When I'm agnostic on a contentious topic, there's very few things that will push me to the opposite side as quickly as when an advocate says, "trust me". An advocate who says, "don't trust me, here's my data" pulls me towards their side.

Why does electrumx have peers? Shouldn't it only need to talk to bitcoind?

If women can do everything as well or better than men, doesn't that necessarily mean that men are less than women? Because everything that men do, can be done by women equally as well. And there are some things that women do better than men. If that's the case why wouldn't evolution - based on survival of the fittest - have rid the world of men a long time ago? Doesn't the fact that men survived strongly imply that there must be some things that men are more fit for than women?

Critique my strategy: - I work and get paid in fiat - From fiat I buy and hold Bitcoin as my savings - From fiat I buy goods and services to support my lifestyle - I don't spend Bitcoin - I don't think I've ever sent or received a lightning payment - I run my own node - My bitcoin wallets only connect to my node - I have coinjoined some of my Bitcoin

Are there people on nostr who aren't bitcoiners? I find myself not posting here much because I have nothing useful to add. Whereas on the legacy app, there are tons of people who don't grok Bitcoin.

There was no way Bitcoin loses here. Even if CSW had won his lawsuit, all that would have proven is that no one, even with nation state support, can stop #Bitcoin. I think it might have been fun to watch them try.
