Attention retards: You will get one warning that you are retarded when commenting on my post, and the next time you will be muted if said retardation continues. Unmuting fees start at 10k sats, plus explicit apology for retarded thing said. You have been warned retards.

Remember he was thrown I. The hole for 6 months after this—something he spoke very directly to the terror of in this speech. What a courageous man. View quoted note →

Hard to listen to this and not cry:

I can say whatever I fucking want to and no one can stop me, and anyone, anywhere in the world can read it unfiltered and unmediated by corporations, institutions, or governments. People really don’t understand that this is the first time in human history this is really possible and how big of a deal it really is. From this alone, another world becomes possible. One where the radical power of truth-speaking electrifies itself as the spark that initiates real thought and the possibilities that entails.

Some days it’s really disheartening to realize just how stupid most people are, and that those are the same people who have the strongest opinions about things. GM.

Wait, so there are really retards on the retard app arguing that Ross should have stayed in jail? Retarded.

Holy shit @calle that’s a podcasts opening. 👏👏👏 View quoted note →

While throwing a welcome home party for Ross would be sweet, I also feel like it would be really overwhelming for him.

Those who have not had chanterelles and steak are missing out. The mushroom adds so much depth to the steak’s flavor.

I’m sorry, but The Giving Tree is a shitty kids story.

NOSTR is like a small town, You say GM to people just because.

Feeling a lot better after hanging out with @walker and @HODL today. Good to connect with my people and remember why this is all important to me. ❤️

Are we in an echo chamber, or does ‘crypto’ really not have anything to offer substantially in terms of culture, values, ethos, and really presentation of a greater vision on a whole? Maybe this is more of a xitter kind of question (as nostr really is a bitcoin echo chamber), but all of the web3 BS seems like just that. It all seems so flaccid and disingenuous. The lack of charisma around crypto vs bitcoiners just seems really stark to me, but then again, maybe I am just stuck in this echo chamber.

I’ve had a real chip on my shoulder lately and been feeling pissed off about a lot of things (personally and otherwise). And even in that, I thank God every day for bitcoin. Like, fuck the money part, I just am so grateful that there is something they cannot control, they cannot kill, they cannot stop. That even as captured, as played, and as controlled all of the dialog around it is; they cannot have my bitcoin, and they cannot stop me from transacting with whom I choose and they cannot break cryptography from the very functions that are its nature. The crypto sycophant shit is disgusting and vile; and it’s also an essential component of Bitcoin’s development. Nothing provides a better smoke screen for how important bitcoin is than the crypto bros and their active destruction the entire financial system with their debased garbage, outright scams, and criminal conduct. When the smoke clears, and all of that garbage shows itself for just what it is; bitcoin will still be plugging along, block by block, bit by bit. And even more, Bitcoin gives me a reason to have hope. Hope that even with as fucked up as everything is, no one can’t make more bitcoin, no one can stop the network, and no one will control it. That hope is the smallest of light in a world of utter darkness; and yet it is in the darkest of nights that such a light can shine the brightest.
