"Places themselves are biased toward hierarchy or field." "Hierarchy (external field) - Status allocated by others - Rewards flow downward - Metrics are social - Time horizon is short-to-medium - Work optimized for visibility Field (intrinsic field) - Status emerges from competence - Rewards flow from reality - Metrics are internal or objective - Time horizon is long - Work optimized for truth or craft" Do you require hierarchy or field? I need field. I tried (for a long time) hierarchy, and it didn't work for me.

I didn't realize the UK government was trying to drive traffic into Nostr's arms, but I'm not sure they could do a better job.

Merry Christmas. "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." Isaiah 9:6-7

Peace on Earth. Good will to men. Of the increase of His government and peace, there will be no end. Did you hear that? Peace is coming to Earth, and no one can stop it. Merry Christmas, everyone. View quoted note →

Notice he's measuring the Bitcoin ship based on the sinking USD Titanic.

Now this is fun!

Bitcoin is for everyone. Also, Nostr is for everyone. I think one of the signs of Nostr's growth is I've seen more people on Nostr who aren't Bitcoin maximalists or don't hold the values of Bitcoin culture, yet are still here posting and interacting. Inadvertently endorsing decentralization and sound money. None Bitcoin users helping make Bitcoin and Nostr adaptation grow is a win. Many people will use Bitcoin and Nostr because they want to. Many more people will end up using Bitcoin and Nostr because there's no other viable choice.

Maybe someone ran out of money to depress the price of Bitcoin, so they restarted the quantum computer FUD to accomplish the same goal. View quoted note →

Note to self... If I try to start the motorhome and the starter battery is dead, and someone tries to help jump start it and it doesn't work, don't replace the starter battery with what I thought was a 12v house battery, only to later find out it was a 6v battery that was put in series with another 6v batter to make 12v. It doesn't work, and may cause you to think the alternator isn't working anymore, and almost buy and install another alternator, but thank God they didn't have one so you bought a new starter battery instead to limp the motorhome into town and cell service and food, only to discover after rewiring the house batteries to be in the right configuration, that there was nothing wrong with the alternator and replacing the starter battery was the only problem that's now fixed. Next time, it's okay to replace the starter battery and be on your way. But all things considered, you did well because you depended on God, fixed the real problem, and now you and your family are safe. Sincerely, Past Levi View quoted note →

The danger of this period of time is, since free speech for privacy developers is under threat, it's tempting for people to flatten the sound money structure to be only about privacy, when it's not, and can lead to distortions in how people see sound money. View quoted note →
