TIL centralized platforms are ackshually better for freedom of speech and censorship resistance than open protocols… Kind reminder that censorship happens “gradually, then suddenly.” https://i.nostr.build/JITr8tx44wKwOYJ2.jpg
What??? 🤣🤣🤡
Coming from the guy who charges ghetto payday loan rates to custody your bitcoin What a ridiculous take
Parker is off base on this take but a few points: 1. He hasnt worked at Unchained for over a year 2. You posted Unchained's loan rates for BTC based fiat loans not their custodial fees (which are more than an order of magnitude lower)
I was wondering how was @ODELL s relationship with Parker rn and here we go 😂 https://fountain.fm/episode/ZOd9fLH3VmlIKUQ5nPk6
I love Parker but this argument makes no sense at all. Thats like saying you can censor individual miners, and thus Wyoming is better than Bitcoin because they are actively trying to make a reliable, freedom focused legal system.
Tell me you’re joking about today I learned. You must be https://media.tenor.com/XTeABFreqHoAAAAC/sue%C3%B1itosgifs-traumatized-mr-incredible.gif
Yes, because Elon was so successful is pushing back on Brazil. Shfh 🤦🏻 nostr:nevent1qqs2ut6m3r5ymzvcwerelllp0xkzwrqsh6662sll27sd06p8d7q2axspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsvfr3f7p95stxqrjslnmuvsmhcxxxqt8swjdfjx5tz7zq0yms5cygrqsqqqqqpxcna9m
Yes. What happens when the CEO is gone, or becomes compromised? It’s a huge single point of failure. It doesn’t end well.
Besides the fact that Xitter is just a malignant propaganda machine supported by the lowest quality advertising ever produced.
I like nostr. It’s not corporate controlled and has a grassroots feel. Nostr delivers on free speech. But speech without reach is more of a whisper. Nostr is a safe fall back refuge and it is critically important. But contributions on the frontlines in the battle between X and censorship are, in my view, worthwhile as well.
We don't know what we don't know. I don't know all of the different types of censorship Elon won't push back against, how much veto power he really has, or when he'll get a phone call from a lawyer that causes him to do a 180. I'll take my chances with a protocol. As for Mr. Lewis, many hands make light work, and I'm not aware of a fee that gets levied for copying and pasting one's tweets to Nostr. nostr:nevent1qqs2ut6m3r5ymzvcwerelllp0xkzwrqsh6662sll27sd06p8d7q2axsprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj730qgsvfr3f7p95stxqrjslnmuvsmhcxxxqt8swjdfjx5tz7zq0yms5cygrqsqqqqqpx6a6pa
LOLOL… what a shit take. By that logic, fiat is MUCHO superior to bitcoin, because they have an infinite amount of money to manifest into “power”. “Founders”? It’s literally one of the biggest things that makes bitcoin unique. This is a giant red flag against Parker. He either doesn’t get it, or he doesn’t give a shit about how/why bitcoin leads to freedom. Either way, avoid. For the record, I’ve had a couple of conversations with him. He’s no dummy - but a HELL of a marketer. We talked over strategies for him to sell his book. There are no heroes.
I got banned on X for saying retard
