“The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them.” - Thomas Jefferson, Memoirs, Correspondence, Private Letters The older I get the truer this feels... even though my logic cant make sense of it. https://academyofideas.com/2025/06/why-the-news-promotes-ignorance-and-mental-illness/

I wasn't at the #Bitcoin Conference, so this is all based on my nostr feed, but the impression I got was: - FUD around seed phrases - Stable coins are more important - sats are apparently confusing? - and dancing cows... I am certain I am wrong, and that good things came out of it (probably in the #opensource area), but I just have this bad taste in my mouth now... I really want to go to one of these one day, but at the same time, I can't bear the thought of paying to get spewed with shit like that in person. I feel disappointed, but maybe my hopes were too high, maybe I have setup a poor nostr feed... 🤷‍♂️

Everyone agrees that we have a minging centralisation proble. But Nodes rule the network, not miners. Nodes must decide what general mempool standards are, not developers. https://fountain.fm/episode/alsLTVnJEvsHETT4TZPq nostr:nevent1qvzqqqpxquqzpus0f2xx62p34xgm6tfyuefklz2luzpf33pt580sv6ks3exqwgds2c7yf9

Nodes must have the autonomy to do what they choose. THAT, determines the Bitcoin network. https://fountain.fm/episode/UERO22Xk8ymwpRhwzaMC nostr:nevent1qvzqqqpxquqzqu0tpz27gv3nj6z03krse8yw2clf5njyl05tx8suc3t5wn5gxmzrt74qe2
