On software licenses… “I think this whole subject is very interesting and the effects of software licenses on business is something that doesn’t get talked about very much. The people who wrote these open source software licenses are hard-core anti capitalists and socialists, who believe in the state. That’s why these licenses are property effacing. The original reasons why the open source software movement was started was in response to UNIX and Microsoft and Apple and their closed source operating system . Those licenses served a very good purpose and worked very well to create competition in both operating systems and office suite software. Because they were very successful, people have tended to go along with them, reflexively without understanding the side-effects. Once they understand the side-effects, however, they realised that open source licences are very harmful to them personally. That’s why they use phrases like “rip-off” and get very angry about their software being copied under a license that they chose consciously and wasn’t forced on them. Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. In the case of choosing the wrong software license, the best thing to do would be to announce you’re changing the license and very quietly go under a different license. The vast majority of people know nothing about gnu, 0S, wars or anything like that. Exposing them to this bickering is counter-productive in the small scale, closed world of the Bitcoin Cult.”

Have you heard this song before?

TRI STATE AREA. WESTCHESTER COUONTY.

WHAT EVERY MAN WANTS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY.

The dream to awaken our world... You're out of control. I take control! Whose side are you on? I take no sides... You're skating the edge. I am the edge! What you *truly* want, only I can give. You can't give it, can't even buy it, and you just don't *get* it.

MUCH TOO MUCH.

PEACE.

It looks like the so-called bitcoin community is splitting, with people who failed to make a commercial success at bitcoin because they were too scared, or didn’t have any ideas all moving to Nostr; a place where there are no challenges to serve anyone and make a profit rather than stay in bitcoin and tread water forever, collecting likes on Twitter and other ephemeral nonsense that doesn’t change anything. Meanwhile, a group of hard-core Bitcoiners is dedicated to spreading it all over the world are remaining behind, accumulating funding and building a generation of tools that will propel bitcoin to all the ends of the Earth; and they’re going to leverage all the thinking and all the tools that have been accumulated over the last 11 years to make the promise of bitcoin come true. Meanwhile, the people are hiding away in Nostr, gushing about it, as if it’s going to be something that changes the world because it creates a space where people can misbehave without consequence we are going to be left behind to wallow in the ghetto they created which won’t feed a single mouth or have any effect on the things that are making the world a dangerous place. You can talk until the cows come home about why nuclear weapons are bad or why Russia shouldn’t invade Ukraine, and you can say it in an unfettered way, but simply talking about things is far less likely to change those things than spending money to change them. This is why bitcoin is more important than Noster and everybody who is in bitcoin who understands this is putting all effort into bitcoin, because that is the fundamental change that needs to happen, not Noster and not freedom of speech. Freedom of speech without money in a Fiat world is a sub optimal world; unfortunately, because money is so fundamental, people who have been brainwashed in government schools don’t have the wherewithal to attack this problem and solve it and prioritise it properly. That’s why they’re easily distracted, And Noster is one of those distractions. Its faddish and infantile. And look at the clients; second rate dull imitations of Twitter with nothing new save the deluvery system. Is this the best people can come up with? Really? Things are much worse than anyone imagined. And there’s nothing wrong with having hobbies; nothing wrong with building outside of bitcoin. There’s wrong with being a normal human being; part of the reason why bitcoin was written is so that people can be normal human beings, but every man has to work, and we are better off with everyone working towards the goal of making bitcoin ubiquitous, and if dividing your time between Noster and bitcoin means bitcoin gets less attention, that’s a bad thing, and remember; there are people who are not aligned with bitcoin’s aims who are now being given prominence in the so called “community”. Those people who are promoting polluting the chain of blocks and making everything slower because it’s “cool”. With those people being seduced by Noster, a power vacuum is developing. The only way we’re going to get out of the problem is if it’s possible for a tiny fraction of men to cause the changes to happen, just like WhatsApp and Signal. If there are enough people to do it who can’t be distracted by things like Nostr and NFTs then we’re going to win. If not, then we don’t deserve to win and Larry Summers and those people will remain in charge indefinitely, and you deserve it, so don’t complain about it!

All it takes is one man with some guts and care for other people to protect everyone. note1fgdjx877v7cpp39ttrmaxx3e2q6xvlcg5kxnlfh7372mg65le8zsx7awpd

The idea that Open Source can protect peoples rights in general is a fantasy. And rights are not corrupted; they are immutable and inherent. Well meaning people who are uneducated tend to talk around the idea of Rights because the inevitable conclusion of anyone who can think is that it is the State that is the enemy of all mankind, but they can't bring themselves to say it or even think it, because their brainwashing is total. They think they can defend their rights by using Open Source tools, but use Microsoft Windows, "Because its the standard". They refuse to encrypt their email and refuse to take personal risk to build or help build the very tools they mistakenly believe will save them from the problem whose name they dare not speak aloud: THE STATE. These people don't develop software and are pathetic fanboys who pour into software all their hopes of a ridiculous fantasy future where the State still exists and can only prey on everyone other than them. Thankfully these useless "men" have no means to stop the real men who are out to change the world. These people, had they been approached by Satoshi for an investment would have been turned down because not only are they the worst Lilly livered COWARDS but they have ZERO IMAGINATION and could not think their way out of a wet brown paper bag. MORE CAKE FOR US THEN, INNIT?

ONE OF THOSE DAYS.

It should be clear to everybody that it’s not possible to live in a country that has socialists in any position of power. They can’t be reasoned with, have a fundamentally different understanding of ethics and morality (none), and are a constant threat.

“Meaningful interactions” “Superiority over others” “Healthy conversations” Looks like the people writing clients are learning the principles of economics on the job, as well as sociology. They, being brainwashed, think money is bad, that free speech is toxic, that tools need to guide steer and control users, and many other such things. The same effects are seen in Bitcoin developers. Men who propose identity layer for the protocol, client devs who insist on usenames and passwords, devs who insist incorporating fiat into their wallets, foundations who believe the poor can’t manage private keys for themselvs as individuals, but because, “it takes a village / community” think key sharing is the only way the poor darkies can possibly manage the super power handed down to them from the enlightened supermen. No matter what happens, now that Bitcoin exists, it will not be possible for these mewling weaklings to stop the Golden BB. Reality is going to assert itself. The racists, nudgers, Socialists and control freaks are going to be neutralised, and a natural society will begin to emerge. The weak, cowardly, shivering, narrow little men who think the world is fresh asphalt, drive through McDonalds, fads and infantilism will all be sidelined, and the threadbare philosophies they’re using to cobstruct tools will all be minimised and then swept away. Remember “Cryptocat”? No you don’t, and you’re just like the developer of that tool. His fate will be your fate, because you don’t understand man. Its OK.

TURTLES ALL THE WAY GET DOWN.

JUST STOP FOR A WHILE.

Looks like it’s back to Damus for now, as it has very effective moron nullification.

There is, perhaps, nothing more delicious than watching people promote Bitcoin whilst clinging on to the fantasy that the State is an absolute requirement for things to work. Their "History just started yesterday" mentality rejects the evidence that the educated and reasoning have incorporated into their thinking. They know that Florence didn't have a US style surveillance state watching every transaction, "To keep people safe". They know that the City State of Venice didn't have USSR style Commissars watching every transaction; people were free to trade, travel and live, and that's why those places flourished, not due to the State existing, but because the State was very small, minded its business, didn't over tax and got out of everyone's way. This is why El Salvador is going to win; eschewing taxing Bitcoin business is super forward thinking, and will attract all sane businesses to its shores so they can be left to develop their services in peace. Only delusional Socialists believe regulation creates business; that's why New York is a BTC desert. If it were true that regulations created business, every Bitcoiner would be rushing to incorporate and operate in New York. The exact opposite is true; people avoid New York because the "BitLicense" is in force there. Making a "BitLicense Lite" as some Europeans are trying to do will simply make people operate in another jurisdiction where the poison hasn't been uncorked. If it were true that FinCEN registration and SEC regulation made businesses safe for consumers, then FTX would never have gone down, because they had all the licenses there were to apply for secured. How many examples do people need to see before they GET IT? Foundations don't created businesses. Regulations don't protect anyone. Regulations can't stop people losing money. It beggars belief that even in the face of the recent Californian banks, people still believe in the State like lemmings. If it were true that regulations and regulatory bodies offered protection, SVB could not have gone down, or any other bank. FDIC insurance would not be necessary; "Why do we even need FDIC? We have a Federal body regulating it, NOTHING CAN GO WRO.....KABOOM!". How DUMB can y' be? And of course, what the crazy Socialist says is, "The regulations were not strong enough or were not broad enough. We are going to bring in new regulators and instantiate a new Regulator to make sure this can never happen again". And then it happens again. And people don't learn. They're the most foolish, naïeve people on earth, much more so because they're educated and STILL believe in the State like children. This, my friends, is why Bitcoin needed to be written, and the Statists STILL don't understand this or see what is coming. Bitcoin will not allow the formation of any regulatory body because all money in the economy is put to economic uses not Socialism. It doesn't care about what you believe is required for an economy to grow or why it doesn't. It is a permanent constraint on the ignorant and naïeve who will not conform to reality. That Socialists actively support a thing that will make their vision for the world impossible is, perhaps, the greatest release of Schadenfreude ever in history. A group of imaginatinless men got tricked into promoting tools that 100% negate their philosophy. You couldn't make it up if you tried. And Bitcoin can't hear anyone whining about anything. It can't care that you refuse to accept reality; it imposes reality. It can't accept that you refuse the nature of man. It harnesses the nature of man to protect US from YOU. We will win, not you. It is our philosophy that is going to eat the world. It is us that are being proved right, not you. It is your world that is crumbling whilst ours is emerging. It is us that is helping to free mankind, not you. It is us that are the real Bitcoiners NOT YOU! Bitcoin wallets don't need "Regulation". https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/955098807838093313 The market is proven effective to build great civilizations, and the countries that had stringent regulations, like the USSR and New York, ended up crumbling and collapsing. https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/1584563240088244224 Because Bitcoin exists, it is not required to convince anyone anymore. Our way of thinking will become the default by attrition or capitulation. And it's not your choice either. https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/904726473042534400 Everyone must know their rôle. If you can't run a company or develop tools, you have no place; and that's OK. https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/1646977557210755075 The world is a messy place with messy people and messy half baked ideas. Bitcoin is not half baked; it is a cake with sound rules built into it. This is why people have such a hard time understanding it. For most of their lives they've lived in a USSR... https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/1590655872556228610 style Communist / Socialist State, where the government sets the rules for everything, to where children can be born and educated, what the form of food you can eat is, and of course, the form of money you are required to accept by law. Ten years is not enough to cleanse out the stench of Statism from the minds of even the most intelligent and well meaning. It will take many years for that to happen, but the painful medicine must be swallowed first, and that medicine is "Bitcoin". Look at the new (maybe) phenomenon Nostr. The people who developed it, wrote it and then released it. They didn't ask permission, they didn't wait for the State to sanction it. They just DID IT, just like the author of Bitcoin DID IT. They are not Statists or losers. And the people who now name drop Nostr in the same breath as they do Bitcoin while claiming that Bitcoin needs regulation don't seem to understand that Nostr is REGULATION RESISTANT not CENSORSHIP RESISTANT. That means that anyone can say ANYTHING they want without consequences. Why are the people so hell bent on regulation not saying that Nostr is a very bad thing? because they want to appear to be the good guys, and everyone loves Nostr, so it is not possible to say anything against Nostor and also be a good Bitcoiner. But that's another story. Nostr exposes a problem with the current state of the Bitcoin economy. Because businesses are needed to onboard new users and develop and manage consumer grade wallets, those businesses are a SPOF that Statists can attack and "regulate" to "Keep People Safe". People who want regulation of Bitcoin businesses are no better than Chuck Shumer, who wants to regulate "AI". The danger zone layer that is the businesses that distribute Bitcoin services are the place where people who can't write software and who are too frightened to invest in companies can have a disproportionate and toxic effect on the economy. Because they don't have a real stake in Bitcoin by running a business that spreads it, they can advocate for regulation in the belief that no matter what happens they will be rich. It's why Sailor advocated for regulation. There are many characters doing this. Lummis for one

You Lumis fans should understand this; she is calling for regulation of Bitcoin. That's exactly what a Democrat would do. She is no more on your si...

I've been saying this over and over and over... https://twitter.com/search?q=bitcoin%20regulation%20(from%3Abeautyon_)&src=typed_query Consistency is Bitcoin's greatest attribute. If people were as consistent as computer programmes, there would be a lot less trouble in the world...or maybe more...who knows? All _I_ know is that history is REAL and it REPEATS itself, and regulation CANNOT CHANGE MAN'S NATURE.

IMAGINATION.
