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


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.


What custody business do you refer to ?

I’m stealing a quote from someone who shall remain nameless:

“Gradually, then dumber”

Awful take by Parker.


Okay, then i just use Nostr with my mobile browser.
What they wanna do?
Censoring Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Firefox? 🤔


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)


Yes. What happens when the CEO is gone, or becomes compromised? It’s a huge single point of failure. It doesn’t end well.


:turtlehappy:


Besides the fact that Xitter is just a malignant propaganda machine supported by the lowest quality advertising ever produced.


yeah I tried to steelman this one but failed. it just doesn't make any sense.


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.


...say you love godkings without saying you love godkings...lol


How are individual apps censorable?


How many people got wrecked from loan rates and thereby lost their #bitcoin to unchained and or Parker?   That is my point

Not a great idol IMO


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.

If people really think that Uncle Sam won't "Jack Ma" Elon when they get desperate, they aren't really paying attention.


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.


Yeah… not a very well thought out argument…


I got banned on X for saying retard


I was wondering how was nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx s relationship with Parker rn and here we go 😂
