Four said it pretty well.
What I think is, if you meet someone with a 75% compatibility, it could be as good as it gets, as statistically it could take you several lifetimes to find a >90%. In this lifetime, that guy could be in Mongolia and 30y older or younger than you, or could have even reincarnated as a woman. Work with the 75% guy. But, I know that if we are destined to be with someone, we alway come back close enough to meet and have a relationship. Just, it is never meant to be a heavenly one. Generally, in order to find yourself back here, you've got thing to work out, so there will be stuff to iron out, and someone you have a perfect time with might actually be a time waster and you might have to come back yet another time. Don't run away from the difficulties, it makes it worse in the long run.
I have never spent money on any of that nonsense and a million other stupid things, ever, and I still cannot afford to buy even $500 worth of #Bitcoin. If billionaires need me to take credit and buy bitcoin at $60000, when they bought it at $1 because they were already rich back then, that is shady. It won't change my life for the better even if it goes to $1m. What is it then, if not a ponzi? Poor cucks who are in the same boat as me, but simp to a pipe dream, are doing the work of the devil. Nostr is fantastic, but stacking sats to get rich is low IQ.

This is why I love #Nostr, it can be an echo chamber, but it is not, because I can be me. Fuck everyone and their peer pressure tactics. Paint me a loser, unfollow me, that is like closing your eyes and ears. Long live #Nostr and freedom of speech.

Neutrality is ideal, but her point is that they are citing 'regulatory concerns, which means that govs and politics still dictate the money flow, so decetralization is a pipe dream.
I have tried it, having spent years in the Ethereum ecosystem, dealing with smart contracts, crypto-native remote-only global DAOs, online reputation, voting...
It is full of scammers. In the end nothing good comes out of it. Everyone is in it for the easy money.
Unfortunately, everything is joined at the hip. Fractional reserve banking, or more so fictional reserve banking. Money from Bitcoin went in Ethereum and that opened Pandora's box with all the other shitcoin scams. See, if I deployed a smart contract for a new token with a total supply of 1bn, kept a decent amount for myself, and partnered with my scammy frens at the crypto exchange to list the token with a limited circulating supply, I can pamp it by buying a few for say $1 a coin and lure retail on crypto twitter with sockpuppet accounts promoting the scam as something amazing. Idiots start buying and my vaporware token has now got a market cap of billions of dollars. I start cashing out.. It is all hot air, market making (wash trading), social media psy ops... VCs are in on this.
It is a Pandora's box. Who is human, who isn't. A whole game theory of tokenized voting systems, quadratic voting, futarchy, sybil resistance, malicious actors, power games, and in the end there are always unhappy people. The whole thing would only suck fund money to waste time and money on dead ends. Some larpers pretending to be smart and buillding the future will get rich while kicking the can, without useful results.
Let's try, I will supoort any effort, but I've lived it, and I have a bad aftertaste.
There is information asymmetry, some are better informed, others less. Many collectives have intentional information silos, so those in power can stay in power. Others use radical transparency, which is better, but then everyone has a different skill sets and Dunning-Kruger types start wasting everybody else's time. You don't need democracy and everyone to vote on everything. There are ways to make decentralized yet focused and efficient dev teams, but those are never implemented because from a guy who gets funding and is his own boss, you turn into an equal and judged by others. Peer review is hated by the ego, everybody tries to avoid it. If there is any voting, my number one priority would be complete anonymity, not even commit-reveal schemes.

Also, post honeypots that only bots can see, and when they engave with them (which regular useds won't do as they won't see them) ban them.
Indeed. There are marketing techniques that leverage the brain's dopamine response to create anticipation and excitement, driving consumer behavior. The carrot 🥕.
Addicts are easy victims.
Crypto, bitcoin, easy money, you can buy anything you want, cars, girls, vacations...
It is all the devil's work.
