 Anything's possible. The internet was created by #DARPA. I go by the technology. Is it good. Is it useful. Does it fix a problem.

The #Nostr technology seems good. The evolution of social media and the internet. That's all that really concerns me.

#Bitcoin is much the same. The evolution and perfection of hard money, and not a minute to soon..๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿ—ฝ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒŽ

 it is a classic misdirection used by statists always to attribute great inventions to the government when scientists who were being paid by the government made the discoveries

this is the same false argument that some bitcoin maxipads like to use against people who are working in association with shitcoin projects, it's lazy thinking, and untrue

the people bumble into their position and the genius is granted by God, and inevitably sometimes that is gonna happen with extortion money and scam profits equally as any other source, probably the bias is more towards this kind of mechanism because the fiat profit chasing VCs are looking for the things that they can launch, then sell off before they start to incur maintenance costs
