GM! ๐ โ๏ธ๐ณ๐ฅ๐๐. Yes, academic life can be more effective if we have good guidance, allowing us to clarify unclear points of learning. Unfortunately, this hasn't always been the case. The same principle applies to professional life. In both cases, if we can add our own ideas that enrich the process, the better our prospects for standing out in our field. It's up to us to realize this potential and direct our energy toward establishing foundations that allow the process to evolve. We are all taught to plant, but our personal level of productivity will largely depend on our understanding and improvement in our ability to implement the process. This can be enhanced if we had at least some assistance from people who understand what we're developing. This applies to life, and it also applies to #Bitcoin. Anyone who studies, discusses, and implements it in their own reality has better prospects for a good future, even if this journey is limited and surrounded by narratives created by those uncomfortable with the possibility of changing the rules that have established conventional wealth parameters over the past 800 years. We need to participate, we need to learn, we need to spread the word. In the end, we will all be able to benefit.

GM Sats! ๐ โ๏ธ๐ณ๐ฅ๐๐โก๏ธ
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 ๐
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.

GM! โ๏ธ โ ๐ณ ๐ฅ Morning Provocations ๐ : Despite the significant advances the GPU industry needs to demonstrate in AI development to generate market value, we haven't yet reached the point where software will stop only producing answers from databases and start formalizing questions for itself, aiming to develop the long-awaited "intelligence."
