Great point. I always thought they were kind of tapping into the "it's all just a video game" kind of vibe, but you are so right because even in the matrix universe this is just an abstraction because if you die in the matrix you die IRL.

There is definitely also a hot war kind of mentality as well and as you point out, everyone who is still plugged in is essentially an agent. They also only kill indiscriminately when there is a greater threat of agents.

I think as I've gotten older and also as I've gotten closer to God, I now find myself questioning the morality of any war movie including WWII movies like saving private Ryan, which also came out in a similar time period. But that was not my mental frame at the time.

In 1934, the US government passed Executive Order 6102 to seize gold held by Americans. If you think something like that can't happen today, think again

Custodial platforms can be forced to comply with government orders like the banks were back then

Here’s why:

90 years ago, a recently elected FDR faced a desperate and struggling economy. The president chose to villainize gold savers as ‘hoarders’ and seized their gold in an effort to fix the economy. All gold stored in banks was seized, however, most privately held gold was not.

https://m.primal.net/LhFt.jpg

When your bitcoin is held on an exchange, it’s not truly yours. The keys are controlled by a third party, which means it can be frozen or seized at any time

Check those terms and conditions 👀

Any exchange is one election and one bill away from having its bitcoin seized

The beauty of Bitcoin lies in its decentralized nature and the fact you can securely self-custody. When you hold your own keys , nobody can take your bitcoin. Self-custody is freedom and the only way to ensure your bitcoin stays yours.

History serves as a cautionary tale. Just as gold was seized in the past, bitcoin held on exchanges could face a similar fate. A mere 5% interest is NOT worth the risk of losing all your bitcoin. Self-custody your bitcoin and secure your future 🔐

It’s good to be a paranoid crypto anarchist!

I think in general bitcoiners who push back the hardest are the ones who know how terrible the government has been historically at "social services" but I don't necessarily think that progressive bitcoiners are endorsing current wealth distribution mechanisms as a perfect system.

My thoughts for better messaging from progressive bitcoiners would be to highlight the problems with current social systems (like broken money and broken incentives), propose actionable solutions and point out how justice and equality are literally just promoting freedom and consistent rules for everyone.

I've been thinking a lot about this for a while now and I think that a lot of people struggle with this because the definition of a "progressive" is not well understood and I think a lot of people have wildly different definitions or conceptions about what it means to be a progressive.

Would you mind sharing your concept or definition?

We'll see. I actually think simply downsizing the NRC staff would help a lot. Maybe Elon will give them the axe 😂


I like this take. 👍


NGL, we'd be literally crushed by the boot of nuclear regulation.

It's actually sickening the amount of over regulation that is going on in nuclear right now (and for the last 50 years). We spend way too much time on our knees in front of the NRC.

Sentiment for nuclear can get as high as ever, but without major reform in the NRC, we'll continue to build 1-2 plants a decade at best.


Ah good thought to compare inflows to volume. I guess I am underestimating the amount of trading that is actually going on.  Still seems crazy to me that so much is coming in on net (at least for the ETFs) without significant price appreciation, but obviously I don't know enough about these market dynamics.

Thanks for your thoughts!


Well, there were $249M in ETF inflows alone yesterday and the price dropped. There has been billions in inflows for the ETFs alone in the last week...

How much do you think they are selling? Kinda seems like coordinated price suppression to me.

Dear ECB,

All fixed assets go up forever against fiat and credit based money that expand indefinitely. You're correct that this makes it harder to acquire these assets over time; however, that is the fault of the infinitely expanding money supply, not the fixed assets. The only cure for this is to stop infinitely expanding the money supply.

The personal cost of being a paranoid prepper who lives in a fallout shelter and lives on a stockpile of MREs is incredibly high.

The personal cost of being a paranoid crypto anarchist and keeping your sats in cold storage is basically zero.

Do not trust a bank, exchange or government to hold your sats

Not your keys, not your coins.


😂

#petstr https://i.nostr.build/g5m8fsVVSGYCi6mo.jpg


Lol. Opposite of a government shill here. I'm saying self custody your sats in cold storage.


IRL though, there were only extremely selective cases where they raided homes for gold. It was mostly just so they could take all the gold from the banks.

There aren't enough law enforcement agents to ever even come close to go door to door if another 6102 happened.


Chronological feeds are algorithms. It's algo choice and transparency that is important 👍


I'm also waiting for lightning implementations that close channels to offline keys (single or multi sig). I'd feel a lot more comfortable holding more in lightning channels if I knew my sats ultimately would land in cold storage.


Against bitcoiners.  If the government deserved our trust Bitcoin wouldn't exist.  No one's Bitcoin is truly safe unless you hold your own keys.

Oh, nice. This is huge actually.

Since Aqua came out I've been using it to build up to reasonable UTXO sizes before sending to cold storage, but to do it in one hop on chain I was actually using blockstream green + sideswap on a PC over a VPN and THEN sending to Aqua on liquid. This will be a big improvement 🔥


Today I confirmed that someone was on my mutelist probably by mistake (a thorough review of their profile several weeks back showed they had not met my criteria for muting).
I usually take some care with these things, so I can’t figure that out.

My reason for bringing this up is something that has been troubling my mind for a while for going unsaid:

I want to make sure that EVERYONE knows that they are welcome in #nostrbiblestudy as long as they are respectful to the other participants and the spirit of the group, showing up to learn in good faith.
It doesn’t matter if I’ve muted you, by accident or on purpose. It doesn’t matter if we’ve never spoken or if we have had heated arguments. What I hope to accomplish in that room is vastly bigger than my feed, my preferences, or the past. I leave all that outside.

Please join, you are invited.

There is a big difference between simping and voting

Like you do have to try to prevent communists from being elected

Like absolutely I'm gonna try to get Justin Trudeau out, but I'm under no delusions that the other guy is "a good one" and gonna fix everything. He's still gonna print money, steal, lie and murder foreigners

The goal is still to bankrupt them with Bitcoin

But maybe I can slow down the gulag by just a bit

I couldn't agree more! Trump is most likely just the lesser of two evils.

I think he offers better potential upside compared to Kamala with respect to protecting individual freedom, but that's no reason to simp.

They coexist right now. And will continue to coexist until the dollar dies. Bitcoin will speed the collapse, but there are a lot of dumb people, stupid companies and corrupt / retarded governments who will continue to use the dollar until they collapse too.

But it's gonna take time. And thank God for that because we need to get a lot more innocent people on the lifeboat before the whole thing goes down.

Most important thing to remember: PRACTICE GENERATOR SAFETY

Do NOT run it indoors

Do NOT run it in a closed garage

Do NOT exhaust it too close to a wall

DO run it in a well ventilated area (under your porch, in an open garage)

DO chain it up / bike lock it

DO treat it like a live bomb

Most of the deaths from Hurricane Ida directly or indirectly resulted from improper generator use. If you have a CO alarm, make sure the batteries are fresh. It saved my life because our generator vented into the attic from outside and filled the entire house with CO. If we had not had the alarm, I wouldn’t be here today.

Thanks for this great conversation, it was good to hear from some Bitcoin/lightning skepics. Anecdote for me, I use lightning all the time. I've accepted probably 50 donations via lightning for my Bitcoin meetup, I buy and sell (legal) goods and services with lightning all the time. I run a node on start9 and zap with it all the time with NWC (although I use the primal wallet for receiving zaps). I know a lot less about technical privacy, but I believe that lightning & liquid both offer decent privacy and I use liquid via aqua also all the time. Because Bitcoin is the only store of value that I trust, I like that I don't need to use crappy exchanges to try to get XMR or something just to spend.

Fair. And one of my points is that it's not the same democratic party anymore. I don't think the DNC can claim to be "progressive", IMHO the party as a whole has transformed into a regressive and authoritarian party; the party of censorship, war and totalitarian globalist policies that are aimed at funneling money from the bottom to the top.


Unfortunately, support for Israel is largely bipartisan. I think we are transitioning from the war hawks being mostly Republican (leftovers from the early 2000s), to the Democrats being the primary party pushing for war. But AIPAC is everywhere.

Listen to Thomas Massie discuss AIPAC with Tucker to get a window into it.

https://youtu.be/omBSEuFTYEo?si=JLjLiRv-DLVRYzTr


Bitcoin will not end wars, but when the fiat wheels fall off and war needs to be funded with actual tax payers directly, they will become way more unpopular and more difficult to last forever.

Yes, true. Still would be hard for me to recommend to someone new to Bitcoin.  Not a great initial Bitcoin experience to get a few thousand sats stuck in an on-chain wallet because fees went up. Or find out that it doesn't work when they go to pay a lightning invoice.

Still optimistic though, it sounded like lightning was on the roadmap from the interviews I listened to and proton is a great source of new bitcoiners 👍

So I watched the VP debate last night (almost all of it) and it was so refreshing to hear a candidate (Vance) 1) make a real effort to answer the actual questions, 2) give clear well explained rational for answers, 3) be polite and respectful of moderators and opponent.

Given how shaky a start Waltz got off to on the first question, probably Vance did him a favor being so polite and respectful, it kind of calmed him down a bit and I think and his answers got better later on (didn't agree with most of his answers, but at least I could kind of follow the logic to some extent).  But I'm glad he did it anyway.

But after the absolute shit show that was the last two presidential debates, I am glad that Vance (and Waltz to some extent) reset the tone to be much more focused on issues, policies, rationale and clarification of how misleading some of the opposing points were.

I was not really a fan of JD going into the debate, but I have a lot more respect for him now. Waltz would probably be fine with a reasonable candidate, but Harris isn't doing anyone any favors.

If I'm going to use a mobile on-chain wallet I'd go with muun (because lightning interoperability) or nunchuk (with a tapsigner or passphrase). I guess Bitcoin via email is cool, but it's still too early for me to even find an opportunity to use that feature.

So, as it turns out, the real reason that Bitcoin pumps after a halving is because central banks print crazy amounts of money right after every halving.

Gold is better money than fiat, so I find it useful to compare where Bitcoin is at compared to Gold.  Thanks for the zap!


Saylor is a billionaire. He can't imagine a Bitcoin standard and he will never need to. Those of us who are trying to get on zero don't do it because it is easy, we do it because we are desperate...

Like if I can get just a little bit more fiat out of my life and into Bitcoin it gets me just a little bit closer to a life of prosperity. Saylor will never understand that.


I was looking at bitcoin vs gold and noticed that we havent even really come that close to a new ATH in gold terms... new ATH in gold terms should happen around 100k

Some understandable confusion. The backstory is, we created that old key on a server long ago. And forgot about it. Recently we wanted to be more active on Nostr so we create a new key. By the time we remember about the old key we already had a bunch of content on the new key.

So, follow => nostr:npub12ctjk5lhxp6sks8x83gpk9sx3hvk5fz70uz4ze6uplkfs9lwjmsq2rc5ky

Nostr doesn't have key revocation yet. So two important thing, first is we will probably see a lot of keys being lost and recycled with new ones. Second is, for security projects, I don't advise using the posted links to download firmware. Type yourself on the browser (that's true even if we had key revocation or were on other platforms)

I think (based on little to no actual evidence) that spammers ran out of money since "shitcoins on Bitcoin" has ran out of steam and the prior high fee environment forced everyone to be more efficient.

A year ago not even everyone had implemented segwit yet, now exchanges have become much more effective with batching and enabling lightning. Plebs have also come to terms with the fact that on chain is not for coffee and have moved to lightning or liquid.

I normally try my best to dance around the crazy stuff, but I will let it rip every once in a while haha.

Once after spending a bunch of time with my father trying to show him that Bitcoin isn't just for NgU but is a moral imperative. He kept not getting it so right as I was leaving I said, "Look, when you store your wealth in the current financial system you are literally handing it straight to Satan. In Bitcoin your wealth is only controlled by you."

Sometimes it's better to just slap them in the face with the truth, right? 😎

Terrible news. Seems like every time a bitcoiner  encounters a boat they always think to bring the only copy of their seed phrase.

Boating safety should include leaving your seed phrase in a safe place on land.

Also, multisig fixes this.

Bitcoin is everything you don't understand about cryptography, combined with everything you don't understand about money, combined with everything you don't understand about energy, combined with everything you don't understand about exponentials, combined with everything you don't understand about philosophy, combined with everything you don't understand about global liquidity, combined with everything you don't understand about geopolitics, combined with everything you don't understand about physical security, combined with everything you don't understand about...

Bitcoin is going to advance the ball forward for the entire field of cryptography. It's so cool to me that because money can now be fundamentally protected by cryptography all sorts of new hardware and software are being engineered with security as the highest priority.

It seems like everyone has a different definition of inflation these days. I'm just saying that the supply is literally expanding (inflating). The reason for the expansion is not part of the definition.

It also has 100% buy in and everyone even agrees with how to spend it and who gets the new supply. Very different from fiat.

But my point was that Bitcoin supply inflation is NOT theft, because we all agree.


There are contractions in fiat monetary supply, but they are always so painful that they have to print to stave off total economic collapse.

If the block subsidy isn't inflationary, then the market wouldn't react when it gets cut in half... i.e., the halvings are not priced in.


It's subsidizing miners who put downward pressure on the price when they sell newly minted coins to cover cost. It's penalizing hodlers to prop up miners.

But it's also exponentially decreasing over time and there is 100% buy in from all market participants. So it's a lot different than fiat monetary expansion.


If inflation is taxation, and taxation is theft, is the Bitcoin supply inflation that will exist until 2140 (block subsidy) theft?

No. Because the inflation of the Bitcoin issuance schedule is understood and agreed to by all those who voluntarily participate in the network. Thus, not theft because we all agree with how newly minted Bitcoin will be used (subsidize miners) and it's is distributed via proof of work.

⚡⚡500 SATS for REPOSTS

Bitcoin and Nostr embody TRUTH in its purest form.

Revisit the pivotal moments in human history that have led to our current state. The invention of language and the printing press enabled the widespread dissemination of information, unlocking massive human flourishing. The advent of the internet took this to the next level, freeing information from geographical constraints and facilitating global connectivity.

However, our current system is inherently flawed. It relies on humans trusting one another, often from a distance, without any guarantees of authenticity. Humans are notorious for their self-interest and propensity to deceive others when it serves them. This fundamental weakness has led to the proliferation of misinformation, manipulation, and control.

The game-changer lies in the emergence of uncorruptable value transfer protocols, such as Bitcoin. These systems allow us to transcend the need for human trust, instead relying on cryptographic proof and decentralized verification. For the first time, we can follow the value to determine TRUTH, unencumbered by intermediaries, biases, or agendas.

Nostr, as a social protocol, takes this concept further. By incentivizing the creation and dissemination of high-value information, it fosters an ecosystem where truth is rewarded and falsehoods are penalized. This paradigm shift has far-reaching implications, as it enables individuals to make informed decisions, free from the influence of manipulated narratives.

Imagine a world where information is no longer controlled by centralized authorities, and individuals are empowered to seek truth without interference. The potential for human flourishing is boundless. We're on the cusp of a revolution that will redefine the fabric of our society, and it's exhilarating to be part of it.

So pumped to be here with you all ❤❤

As a dad of kids that aren't so young anymore (13, 11 & 7) I've learned that malicious or not kids get hurt and some kids are ass holes.

It gets easier as they get older, but you gotta take it up with your kids, not other peoples kids. Kid gets hurt, make it a teaching moment for them.


Staying humble is just as important as stacking sats.


Yes. Now just stay humble and stack 'em 😎


Now that is a progressive position I can get behind! 🙂


My opinion (as a father of a 7, 11 and 13 y/o, and also someone who knows you from nostr and assuming that you are a good person who is trying to be a good neighbor etc) is that you should be fine to continue the relationship as long as you just keep trying to meet his parents.

Worship God, not religion. Religions are constructed by humans and centralize social power that can be corrupted by evil in much the same way as governments.

Corrupted religious leaders are not interested in bringing people closer to God and drive many away.

I think about it like we (humans) are all 2 parts. Our physical body, which will die and remain on earth, and our spirit which is placed in us while we are in the womb and is intended to move on to heaven after we die.

When I think about Jesus, I think that he too had a human body, but his spirit was God's spirit, not a unique independent spirit like we have.

That same spirit (God's and Jesus's) remains on earth now as the Holy Spirit.


This is excellent, thank you 🙏

Hodlers have been funding bitcoin miners virtually exclusively since 2009 via debasement (supply inflation). It’s a new era where users are going to have to pull their weight.

More likely however, is that like all subsidies, the bitcoin block reward has resulted in an overbuilt industry that will shrink as subsidies dry up. This is healthy.

The way that racism is defined and discussed has changed dramatically over the last 20 years and I honestly think it has been to the detriment to all cultures that have historically been victims of legitimate negative actions because of their race.

Everyone in the world is constantly making judgement calls about the world and other people they encounter. When I don't know someone, I absolutely make guesses about them until I get to know them better.

If I was ever walking through a high crime area and I saw a group of young men with face tattoos, I'm going to assume that they are potentially dangerous. I don't know that for sure, but it's going to be my going in assumption.

According to some definitions of racism, simply being white makes me, by definition, racist because I have had an inherent advantage in life based on my race. I get that that is a thing, and I don't even necessarily disagree, but how does that make me a racist?

These types of definitions make everyone a racist, and a sexist, and an ageist. And when everyone is a racist, it gives cover for people who are actually discriminating based on race. The definition of racism has experienced massive inflation over the last couple of decades.

Racism is not the only example of definitions that have experienced inflation. Language and definitions are critical for people to be able to communicate and understand each other.  After we fix the money, I hope that society can get back to a more stable set of definitions that we all agree to use.

There are a few telegram groups for meetup organizers, if you DM me your telegram handle i can try to get you added to them.

I just hosted the 22nd Western Mass Bitcoin Meetup and here are some things I've learned.

1. Most importantly is consistency. Pick a frequency (most are monthly) and stick to it.
2. Meet your members where they are at in terms of their Bitcoin knowledge. If you are speaking to a group try to answer questions or make points that are technically correct but can be simple enough for new people to understand.
3. Meetup dot com sucks, but it seems to be where almost all the Bitcoin meetups are listed. But definitely check out nostr:npub1ve8qwrlztemdmnh62jffcr0y9m9dpqgqjdg8ufx7gc3qw5wdk74qyv9ka6 for finding local bitcoiners.
4. Be Bitcoin only, but don't be toxic. There is enough toxicity online and very few will come back or continue listening to you about Bitcoin if you aren't polite. It's possible to be firm without being toxic.

Good luck!


It's a meme, a slogan intended to get votes. I do not have any faith in any politician to tangibly improve the lives of US citizens using Bitcoin.

It is, however, good to see the Overton window shift to where presidential candidates are taking about Bitcoin as part of our energy security. It'd be interesting to have all the MAGA people pour into Bitcoin.

If you think about nostr as the future of the Internet, I'd argue that connecting the payment infrastructure (zaps) into the fabric of all future communication is more important for the adoption and expansion of nostr than for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin would be fine without zaps.


Holy fucking shit, at a staff meeting this morning and someone just went on a 5 minute rant about how covid is still out there and no one is taking it seriously anymore and how scared he is about getting it even after a battery of vaccinations.

DMs are how you setup the first in person / phone talk. It's coordination before you establish a more private communication channel.


Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/harbor/

Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.

Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.

Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.

https://m.primal.net/ISqH.png

Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.

https://m.primal.net/ISqJ.png

Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.

https://m.primal.net/ISqK.png

Harbor Automation: Running as a desktop app unlocks ability to do long running processes in the background. Move money in and out of mints on your preferred schedule to maximize your desired level of privacy. Harbor makes suggestions, but you are in control.

Move money in and out of Harbor using Lightning or on-chain. We love Bitcoin, and we love privacy. We hope Harbor gives everyday people more privacy and peace of mind.


"Bitcoin is not just “number go up” technology. Hidden behind the eye-popping gains is a powerful “freedom go up” technology that its new adopters are, knowingly or not, pushing forward. NGU and FGU are inextricable."

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoin-is-a-trojan-horse-for-freedom


"If you choose to store your wealth in physical assets or human systems that have been corrupted by evil, there your heart will be also. When you move your wealth to a store of value that is strongly resistant to evil, your heart will be freed."

https://medium.com/@ReedBTC/a-theistic-perspective-on-money-and-bitcoin-f68d55f2eea9


A reminder that we have zap.stream shirts and stickers are free with every shirt.

Also you can pay with lightning just go to "Other ways to pay" CC fees are too damn high!

Less government, more decentralization.  It's the only way to give the power back to the people. Humans will always find ways to coordinate and cooperate. Bitcoin is massive piece in the puzzle, but there will be other systems and solutions.

We live in a world that is increasingly devoid of nuance. Despite what loud internet people might say, progressives are not Socialists, Marxists, or Communists and do not require "big government" to implement solutions.

"Progressivism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to advance the human condition through social reform – primarily based on purported advancements in social organization, science, and technology."

Bitcoin is the social reform that will advance science, technology and the way we organize.

I am not a democrat, republican, libertarian or anarcho-capitalist. I am a bitcoiner.

Write a rap lyric that involves the term UTXO digger in the style of Kanye or Eminem

Unleashed

Verse 1: Yo, listen up, I got a story to tell, About a new breed of hustlers in this digital hell. They're not after gold or diamonds, no, they're after UTXOs, Diggin' deep into the blockchain like they're looking for clues.

Chorus: UTXO diggers, they're comin' to get ya, Gonna find your unspent transaction outputs and make you richer. They're the new gold diggers, but with a twist, In this world of cryptocurrency, they're the ones who persist.

Verse 2: Now listen close, I ain't playin', These UTXO diggers are the future and they're wavin'. They're smarter than most, with knowledge that's deep, In this world of Bitcoin, they're the ones who reap.

Chorus: UTXO diggers, they're comin' to get ya, Gonna find your unspent transaction outputs and make you richer. They're the new gold diggers, but with a twist, In this world of cryptocurrency, they're the ones who persist.

Verse 3: So if you got some UTXOs just sittin' around, Watch out for these digital hounds. They'll sniff 'em out and take what's theirs, In this world of Bitcoin, they're the ones with no fears.

Chorus: UTXO diggers, they're comin' to get ya, Gonna find your unspent transaction outputs and make you richer. They're the new gold diggers, but with a twist, In this world of cryptocurrency, they're the ones who persist.

There is no perfect way to use Bitcoin, every option has tradeoffs and works better in different situations.

I have vowed to never again vote for the lesser of two evils. So now I'll either never vote again, or just write in "God" I guess 😂

Ever wonder why there are so many Bitcoin memes and references to The Matrix? This was the topic I covered at our November meetup.

Well, if you are new to nostr its unlikely that many people that I follow are following you, so your WoT score will be lower.  I guess its hard for me to believe that in the future there wont be clients that will have many algos, including WoT based algos and feeds.

Trying out Coracle and the Web of Trust (WoT) is quite intriguing. There will be different WoT algos of course, but is it possible that WoT scores could become the NgU technology of nostr?

As in, if you were early and are active on nostr your WoT is likely to be much higher than someone who just tried it out once in 2023 and went back to twitter. Thoughts?  nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn ?


No fucking way...

Ok, here's my CRAZY idea:

There is a service that allows you to put any photo or video on a nearly 100 foot tall Time Square Billboard for 15 seconds, you can see live or they send you a video through a camera there when it's done.

I thought it would be fun/funny to add a Nostr video like the ones I make, it wouldn't be for any serious advertising just for fun.

Posting costs $60 and making and adding the video takes time, but if this note somehow gets 100k sats (about $60 USD), I will make the video, add it, and upload the replay video to Nostr when done. If it doesn't get the full funds within 24 hours, I will do my best to refund everyone.

I of course will not add anyone unless they say they want to be in it.

Nunchuk is great (FOSS) and can be a hot wallet or use a signing device like a ColdCard or tapsigner.

Bitcoin makes war (and other acts of violence against innocent people) unaffordable. Storing wealth in Bitcoin is a nonviolent protest against the government imposed monopoly on money creation.

If you provide value to bitcoiners they are likely to pay you in Bitcoin. Just one more reason that bitcoiners are the best 🧡

Freedom tech education is important. Teaching a Bitcoiner how to safely self custody and run a node may be more impactful than convincing your uncle to buy the ETF.
