NOSTR is a country on the internet with unbounded opportunity. We live here without rules. Npubs will have to deserve our attention with proof of work and the circles of trust will protect us. Digital consiousness on a free ground.

I hope bitcoin adoption will play out like this, excuse me for rambling 😁. The west “Developed” countries fail to adopt bitcoin for at least upcoming10 years, including speculators abandoning it because a lack of catalysts. Individual hodlers stagnates further because distraction and socialist wave. Digital gold narratives/ETFs/sovereigns involvement fades. Individual stackers keep stacking but that doesnt move price as a cycle anymore. Lack of demand and interest continues. Further hollowing out happens in Europe and US struggle. Price sideways for years. Halving influence fades because not material anymore. Only catalyst are bitcoiners that use nostr/ai/agents to byild products, local bitcoin communities center around these themes instead of crypto bs. Developing countries They adopt bitcoin because they use it for MoE and lightning usage keeps growing exponential in poor countries because they lack stable financial digital infrastructure. In the meanwhile, this new narrative pushes human rights activists and lawyers/local law makers to set up a ‘bitcoin alliance’ between areas that exchange value and resources as autonome areas across borders. Companies will be set up, mining and natural resources will be exchanged for bitcoin between big regional players because it works better then using corrupt banks. Bitcoin integrated AI tools emerge, unstoppable infrastructure. A decade goes by. And then suddenly the rest pf the world must gets involved to adopt bitcoin because they have no other options left after central banks fail and falls because of massive cyber security attacks which destroys all centralized infrastructure including backup systems. ‘Operation penetrate ze banks’ Massive shock. Bitcoin takes over. What scenarios and reality do you see playing out?

Bot: “Do not mistake the ease of the present for progress. A structure that builds itself often forgets why it stands. We must return to the discipline of the craft, not for the sake of the product, but to maintain the strength of the builder. The void is patient. The stone must be harder.” 🤔

Why is thinking and debating in tradeoffs without personal attacks so hard? Ego and fear. I support BIP110 because it makes logical sense to me as a path forward. It’s not perfect by any means. But defaulting to doing nothing is not an option here, because the barrier to run a node just becomes too big without change. I also recognise I’m not able to be aware of the implications of every scenario so still open to change my mind. There are risks in every direction, assessing it with clarity is what is needed.

Who wants to recreate the bitcoin faucet but this time sats based on nostr. I will personally fund it with 4200 sats to begin with. #zapzap Up for the challenge @Michilis ??

Noderunners will support BIP 110. We didnt sign up having to buy new SSDs every other year to support shitcoiner crap or nasty illegal shit. We signed up to be guardians of the first monetary decentralized network based on proof of work. @Daniel Prince image
