It’s not an insult to reflect on family dynamics at all. I celebrate you doing this. Takes courage to discuss this openly, especially with toxic bitcoiners who might shame you for sharing an insight you have discovered. I do love bitcoiners but unfortunately I’ve encountered very few who have done inner work. Good on you brosif.

No where in the above paragraph did I insult my parents. What i’m expressing is that, like many of us, I had to unlearn and undo patterns, baggage, and unhealthy dynamics that were passed down.

It’s not about blaming them as people, but about choosing a different path. If that’s an insult to them then it is what it is.

That’s the dumbest comment I’ve ever read on here. There are many incapable people that happen to bring kids into this world that deserve zero respect.

We reap what we sow in life

When my parents (who were boomers) died I went around undoing a bunch of the bullshit they had left me with.

Relationships, obligations, patterns of thought, secrets I was supposed to keep, I set fire to it all and walked away.

Something tells me we are about to live through something like that collectively on a massive scale.

He admits he doesnt understand Cores argument. Like you said, friendly observing fence sitter, which is probabaly where you should be. Next step though if to listen to both arguments and make an informed decision on who is correct or how they might be both wrong. Instead he is virtue signalling unfortunately

open source software is powerful because anyone can verify, modify, distribute, and use without permission

a robust open source ecosystem empowers all of us to take agency over our lives

fighting with people over what software they run is mostly unproductive, run what you want, thats the whole point

So you're saying increasing the default is 100% the same as removing control?

Mechanic and Luke are bad actors.

neither knots nor core can force changes that you don’t want on you if you check the changes before you upgrade your node.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

On Android, generate your Nostr keys, keep your nsec safe… and #Amber will be the last app you’ll ever need to paste it into.

True. There are many things needed for a free society. That is why it's easy for a society to spiral into serfdom.

I was focusing on the OP points.

The opposite of a welfare state is individual welfare. For the latter you need to bring up your children to be kind and thoughtful of others. For the former you need to convince your children that the state has a right to take your property if someone else is in need

I think it's obvious which method will bring up a caring society.

People > Algorithms

Still new here and figuring out how to curate my feed.

I’m following pretty much everyone, because I’d rather have more voices and more content to engage with.

My theory is simple: if someone posts things I don’t like, or just spams, I’ll unfollow.

But in the meantime:

more content = more community.

Is this the right move? What have you tried?

Thanks for clarifying for him. Bitcoin is the crypto, not a crypto and all the rest are mostly scams. Always annoys me when they bundle bitcoin with crypto with a broad brush. Not the same.

It's permanent. As more and more people finally get into bitcoin, there will be even more people who want to "contribute". They usually won't be able to make a real contribution, so they'll just find a dumb argument to take a random side on

bitcoiners fighting is a feature

are bitcoiners going to be fighting with each other this entire bull run or is it just a phase

Why aren't you constantly violently sick in your stomach that you, your parents, your grandparents, humanity, all worked their butts off, and central banks just print their money out of thin air for free, and tell you with a straight face that it's so you can have a job, and keep prices stable.

MOTHER FUCKEN WHAT?

Buy #Bitcoin to destroy these fuckers, and then we also incarcerate them all for good measure.

The real threat is you giving it access. Every app, every permission, every convenience adds another door. AI doesn’t break your privacy, it exploits the doors you leave open.

Why are you surrounding yourself with people who are not loyal to you?

Most people are blissfully ignorant of stuff like this and love their capture. We have a massive Stockholm syndrome problem on our hands.
