Germans need to vow not to say "Zaps" with a german accent.

When there's a problem, it's easy to just point out how bad things are. It's harder to think up possible solutions. It takes creativity. It's even harder to act on it and try to solve it. It takes endurance. The hardest part is to follow through, ship it and embrace the consequences. You might fail regardless of your efforts. But this is the *only* way to learn. Keep dreaming. Keep building. Keep learning. I hear people talk about chances and probabilities. "Almost zero chance of success", "way too early to make money", and similar. If you talk like this, you already failed. Shut out the noise of naysayers. They don't matter. You will win, eventually. Not because this particular thing you're doing right now will succeed but because your process is to learn the hard way. "Just do it" is not a bad motto, I'd add sth essential to it though: JUST DO YOUR BEST. ALWAYS. GM

@hodlbod I've been testing the issue with events not always loading, created an issue about my findings. Could not locate the exact problem though.

Okay for ppl who joined #budabit club: I am still investigating what causes things to load unreliably. It might be Flotilla or relay tools or both. Patience please thank you.

@hodlbod I don't understand why is welshman lib using kind 9 as MESSAGE kind? That is the default kind for deletion request.

Should a community relay automatically respect delete requests?

## Announcing BudaBit: The Club for Builders in Freedom tech Share, discuss and inspire each other: I am launching [BudaBit](https://budabit.club) , a club-like space based on Flotilla.social , an app for relay-based communities by @hodlbod . If you are a builder (or an aspiring builder) in the space then you are most welcome! What we will be doing in the club: - Share our work with the group to receive constructive feedback - Bouncing ideas off each other in meaningful conversations - Networking with like-minded people I see this as a new settlement in cyberspace where we builders take the land and make it thrive together. I have many plans with this club. I want to make it ever more attractive to and with those people who see value in such a thing. To join: You are either whitelisted already because I am following you, or you will have to drop a DM or tag me in a post. Unfortunately there is no way as of yet to submit a join request. Meet you inside! 🤙

The reason I love books from @Saifedean Ammous is that they tend to trigger a strong reaction in people. Any precoiner I meet with any curiosity at all I do this: I just give a copy of either the Bitcoin or the Fiat standard (based on our discussion) and promise them a conversation any time if they read it. If they don't, no time wasted. Out of the ppl who actually read it, each and every one of them wanted to talk fervently about stuff they don't understand or disagree with. That's a sign of a good book.

The "Who should rule" conundrum is a red herring, one that devastated entire civilizations. It just leads to bad philosophy ruining the very means of human progress. The better question is "How should we remove bad rulers?" That is, we need to focus on error correction rather than chasing perfect social choice theories. Mistakes are inevitable. But we can progress nonetheless by upholding a culture of criticism. This culture must be embedded in freedom technology, otherwise the means of error correction are bound to be co-opted by some ruling class. Nostr and bitcoin are the foundations we can build on. Focus on how freedom can actually be realized: technology that empowers the individual, step by step, meeting people where they are but striving to take them further gradually. Freedom-tech goes hand in hand with reality. That is why it is winning. Ask the right questions, don't get dragged down by red herrings. The future looks bright. Problems are soluble, and with proof of work we will get there. #karlpopper #daviddeutsch #philosophy #freedomtech
