So, since Olas is now available, the app with the Instagram look, I tested around a bit and wanted to share my not-so-techie experience at this point. I'm especially interested to see the interplay between different clients: Olas, Amethyst and Primal.
Olas has the option of two post types, 'generic' and 'high-quality'. As far as I understand these are different note formats with the latter being optimized for media.
Also Amethyst has the option of posting 'high-quality' media notes under the media tab. The media tab looks quite slick to be honest. These media notes then also appear in Amethyst's media gallery.
Primal, at the time of posting this, doesn't have the option to post or display these new media notes.
Now, if on Olas I post a 'generic post' it appears on Olas (naturally) and on Amethyst and Primal in the normal notes feed.
If I post a 'high-quality' post on Olas it appears on Olas (naturally) and in the media tab as well as your gallery on Amethyst. Not on Primal at this point.
If you post a note under the media tab on Amethyst, it's of the 'high-quality' type and also appears on Olas. Normal note posts on Amethyst or Primal don't appear on Olas.

This is an awesome spot! Where is it? The water fall gives the water a nice energizing structure. And because of the strong flow it must be extra cold ππ»βοΈ
Fixed with the new media-related Amethyst update π
So, this is how videos uploaded and integrated in Primal look on Amethyst? A fishy download link? Ayayay π

I fully agree with you! We'll do our very best then with what we contribute π And be joyful along the way.
Fair enough. From what I can see there's hope in the L2s. And yes, someone has to build this tech and I have deep appreciation for the developers as well ππ» I can't quite follow why most Bitcoiners don't want to see & discuss the risks that you and nostr:npub1lnms53w04qt742qnhxag5d6awy7nz6055flnmjkr6jg39hm86dlq7arrnt laid out here. It may indeed be necessary that holistic freedom groups become politically more active. There's also an increasing consciousness expansion going on that would alter the political playing field completely. It's very hard to predict this positive impact from our current situation & point of view.

This is a picture I took of one of the megalithic gates into the citadel of Mycenae, on the Peloponnese in Greece. Mycenae was a Bronze Age civilization and major Centre of Greek civilization from 1600-1100 BC.
It was the birthplace of two of the heroes of the Trojan War - King Agamemnon and his brother Menelaos.
I won't recommend onchain bitcoin to anyone because of the glaring lack of privacy and anonymity. It's too easy to fuck things up and be ensnared.
Lightning is a non-starter for someone in the position of receiving $2 or $5 (many small payments) while also not having liquidity.
Obviously it also doesn't scale, because either you're opening a new channel with each transaction, or expanding channel capacity (eithet one is an onchain tx, meaning it's neither private/anon or does it scale).
Next comes ecash. I'm not going to be personally liable for the money of everyone I orange pill by running a mint, and I'm not going to recommend a randomint that will one day surely rug them.
For the same reason, I won't recommend a custodial lightning solution either.
Liquid could kinda work, and at least it has confidential transactions.. but software (and hardware, afaik only Jade supports it) support is very lacking.
Lightning works great for people like us (with its many caveats, thr whole network is one giant hot wallet after all). I have channels with obnoxious amounts of usd worth of liquidity that I opened years ago
In case you guys haven't noticed, that's not most people.
Unfortunately I have observed that the vast majority (and that includes even most bitcoiners) don't care and/or don't understand the value of privacy and anonymity.
Bitcoiners at least understand the fiat scam, that's why we're bitcoiners. But most normies in most places don't.
Normies don't get the tech either. It's a bit like the internet, you have a small minority who has any idea how a computer works and how networking works and why you probably shouldn't be running closed-source apps on closed-source systems running in closed-source hardware.. but most people noy only don't care, they brag about not caring.
Until they're hacked (happened to a noob I know recently), and suddenly they understand why they shouldn't have made their entire digital world as secure as their stupid apple login, because now the "hacker" completely owns them. Then they come crying for help, after years of saying they "have nothing to hide". Well, now that person literally has nothing to hide, it was all pwnd π
Anyhow, the point is, I see bitcoin in a bit of a deadend right now unless you're a baller and can put in serious money into it regularly. It's totally unusable in a self-sovereign way for the vast majority of people and I don't see how this is going to change.
That's one half of it. The other half is, damn every single one of you who stubbornly failed to see why privacy WITH anonymity was important (not aimed at you nostr:nprofile1qqs0eac2gh86s9l24qfmnw52xawhz0f3d862yleaetpafygjmanaxlspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzvs8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetnqy28wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mq0uduh3), and who're all so surprised now that the complete lack of priv/anon in bitcoin is being weaponized against it.
Yeah, no shit.
Why do you think they want the mass-surveillance?
To enforce tyrannical laws. DUH.
A totally transparent system gave them that ability ON FUCKING STEROIDS.
Now the chicken are coming home to roost.
And believe me, I take no pleasure in any of this. I'm just another guy trying to live in peace and doing my thing, but all the NGU fanatics and their arrogant ignorance could only result in what's coming.
Anyway, so I recommend #monero to people nowdays for transactions, and when/if they reach a certain point where saving makes sense, and they have by then enough capital, then it's time to talk about swapping xmr for non-kyc btc.
But mark my words, all of this is too much for normies. One day they want to sell those btc like normies (kyc cex) and their accounts will be frozen.
They literally don't understand what fully traceable means. 9 out of 10. It's incredible, I don't know what's between their ears.
Transparent chain. All traceable. By design. It'll get you into trouble, unless you fit in the officially approved Statist box (kyc purchases, all traceable, no "suspicious" transfers, FULL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL).
It's... not hard to get.
There's truth in what you are writing.
For the way forward, have you heard of projects that are concerned with these very issues of Bitcoin privacy, global scalability, and creating an economy based on Bitcoin?
One of them is called 'BitcoinOS' which is to become a protocol for rollups on BTC main chain. The other is called 'Sovryn' which tried its hand on creating non-KYC finance on Rootstock L2 which is merge-mining with BTC main chain. If you are as concerned and interested in the subject as it seems from your text, it may at least be worth checking out if these guys there are up to something.
Yep, forming an expectation, a static image ... and then comparing it with dynamic life reality -> inner conflict, comparison, friction, waste of energy, not present, unhappiness.

The answer is psychological, ultimately spiritual.
It's about being able to handle change. It's about letting go of the need for an authority. It's about having the capacity to going on that journey towards real freedom. To have your trust + worldview shattered, and to face all the responsibility that comes with that path of freedom, isn't easy.
It's about being able to say, I wasn't right, I didn't and I don't know. But I'm ready to go on the journey to find out for myself.
That takes courage, that needs awareness of one's own conditioned behavior patterns.
