Useful to have a lesser decoy. Better than disappearring completely is looking like you are active, but its only a small subset of your activity.
Good analogy. Though, I think the base is even bigger than that in reality.
I'm around 2000 on Lichess. This post had me thinking for a second. I played a game to test the idea. Truth is, I'm always just trying to improve my position. Fix problems, exploit opponents problems, increase posibilites, etc. I rarely think about what was lost from the previous position, unless I blunder or something, in which case its just a 'what was I thinking' kind of thing.
It is even more specific: "The LOVE of money is A root of EVERY KIND of evil." Otherwise, Paul would be an idiot because surely people do evil outside of money and for other things than money.
All great. I'd add: see the sunrise daily. If it can be managed, get as much uv as possible without getting burned. Extra, if possible, watch sunset too.
Sending sats is fun
Well, it is what will jumpstart many people's health. Being able to do it is another issue. I guess I'm lucky to be self employed and live in a low cost location. I guess it comes down to if one believes the health benefits are worth it.

It's the only way to defend against people who pathologically think other people's money belongs to them.

You don't need the most secure network to ever exist to send pennies of value.
For now, lightning works fine.
Every system that can be attacked will be. Lets figure out how to use Nostr and other tools to make the thing attackers hate: merit based organizationns that are well distributed.
Takes them do long to say what the supposed problems are.
They are either completely delusional, or, they know the days are numbered and, as such, are taking as much they can possibly get away with. I suppose across the politicians, and controllers in general, a combination of both.
I think the cool thing is that we don't have to make this about ethics, and it doesn't even matter if we do. We just build the tools that reduce the State's ability to take people's wealth and see what results. I think such a world will be better, but it doesn't matter. That is where we are headed. Turns out people will like keeping what they create and don't really care about ethics. I, for one, will do my part to help that world exist.
