Didnāt know tattoos can help forget lifeās problems :) how does that work?
Do you have a sense of the pros/cons of the protocol he is using vs nostr?
Whatās the argument for nostr being better than Activity Pub?
Haha exactly what I thought. I have a feeling heās going to try to profit from Bitcoin in some scammy Fiat fashion and itās going to backfire for himā¦
Just one of the many drugs and foods the FDA told us was harmless because there was plausible deniabilityā¦ until there isnāt.
A good rule of thumb that Iāve adopted: If something looks too good to be true (like sweet drinks without sugar), it probably is.

Congrats nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle ! Will be tuning in
I agree. But some will play devilās advocate and say: āSure, but it can go on much longer than you think. And while youāre waiting for it all to collapse, others are just playing alongā.
Whatās your best argument that we have, in fact reached the end of the game of musical chairs?
Some might say itās the accelerating debt, although itās hard to call a completely convincing indicator there. Some might say that the mere arrival and relative success of Bitcoin to date is an indicator. What do you say?

Some weeks ago I was reading Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" aloud at bed-time to my son, who of course does not understand it but appreciates the sound of the words all the same, when I discovered that its famous title was in fact not the original! The original title was significantly more radical: "Resistance to Civil Government."
It's quite short, and I would encourage everyone here to read (or re-read) it. It is still tremendously relevant. Re-reading it with the original (un-sanitized) title in mind, it lands even harder.
These days, Thoreau would probably get his door kicked in.

āCan there not be a government in which majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience?- in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable? Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislation? Why has every man a conscience, then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterwardlā
