I paid using Bitcoin. It’s exciting to see mainstream businesses starting to adopt this technology. But it also raises an important question: Will people actually spend Bitcoin to pay for everyday things?<br/><br/>Right now, Bitcoin’s primary value proposition seems to be as a store of value—a hedge against inflation and the weaknesses of fiat currency. It’s grown significantly in that role over the past few years. So for many, spending Bitcoin feels counterintuitive; why use a potentially appreciating asset to buy fast food or coffee?<br/><br/>That thought stayed with me today while I was at the park with my kids. I saw a group of young children running a lemonade stand—classic, simple entrepreneurship. And I started wondering: if those kids wanted to accept Bitcoin, what would that look like? Right now, it probably wouldn’t make much sense. Not enough people would be willing to pay that way. But imagine fast-forwarding a few years, when Bitcoin is more widely accepted and the dollar has lost even more of its purchasing power.<br/><br/>At some point, there will be a tipping point—a moment when people stop seeing Bitcoin as “the thing you hold” and start viewing it as “the thing you use.” I used to think that shift would be gradual, but the nature of exponential change suggests it might be sudden and surprising.<br/><br/>Those of us who are deep in this space don’t really question if this transition will happen. The real question is how it will unfold. And that’s what makes watching moments like a fast food chain accepting Lightning—or a kid’s lemonade stand considering crypto payments—so fascinating. They’re tiny glimpses into a very different future that may arrive faster than most expect. 2025-05-17T17:30:59Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxvrsq3zwqnp47ph2hfr2eqs9fl55mq4vrdy2lllcvfcd3wrgx5mqzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqds3tvn3t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0yn6kculgsqwdsvfyn6q8y5afynh2qzext7dg7g7k5unwqv0qpjspramhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjss02vfs'>nevent1q…2vfs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I just paid 30,000 for some steak and shake!

Most everyday users—“normies”—aren’t ready for Bitcoin payments.<br/><br/>It reminds me of something from about a year ago. I was watching a video from Linus Tech Tips, where Linus and his team took on a “Linux-only challenge.” For a month (or maybe longer), they ditched Windows and tried to use Linux exclusively. At the end, Linus concluded: “Linux is just not ready for the mainstream.”<br/><br/>That comment really annoyed me—because I use Linux every day. But then I realized: I’m a programmer. The way I use my computer is more complex than the average user. What’s easy and intuitive for me just isn’t the same for someone else.<br/><br/>And that’s the core of the issue with Bitcoin. Things need to be stupid simple to work at scale. Like you mentioned, custodial solutions sometimes fail—but setting up self-custody is even harder.<br/><br/>I remember the first time I used an L1 Bitcoin wallet—it felt simple and intuitive. I don’t think it’s hard for everyday people to understand how Bitcoin works after they’ve tried it once or twice.<br/><br/>The real friction comes from L2s. They’re just a bit too complex for the average user to casually figure out. That’s where custodians come in. And honestly, I think they’re doing the best they can—but the tech is still young. There’s no universal playbook for what “doing it right” even looks like yet.<br/><br/>Anyway, thanks again for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate the discussion. 2025-05-11T14:12:06Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfnh6grdthlf3wumgg6mqzhlmn0742pzp9g4u5z5tlvp0ntwq4y9qzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsw694y9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd2wlx3wq94sqgh66u9hfsevym55mse87efunrc8qpr0syr8mfezqpupmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhj2v3swaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxumm5daeks6fwwa5kute9xgc8wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9ujnyvrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekjctdwd68ytnrdakj7ffjxpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6te9xgc8wumn8ghj7mnxwfjkccte9eshqup0y5erqamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7tjwvhxumm5daeks6fwwa5kute9xgc8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwv4u8getj0ghxxmmd9ujnyvrhwden5te0vejkuunfwgkhxtnwda6x7umgdyh8w6twz07vx3'>nevent1q…7vx3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It’s clear to me that Bitcoin payments just aren’t ready yet. I keep trying it, thinking “hey, maybe things are better now,” but each time I end up losing money. And I just can’t recommend something that loses money.<br/><br/>This isn’t a comment against Coinos — I know this stuff isn’t easy, and I actually admire that you’re working to bring all the L2s into one place. That’s why I like your platform. But I’ve learned my lesson, and I never keep much in any Bitcoin payment system for exactly this reason. I really hope you get it worked out.<br/><br/>The only Bitcoin L2 that’s never failed me is the Liquid Network. I know it’s centralized among a few companies, but it’s hard to argue with their track record. Green Wallet gets the job done. It’s not super fast, but it’s way faster than L1, and I’ve never lost a sat using Liquid — unlike Lightning and Cashu.<br/><br/>I want this to work desperately. That’s why I keep trying, over and over. But please be careful — I am sure you already have been thinking this but I am going to say it anyway. “trust is hard to gain and easy to lose.” I know I’m saying things you already know, but I just had to get my feelings out. <br/><br/>I believe you are trying to do the right thing. I also know this is probably just a freak accident and it might not even be your fault. I am not mad. I will give you another chance because that is what I would hope for if I was in your shoes. <br/><br/>Keep up the work you are doing and I am praying for your success. 2025-05-11T04:00:57Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfvc6xtvxd243tecazj9clultq4c55vdln5090ytwdrypan0dj8sszyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsejpsz4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdnhmn7yvlxz6ul4q5g7nuadft3rp6uj2adxhrl2vacyydu9h38lstypfzk'>nevent1q…pfzk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nostr is not exactly the best way to get the word out about this kind of stuff right now.

I mean, who doesn’t love the idea of digital money that’s decentralized, censorship-resistant, and run by math geeks instead of banks? But, like many things you love, it didn’t take long before I found out it wasn’t perfect. As I got deeper into Bitcoin, I hit a major snag—it couldn’t scale. And when you realize something you love has a flaw, it’s like finding out your favorite superhero can’t fly. Sure, they can still save the day, but now you’ve got to rethink how they do it.<br/><br/>### The Bitcoin Cash Detour: Bigger Isn’t Always Better<br/><br/>At this point, I was looking for answers, and that’s when Bitcoin Cash came along. It promised to solve Bitcoin’s problems by increasing the block size—more transactions, faster processing. Seemed like a no-brainer, right? It’s like upgrading your car’s engine so you can go faster. I thought, “Hey, maybe this is the right path!” So, I hopped on the Bitcoin Cash bandwagon for a bit.<br/><br/>But, as with any quick fix, the cracks started to show. You know that moment when you upgrade to a bigger smartphone, and suddenly it doesn’t fit in your pocket? That’s what Bitcoin Cash felt like. The bigger blocks meant more data, and more data meant it was harder for regular folks to run their own nodes. Suddenly, this thing that was supposed to be all about decentralization started leaning towards centralization—big players with big resources running the show. Not exactly the decentralized dream I signed up for. So, reluctantly, I realized that while Bitcoin Cash had its merits, it wasn’t the answer.<br/><br/>### Back to Bitcoin: Enter the Lightning Network<br/><br/>Returning to Bitcoin, I was still on the hunt for that elusive solution. That’s when I discovered the Lightning Network, and man, did it seem like the perfect answer. It promised instant, nearly fee-less transactions by taking most of the transactions off-chain. It was like finding a secret passage in a video game that lets you skip all the hard levels. I was stoked.<br/><br/>But, as anyone who’s ever tried to navigate a secret passage knows, it’s not always smooth sailing. The Lightning Network came with its own set of challenges—liquidity problems being the biggest one. Managing liquidity channels was like trying to keep a bunch of spinning plates in the air. If you got it wrong, you were either stuck or ended up relying on big players to keep things running smoothly. And just like that, the centralization monster reared its head again. Lightning was cool, but the more I dug into it, the more I realized it wasn’t the silver bullet I was hoping for.<br/><br/>### The Liquid Network: The Forgotten Solution<br/><br/>By now, I was feeling a bit like Goldilocks—one solution was too big, another was too complicated, and I was still searching for the one that was just right. That’s when I remembered something from my early Bitcoin days: the Liquid Network. I’d played around with it briefly before dismissing it as just another sidechain experiment. But hey, I was out of options, so I figured, why not give it another look?<br/><br/>And that’s when it hit me. The Liquid Network was like that old friend you haven’t talked to in years but who suddenly shows up at the exact right time with exactly what you need. Liquid wasn’t trying to do what Bitcoin or Lightning did—it was doing something entirely different. It’s designed for fast, private transactions between exchanges and big players, without clogging up the Bitcoin base layer. It’s like the express lane at the grocery store—if you’ve got 10 items or less, you zip through without slowing everyone else down.<br/><br/>### The Perfect Three-Legged Stool: Bitcoin, Lightning, and Liquid<br/><br/>It was then that I realized something profound. These three technologies—Bitcoin’s base layer, the Lightning Network, and the Liquid Network—weren’t competing solutions; they were complementary. Together, they form a perfect three-legged stool that balances security, scalability, and speed.<br/><br/>Here’s the deal:<br/><br/>1. **Bitcoin’s Base Layer**: This is the foundation, the bedrock. It’s decentralized, secure, and slow—but in a good way. It’s like the tortoise in the tortoise and the hare story. Sure, it’s not winning any speed races, but it’s rock-solid, and you can count on it to get the job done safely.<br/><br/>2. **Lightning Network**: Lightning is the hare—fast and nimble, perfect for quick, small transactions. But like the hare, it has its vulnerabilities. Managing liquidity is tricky, and it can start to centralize if you’re not careful. But it’s still an essential part of the ecosystem, allowing you to buy your morning coffee without waiting 10 minutes for a confirmation.<br/><br/>3. **Liquid Network**: Liquid is the middle ground, the express lane for bigger transactions. It’s private, fast, and doesn’t burden the Bitcoin base layer. It’s not as decentralized as Bitcoin, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s like the specialized tool in your toolbox—it’s not for every job, but when you need it, nothing else will do.<br/><br/>Together, these three form a system that’s resilient, adaptable, and, most importantly, decentralized where it counts. Bitcoin’s base layer remains secure and untouchable, Lightning handles the day-to-day transactions, and Liquid takes care of the big movers and shakers without compromising the core network.<br/><br/>### Conclusion: The Journey Was Worth It<br/><br/>Looking back, I’m glad I took the detour through Bitcoin Cash and struggled with Lightning’s complexities. Those experiences taught me the importance of trade-offs in technology, and that no single solution can do it all. But together, Bitcoin, Lightning, and Liquid create a robust system that’s ready to scale, ready to innovate, and ready to meet the needs of users worldwide.<br/><br/>So, here I am, a bit older, a bit wiser, and a lot more confident in Bitcoin’s future. I’ve found my perfect three-legged stool, and it’s holding up just fine.<br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/KbmH.jpg"> 2024-09-03T06:09:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrpma0hy3xx7652kuw22wl2hlvnyv758ddgvlfl6uc07lg2ej6s3qzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsp9ezxf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqfgjvkm82a6lc3pss5kfyy4h840s8ql0sv7xttd2lqenyzvy205cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhg9pw24t'>nevent1q…w24t</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Goldeneye really did set the bar high, and yeah, Tomorrow Never Dies feels oddly relevant now.

It’s like saying, &#34;We know the price will be between $100 and $1,000,000 within the next 1000 years,&#34; which is obviously an exaggeration, but it highlights the issue.<br/><br/>Another aspect I want to explore is whether the power law applies to currencies other than the US dollar. If it doesn’t hold true in other currencies, then there’s no reason to assume it should in US dollars either. And if the power law once worked in another currency but then broke down, it suggests that it could also fail in the US dollar.<br/><br/>I’m not trying to dismiss the power law. To be honest, for a while, it brought me a lot of excitement. No matter what model you consider, the trend always seems to point up and to the right. 2024-08-31T15:04:53Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstzz9nnu2qp63nf5432u7f2qgvwm958axwmv0xwdsum93djda2jxszyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqds0aws6n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsplvmyjcczjh3qwwdehnqc4rcmz0fnscr5h7ltmvahlfdzel9u3scpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgrwgtk3'>nevent1q…gtk3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You? 2024-08-31T02:30:20Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfyf9ltfa5gx4cftv9m2rrd4kd87ldsrg96se3zwmdj2l0ncjq9gqzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqds70vkvn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs095ml2l8shh9dju0282y7at2xl93xtsdnx330452chz0vns2nnegpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5yc0ejx'>nevent1q…0ejx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This is sad. 2024-08-30T22:55:39Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszvw9u92ph953jhpx8all0mhs4jggvgqaywv902tmekljyen2yuhqzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdst34ytp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswz7rxetg80v26l5lf68h26ev9rpftqtk6cwnuf6yxtx3ct3jnuaqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5du4jf7'>nevent1q…4jf7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I want to but I would like some help with it. 2024-08-30T22:52:49Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstxvrrz49k4lhtvdw3as6hd3xupqv7e75l9f6yz8r4y4fpdlcnzsczyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsc4xent In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstwqznk6q23r9p09k7w8sp5symge39zp9xesa0l3mcnh623jpp9aqpr3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujummjv9hxwefdvde82umg9e3k7mg33g9sc'>nevent1q…g9sc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Here’s a thought: Gold served as a great form of money for many reasons, and most people would agree. The main issue with gold, however, is its size and weight, making it difficult to transport. To solve this, paper certificates redeemable for gold were introduced. The problem was that the issuers of these certificates could issue more than the gold they actually had, leading to a lack of trust.<br/><br/>The real issue wasn’t the idea of issuing paper certificates but the inability to verify that the number of certificates matched the gold held by the issuer. Instead of focusing on scaling Bitcoin, perhaps we should focus on solving the verification problem. If we could easily verify that the number of issued certificates corresponds exactly to the Bitcoin held by the issuer, scaling wouldn’t be an issue, and we could trust third parties because we could verify their claims. 2024-08-29T01:37:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs23f6cwqhgpymkkuudqd6klk52edwfmjksyn4vd9seljcxvlslx0szyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsu8vf8r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrku4v9jwe3lu3q509searx0e5qu3wyvvs7rcr5kd4rl64h8x0ftgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgvf02qe'>nevent1q…02qe</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The U.S. might as well start handing out &#34;World&#39;s #1 Sanctioner&#34; souvenir mugs to tourists!<br/><br/>Who knew trying to control the world could cause so much chaos?

It might be tempting to let them take over, especially when you&#39;re under pressure to keep up with everything. But while AI can be a great tool, there&#39;s a big difference between using it to help and letting it run the show.<br/><br/>AI can be really useful for things like writing better comments, coming up with ideas, or explaining tricky thoughts. It can help you get your message across clearly, which is great if you struggle with words or want to make your ideas easier to understand. With AI&#39;s help, you can put your best foot forward, making your posts sharper without losing your own voice.<br/><br/>But if you let AI handle everything, you might lose something important—your authenticity. Social media is meant for human connection. People follow you because they care about what *you* have to say, not what a machine says. If AI takes over, it won&#39;t feel like you anymore, and people might notice. Over time, this could hurt your connection with your audience as they realize they&#39;re not really engaging with a person.<br/><br/>The trick is to find a balance. Use AI as a tool to make your work easier, but don&#39;t let it replace you. This way, your social media stays true to who you are, while still benefiting from what AI can do. You can keep your personal touch, but with a bit of extra polish.<br/><br/>In the end, AI can help you a lot with social media, but it shouldn&#39;t take over. A balanced approach lets you stay authentic while making the most of AI’s strengths. Social media is all about connecting with others, and that&#39;s something only you—not a machine—can truly offer.<br/><br/><br/>P.S. this comment was written by an AI😂 2024-08-28T12:05:51Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8zwdr3n87dl0x50enmm3ndzlrqtc88kp9708s6g7j982gh06xjuszyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsxqqeav In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8apc2lwxrlpuwt84zcnyqfltx87ls8sru4zjr3ve0p6wyyq0lhgqpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wch44ml8'>nevent1q…4ml8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Debating decentralization on centralized platforms, no system’s perfect, but isn’t that the whole point?

Watching others bask in the glow of fame, with hundreds, thousands, or even millions of eyes on them, it’s hard not to want a piece of that. Their ideas are so well-articulated, their thoughts so thought-provoking, that part of me can’t help but wish I were in their shoes.<br/><br/>But then I take a step back and realize that craving fame is not the right motivation. Most of the people who achieve that level of recognition do so not because they chased popularity, but because they had something valuable to say. Their ideas, perspectives, and the way they connect with others are what draw people to them—not a desire to be famous.<br/><br/>It’s tempting to believe that gaining a following on social media is the ultimate goal. The allure of fame is powerful, and I can’t deny that it has its pull. But I also know that this isn’t something I should aspire to. The drive to create should come from the strength of the ideas themselves, not from a desire to be recognized.<br/><br/>This is something I struggle with. Even if I could come up with great ideas, strong arguments, and genuine thoughts and feelings on a topic, would I be able to remain consistent like those who have succeeded? The people who become known for their content are not only brilliant—they are also incredibly consistent in articulating their ideas. It’s a difficult journey, and if you’re not willing to recognize how much harder it is than it appears, you might want to reconsider.<br/><br/>Ultimately, I’m beginning to understand that the true reward lies in the strength of the ideas we share, not in the number of people who notice them. If I can focus on that, the rest will follow naturally, or perhaps not at all—and that’s okay too.<br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/KPhm.jpg"> 2024-08-27T12:53:53Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8wa4rjcl2wfg2lg9sz2culff9nk9ngrw7mgxvrzjc35ypux80y2gzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsjqpmuf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9hxprgc7qd24p4pu9pd3fm8dg6avdctf5he7t7992c8x7j2jqtmcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsvv47zv'>nevent1q…47zv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you post I read. 2024-08-27T12:38:48Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2684r7pgg9r0nd6nhghsqg0x2xtprxhd8drrlx5ftqf5vkv0xecgzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqds239ltn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrwzj2v8p8kdc35qfvapnng2snfjfhdpmawe7253wuky9rvxxzv4gpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsm292fn'>nevent1q…92fn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Humans will do disputable things when they are broke and desperate.

It’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. 2024-08-26T03:38:46Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd3n6dvfcf5ude4tnep2h6qr2wn58wl04lj5p0es9490xzejynupgzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsd5exkk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspr8dqtq354sgz2xv7mjls96jtns5rs7yevmrfg6c3qutqqu0pjvcpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcglr7pw'>nevent1q…r7pw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Me too! 🤣 2024-08-26T03:38:08Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8yvehgqhzm2zlcjfg4m8aue0saw8739zhw626sevyp2e25s7um3szyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqds8f8jey In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr2kxcngfllr3euunug5vdr9h7v70rgm09e4ytdd66ak0jsp5ya5spr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5x0mage'>nevent1q…mage</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That has nothing to do with it.

Shutting down places where people can freely organize or speak out seems to be a big goal. Telegram and other platforms have given people a voice, and it makes sense that those in power would feel threatened by that. 2024-08-26T03:36:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrsfwcw806f4zaesed25h0wm2ncqd4ryfml0rcrzqsk8aysp0q5mgzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsccspar In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx9hg39plzrqhw6hu0yescggr2zz5779sgwfl9ljrln2w6ajjrjmspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqjv7s88'>nevent1q…7s88</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nice! 2024-08-26T03:35:53Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs256tf40m6haa230z4gj0dgjlvm732ehgvgfkh3k8qe77j7m2lppgzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsvatqnc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2snezcru8ecmxgj0pt6a63xmm6w7nqy32wv8aqzue25r5xvk9atspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhg9eps6z'>nevent1q…ps6z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah, it’s scary how things that once seemed crazy just start to feel normal over time. The longer it goes on, the more people just accept it without questioning. But it’s good to keep talking about it so we don’t lose sight of what’s really happening. 2024-08-26T03:35:36Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgfkhu9a0qjqwsk8ve0urtv6wzfwfsd8mjeezgx08qpg574kk0tygzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqds7cvrry In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqkvfe487lxl6jnkneuppfuhvxsrl87mgqvwset3la7uwanrrrpyspzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cs46uhlr'>nevent1q…uhlr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That’s the real question, isn’t it? Who decided they could just take those rights away, and why do they think it’s okay? It’s like they assume we won’t push back or that it’s for our own good, but it’s hard to see how that adds up. 2024-08-26T03:34:57Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsre2lf6qumkf9e7yt7zm3qyfcsphus2lshms6gnu2gg3mwsr8xy3qzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsa9s5az In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgyn6hp623tvenxdyuxpzvpmh698nq4v7za588tyutqpvulpxxu8cpyemhxue69uhhqunfd4skcttrv93ksefwd46hg6tw09mkzmrvv46zucm0d5hhvvg6tu5f8'>nevent1q…u5f8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah, it does make you wonder how something so big was ready so fast. It’s like it was just waiting for the right moment. Every little step since then has just chipped away at privacy bit by bit.

We’re all kinda wired to fit in, but it’s good when someone takes a step back and questions it.
