Yeah I get out a lot of #dumbcunt humor out on here that I wouldn't be able to anywhere else. Nice little outlet, especially in a 4th turning.
I've been feeling that way for over a year. If you say that you believe in Bitcoin and understand the need for decentralized and censorship resistant money, but you don't understand the need for decentralized and censorship resistant communication, there's something wrong and it sounds like you're lying to yourself and others.

Did you write that on X?
That’s a truth that must be delivered… just as the one that says that majority of people will never run their own Bitcoin node, that KYCed sats are is being eaten by new “banks” and taxed by govts, and pure “private” Bitcoin slowly becoming outlawed or useless in the real world. Hard truths… self-custody (of online identities and KYCed sats still have a chance and would still be great improvements).
please tell me exactly how private Bitcoin can be EFFECTIVELY outlawed and being rendered useless? You might need help from China on this one lol
Private bitcoin becomes useless if outlawed (assuming most people do not want to live in a sort of Christiania). To outlaw private bitcoin you just need a law in your jurisdiction. Then you will have to decide to KYC and live in society (and pay whatever taxes your are forced to pay) or become at outlaw and take your private bitcoins to your bitcoin island. The fact that gov can’t ban bitcoin technically does not mean at all it cannot make it useless taxing the hell out of most people (just as an example) At least for the 90% of people that do not appreciate having to become a pariah to buy a beer with private BTC.

People want a good experience and wont use nostr
True. Though are Bitcoiners apologizing taxes. Though are Bitcoiners not using Monero as a tool of self-defense.

Curious as to why @jack re-noted this, given he just called x freedom technology.
Outlawed yes, very easy. Effectively stopped not, effectively make it useless, yes.
