Its evident through his own comms that Satoshi was paranoid, that Satoshi was a cryptographer, that Satoshi was displeased with central bankers and the federal reserve as an entity that should not be trusted to be a responsible party with currency (anarchist in a sense).

So Satoshi Nakamoto was essentially what nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m is calling a “Paranoid Crypto-Anarchist.”

Saylor knows this clearly, he would be an imbecile otherwise.

IMO Saylor is making a “hard left” on what bitcoin represents and the people it was specifically designed to serve because:

One:
Exchanges holding a majority of bitcoin enables them to manipulate the price, thereby enabling Saylor and the like to buy at discounts. Because they buy such vast quantities at a time this matters a lot. When the exchanges are only able to hold a minimal amount bitcoin, their ability to manipulate price is significantly reduced.￼

Two:
Saylor has been tapped on the shoulder, and therefore his song and dance will now be along the lines of this interview going forward.￼

I’m pretty sure the No. 1 thing that keeps Bill Gates up at night his name on Epsteins list (and PDiddys?)


The real concern from my perspective isn’t even that people can ask Apple to do it for whatever reason, it’s that Apple has the capability of even doing it.


If #pdiddy just stayed humble and stacked sats, the world would be better for it.

Bitcoin maximalism is like Yosemite Sam, and I am very okay with that.

Maybe one could be thankful to the ReplyGuys. Expended some money, time, and energy into shifting the focus to basic internet problems that were not being given the attention they deserved in the #nostr ecosystem. Spam bots need to be addressed if you want your Nostr to have a hard body to go along with your hard money #bitcoin https://media.tenor.com/S_DL1I17n1sAAAAC/pumping-iron-arnold-schwarzenegger.gif

It can provide the breathing room for time, acquiring good talent, enabling space to focus. Angel investors and grants can provide the means for R&D to produce a good MVP, but nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m youve obv done this before. The talent is out there clearly. The projects are live and being worked on continuously. Is that what these projects frustrating you are missing?


He’s finally off of the Adderral.


All the devs behind  #nostr clients want them to be better. As users, most of us ae rooting for you all.l to make it better. What are the biggest constraints?


If you change your underpants twice a day you might be a shitcoiner


I forget what this “eat ze bugs” nazi’s name is, but does anyone else think he looks like a turtle without its shell?


🫡 Any “regulation” that Bitcoin needs has already been described in the White Paper. Nothing more to regulate beyond that.


Shower thought:
For fun, and on a low time preference trajectory, #Bitcoiners should start psyop’ing #commies into thinking free market capitalism is communism.

Use words like “comrade,” talk about how free markets are decentralized, reframe language like how the free market is just a “collective effort,” how financial freedom is “liberating the working class.”

Anyways, https://media.tenor.com/3HjioVqK2ZwAAAAC/happy.gif


I dunno. It worked out pretty well for the Winklevoss bros. They complained Zuck jacked them, lawyered up, and got paid $$$


I dont know about being obligated, but the right and ability to point it out without being censored is there. #bitcoin and #nostr are for our “enemies” too. Comes with open-source territory.


That (censoring) is happening at the client level. Personally I have no expectations for all clients to be censorship resistant. All that matters is the protocol is censorship resistant for the all encompassing clients (w/o censorship) to build atop #nostr


Reply Guys are probably just nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 psyop’ing devs into improving #nostr


💯maybe neat to eat them sparingly of you must, but there is no must for this scenario


Even the weather for any random location. Spammers have no common courtesy.


Its like when a carnivore deletes pasta and garlic bread.


Why would commies want to be on the nostr?


So your new premise is now a hypothetical scenario where all capable nostr software developers are “disappeared” and therefore no single person is left use the protocol to build a new client or relaunch an old one?

Again, this is retarded Sir. You are clearly trolling.


I think it is canceled. Apparently it turns out that #bitcoin is able to be confiscated. All the authorities have to do is censor and shut down the et apps. Can’t believe this weakness slipped through the cracks.

😂


Sir, these are nearly the same arguments made against #bitcoin since 2009. Quite literally speaking, both #nostr and bitcoin were specifically and painstakingly designed to not be censored.

I say this as gently and respectfully as possible, these “what if” arguments are retarded.


You’re being too kind Lopp. Just call a spade a spade, they are literally retarded.


So this Lewis kid is essentially saying that #Bitcoin (#nostr) wont make it because wallet apps (clients) and companies behind then can be censored? This is retarded in a bad way.

When Taleb started talking nonsense about bitcoin, I was certain all his books were written by a ghostwriter.

Now with this Lewis kid, the likelihood that his book was also ghostwritten is higher than the likelihood it was not.

Fucking onward! 🫡


There are some people here that would rather spend three days on nostr scorching the earth that is a minuscule bitcoin and #open-source #grant giving process/industry and start from scratch, just so they don’t have to fill out 5 questions about what they have done and what they intend to do.

To each their own, but if these folks want money without answering questions, they are not looking for grants, they are looking for gifts.

If such a gift giving place exists, I would love to apply. Seriously.


The #process seems simple enough:

Is there a list of trusted mints to add to enuts? The one that came by default a whole back wont work anymore. Would like to add a couple mints.


nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev must have some serious Bitcoin bags to have El Tucker slap his name on the show as a sponsor like that. Way to go Guy


BREAKING NEWS:

Interesting. Must listen now for all the good details. 🤘

The "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" is a lecture series by John Vervaeke that explores the modern crisis of meaning, despair, and disconnection that many people are experiencing. Here are the key points about it:

The meaning crisis refers to the increasing sense of meaninglessness, bullshit, disconnection from self, others, the world, and a viable future that people are feeling today.[2] This is tied to crises in mental health, environment, politics, and culture.

Vervaeke argues this crisis stems from the breakdown of our "two-worlds mythos" - the worldview separating the everyday world from a higher-order, truer reality that gave meaning and purpose. This mythos arose from the Axial Age revolutions but is no longer tenable in our modern scientific worldview.[4]

To solve the meaning crisis, Vervaeke aims to re-engineer enlightenment and wisdom within a scientific framework, allowing us to cultivate self-transcendence, insight, and deep meaning again.[4] This involves addressing our "perennial problems" - the vulnerabilities that make us susceptible to meaninglessness.

A key part is Vervaeke's theory of "Relevance Realization" - the cognitive machinery that helps us skillfully connect and cohere with reality in a participatory way to make sense of our experiences and find relevance.[4][5]

The series draws from ancient figures like Socrates and the Buddha, as well as modern thinkers like Jung and Heidegger, to provide a coherent path for awakening from the meaning crisis through rational reflection and transformation.[2][3]

He is visibly shook. The foundation for his logic on why he hasnt supported Bitcoin foss is very shakey and he is smart enough to know that.


Def a BS answer.


Lol. CCP all over it.


Its now a legitimate scam.


Not necessarily carbon neutral, Vitalik releases tons of gas.


Its market cap is big enough and it “gave away” enough eth early enough to enough retard SF tech heads to support enough bribes to keep it going.

Wow 🤩


Fallout on Prime is pretty cool.


Most devs/tech ppl I’ve known are a bit dense and not too keen on what is “cutting edge”. Especially if someone else turns them on to it. The small groups of them who are, are eyeballs deep in #bitcoin and #nostr, building out the future to which ppl like ur friend will eventually benefit from.

I recently shared nostr with a talented UX/UI dev. He’d never heard of it. I sent him a link to the nostr github repo, a link to one of Max Websters write-ups on nostr, a text message saying “Nostr is the internet’s renaissance.”

Over a week and I’ve heard nothing back.

Plant the seeds, we must.

🌱


The universe is seemingly organized in a way where just as the #reptilian overlords of earth are about to gain overwhelming control over human beings, some one or group of people creates something completely novel (#bitcoin in modern case) that rips their prospects for total control out of their claws. Over and over again throughout recorded history.

Triggered. See?


Bitcoin and Nostr, although they seem like a large enough group (devs and contributors) is still relatively minuscule in the grand scheme of things (software industry). I’m not disagreeing with anyone here, but simply pointing out that as a result of how small Bitcoin and Nostr still are, it is expected that people and projects will overlap (like a small town where the sheriff os also the town dentist, lol). In any case, people get too fucking triggered too fucking fast. Calm down, the truth always reveals itself. Embrace low time preference, and keep shipping, or shitting, the choice is yours. 🧡🧡

They could, but it’s unlikely they set up and run a tech focused non-profit organization to make donations to.


Most independent devs either dont, wont, or cant do it (admin processes). They would rather get long term grants over donations. However, the truth is inevitable. 🐇


I’ll say this with what is known thus far, I believe Saylor cock blocking FOSS devs working on Bitcoin from getting $$$ is a strategic business move typically used against competition. Imagine yourself to be Saylor… why would you have a back channel conversation with a huge prospective donor to dissuade them from donating to an organization that supports a particular, niche, small subset of software developers?


But if ARK funds a core dev directly, then how will ARK use what they funded as a tax deduction when the core dev is unlikely to have set up the proper corporate structure to enable such a transaction?


As a non-developer, I would like to judge those non-developers you have been arguing with as retarded in a bad way.


Saylor said he is creating a significant bitcoin software development arm within MicroStrategy. His company has already been in the SaaS business. It would be within his wheelhouse to provide bitcoin related SaaS to big banks and financial firms.


Seems like a good print ad for Bitkey


If ur a software as a service provider, you make $$$ from your licensees and customers via “maintenance” after the initial sale and install is done, so they like that. Maintenance is recurring (MRR/ARR) whereby upgrades, not so much.

Guys you dont have to go too deep, no they dont actually understand how software works because they’re retarded in the bad way.


Which part? Luke got one of his big corn stacks jacked (using all DIY methods to store). Freaked out, tagged and alerted the FBI on Twitter, and the rest his history.


Could have gotten into a boating accident like everyone else, but no.


It’s heartwarming to me knowing the creator of the #nostr protocol nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is still around and he is a little grumpy.

Why do everybody has to see everything? This makes no sense and is not scalable. You just put your stuff in some servers such that others who are interested in them can go and ask those servers.


Also, methamphetamines are just bad for you, period. Don’t rush through life kids! Stop and smell the roses 🌹


Those guys are everywhere, literally.


🎯 “Having said that, Saylor is of course free to not upgrade anymore and stick to Bitcoin Core 26.0 for as long as he lives.”


Not sure why nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m cock blocking bitcoin open source devs getting funding is such a mystery to people on Twitter… MicroStrategy has started a bitcoin software development and services arm to their business and wants to license the software and services (Bitcoin-as-a-Service) to institutions. He sees having more open well-funded source core devs a threat to that model.


Best next move for competition/rivals of Microstrategy is to begin allocating a large portion of their annual donations to non-profit #Bitcoin FOSS orgs like nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f, Brink, and HRF.
