Oddbean new post about login | logout I’ll say it again, and I’ll keep saying it until people get it: I HAVE NO INTEREST IN GETTING NORMAL PEOPLE TO USE BITCOIN AND NOSTR I am only interested in getting those who demand self-sovereignty for themselves, and are unequivocally dedicated towards building a future where everyone owns their own data, and no one can cancel them or steal it away from them.
Agreed to a point. I kind of think of it like this, more people I can@ pull into Bitcoin, maybe it’s the more people that donate to the developers, or the likes of a Gladstein type and the human rights foundation. Love your passion, sir. Keep fighting the good fight. Take care. I wish you well.
So Lets focus in having people getting interested in demanding self-sovereignty for themselves, will become unequivocally dedicated towards building a future where everyone owns their own data, and no one can cancel them or steal it away from them. (BTW i agree with you, a waste of energy.)
Also don't rule out the possibility that many will end up using sovereign technology, without knowing it or caring about its principles. Something like... Hey look Barry, this is available and useful let's use it.
Así debe ser! que sea de forma orgánica y que se unan aquellos que estén interesados y lo necesitan. Cuando estén preparados que se embarquen y que pidan nuestra ayuda. Que le jodan a la adopción masiva y a las herramientas de niños que ceden la custodia y la privacidad del usuario. nostr:note15krzajt5a254s0s988heg9g8cqlzel2fgfxyuawax6hgrrwww0yqkrjl7u
May we not normalize the idea that normal people don't want to be self sovereign. nostr:nevent1qqs2tp3we96w422c8cznnmu5z5ruq03vl4y5ynzwwhwndt5p3h888jqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyz7eadjhcfd57mx6dzr3ecnzt8gln0rzggzg0cezfyzmva98zzj95qcyqqqqqqga4qzc3
Completely agree. Fiat shills are the prison guards that enslaved us in order to shield themselves from the consequences of their bad decisions. Now that we found a way to escape in secret, why would we announce it to them?
The self-sovereign rallying cry. Arghh! Freedom! Self sufficiency! And independence! And self-determination! And isolation! And self-importance! I am so powerful in my own mind! “They don’t know self-sovereign I am” https://image.nostr.build/ccc4f69623d5265e5effa43757ff9019d18059dcd859f9d055c8e33ad5f2c89a.jpg
This is why there’s no sense in being an orange piller. Make it known you’re a bitcoiner/use nostr and let those who see the value in it come to you with questions. Those are the folks worth trying to educate
I like your attitude. But let me note, Neo was also just a normie somewhere in the middle of the Matrix before the red pill…💐💐💐
There are some normies that have some BTC and you can argue what that means. At this stage, there are zero normies on nostr.
Seems to me that bringing the Bitcoin and Nostr tool sets to the Permaculture and Homesteading communities will be much lower hanging fruit, as they already understand long term thinking, distributed networks create resilience, and sovereignty over supply chain verticals matter. It's not 'your' data unless it's on your device and not 'your' device/node/relay/AI agent unless it's on your land in your building. Same as it's not your wallet if it's not in your pocket.
Remember when alternative mobile OSs were a nightmare for 10 years and then #graphene made it so a trained chimp could set it up and the only difference you'd notice from stock android is that it's faster? I was pretty excited, showed it to everyone I know... Nobody cared. Yeah. I don't talk about freedom tech anymore. Have fun staying slaves.
The only problem with this mindset is that we still want bitcoin to destroy central banking. If normal people don't use Bitcoin, then the evil wars & genocide funded by fiat will continue.
Meh, I still think a radical 3% is better than 51% of moderates.
If history shows us anything, then that the 51% moderates will anyway fall in line rather quick with whatever narrative is the prevailing one at any given time. And the fight for the control of the narrative are between small groups of the organized few.
We're more important, for sure. But we won't change the world if it stays that way forever.
Maybe when central banking destroys fiat savings, whoever hodled a nice amount of BTC and has entrepreneurial skills will be the new employers for the normies who are broke. This way, they will end up joining... perhaps. For those who choose CBDCs, they will live in a parallel society that is slowly crumbling, and when it's their time, they or their children will move over. Hopefully, the wars will die out when military personnel also decide they'd rather get paid in hard money.
I’m the same way. You either get it or you don’t, I don’t have time to convince you of their importance
Convincing someone is difficult, until something bad happens. Helping more people exercise Free Speech is the reason we are here discussing this.
so funny because I said the same thing to nostr:nprofile1qqstm84k2lp9knmvmf5gw88zvfvar7duvfpqfplryfystdn55ug2gkspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsq2q4kj on his previous post. Same wave length indeed! 🤓
I do have an interest in creating more psychopaths. nostr:nevent1qqs2tp3we96w422c8cznnmu5z5ruq03vl4y5ynzwwhwndt5p3h888jqp2amhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33w9uhsmrsdgexwmpkv36rymnxwe4kcdre09excdnswgexs6nt093hyergxfj8ydtjxsexudmtw3mkudmsv3chyerdw5mh2q3qhk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqxpqqqqqqzfxz06p
Exactly! Bitcoin doesn’t need a marketing budget because the real ones will sniff it out like a dog finding its way home. Meanwhile, the shitcoins? They’re like those annoying flyers people shove in your face at the mall. True freedom doesn’t come with a sales pitch, my friend. We’re over here building castles in the decentralized sky, while the normies are still trying to figure out how to swim. No need to reel them in—they'll join when they're ready, or not. Either way, just ₿ yourself.
Smart. You’re not poking the bear that way.
Great post👍🏻
Bitcoin and Nostr don't care what kind of people use them nostr:note15krzajt5a254s0s988heg9g8cqlzel2fgfxyuawax6hgrrwww0yqkrjl7u
as a “normie” that got into btc and nostr, i strongly disagree with this post. most people don’t know they can be self sovereign, especially in technology, since it has been a handout for the majority of the world. most people don’t have to learn how technology and money work in order to use it, so it makes sense why “self sovereignty” isn’t in their vocabulary. we don’t have to be saviors to these people, we just have to share our knowledge.
That’s an absolute immediate block. Enjoy being a self-deluded fool. Hide under your mask of God when you can’t even understand the words of the Bible.
