you're just repeating stuff you've read online. there is no direct corollation between NGU and censorship resistance. one metric is a fiat measurement of buying power. largely driven by speculative investment by degens. the other metric is a complex matrix of technical and social factors. many of those factors are *against* censorship resistance when number goes up. Sorry nuanced argument on social media. won't happen again.

look friends NGU == censorship resistance its so simple. how could anyone not understand this simple formula... no I cant explain it to you 😂 nostr:nevent1qqsw3hu9gyajqgsrsjrp662amjmq7hyj3lflwuxefnjv3jalzrfynagpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzyqt0rgqsp4x0l77vggcw3c8y9yxvtpyurtwxf4n98ldq0sp3kyr5kqcyqqqqqqgvca2lc

Tell me you don't know a Satoshi quote when you see one without telling me. NGU means more hodlers... More hodlers means more people have skin in the game. More people with skin in the game means more nodes. More nodes means harder to censor. It's not hard to follow. If you humble yourself just a bit, maybe you would consider you can learn something from someone else, instead of thinking you know it all. Tell me why you think NGU means censorship resistance goes down. Btw, it's going up forever, because fiat is going to zero and technology decreases marginal cost of production to zero. I think you're projecting with your snarky comment. HappyTavern is me. Just me. Whose built a nostr relay implementation? Who runs 3 nostr relays? Who has a front end to study Bitcoin? Who built a front end for interacting with a self custody liquid node? Who built an android app for tracking BTC. Who open sources all of it? Me. So if you think you fucking know it all, why don't you show me the vast portfolio of shit you built for freedom tech. Huh Mr self custody maxi? I will never know everything about Bitcoin. And I'm eager to listen to those who came before that have inspired me and colleagues who build. But I sure as shit know a lot more than you. nostr:nevent1qqswtxecgf42ksfpvskamqkzhgqm95hnedkvpzgk8sda6sgx7emeddgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgs0npwnpyvheqz7zuvuwvv9k460c0hyqlturds40hhfn34vufvehwcrqsqqqqqppsj4yh

Satoshi said it dude. You're just quoting it out of acute self-righteoussness and appeal to authority. And the follow up with a suoer defensive "ackqually I do real cypherpunk shit" Now. More Michael Saylor normie hodlers means more ass kissing to tradfi and seeking approval from the legacy system. The legacy system WILL NOT ACCEPT bitcoin as censorship' resistant. For example Heres Andreas on why bitcoin ETFs are a bad idea. He says a lot in a few minutes, as always. I'm all for new users and increased purchasing power. But NOT institutions aligned with tradfi or custodians. You new bitcoiners who think any and all raw adoption is a net benefit do NOT recognize ro downplay the danger of regulatory capture of the network. Which is already happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSv0J4bfBCc

You're right it is quite different. I used a quote because it fit in the context. You actually appealed to authority... I did make a debate. All you've done is appeal to authority. I made two points. All you've said is you don't like rich people in Bitcoin, and that's somehow decreases its censorship resistance. Seems to me like you're a 💩 coiner, who doesn't actually run a node. If you did you would understand how Bitcoin actually worked, and why what you're saying makes no sense.

My man. You have a lot of accomplishments. Me? I can barely keep my solo miner disconnecting from wifi. Running my own node… with skin in the game 🤜 I preface this because I do adorn you. If this guy gets you cranked all up. I think it may be time to touch grass and catch a wave 🤷🏼

lol your "hoping he sees the light" get over yourself nostr:nevent1qqsw3hu9gyajqgsrsjrp662amjmq7hyj3lflwuxefnjv3jalzrfynagpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzyqt0rgqsp4x0l77vggcw3c8y9yxvtpyurtwxf4n98ldq0sp3kyr5kqcyqqqqqqgvca2lc
