Israel has exposed the “rules based international order” which is being used to murder people and steal their land. The monopoly of the violence of the state has been completely exposed and if you think it’s not coming for you…..good luck.

That they are they innocent lamb needed for our continued ignorance. The sacred sacrifice needed for our collective peace

I can’t help feeling that Palestinians are the sacrifice required for our continued state of wilful peace.

Great show. I’ve been worried about it but instinctively something didn’t seem right and you’ve explained my concerns really well. 🤣even though I didn’t even know they were my concerns.

1. Find the relays. If they are in US, find and pressure them to stop. If outside us get partners to do the same. Start from largest to smallest relays.
2. Highlight each and every illegal activity that’s happening on Nostr (porn etc etc). Draw attention to it relentlessly on mainstream media. Make nostr seem like it’s for criminals.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL

What happens when you realise that the story presented to you for most of your life is a lie? Do you continue to live the lie or do you rebel? I think everyone is waiting for someone else to rebel. What if you’re meant to be that someone else?

13. While you’re convinced that you’re absolutely right, allow for the possibility that you might be wrong. When the time comes that you know you’re wrong don’t be too stupid or stubborn to change your mind.

On a separate note, whet do people feel about Samson Mow’s claim that the few number of relays make nostr centralised and susceptible to attack?? I feel he’s got a point but really want to know what more knowledgeable people think. Thanks.

🤔 believe it when I see it. He’s bent over backwards to censor anything the US, EU Chinese, Indian govts etc etc have wanted him to. He’s part of the system and can’t act against it.

Labels are so limiting. Singapore one of the most capitalist countries in the world with very low income tax and no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax has free (very cheap) VERY high quality schooling even at uni level, subsidised home ownership (more than 80% of citizens own their own home) and healthcare is means tested. Go figure.

The fact is we don’t know what bitcoin is going to do. We can predict but really Bitcoin does what bitcoin does. What we can say is that the only way out of the hole the Fed has dug for itself is to print more money and we can also say that the strongest signal for Bitcoin price rise is fiscal stimulus. So….

You’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s all about the monopoly on violence.

Unfortunately America is built on forever war. War is needed to convince the public that money should be printed to buy weapons to fight the war. It’s the circle of death.

My 13 year old son has been saving money with me for the past 6 years (presents, chores etc) and now he’s got more than enough to buy a PS5. BUT because I control his access, it’s not happening (he’s got a Nintendo which he hardly uses anyway). This is exactly the relationship I have with my bank.
& this is why I need Bitcoin.

I’m not sure. My feeling is that governments don’t see central banks as a negative. They see it as the only way of controlling their own currency. And monetary policy. As long as sovereign fiat currency is around central banks will remain to control it.

2024-08-20 15:22:07

I’m not advocating for a central bank. I’m just saying they aren’t going any for the foreseeable future.

2024-08-20 13:04:07

- reply

You’re absolutely right. I only just got it once you’d mentioned it. The only way to combat the ETF (as the only on ramp) is to keep the peer to peer functionality alive. That means buying and spending Bitcoin. This would become much easier if we insist on earning in Bitcoin.

2024-08-20 12:45:40

- reply

True. The problem is if your state is not controlling it.

2024-08-20 12:44:22

- reply

Yes. Exactly. We need something that can stand up to the bribery and blackmail. Something without a single point of failure. Something that’s not controllable from the outset and accept all the problems that come with that.

2024-08-20 12:40:34

I know about lightning and know it’s pretty easy to use but I don’t want to spend my Bitcoin. & I think I’m in the majority. So bitcoin as currency is probably still some way off.

2024-08-20 12:38:51

- reply

This is a nice sentiment but not realistic.
Every single country in the world has a central bank cos that’s the only way they can control their currency. No Govt in their right minds is going to let go of that. For the foreseeable future we live in a world of central banks. Individuals can opt out of the system with BTC but not governments. We’ve got to work in this framework.

As Bitcoin catches on (and it will), governments are going to make it more difficult to buy bitcoin except via ETFs. It’s a control thing. What’re we going to do then? Or do people feel this is not a thing?

1. I am a bit drunk
2 I’m absolutely fed up with twitter. It’s not reflecting my opinion. Is it because my opinion is shit (I think what’s happening in Palestine is the definition of evil and anyone who supports it is outright supporting genocide and I frankly think they’re psychopaths) or is my opinion is the majority but being censored?
3 either way I think I’m right
4 nostr if it’s truly decentralised and censorship resistant is a welcome change.
5 BUT are we just creating little pockets of minority opinion which will become amplified in an echo chamber of their peers?
5 if we are, is that a bad thing?
6 I don’t know BUT i do think all opioin needs to be expressed. What may be unacceptable now may become acceptable later and if these unacceptable options aren’t expressed they die and we all suffer in the long term.

Sorry sorry. My fault. I’m actually gen-x. I got confused. I thought zoomers was gen-x. As an Xer I feel also very nihilistic. I’ve lost faith in all systems and governments. I’m not an anarchist but I just think government as a concept is incentivised to become corrupt and I just want an off-ramp which is where Bitcoin comes in. I’m just going to sit down earn fiat and put it into bitcoin and watch everything come crumbling down around me. If someone steps up and sort things out I’ll appreciate it but I’m not getting involved.

10. Mental health is as important as physical health. You have to take your mental health seriously. Have strategies to cope. There will be times when it will seem impossible to go on. First recognise that you are suffering. Second, keep your head down and focus on the present. Focus on taking just one more step and soon you will find that you’re made it to the other side. Just remember “This too will end”. It will end and you’ll be stronger for it.

I’m trying to build a list of truths to pass on to my kids. I’ve got a few, feel free to add more.
1. God love you. Not your religion.
2. Build your life on truth - people lie, countries lie, religions lie, media lies. Don’t trust verify.
3. Mainstream media and social media, they all have an agenda. Make sure it aligns with yours before following.
4. Kindness is underrated
5. You don’t need to advertise your beliefs. It’s OK to believe something others don’t.

Listened to a talk on this on “Bitcoin Audible” podcast. We are decades off for quantum computing, even if they can figure out the problems. SHA250 is also used in all banking etc etc so definitely there’ll be a fix.
