What I am super bullish on are intelligent people that have arrived somehow on values that are similar to mine. And the highest concentration of these people is among cypherpunks. Not the ones that have attached their identity to a "token" or a project. The cypherpunks who understand the underlying structures. And especially the limits of such understanding.
It sends chills down my spine when I realized that we are now "in charge" of things. In a very different way than traditionally - not top down, tell others what to do way. Like weavers, making the structure of cyberspace in the background, separately, but what appears is a structure we can use.
Each of them looks from a different point, each one's view is different. And when you zoom out, it's thousands of stars illuminating this new space for the mind.

I see.
I can see it.
they must be scared
the status quo is under attack
And so many of those people are here on nostr 💪💜
They're not scared. They have no idea.
even better
Sounds a bit constructivist, managerial, but I'll take it.
I DON'T!
DON'T HODL
DON'T BUIDL
DON'T BS
Bad tempered today?
No darling.
Just fed up with all these f#"+ers claiming #cypherpunk as a badge of honour. The effing "new nobility" claiming intellectual superiority while they're not even to set up a competitive app.
Super F#c% them
You can write fuck here.
Let it out...
Give me a sec. But first of all I know that I can write the word "#fuck" on #nostr. That's what I have been testing for a while. But, in my view, cursing online is more appealing if it is draped in a sort of calligraphic aesthetics.
Wow, nostr:npub1m2mvvpjugwdehtaskrcl7ksvdqnnhnjur9v6g9v266nss504q7mqvlr8p9, you seem to have succeeded in calming down the Tasmanian devil for a moment.
Cypherpunks (wether contemporaneous or OG) execute the separation of money and state through code.
The rest is theatre.
What I call cypherpunkism now is a fad for people who neither understand the machine nor the motive.
Cypherpunkistas fetishise rebellion but outsource competence.
Their tools are handles, hashtags, and conferences — not protocols.
To write efficient code is to act politically without posture.
To posture without code is to pollute the conversation.
The tragedy is that they’ve turned a discipline into a style, and a style into a noise that flatters impotence.
Bitcoin needed builders; it bred influencers.
Only for a moment. But that was not my goal anyway :)
🤣 so, what was your purpose?
To make sure he knows he can say fuck and help him to go through that intense emotion through it. Calming down is a side effect, going through is the goal.
