do not follow the crowd, if someone else is already doing something well, help them succeed
identify pain points, areas where there is no focus, where there is a need that nobody else is filling, we need more people to stand up and do the hard tasks

> Wealth requires freedom: the ability to make decisions without coercion. Freedom requires privacy: the ability to selectively reveal yourself to the world. Rights are not granted: they are earned through struggle and defended through sacrifice.
Privacy is essential to freedom. Without privacy, individuals are unable to make choices free from surveillance and control. Lack of privacy leads to loss of autonomy. When individuals are constantly monitored it limits our ability to express ourselves and take risks. Any decisions we make can result in negative repercussions from those who surveil us. Without the freedom to make choices, individuals cannot truly be free.
Freedom is essential to acquiring and preserving wealth. When individuals are not free to make choices, restrictions and limitations prevent us from economic opportunities. If we are somehow able to acquire wealth in such an environment, lack of freedom can result in direct asset seizure by governments or other malicious entities. At scale, when freedom is compromised, it leads to widespread economic stagnation and poverty. Protecting freedom is essential to economic prosperity.
The connection between privacy, freedom, and wealth is critical. Without privacy, individuals lose the freedom to make choices free from surveillance and control. While lack of freedom prevents individuals from pursuing economic opportunities and makes wealth preservation nearly impossible. No Privacy? No Freedom. No Freedom? No Wealth.
Rights are not granted. They are taken and defended. Rights are often misunderstood as permission to do something by those holding power. However, if someone can give you something, they can inherently take it from you at will. People throughout history have necessarily fought for basic rights, including privacy and freedom. These rights were not given by those in power, but rather demanded and won through struggle. Even after these rights are won, they must be continually defended to ensure that they are not taken away. Rights are not granted - they are earned through struggle and defended through sacrifice.

When nostr becomes the standard we will no longer need to screenshot and archive scammer tweets before they inevitably delete them.
Every nostr post is cryptographically signed, by design. Just need to keep a copy.
BitBoy scammed millions of people through a paid endorsement scheme for shitcoins and ponzis.
These paid endorsements were often undisclosed. He is one of the worst actors in the crypto space and anyone associated with him is complicit.

the gaslighting from inscription promoters is exhausting and starting to really piss me off
if you are thinking about buying an inscription consider staying humble and stacking sats instead
