Spent few days working at @La Crypta and you feel bitcoin everywhere there Starting from the fact that you pay your spot using lightning .. and then we all have lunch together debating politics, ideas, liberty and bitcoin Amazing few days

Imagine if we finally get some covenants in bitcoin .. how much more content all Bitcoin conferences would have.. how many more companies building self custodial stuff on bitcoin coming in We need to do it guys ..

Imagine Greenpeace nowadays worried because training AI models will trend toward consuming a lot more energy than bitcoin and .. at the same time “taking humans jobs out” 😂

Why on earth people in Nostr enjoy those bloody hell threads?. I’m tagged in one of those and every time I open Nostr I have tons of notifications of useless replies that basically make quit the app I do need to put a filter or something in the app where if I’m tagged in any post where more than x people is tagged then I don’t get any notification in my app

What is the value of a descentralized chain when you use a centralized DeFi protocol? What is the value of a descentralized.chain and protocol if you are using a centralized token? What is the value of having all of them descentralized but you used them through an exchange Descentralization is a spectrum and some times you just value one peace of it as it unlocks certain use cases The drama in ethereum camp is that they started creating a whole world of scams and centralized protocols where they abused the word descentralization as they realized most of their users only wanted quick money and didn’t care much.. so then it comes Solana which is much more centralized and took advantage of it making the UX cleaner for the user who is not worried with centralization of some aspects Now the eth camp is worried about figuring out the message because they will never be as solid and sound as bitcoin but they can’t convince solana users to come back as they don’t care those features eth has

Trump didn’t have bitcoins, it was not even his phone and he bearly touched it I get that people is excited but let’s be realistic .. he didn’t pay with bitcoin. Someone else put the phone and did it View quoted note →

This event in Singapore where Vitalik was singing a song is showing you the disaster happening in that space I truly believe that, as a bitcoiner, strong believer of the financial renaissance that bitcoin brought, it’s hard to find “descentralizad finance” as something bad. In fact, it’s a great complement to bitcoin idea and I wish one day we can do more even with some new bitcoin op codes But on the other camp I still see one project after the other that add no value other than to VCs and few insiders. It’s a pity because I also see smart people traveling all over funded by those useless projects instead of having all that brain power focused on building for the real needs Our events in the bitcoin camp are in many cases just repeating same stuff over and over which is also concerning me because I see a great opportunity to try, experiment and do it right within the bitcoin ecosystem

Is there any active work on things like op_cat? Do we know if there is anybody trying to push for it for real? Imagine a world were through op_cat plus BitVm we can build trustless bridges and basically make all other chains in L2 redundant as we can absorb all of it under the bitcoin ecosystem having the best monetary base? It’s just massive if it ever happens

I don’t understand much about US laws and constitution but I’m still wondering why people think that 2nd amendment protects citizens from tyrannical government? Let’s think for a bit: - if a tyrannical government takes control, and assuming they control the army.. your guns at home are just like a water gun compared to the army’s fire power - if a tyrannical government comes, constitution becomes useless and they can ban normal people to buy ammo and new guns So unless most homes in the US has war level weapons, tanks, jets, and and enough ammunition.. then you will still have problems defending from a tyrannical government. I hope that’ll never happen obviously but I’m still curious to understand why constitution is even relevant in the event a tyrant takes control

Please @Bitcoin Magazine don’t do this

There is a conflictive narrative in some parts of the world On the one side we all want freedom and free markets On the other side they all want import tariffs to block “other markets to steal local jobs” and they want “tighter immigration rules” for similar reason So how does that work?. If you truly believe that markets in the end will adjust themselves why would you put restrictions on tariffs?. Why would you limit how many immigrant workers can come to your country? I live in Argentina were, at some point in our history, immigration size was much bigger than the total population of the country .. waves of low class workers just finding some hope here.. escaping from wars and poverty in Europe at the time … I can imagine what our country would be like if all that people wouldn’t have been allowed to enter Then people from Paraguay Bolivia came in millions .. replacing some labor work from locals and here we are Then Chinese.. basically taking over most of small neighborhoods super market jobs and here we are Then Venezuelans came blending into our society across all levels escaping from dictatorship Just a thought

Pray for Venezuela. It’s really going to be very very bad if Maduro manages to continue in power

There is some people out here that are suggesting we should use DAOs for everything and ley me try to explain why I think it’s crazy even if it’s technologically possible For one second, close your eyes and think of a world were absolutely everything requieres you to align and vote Even on simple things like what time the street lights go off, urbanism rules, how to synch the traffic light, what should be the content of your kids school, discussions about foreign policies , agreements on replacing the electric grid in your neighborhood for one that is more reliable, agreements on extending the metro line, discussions on how to allocate the budget of your city, town, country etc And in addition to that, you also need to stay up to date on your career to remain competitive and also spend hours at work Now, open your eyes… would that be possible? Some people would say; ok you can delegate but how can I even know who is best across so many different topics. I wouldn’t have time to do that So then you go back to delegating to a bigger entity that will in general have some principles that you agree with and then you delegate to them so they assign experts on every topic (even if then, those are not real experts) So now we are back to where we are today

Politicians opinion about unregulated social media: “They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation"

Is @fiatjaf blocked or he can still post on Nostr out of Brazil?
