*the legacy internet is not built for authenticity. It is built for extraction. Hidden algorithms push narratives, outrage, fear, and distraction. People think they are choosing, but they are being steered. Sometimes for profit. Sometimes for power* View quoted note →

*The missing piece is a more developed discovery ecosystem. A Nostr client acting as a crawler, an indexer, and a curator could build the needed visibility layer. Some early versions exist, but nothing has yet become the widely used tool for this* View quoted note →

*what we call "gains" are often just an optical illusion of currency debasement. High asset prices are merely the receipts for fiat printing* View quoted note →

*Bitcoin needs pervasive open computing. Hardware-based attestations do not stand against that in principle but in practice it often does. A smart phone has many chips and one of those can be - decoupled from the main functioning of the device - provide attestations but if you want it to attest to the OS being locked down then ... well ... you run a locked down OS or don't have attestations.* View quoted note →

*the “merit” being tested is one’s ability to follow. It’s a test of one’s ability to pick up on what the current culture values and emulate that effectively. It’s a test of your trendiness and ability to curry favor with others* View quoted note →

*The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff* View quoted note →

*I think the silver lining is most people think through a consensus filter, they have no principles or understanding beyond their own survival, so run with the herd. Bitcoiners being multi-disciplinary are an intransigent herd, they don't break off into other herds even if those other herds are bigger. Their numbers are therefore a one-way-ratchet, and the size of that herd compounds on itself... eventually attracting people on scale alone.*

*Purely technical people, lacking multi-disciplinary traits, are Bitcoin's greatest liability. They fail to recognize its value is from being a paragon of stability and relative simplicity, and so they're always seeking to change it... fortunately they fail more often than not due to a design meant to resist them, and end up shitcoiners.*

*At some point, many people begin to believe they are already smart enough and no longer need to learn. And that is the exact moment when growth stops. Ego replaces curiosity, certainty replaces exploration, and development freezes.* View quoted note →
