The primary purpose here seems to be the dollarization of the world via stablecoins

It seems that generally people go from being goldbugs to being orange-pilled bitcoiners.
I think I'm going the opposite direction.

Gold has this one virtue over Bitcoin: Boomers and non-technical people can grasp it. Literally.

Honestly, most people will probably just use banks/exchanges to hold their balances.

Agreed. That's why I think bitcoin > gold in the internet age.
But I also think technology solves some of the problems that led to mass centralization in the past.
With blockchains, the settlement of digital certificates could be much faster. Dozens of competing issuers could custody gold and issue certificates, and could clear them to keep each other honest.
Just spitballing here.

I don't associate this NSEC with my identity. I want it to be anonymous. That means I don't really care if I lose it. I would feel different, though, if I were trying to build a real platform or something here. Maybe, in due time, I will have to give real thought to NSEC management. How do you think about it?

2026-08-13 21:05:12 UTC

I am obviously pro-Bitcoin. I consider myself a Bitcoiner. But I'm open to gold, especially if its something I can use as a doorway to explaining sound money and banking.
If the compromise for getting rid of the central bank is going back to the gold standard, I'd take that deal.

I think it's a good reminder to diversify. The laws of nature haven't changed. Investing in equity can still be a good investment (as long as the stocks you buy are more real than fiat). Even in a fully bitcoinized world, there will be credit and equity markets.

This is because BIP-chainers are encouraging each other to send their funds to themselves in order to create transactions and stimulate demand for the miners. Plus, how do you spend your coins on one chain without transferring them on the other as well?

2026-08-12 11:39:42 UTC

- reply

That's great and all, but how much demand is there for it?

2026-08-11 15:37:36 UTC

I used to wonder how people actually "fell" for cult leaders, became true believers, and spiraled into increasingly unhinged beliefs and behaviors.
Then I watched BIP-110 unfold in real time.
I still wonder how people fall for it, but now I can I say I had a front row seat to it happening.

2026-08-10 17:59:55 UTC

Make your case and build an economic majority.
The BIP-110 movement is not negligible, right? If you fork off, you become irrelevant. Any bitcoin holdings you collectively control are now entirely at the mercy of the people you despise.
If you stay in the community, continue building your movement and making your case, and continue running nodes, you at least stand a chance of holding the line against the next attempt to change bitcoin.
A fork is an admission of defeat.

2026-08-10 17:50:12 UTC

- reply

Removing yourself from the bitcoin commun'ity and joining a forked chain is to condemn yourself to irrelevance.

2026-08-10 15:18:17 UTC

- reply

Let me ask you this: What about the BIP110 crowd is "decentralized"? Where is the diversity of opinion? The variety of node options?
To me, it sounds like BIP110 enforces a strict dogma and views everything else as heresy. Members follow the lead of a tight-knit group of leaders, view outside voices as anathema, and ostracize any dissent or criticism.
The desired outcome is not a truly-decentralized chain, but rather a chain that is dictated by the preferences of one leader.

2026-08-10 12:07:46 UTC

- reply

I think the point is this that No One can decide what changes Bitcoin. No centralized faction, be it miners, exchanges, or even a motivated minority of nodes can change it.

I am not on Nostr to build a following. I am here to follow interesting people and hear their thoughts unfiltered. It was nice of X(Twitter) to finally stop suppressing the bitcoin twitter community, but I would much rather operate in a domain where nobody even has the opportunity to suppress it in the first place.

His statement doesn't make logical sense. You can't have a "majority" at the "top" and still have a meaningful concept of what the "top" is. If everyone is a billionaire, no one is... (And wouldn't his framing imply that the majority is served by an overburdened slave class at the "bottom"?)
There's nothing inherently wrong with being of lower economic means than someone else. You don't have to be at the top to live a meaningful, fulfilling life. While economic status is a necessarily rivalrous rank ordering where one person's being at the top necessarily means everyone else isn't, satisfaction and contentment are not.

Decentralization is certainly essential for the foundational monetary layer. Once established, that provides a better foundation upon which you can build more centralized systems, such as for daily commerce. For example, I can trust lightning payments and companies like Block for commerce more because I know that they build on bitcoin, which is decentralized.
Similarly, for communication, I want certain protocols, like the internet, to be decentralized, but I also benefit from some amounts of centralization, i.e., the Signal app.
Nostr has a chance at becoming one of the foundational decentralized protocols of a new era of social media. I think it will flourish when centralized providers are able to use it as a substrate to offer services on top of it.

2026-07-16 15:23:55 UTC

Maximum decentralization and trust minimalization are difficult and should be reserved for only the most extreme necessary foundational layers

Stampeding a church and harassing parishioners is a severely greater offense than protesting outside of an abortion clinic or even rioting at a government building, in my opinion.
