Libertarians being incredibly rude and stand-offish dissuade otherwise agreeable people from considering Bitcoin. And perma-bulls set people up for failure with the dips.<br/><br/>Too much idealism. Bitcoin is math.<br/><br/>&#34;Oh but if they&#39;re too stupid to get it then they don&#39;t deserve it.&#34; Okay well, then stop complaining about number-go-down and adoption if you are scaring normal people off.

It took me over 10 years before I finally bought some. For the longest time I hated Bitcoin because it drove up the prices on my gaming PC parts. I didn&#39;t understand the tech or my need for it, but in a weird way the overpriced parts slowly pushed me away from gaming addiction and toward #FOSS. Without spending years studying/using #opensource software (and being really poor) I never would have found the &#34;need&#34; for BTC. I have the need now for sure.<br/><br/>Hopefully I can get in earlier on the Nostr goldrush! 2025-11-06T18:23:03+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszcapxl4w4guqqmkr4unzujazcrj95nyfhu2g56cuz2kq45gx58wszyzpyt53g0ldfw8nlxcz392c3khz6j6a0ts5vmnl5mf4mx37j0g2gzp5t8xx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqx8p38j47upyaw7qszn5wjsfz0u6fdfar7f7d9v5xygy9d838p3qdvml7g'>nevent1q…ml7g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Amythyst is my favorite way to use Nostr.

I also don&#39;t think Satoshi&#39;s coins will remain dormant forever. However, you are right to say this doesn&#39;t compromise the open/verifiable nature of the network protocol. It is also very bullish whether you think this is a good thing or not.<br/><br/>The dark future I see is Bitcoin being used to recollateralize the financial system with CBDC&#39;s (like stable coins) put on top.

The mode of giving has never come up though. <br/><br/>I also attend an Antiochian parish, and if it&#39;s easy to see what everyone gives then maybe that isn&#39;t as covert as it should be. Ours is a basket, not a plate, and nobody can see what you put in besides the person holding the basket.<br/><br/>I think you do have a point on &#34;interrupting&#34; the service to some degree. It&#39;s not something I had ever put much thought into, probably because I&#39;ve never heard anyone complain about it as I said. I&#39;m sure there are better ways and my parish has always been open to adjusting how we do fundraisers and other such giving events.<br/><br/>We do not attach names to all payments, only for the basic giving commitments formal members have made. This is a spiritual matter as much as it is a financial one, and our priest leads by example every time and gives as much or more than anyone else. Surveillance is not the right word to use, but being a visible member of the community is valuable. I do understand privacy concerns though, (especially in this world).<br/><br/>Being pushy certainly isn&#39;t the goal, and it is not something I&#39;ve seen come up as an issue so your point surprised me a bit. I don&#39;t think my parish is married to taking collections in the middle of service and would be open to change if there was a need, but we haven&#39;t seen the need ourselves.<br/><br/>Also, concerning the verse you quoted in your original post, I don&#39;t think it is as much about giving in secret as it is about not being prideful in what you give. Giving secretly can also be useful, especially if it is an amount that could easily lead to pride. Pretty much every large donation that has ever happened at my Church has been done anonymously for this reason. It&#39;s a balance! 2025-10-20T20:22:26+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrvdl8dlhwxt50g56hze9yj7mgc5y838nds6rh4gmsv3plyn9uasgzyzpyt53g0ldfw8nlxcz392c3khz6j6a0ts5vmnl5mf4mx37j0g2gz4e365x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswrzp0l98hjg4p0srs6tkfwd7nwlfdf4tqwjmpkgxl67un2ejtyyqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsv5l6ct'>nevent1q…l6ct</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I pass the collection basket around at my Church. I&#39;ve done it for years. I was on our parish ministry council for years. I&#39;ve never heard of one person complain about feeling bad they were unable to give at that time. I&#39;ve never heard of one person feel left out for this reason.<br/><br/>Nobody can see how much you put in, only if you put anything in. Do you think the same criticism you have couldn&#39;t apply to a offering basket at the entrance? If you are very concerned about other people, you could watch and see who does and does not give.<br/><br/>Giving is also not totally anonymous. There is a basic commitment to give you fill out at my Church to become a member. Obviously you can give more than that, or less if you can&#39;t. But it is a named commitment.<br/><br/>It can also serve as a reminder for other people to give. It gives children a chance to give and participate in the service. My Church, until a recent surge in attendance, struggled with finances off and on. If we made even less of an effort to make opportunities for people to give our situation may have been even worse.<br/><br/>Do you feel the same way about a special offerings taken at the end of liturgy? Or only the one in the middle?<br/><br/>It is a fair point you make, but I disagree. 2025-10-20T04:58:15+02:00
