This whole skools platform thing is pretty neato. You can structure courses for the community, give them resources. I can setup course work with submission ability, hide easter eggs that give them access to random cool features (you better believe I'm going to hide bitcoin stashes in here for first to finders). Good grief, this is a playground for me.

I have a video game idea where you play as the government/corrupt company and you goal is to entrap as many people under your control as possible. There will be a propaganda upgrade that gets marketing behind smart tech appliances that make your targets life convenient while pumping narratives that non convenient options are bad. The ones that pop up and try to disuade the public because of built in surveilance tech can be dealt with directly at the cost of public trust, or subversively through slandering, blackmailing, etc.
We will call in "Public Relations".

Important to note that it's a good idea to NOT consolidate them into one giant UTXO for privacy and security reasons. Bitcoin Layer 1 is a transparency chain and broadcasts your wallet amount to the world. Purchasing something for 1mil sats using a UTXO containing 5 bitcoin will show up on the blockchain as the entire size of that UTXO, the payment AND the remaining balance. In a perfect world, you would create UTXO's for the exact size you'll need them later, however this is practically impossible. Creating smaller ones of say 1mil each provides some protection even though the fees would be higher then having a single UTXO. Real world danger, in the situation of a malicious partner, if they look at the blockchain to verify the transaction and see you have a remainder of 4 btc, you could be in big trouble..

Yeah, i think you misunderstood my intentions. The atheist isnt bad for having an opposing world view. A christian isnt good out of pure virtue of the title. Now, I would argue that holding to the truth claim that "God doesnt exist" is intellectually dishonest, and hard to defend, but that doesnt directly coorelate with less than moral character. Regarding modern tech answering questions, what exactly are you referring to?

2026-02-03 14:40:30 UTC

- reply

It would be sad for me to take offense toward a belief system someone else holds that isn't exactly like mine, so no, I understand that given the same circumstances, life, education, I'd come to similar conclusions probably. I believe the same could be said had you experienced my life.
The 'fight' wasn't meant to be againt Christianity, but the conscience fighting with God. Your article seems to indicate that I was at least right about your upbringing and the reason you left, not sure why you argued against your experience. The problem is that pain and the "logical incoherence" of Christianity led you away from attempting to find an answer in the pain, and instead led you to believe that because "I can't hear God on my terms, and He refuses to come down to my level to reason with me, thus He is inpersonal and unworthy to worship as described by the church." Quite the jump to go from christianity to pantheism, but understandable if pain is the determining factor and self proclaimed fork you've decided on.
While I too am terminal, I might or might not have more time than you, I've come to radically different conclusions. Not because I'm more intelligent, but because I know my failings. Jesus met me at the place where I thought I could sink no lower and be no more foolish, not in my pride and anger. At least you logically understand the impossibility of atheism. I was the self proclaimed militant atheist idiot who tried bringing those within the faith out. I've noticed in my own life that what CS Lewis said to be true, that "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains."
So anyways, try me if your willing. I too enjoy healthy debates.

Let me guess, you grew up in some backdoor baptist denom, started asking questions that you weren't satisfied with the answers, and fell away because of some questions that could have easily been logically dealt with had you explored apologetics. Your faith was more like superstitions and a list of what not to dos. The real question is, if you were able to be convinced beyond reasonable means (2 + 3 =5) that Christianity is true, would you repent and believe immediately or would you fight it because you love your lifestyle now?

My reference was in the sentence that started with, "i can't shake the feeling.." specifically the last part. However, it was wrong of me to assume out the gate. This was a similar problem to what i had a while back which was self medicated by telling myself that my interests were too eccentric for normal folk thus i shouldn't bother them with more than normal topics. Eventually, i learned that people were tired of my coming back to topics that they didn't want to rehash with me, knowing that my only goal was to test my antagonistic logic against their position i gave them. Like a toddler setting all the rules for an imaginary game he expects everyone to join in on. So that's the angle i read your post, and I apologize for judging you for something I see in myself 😅

Really depends on what you mean by that. If you mean "in 100% control of your bitcoin" i'd add an asterix when mentioning lightning. On lightning, there is no such thing as “100% counterparty-risk-free” custody in the same sense as on-chain Bitcoin. Your channel partner can close your channel and you can be forced to pay closing fees, and your funds exposed on chain for all to see.
