Cabin air filters are a scam. Remove it and enjoy your car air conditioner working properly for the first time. 🚁👍🏻

GM. People spending time on nostr to try and convince everyone here that nostr sucks is quite unconvincing 🚁😎
Does it seem plausible that a system that prints money could come up with 1 billion dollars a year to suppress the adoption of bitcoin?
If they wanted to buy off content creators to reduce the confidence in the code review process, support harmful BIPs, create quantum FUD, start malicious forks, and all manner of things, how many could they get at an average cost of $175k a year?
Well, let’s do the math…. $1b / $175k = 5,714 paid influencers a year.
There aren’t that many well known voices in bitcoin you say, and nobody would sell out for $175k a year. Ok, let’s say you just need 75 highly influential voices in the bitcoin community to disrupt adoption. How much does each one get offered? $1B / 75 people = $13.3 million a year to each of them. Could you find people to say what you want for that kind of money?
Is this happening? I’d have no way to know for sure, but it seems foolish to not assume the financial system would not try. Look at the amounts of wasteful money DOGE found before they were told to stop. Remember, these people were going to throw $2B at Stacey Abram’s dormant NGO just to keep her on the team. Spending $1B to keep the fiat system defended against bitcoin seems reasonable.
What’s the point? Don’t trust, verify. When you see people campaigning to change bitcoin, especially those who seem to make it their full time job, be skeptical.
Many OGs made bad decisions and no longer have much bitcoin, they’re easy targets for influence peddlers. People who just show up with large audiences are questionable. The calm voices are much more likely to have the right incentives. The loud voices might be the ones worried about loosing their funding if they can’t move the needle.
Stay calm, stack sats on private keys you control, seek truth, change your mind slowly. 🚁😎
GM. At block height 951,578 there are now 20,035,954 bitcoin held in self custody. Are any of the UTXOs controlled by you?
Yachts are not actually fun. This is why everyone on them needs to escape reality by constant drinking and snorting coke. There, I just saved you many bitcoins and years of pursuing the wrong goals 🚁😎
Them: AI and drone technology is going to replace you as a pilot.
Me: I’ll be fine til I retire.
Them: You have no idea how fast technology is advancing.
Me: You have no idea how slow the FAA regulations change. The bureaucracy I hate is my moat😂
Once you understand builders are gonna build what they want, not what you want, life is easier. Nostr devs are no different, just enjoy the imperfect clients and be patient, they’ll improve over time.
Preventative maintenance is a psyop, just fix it when it breaks.
GM. Privacy is an essential human right worth caring about. For bitcoin, I care about it being uncensorable even more.
When I was a kid in the Midwest, some of the biggest farms I worked on were 5-600 acres. Now a 5000+ acre farm is normal in that area.
In another 30ys under a bitcoin standard, I predict most farms will be high tech micro farms 20-200 acres.
If I’m wrong, and still alive, you can ask my private in home elderly care nurse to tell me so. 🚁😎
