my life. And only one year in.

I’m really starting to wonder if everything about this dude is a fraud. First his alt account is exposed, now this.

And smart people like nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a have said he’s more of a marketer than engineer. I genuinely wonder if he’s the person behind the success of his companies or if there’s something else behind all this.

LOTS of government contracts and incentives got his businesses of the ground 🤔🤔🤔

While I think this is absolutely true, I also think we’re living in an intermediary period. The current system is flailing and trying to find every avenue they can to prevent the new paradigm from taking over.

But, as long as people self custody their bitcoin, they can’t be stopped. And with things like ecash and lightning advancing regularly, the future is bright.
