Bitcoin definitely shines a bit less bright as freedom money in my mind and makes me doubt it usefulness for freedom in the long run.

My first thought was, &#34;this is stupid&#34;. I shared my thoughts and got a lot of pushback saying how inconsequential the hash contributed would be. That no one solo mining as a node runner would find a block. And so on. My thought, who cares? I want to be able to mine with my gpu or cpu. Why am I gate-kept? It should be my choice how and what I chose to deploy to participate in the network. Yes, single pleb is inconsequential, you might get a lucky Chad here and there. But that is not the point. The point is the aggregated hash from each node runner having a voice and hash in the mining process. It never made sense to me why nodes do not just come with the option, a simple switch, that marks my active or denial of participation in the mining game. 2026-08-05T03:20:26Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswx3mc7x799jm0gysggwju5zyu35gjpxnydvta2kfwela6y4vwwpgzypcdjry52udfxcscghusd9dlmtc7ejutk5zcazm8pygk23fttc9ksdsgl8u <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcnphf7k" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…hf7k</span>)</a></span> is Wisp out in the app store yet? 2026-08-04T02:58:55Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszgh5yhe209zamw07vwynm033fy6zy4x40vr4v5n4q7tmmf2u8h4szypcdjry52udfxcscghusd9dlmtc7ejutk5zcazm8pygk23fttc9ksnpe0ny I feel like all this Coldcard situation needs to be captured in a meme/maxim to reflect the lesson of this painful moment.

I definitely will argue, and believe, that unknowingly, they have fallen victim to the fiat incentives wrapped in bitcoin language. Their bitcoin media companies all work and operate with the same incentives and structures as fiat media companies ( they still end up click bating you and getting sponsors that they cannot criticize). People think that by just creating bitcoin content they are magically unaffected by fiat incentives, and that is wrong as we are clearly seeing it come to light in this cycle. Bitcoin gives you the tool for you to have the time and space to start moving away from the fiat incentive structure. But it is a choice that has to be made and the gains cannot be measured in fiat terms anymore (algo dominance, conference access, etc.). We need to re-discover what is success and how it is measured outside the fiat incentive structure. 2026-07-31T22:58:14Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszfrtlrqyfr7v5jmf037llul6da792fqtuw3r37pv0pq6peanezrqzypcdjry52udfxcscghusd9dlmtc7ejutk5zcazm8pygk23fttc9ksg0wsdn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszmlh5u9svexd76j9wpurp4d07fjvqnxytx8rljw7eyfvzm8rkvsgfkmxsy'>nevent1q…mxsy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Damn, dude.
