People in my area going absolutely wild seeing my “paying with bitcoin” using Square terminal posts on platforms outside of nostr and X

Business owners reaching out to me about getting set up, conspiracy theorists in my area messaging me talking about flipping the switch, cashappers asking me how I’m contributing to making it happen so fast

And the truth is… the iceberg

Some people would argue this against me, but I don’t consider myself public facing… however, I literally love Bitcoin.

In my local area, Bitcoin is what I’m known for… and I’m deeply, deeply trusted in that arena. I have years and years of experience assisting people with their hardware + the blockchain… and so, people trust me when I tell them something.

They trust me when I tell them something is going to be okay and they trust me when I tell them to avoid a group or product because I’ve sussed them out and found them to be no bueno. They trust me to be the canary in the coal mine.

I say this to emphasize that Nick Szabo is right… Bitcoin isn’t trustless, it’s trust minimized, the difference was always the level playing field… that instead of a top down experience, we are noticing a rounding effect.

Everyone who was bottom up on the iceberg is now centrally sitting across from the top down players at the round table…

We call this a balancing of powers.

And this, my friends, is how you take down a war machine.
