Currency doesn't create power, it's the result of it. Power exists before currency.

If you think you're going to switch to new currency to evade power, power will switch to that new currency and take it over. Doesn't matter how mathematically awesome anyone thinks it is. Power will either subsume it, or it if can't be controlled enough for that power's tastes, it will be shut down.

Anyone who says otherwise would do well to remind themselves that bitcoin, in practice, is merely a line on the stock chart and ask themselves why that is.

"But I don't live in California," said the homeowner, "Why are you raising my rates when my house is just fine?"

"lol, lmao," said the insurance company.

When you unplug your router and plug it back in, you become a new person online. You don't want to use open source software, because there's no warranty. With Apple products, you get a warranty. VPNs are run by really shady people, and you should only entrust your privacy to reputable companies (like Apple). But none of that matters if you use nostr and bitcoin, because they are inherently private.

A banned book is one your bookstore won't carry.

A "banned" book is one your bookstore will say is banned while placing that very book on prominent display to be sold.

For instance, you won't find a new copy of Camp of the Saints for sale anywhere, and used copies are very expensive (fortunately it's freely available in PDF form with a simple search).

On the other hand, the "banned" book "This Book is Gay" is widely available for sale.

Bookstores like to have display shelves of "banned books" to entice people to read them, thinking that there's something they're not supposed to know, but in reality those shelves of "banned" books serve only to corrupt and debase them.

For example, see this list of "banned books" from Columbia University's somewhat recent article on the topic: https://www.tc.columbia.edu/articles/2023/september/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-book-bans-sweeping-the-us/

Also, it's "discretion," not "disgression."

Your local school/bookstore/library's "banned books" list:

- The Manual for Gay Sex

- Hey Dad, I'm a Girl Now

- The Jesus Myth (And Other Lies Your Parents Taught You)

- Adventures in the Occult

- Girlboss: How to Be a Corporate Goddess

- etc.
