I've actually decided tonight to give up on #nostr I guess it's a 'it's not you it's me' moment. I mean I've genuinely tried and given it plenty of time. Sure I've probably made mistakes or maybe just have a shit personality I guess. Either way I've never found my people or friends or even had any good two way exchanges in depth on a topic.
I wish the project well as I love the concept (just couldn't make it work for me). Peace.
According to Blockstream researcher Andrew Poelstra, the threats are overstated and the benefits are much greater than any CURRENTLY FORESEEABLE drawback(s). nostr:note1cqpd6s8rwftgpx08ppas0cmf5uhts8wh8e46kgqq77k4zyupqkzs8zhccl
🇺🇸 Paying for a sandwich in California 🥪
#Plebs #Nostr https://video.nostr.build/b58eb0217dffa15ea28d3bb6bf2140bc0bf755c95e8b9645ab3266498767fb8d.mp4
Sandwiches are 12 sats.
Just saying.
I guess that's one man's opinion. Respect your right to it.
I would just say this:
1. Elon does not understand money at all so he is welcomed to fuck around and find out.
2. Jack Dorsey lost control of Twitter well before he exited as CEO. He learnt some painful lessons.
3. Bitcoin cannot fight for privacy from the base layer of the protocol. The strategy on that front is clear.
4. We have to welcome our enemies (wall st) to #bitcoin otherwise the project fails before it barely has started.
5. There is plenty of critical and adversarial thinking about Bitcoin happening.
Just another man's 2 cents.
How the fuck any one reads my comment and draws the conclusion that I was implying OTHER PEOPLE should be able to tidy up your speech is beyond me. I'm clearly referring to your OWN right to manage your OWN speech to ensure your message is authentic to your intent.
Did he have a good time? We couldn't make it but mine are a similar size and next year for sure.
Listening to Elon try to school the world in finance....you can literally feel your brain cells draining away. The guy is no better than a fifth grader on money.
Can engineer though 😅
Super valuable mindset.
Few. nostr:note18ml8cpc5tkyfs2jg2nqpvlp0w36gjtwz4cr9g9j39qv6v7ywkywqt2zkek
Ahhhh Leeds. Good times. Although I watched a guy get stabbed in front of me in Leeds in 1998. Tough town.
Love the north of England though!
Welcome brother! 🤝👍🏻
Don't you just love how all politicians want history to start at the point that suits them best.
I'm a thug too if my neighbour is pointing crossbows into my yard.
Pro tip on life: If you back people into a corner in this world don't be surprised if some of them come at you head on. nostr:note1g42y43my87c8yuz3feu5tmkuv0u75a69wnrp0ajy4ehukek3uwksy0x5s0
Hey you two should chill out. I have zero interest in getting involved but I know we need you both. We aren't each others enemies.
Each bull run is unique yet broadly the same.
However when it comes to the quintessential signal of the 'staters gun' to a bull run look no further than for repetition of the following:
"This time feels different"
For at this point you are truly amongst the euphoria and will need to ground yourself in some way, shape or form.
#bitcoin
I agree with your point. Third parties must have no control. However the real demons at play here when we are in pursuit of 'truth' is ourselves. We are the most likely to want to revise our own history and for the purposes of truth we ought not allow that beyond mere moments after the note is signed.
Being able to tidy up a written thought for a few minutes after posting is entirely useful to every person, particularly given the dire state of predictive text engines.
However being able to delete, hide or manipulate speech well after the fact is a revision of history and a dark endeavour (something the legacy media has demonstrated beautifully since the birth of the internet).
They will spend several years building a major position. Then use the 5 eyes coordinated legislation cohort to promote a hard fork around OFAC rules to 'clean up' Bitcoin. There will be a huge coercive charm offensive at first to try to win over as much of the network as possible. Their hope will be to split the network in half. They will then go full Orwellian against the original time chain which will either result in a global guerrilla war or capitulation and victory for JP Morgan.
I should write fiction novels. 😂
Super exciting. Even on the hardware side so much moving in our favour with lasers and 3D metal printing etc. Even cost to low earth orbit is within our grasp over the next few decades. 🤯
