Last Notes npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny I kept trying lower amounts and managed to move $10 worth to lightning. Extremely tight liquidity it seems. At least the balance isn’t gone so I can wait a bit. But never leaving shit on Liquid again lol npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Is @npub1ajl…zx3q or @npub1nyy…7gan ever going to work or are my liquid funds stuck/lost forever? https://blossom.primal.net/e7de09a96798f50f45b5a551acead4fe78be056c7f1441d64a57da1bd40f80e4.jpg npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Welcome to Nostr. Where experts you ask questions to can just do a pod for you ⚡️ #nevent1q…pjdl npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Excited to follow your FIPS updates! I listened to one pod where it was talked about and how it was birthed in Sovereign Engineering but I don’t fully understand the posibilities, any pods you recommend that talks about it more without going super technical? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Ive thought about opening up shop in Upwork and Contra around 2023 as a designer, but the grind to get established while beating the prices of lower market designers felt futile. But most importantly, I didnt want a pimp to dictate my business lol. Especially with ever increasing fees and KYC. My account as a client got frozen in the middle of a very small project on Upwork where they all of a sudden demanded multiple forms of ID. I just abondened the project and account, then chargebacked the TX from my credit card. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny What about average or most Monero users? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny If you’re using Monero through an exchange wallet it’s the same risks as Bitcoin right? But Monero culture is more private so ppl never leave stuff on exchanges? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny You can’t drop these bombs and not have a lightning address set to receive zaps! ⚡️ npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Sounds similar to to a Tailnet npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny "The Cerîde-i Adliye began in the 1870s as the Journal of the Courts, a bulletin for staff of the Ottoman Empire’s newly created Nizamiye courts, which had just replaced independent religious judges with judges answerable to the state. It survived the fall of the empire. Then for a few years in the mid-1920s its covers became pretty wild. Each issue led with a full-page infographic, and they were dense, ornamental and close to unreadable. Legal statistics were plotted onto figurative structures with a level of small decorative detail that carried no information at all. The titles were still set in Arabic script, since alphabet reform was two years away. The designer Deniz Cem Önduygu analysed one in 2017 for Ömer Durmaz’s exhibition Speak to the Eyes in Istanbul. His conclusion was blunt. Most of the covers’ problems, he wrote, came down to “sacrificing data readability in order to make it look much more interesting/complex than it is.” On the cover he chose, recovering a single number required finding four separate points and adding them together." https://blossom.primal.net/794b12885e3fdfa63eeaa7c7ca0e56d64b71813fc8eb15af43614df3acd1199f.png https://blossom.primal.net/d806f22b39706dea2e94ca4006395f981adf1779bd6e33d02de66e0eebb2a7e3.png https://blossom.primal.net/b9bf0f9a88ec5ef55e3a23b16e6d86af0ef24d504fcb356876fb62f18bedb9ed.png https://blossom.primal.net/5a0e9c039989d63bec762a66fee8f2fd7a3359cad2328d9cdbebe20ebcc673bd.png https://blossom.primal.net/37d885a784a372680008fa42f6789285cfdfb5178a237b033ac94db43b47a75d.png https://blossom.primal.net/626d3e63c6d0791003feb7722d20bec29cf3611d7d72f816a845f4bd356fd9b3.png npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny So I do switch to Monero or Blake2b now what’s going on npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny I bought the silicone cups from the same seller from the Amazon link you pasted and they’re arriving today, I’m stoked! These were pretty cheap if I like it I’ll buy the pot. Glad you shared! https://blossom.primal.net/9c5a4fe1d3e563932a298668e65c017817cf1f93e6bafb7073189bf8eb0527e1.jpg npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny I tried this exact way last week and “peels off like nothing” wasn’t even close to my experience :( npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny In case you haven’t heard, Kagi is considered the best search engine these days. There’s a free trial but it’s paid, which aligns the incentives to list the most relevant and highest quality results, unbiased and ad free. And they’re great advocates of a better internet and have partnerships with similar other companies. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Coldcard is dangerous and irresponsible npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Yeah but most of it was already out long ago npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Aren’t ones likes measles and chicken pox, etc. good? Whats the downside? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Whats op vault do? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Instead of calling for an influencer to take a specific stance, wouldn’t suggesting everyone ignore them be better for the community? Bigger the name, the more biased and full of themselves they get. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Anybody with good dice rolling resources for seed gen? #asknostr npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Only as after sun, didn’t know it could be used as daily moisturizer too! Do you recommend any particular brand? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Is there a business here selling moisturizers? #asknostr npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny ELI5, what are the differences? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Good. We need more anger, more push back from Israelis as the world awakens so it backfires even more right to their face. Theyre forced to defend atrocities with arrogance, it will only fuel more hate towards them from the rest of the world. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny “Stop rejecting my fiat scams and let me capture Bitcoin” npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Open to it but these theories never cover basic rebuttal questions. Have tens of thousands of aerospace engineers across the world not thought of and questioned where that fuel fits? How have they all been thought fake physics to design and develop airplanes that somehow work on non-turbine planes but need energy harvesting for turbine planes? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Isn’t BIP 110 just Core before v30? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny They’re all welcome npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny While some degredation is undeniable, this effect is also caused by the bland designs having normal budgets. Comparing the ceiling of Versailles to a random room is silly. None of us are confused why our bookshelf isn’t like the library in Buckingham Palace lol npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny What’s his YouTube? Looove this npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Totally agree. My post focused on the dark side of the coin but majority of the time that belonging and love works out for us. Then some of the worst things in humanity occur from blind loyalty npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Allegiances to a figure, tribe, political party, country, or a religion are and will always be the most exploited vulnerability in history. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Just listened to your episode on Free Cities and loved it, once I get a fully remote job I gotta try my 1 month there too! How much was that motorbike you bought on your second day :) ? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny How exactly does Buzz utilize Nostr? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny I love your ancient wisdom tips! npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny If Bitchat was only hosted on ngit. That would be the “radical” use Nostr deserves. #nevent1q…tlnr npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny We need a Nostr takedown request/ban from a nation state to hit the Streisand effect. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny This is why I hate those Oura ring style trackers. People are looking to be told by gadgets for how to feel npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Freedom from themselves? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny What part of this relies on Nostr? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny How’s this metaphor? I’m always open to changing my mind through a good metaphor, so would love any counters. #nevent1q…avjs npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Imagine the old 80 bytes limit the physical space you can write on a cash note. Would you want to enlarge the cash note’s size just because a few people want to draw a Mona Lisa and write a poem on it? Bitcoin is electronic cash. Cash only transfers value with maybe a checksum or a hash worth of data (80kb) with it, which would be equivalent of some random characters on a physical note at most. All humans universally understand that anything more on cash becomes less and less money, increasing the risk of the next person rejecting that note therefore decreasing its value because you tried to attach an unintended secondary purpose to it. Bitcoin Core turned cash notes into the size of your TV screen. BIP110 wants revert that. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny I think all the “what is monetary tx” questions are intended to muddy the water. Imagine the old 80 bytes limit the physical space you can write on a cash note. Would you want to enlarge the cash note’s size just because a few people want to draw a Mona Lisa and write a poem on it? Bitcoin is electronic cash. Cash only transfers value with maybe a checksum or a hash worth of data (80kb) with it, which would be equivalent of some random characters on a physical note at most. All humans universally understand that anything more on cash becomes less and less money, increasing the risk of the next person rejecting that note therefore decreasing its value because you tried to attach an unintended secondary purpose to it. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Maybe we were never meant to have one main bitcoin node implementation for this long. Why don’t more ppl consider that a centralized attack vector? Humans are always the weakest link. Imagine if mining was 85% one pool. Wouldnt Bitcoin be stronger with multiple implementations? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny I just read the miswak article too lol npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny But I feel like understanding which side has the better memes is just as challenging as understanding which side is more truthful. A clever liar could seem “right” with wisely chosen memes, no? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny RIP his back npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny What do you think about shelling a $1k on a Mac mini and running your model? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny What’s that? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Because not a single Bluesky user knows about Nostr or has ever heard the term Freedom Tech npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny You recommend? It’s not a dry or boring book I hope, will add this to my list npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Smartest answer npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Largest economic category of people on earth are working minimum wage or less than minimum wage jobs, or are unemployed. They maaybe have a high school degree at best, but many wont. Think Third World and Developing countries, which is majority of the world. They're stuck at their dead end jobs you and I would consider slavery. These folks don't have much knowledge or access to any form of birth control. All they see growing up is big families living in small homes. Girls get married off young. Poor people are having lots of kids now cuz up until the last ~100 years, that's just what humans did for most of our specie's history as almost everyone were also poor and had to make sure there's enough offspring that survived into adulthood and helped the family out. I guess this is just a personal preference, but if I was lower class in a developing country today (which is the average person one earth), I'm saving my ass and not creating more mouths to feed. And I think that'd make most other people happier but our historical precedence is preventing our lower class to be none the wiser. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Facts. Dont let perfect be the enemy of better. I recently learned about Free Cities, there’s already communities around the world working towards this with growing success. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny I’m happy for you, and I can tell you’re probably a great father/husband. But you’re a full time father only because you already bagged financial security, this is a colossal challenge for majority of the world. I think it’s dishonest to preach parenthood like a righteous necessity without recognizing the luxury it takes to do it with sanity in today’s world. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny There is an insane bias from happy and financially well off parents, who are the minority. The average parent is at best in an emotionally stable but unhappy marriage and is living pay check to pay check, you just don’t hear from them. Having kids is no longer a spiritual choice, it’s financial and survival. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Thank you for this refreshing perspective. The loud minority of good parents who shill it like missionaries are plenty. But there’s also tons of childless folks who are blissfully enjoying peace and financial security, they just dont shout about it from the mountain tops. HODL is also wealthy which makes parenting feasible without sacrificing everything about your own self. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Yeah we never really predicted HODL culture would get us here, it’s become a double edged sword. But I only think this is a part of the problem. I think if it was convenient enough to spend Bitcoin, people would do it more. Ignoring the chicken and egg problem of not enough merchants vs not enough Bitcoin spenders, there isn’t a direct incentive to spending Bitcoin as there is to saving it. For almost all of Bitcoin’s history, HODLing was guaranteed to work with a 3-4 year horizon. As a saving mechanism, there was clear evidence of success. And HODLing is physically just easier, you buy and do nothing. Spending much more complicated. If your cost basis isn’t higher (enough) than today’s BTC price, you’re losing money on each purchase. Spend & replace increases your costs basis which isn’t a great feeling unless your conviction is already high. I think if price keeps consistently going up, spending will make more sense too as circular economies organically grow. But as another person commented here, circular economies aren’t gonna be a first world thing anytime soon. So it feels like we’re just relying mostly on conviction for spending these days to boost velocity. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny We hear this problem all the time, it’s likely the biggest we face and I appreciate you for bringing it up. You also likely spend more time thinking about this problem then me, so why do you think people don’t want to spend their bitcoin? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny You don’t think generic AIs will already create that if you upload a simple stock count? Those databases will probably be simple and standardized for all agents so I’m imaging they can create it too. Unless you’re saying most smaller businesses won’t even know the need to, or feel like dealing with that. But my counter to that is that if you are selling anything online in the AI age, you’ll at least be using a basic AI chat to help you keep up. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Might be a silly question but, does it ever “run out”? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny What the heck even is mica npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny WhatsApp is open source? Didn’t even know you could build a client for it npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Sene 2026, Türkiye de wifi çoğu yerde hala bok gibi npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny So you just rub the stone after showers, that’s it? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny This feels like a hack Big Deo would hunt you for publishing! Never heard of it, are you using it? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Might help if you add some feces fluidity, a bit of splattered shit might do wonders 😅 npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Zero long term thinking, sad. But the goal isn’t setting ourselves apart from others, I wish all my neighbors, barista, and car mechanic prospered together and lived happier. Not sink deeper into financial slavery. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Where can I pre order? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Counter thought: People who can’t relax and argue over meaningless things for fun are retarded npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny This or we bust npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Seeing this just brought me happiness, beautiful vision npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny We are all retards 🫡 npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Great examples! I hope that pattern continues, I just worry laws pushing business the other way indirectly. Or worse, force asinine KYC rules to eliminate private and P2P usage. Smaller Bitcoin focused businesses leading the way definitely proves the concept for normie corporations. Imagine if Signal today integrated BTC it would be huuge.

Sadly just cuz this is the most obvious answer it doesn’t mean mainstream platforms will just jump on it. I think even when they want to, authorities will place heavy regulatory burdens to lead them to just integrate shitty stable coins or similar “trusted” mediums. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Stuck in Istanbul airport but at least I’m home in my favorite cafe and trying out Replit 🇹🇷 https://blossom.primal.net/525d04d2540db8a5fd8780bdf97a5f7cbc24c541e6129915c29b5e4691e9c592.jpg npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Slay your heroes npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Who’s this king npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny “If printing money ended poverty, printing diplomas would end stupidity.” npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny When we get to a point where businesses want to accept it but worry about taxes, it means we’ll be at a place where most individuals privately already use it P2P for sending each other small amounts, very frequently. That stage will be huge because Bitcoin’s privacy layers will make anyone who utilize it hidden. And unless it becomes illegal, if im a coffee shop, I’ll just accept more and more Bitcoin and not declare that revenue. Which is what a many cash business already do. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny If your physical cash has a drawing on it and made the note too deformed, most wouldn’t accept it.

Based in Europe, this is a more plug & play alternative to GrapheneOS that's gaining steam. DeGoogled, privacy-first approach to smartphone, compatible with +284 phones. But you can just buy a Murena that's built for /e/OS that has models for all price tiers, including a nice flagship.

All the freedoms you claim US "give" are already our innate human rights on this planet. Thanking your kidnapper for being closer to treating you like a free person instead of fighting back for still holding you hostage is their patriotic propaganda right at work. They economically and violently exploit the rest of the world, then lull you into being content by making you believe America is better while your liberties are being brokered between lobbyists and politicians, causing generational decline in prosperity and well being. Iran, Israel, and US have all done despicable harm to innocent humans. Just like most governments that ever existed. I never understand why people get in these "but but my side less evil!" arguments, it's such a distraction. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Who’s this fella and where’s it from? npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny You have to realize the Bitcoin Conference is a giant networking game to "have a seat at the table". I've attended it twice, had a great time, but realized what it is quickly. That being said, to my friends that are attending especially for work or even pleasure, please have fun, but raise your awareness and speak out when you can. At best, this event is entertainment and incredible connections with brilliant humans. And worst is what it's become, a big shiny platform for the elite class of politicians, bankers, and regulators, Bitcoin was made to rescue us from. While champions of Bitcoin and freedom are sent to PRISON for contributing to privacy by writing code, a fed that wants to ensure no one else tries that again is speaking at the main stage, you can't make this stuff up. The centralization of one big bitcoin club creates a culture of mainstream, and that's exactly how you get a controlled narrative pushed by the wrong people. This is the evolution of a big industry (Big Bitcoin?) that once was as punk and grassroots as can be. And now it's become a machine to influence where capital and attention gets directed. And it's directed at things that make that big club money, not improving Bitcoin's attributes to empower humanity. Bitcoin's social layer is proving to be our biggest weakness. Because up top, these big networks always have a self-reinforcing pressure that makes going against the grain extremely risky. It's the same evolutionary mindset of going against your tribe, the risk of being outcasted then dying off is high. Your favorite and biggest figures in Bitcoin know very well that their sponsors, conference invites, guest appearances, and investments all depend on this. None of them will callout and boycott David Bailey and the conference for what it is because of this. But it's simple. Anything anybody does that does not improve Bitcoin's decentralization, privacy, security, self-custody, and grassroots community - eventually becomes a grifter in the space to make money. Remember that Bitcoin doesn't have central servers, so reject them at the social layer like your node would in the protocol layer. We should never idolize and let the big stages get this influential. Direct your energy more to meetups, regional conferences, and projects you can see benefiting your life as a Bitcoiner. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny There’s a lot more quality content than Ant’s days, but exponentially more noise too :( It’s definitely harder being a newbie without someone you trust guiding you to good resources. Meetups help a lot with that npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny Just got that Ducky keyboard last month! Fantastic tactile and feel but have to charge the battery a bit too frequently compared to my last wireless keyboard. And ofc I can’t configure it on Linux even though it’s a web based software so I have to plug it into a windows PC to do any settings https://blossom.primal.net/7bb895400b6ed77c40e48840e332202905bfcbaba112708e81a35e09268bb840.jpg npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny 🇹🇷coffee 🇬🇷wafer https://blossom.primal.net/e48895a839258d91448deb5ee657f24639685285cbbcad0225c1d0e1d61598a7.jpg npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny If you had to chose between two. Would you prefer someone steal and actually use your corn, or freeze it so no one can ever use it? It’s a loss either way, one helps rest of the network by not rewarding thieves, other incentivizes theft with a big inflationary effect. npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny A deity-like figure in Turkey 🇹🇷. His portraits proudly hung in all classrooms when I was growing up, not because he was a supreme leader, but because he refused the idea of such power and instead taught sovereignty and freedom to a nation that only knew divine rulers. He transitioned a fallen empire in shambles into a modern country, and gifted it to the people. He is the father of all Turks, and will forever remain so. Mustafa Kemal ATATURK would've been the biggest Bitcoiner today. https://blossom.primal.net/cb9efa52bd74921f51d3334029df5ef6e28c2a305ce1f54ff78ce93e56a4e3af.mp4 npub1gek9gw78ctgzvpynzxk08ceqm8ftz57s56mdc04kjlf5cd8hr69qf9jwe2 its_Johnny What does this even mean, genuinely don’t get it?
