Over the past couple of years, I've noticed a striking trend whenever I engage with people generally referred to as "GenPub." There's a palpable sense that they have become, for lack of a better term, more ignorant or less informed than they used to be. It's as if something significant has happened, creating a growing divergence in the asymmetry of information. This isn't about me changing the circles I interact with; rather, it seems to be a widespread phenomenon where everyone appears increasingly disconnected from reality.

The world feels like it's getting stranger by the day, and the only signal I can consistently find in this sea of noise is Bitcoin. It stands out as the one thing that remains true and reliable amid all the confusion.

It took me a little while to get into Donnie Darko, but I think it definitely ranks up there as one of the great cult films of the early 2000s. The plane crash scene probably doomed its theatrical release, and it managed to fly under my radar for 23 years. It’s a wild surrealist take on 80s high school misfit life, exploring mental illness, time travel, and multidimensionality, wrapped in an awesome soundtrack.

Anyway, thanks for the recommendations tonight. Now I need to figure out what I’m watching tomorrow.

Those who stack together, stay together.

Divorce is common nowadays.

But I suspect the divorce rate among #bitcoin couples to stay low.

Longterm goals and generational wealth have a sticky effect.

So if you’re other half is not yet orange pilled, tell them your relationship depends on it 😂

#bitcoin is a test of how good of a student you are in life generally. Are you honestly open minded?

Are you ready to admit that after years of education you lack knowledge of important and basic issues?

Are you ready to be humble and accept the fact that #bitcoin might be your lifetime study?

People love to be in "I know and I control this" kinda attitude and mindset. Somehow this bridges with ignorance quite a lot.

Most approach Bitcoin as this simple for them/ that's how it must be projected to masses/ digital money that is not real and a scam most probably. When it turns out that it is a complex issue they turn away.

To try and understand BTC you need to spent a lot of time studying a lot of things at once.

I don't think that comes easy.

That's why not many people understand Satoshi Nakamoto's invention.

I am trying to move over here, Dorsey said how the engagement is so 'empty' on X and I have felt that will all my social media accounts. I have 2 left, an anonymous one on X and an anonymous one NOSTR.

I want to get it down to just here but I struggle. It may be two steps, 1) I still can do snarky replies

2) I will not spend the time for thoughtful, well thought out comments, feedback, criticism, or articles I compile

My engagement analytics are terrible on X but I firmly believe I have better content than the low effort, high engagement 'influencers.'

I am Bitcoin Only and if you post a lot of Bitcoin on here, please let me follow you. I know that isn't what NOSTR is all about but I have a chance to evolve over here.

What I fucking love about #Nostr, is that it’s bringing back the raw energy of what the internet was meant to be.

We’re at a pivotal moment where we can literally rebuild the foundation of the internet the way it was always supposed to be.

With Bitcoin and Nostr, we’ve got the tools, and years of hard-won development in internet protocols, to create something truly decentralized and sophisticated.

the powers that be are going to throw everything they have at this.

They’ll try to crush it by cutting off the fiat rails, coming at us from every angle.

But nostr is a rock-solid base layer, and when you combine it with Bitcoin,

you’re creating a decentralized system for both communication and value exchange.

That’s some seriously powerful shit.

For me, this gives hope,

real hope,

for a future where everyone has a voice to stand up against the forces of communism and centralization.

It’s fucking amazing when you stop and think about it.

About 30 years ago, President Nixon was almost impeached for wire tapping one

I felt better in my 30s than I did in my 20s

I feel better in my 40s than I did in my 30s

I'm going to feel better in my 50s than I felt in my 40s

Feeling old is a state of mind
