View quoted note → The bots will only get worse with more time. That’s why it’s vital for developers of Nostr clients to lead from the front when it comes to the filtration tools that users can enable or ignore. If EVERY piece of that filtering isn’t customizable and fully auditable by users, they will leave and go somewhere else. No one is being more open about this than @miljan . Great to see this defined!

This goldbug clearly didn’t even read the book, but that doesn’t stop him from crying the loudest and continuing to propogate “the solution” that leads to the perpetual break-down in society since time immemorial. BTW, @Lyn Alden’s book is my favorite read of the year if you haven’t noticed by now. If you’ve read it, or once you’re done, help her out, but more importantly help spread the Bitcoin message by countering idiots like this guy (review below). I think her book has the potential to reach a very broad audience and in a way that destroys many financial mantras since Bretton Woods. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3EPQ1QFPFF1JM/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0CGNVNXK2

This is truly a must read book. View quoted note →

Who else is hearing about an attempt for more lock-downs coming back this fall?

So I've been doing the 4 things that @AustinHerbert recommends and it’s kind of insane how well it works. -10k steps per day -Eat only whole Foods -Eat in a strict 8 hour window -3 workouts a week I downloaded this pdf he wrote and it really made a ton of sense. If you’re trying to get yourself in shape, definitely check this thing out. https://alphablueprint.carrd.co/

"FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried is headed back to jail after the judge in the case revoked his bail over alleged witness intimidation, after he showed a journalist from the NY Times private writings from his ex-girlfriend and business partner, Caroline Ellison, and used a VPN in violation of a previous order not to. The 31-year-old Bankman-Fried was remanded directly into custody, and will remain in a New York federal detention center until his trial begins on Oct. 2."

Drivechains Alright people, we are playing a game of chess here. The one thing, the absolute one thing, we can't do is give up the king. To give up the king, in my humble opinion, is to mess up the base layer. This mistake would disrupt the delicate incentive structure that ensures sound money. That sound money pegs the extremely fragile credit markets and out-of-control G7 policymakers that are creating clown world with their CB fiat policies. We don’t need the sound, pegged, money to move fast, we don’t need the money to do smart swoopty things, we just need it to be pegged, immutable, and digitally sailable to actually stop the madness of clown world. By introducing a whole lot of technical complexity to the base layer and potentially screwing with the incentives all so we can connect to a bunch of centralized shitcoin projects is like playing offense with the king when you’re down 7 pieces and the other player still has their entire back row at their disposal. A. Why the rush!? B. Why not just go use Monero if you need that level of anominity in your transactions. Why do you have to have it in a wrapper via drivechains? C. Why risk the king without deep understanding and testing of the technical risk and potential change to incentives? The beauty of Bitcoin is you can build it and softfork it, and we’ll let the community vote with their nodes. BUT, I for one, have no use for drivechains (that doesn’t mean everyone is like me). And as a result, I will not be updating my node and running any attempted “secret” softfork updates by the miners.
