I probably use Nostr more so than anyone else. Which I can't say if that's good, or sad. All the devs are honed in programming, and all the other Nostr have instagram, x, Facebook, YouTube, or real life, etc. I have X but get no traction at all there. Here, I get some traction sometimes despite being a small account that says contrary, and often unpopular things. I like being free, Nostr feels like a small semblance of Freedom.

Corporations have killed Bitcoin, AntMiner, Blockstream, Ocean, MicroStrategy, Wallet of Satoshi, I'd even be daring, and cocky enough to say Square too but really in the current environment P2P payments are under optimized because then that would require buying ever vendor a seperate android device to accept TRUE P2P but it's just more practical, and reasonable to update the hardware they already have. That being said everyone has put their hands in the cookie jar, some have eaten the cookies, some have done weird sexual shit to the cookies, other have dipped their cookies in milk but Bitcoin was good back then when Satoshi, and Hal Finney Kept the cookie jar closed, and said you only get one cookie, and that's after you've done a good job to improve Bitcoin. But now the parents/adults are gone (unfortunately) the kids have run amok, and caused chaos that has led to this dysfunctional community filled with Greed, Vitirol, Dogmatism, and Foolishness.

Bitcoin worked but somewhere along 2014 to 2021 it stopped working. Malicious devs sabotaging Bitcoin. I think Both Adam Back (Core/Blockstream), and Luke Dash Jr. (Knots/Ocean) have, are, and will continue to sabotage Bitcoin for their own financial gain. We must remove all corporate, and financial interests from Bitcoin, Satoshi, and Hal Finney made Bitcoin great because they were incentivized to make the base layer work, however, Blockstream, and Ocean are both incentivized to benefit their bottom line. Lightning is a corporate credit token issued by a centralized entity that benefits from a Broken L1. Bitcoin MUST FIX L1, and add privacy or else Bitcoin Will Fail. Bitcoin Cash, Z-Cash, and Monero have shown that Bitcoin can be saved, fixed, and improved, it's just time for The Bitcoin Community to Embrace The Necessary Protocol improvements to P2P cash. Ethereum is cool too, and Vitalik was one of the earliest Bitcoiners but maybe there can be a Bitcoin-Etheruem for the surplus non-financial data that would need to be transmitted by a Decentralized network. Bitcoin can be the Swiss Knife that does both but it just hasn't yet, and I'm hoping that Bitcoin can be fixed, and saved but if it dies then I'm willing to embrace what works.

I want Bitcoin to work but the truth is that it just doesn't. I know supposedly nowadays Transactions/Blocks can't be orphaned, or the odds, or likelihood that happening have drastically decreased but it's still concerning that miners can reject transactions directly, or indirectly. And Knots wants to make that problem worse. Not saying core is better of course but it's still concerning that transactions can be prioritized, or deprioritized, essentially acting in a Quasi-Monetary censorship. Either all transactions are treated equally in a blind manner, even when you account for fees. Fees should equal alloted time, just because someone does RBF, doesn't mean they should get to go in front of a low fee transaction that was submitted first, and has waited their allocated time because then RBF transactions could just be indefinitely spammed to act as a mechanism to prevent other transactions from entering blocks.

Minimalism is a sort of self-emasculation turning oneself into a proto-eunuch. While one might make the argument that minimalism clears the mind, and removes the burden of earthly wants, and pleasures but the truth is that life was meant to be enjoyed to its fullest. Not to be confused with indulging in degeneracy but to be satisfied in all needs, wants, and desires. While some are comfortable with a nomadic lifestyle others have to build empires. Some peoples are destined to be on the move, others are meant to settle. Neither one is right or wrong, as different people were designed for different systems. But someone may need more of a thing than another simply due to differences in their existence.

I need to buy more, make more, create more.

I need my money in everything doing everything. I need it to generate value while maintaining it. Only way I see this work is stocks is the aggressive growth them gradually overtime convert a portion of it into safer money as your core value to act as a financial safety net.

The problem is you can have your chips on every spot, and guarantee a win but win less, or you can place your chips on one, or a few spots but win bigger but your odds of winning are smaller.

The problem is the economy needs to do stuff to make money but if the economy continues on its current trajectory you will lose your job. It's a lose-lose. Either the economy crashes, and people maybe can have jobs once it recovers, or keeps growing, and booming but people still lose their jobs. Point is you're losing your job either way, it's just one way if AI fails, and flops (unlikely) that you may eventually at one point still be able to get a job in theory if the economy ever grows again, the other way you're definitely losing your job but the economy keeps growing without you.

I would love if everybody explain what they think Bitcoin is. Because evidently we have different understandings, or explanations. I'll say mine after I get a few note replies first but most of y'all know qhere I stand for the most part but I'd just like to make it clear for those who don't understand my view.

Just another Tuesday for @Oshi (推し)

I feel sorry for those who are condemned to the permanent underclass by circumstances of birth. At least I have a slim fighting chance to escape.

I think only 30% of humanity is actually human. 30% of the global population is Christian. Only 30% of the world is lactose tolerant. An estimated 30% of people have an internal monologue. Only 30% of people save more than 10%. 30% of the world didn't get the Covid shot. Only 30% of Americans oppose same-sex marriage. About 30% of women first/only sexual experience is with their husband/the man they later marry.

Is having an inner monologue schizophrenia 🤔?

The Right Woman would let you discover Agartha, Hyperborea, Thule, & Atlantis.

The IRS won't let you kiss the homies goodnight.

The IRS won't let you engage in Semen Retention.

The IRS would tax you for reaching Nirvana, and becoming one with everything.

If the IRS could they would tax you for your infinite rock skipping.
