It is all bad, but the difference in reporting has always been so glaring. View quoted note →

Very informative video

Remember this when you hear "bootstraps". The amount of generational betrayal is staggering. View quoted note →

This isn't just generated by "drinking the coolaid". Some people were fired and pushed into situations where they might well starve to death if they didn't take it. No one had any way of knowing how long this would last. And the 2 years or so that it did was longer than some people could ever hope to hold out. Think about the single parent who cannot choose to bring their child to work with them that had to choose between A) quitting their job and starving anyway to be at home with the kid because they won't allow the kid back in daycare/school without the shot or B) taking the shot to continue to work. That person didn't "buy the propaganda"... He was forced into a corner for which people need to executed for having put him in. View quoted note →

🤣 the results are exactly what your expect at this point View quoted note →

The more I see this, the more I feel that it is imperative to personally know and/or have spoken to the devs of everything I use. It is just old school web of trust. I recently had a convo with @verita84 about this exact subject in private. View quoted note →

Sounds like an advertisement for XMR at this point, and I definitely think nostr needs to consider more XMR support. If it was more coin diversified, this wouldn't have happened. They decentralized the protocol, but EVERYTHING is BTC only. There are no "XMR zaps". BCH nostr is the only exception I can think of. And I don't mean "payment targets" either. I mean where I can click the zap button and direct send my choice of coin and amount, dependent on the recipient having a wallet for the right coin to receive it. Further, a conversion function might also help with this. Something like how people can set up "transition nodes" where they keep open reserves of different coin types and "seed" transitions so that I could, for example, tip someone with sats and it instantly converts the sats tip into a BCH payout if a lightning address is unavailable/unaccepted. Just a off the cuff idea for now. Not fully fleshed out at the moment. View quoted note →

Exactly. Libertarianism works only within a high trust society that respects the social contract and is willing to kill to preserve it. Absent that, it is just LARPing against IRL orcs. View quoted note →

Watch out #nostr #devs... Apparently you are all too stupid compared to this master vibe coder who is too good to even finish the project... Seldom have I seen such narcissism.

Holy shit. First cold cards and now zeus and boltz. This is definitely coordinated. They have to know that successfully annihilating the whole of the bitcoin trading infrastructure would render the stolen coins worthless. They must simply be determined to destroy bitcoin itself, just from the logic, assuming a rational actor View quoted note →
