@npub1qny…95gx did you really pop back onto Twitter w/the OdellXYZ handle and blue check?
I don’t see you mentioning it on nostr, and that acct is getting a lot of traction.

Yes, it was about me, but directed at you, because you were mentioning the guilt. I referenced the bitcoin because to me there is an analogy with regards to ‘everyone’ believing in the old system, but after you discover the old system is wrong, you don’t need to be burdened by the belief set (guilt) of bad system.
I really like the way Jeff Booth frames this in the sense of not solving the problems of the old system within the framework of the old system. The new system/paradigm fixes the problems. And also how he talks about wanting to help bring the new system to fruition so he moved his time and energy into the new system.

For me, it was verify, don’t trust.
I grew up being told that Christianity was the truth, and had a difficult time trying to find ways to squeeze objective truths (dinosaurs, the age of the Earth, where the other people came from that Adam & Eve’s kids married, etc).
After understanding that the Creation story was drafted by people who clearly did not have omniscient knowledge of history, it led to understanding many other aspects of the religion were created by humans for their own motivations, and then to realizing all of it is.
Removing the ‘problem’ of the inconsistencies of religion makes life simpler.
It was difficult for me bc everyone else in the family/community/whatever still believed in the truth as told by the Bible. But letting go of it bc it cannot objectively be true undoubtedly later helped me to question the reality of our financial situation and why ₿ is so important. The ‘leaders’ in my financial community/family were telling that this system based on trust is the way to go forward, but objectively, the system based on math and physics is obviously going to win. Honestly it surprises me when I encounter so many Bitcoiners that are still devoutly religious. But, everyone is on their own journey, and it generally is not harmful for people to believe in a religion that allows them to take the weight off their mind. (Caveat: Some religions/subsects of religions are harmful to others.)
TLDR; try to let go of the religious guilt that you are saddling yourself with. The universe is random, and everyone in it is looking out for their own interests.

“Domestic issues always take precedent over international ones, which means a system that is controlled by one nation and is the backbone of all other currencies might work for a time—until the country’s domestic issues force it to unilaterally deliver economic benefit to the nation in control of the currency while hurting all others. Once trust is broken in that exchange, game theory predicts actions by other countries will encourage growth of their own currencies—and all hell breaks loose because international cooperation is lost.”

I’m glad you have become more interested in medicine as your Bitcoin journey has progressed. I have become less interested. I am starting to become more interested in health and longevity. I think that the society USA has tolerated and even promoted unhealthy lifestyles for so long that we are probably on the verge of a great awakening of moving towards health. Emergency Medicine is definitely not the field to be in with the coming shift.
I’m much more aligned with Bitcoin, and trying to find a future where I can focus on it.

I’m more concerned about inserting commas, such as the sat comma standard.

I don’t understand what your complaint is, it sounds like you are changing complaints? The protocol is decentralized. Damus is an iphone way to access the data, but you can use a different client on your computer, like snort or astral. You can use amethyst on your android phone.
I think it’s neat that damus tracks the amount of lightning that a post generates.
We were discussing prisms at our meetup last night, and how nested zaps could maybe waterfall back to the original poster and also the person that shared the content.
This protocol, and the clients that access it are being built while we are using it. I think that’s pretty amazing.
