 think @jack might be delusional bros. i wonder if he thinks promoting nostr cancels it all out. https://image.nostr.build/e93e837c785424b49879a11cd599c19a9d6600d2ef99be73f66dee66e4f3d51a.jpg  nostr:note1xjv05zsmdtrf5ysykux947ruxwla7zz2vp28r4ryjuwjlem502aqxymdp6

 We don't know how hard it must have been to be in that position, and he's not like Musk, maybe he did the best he could. The important thing is that he changed and promoted nostr and IMO is trying to do good with the conditions and skills he has. Let's not start crucifying someone because of their past actions. People can change, billionaires or not.

 no he is still the same, weak-willed person and acts the same way today. watch how square will never let ppl do commerce in bitcoin despite having a bitcoiner CEO. 

it is much more important that we have strong men that always stand for their principles than it is to larp about solutions that could one day let you stand for your principles.

 Listen to the first episode of the money matters podcast. Not saying Jack is right for what he did but understanding the position he was in can help explain why he is helping build nostr in this way.
