If we need total economic collapse in order to reach a 5-10 trillion dollar market cap, we deserve to lose. For reasons I do not understand, most people could care less about bitcoin. The only reason we are sustaining a 1 trillion market cap is because of the US ETFs and microstrategy. The plebs could only maintain a 600-700 billion market cap. Its sad AF and borderline depressing. The plebs don't deserve bitcoin. It took wallstreet to pump the price.

I gave up on scaling bitcoin to the masses a long time ago. In a perfect world, yes. But 99.9% of people will never care about #Bitcoin  Of the remaining 0.1%, 99.9% just want price exposure and will buy an ETF or custody on an exchange. The remainder, they are the remnant.

The damus beta expired. And I had to DL from the App Store. Can somebody send me the magical zapping script?

The Coinbase implementation of the Lightning Network is an attack on #bitcoin I stated this publicly within an hour or so of the launch.

My new calculator arrived today…

What happened to Greg Foss? Why is he so down on himself? Whatever mistake he may have made, it’s okay.

The current state of things has had me down. I’m going to work on being more positive. If I present a negative or something that is bothering me, I will try to also post a possible solution. Last week was tough for bitcoiners.

Is there a way to remove a stream from zap.stream? I am trying to learn how to "go live," and create videos using obs/zap.stream. I have no experience with such things, but want to start periodically creating short educational videos. Any advice on how to do this successfully is appreciated. I hope you all have a great day.

My wife and I are discussing leaving the US. I will never give up self custody.

I would hodl to zero.

They cannot put us all in prison.

I must have reached an erroneous conclusion with respect to the "then the fight us" narrative. I never thought we would fold like a bunch of cowards. If an ETF approval, a Chinese mining company, and the DOJ can take down the social layer of bitcoin with so little effort, we were always doomed to fail. The battle may require more than posting on nostr. We need a plan or they are going to systematically dismantle the ecosystem we have built.
