I don’t take sovereign tech advice from statists. Period.

Seems like this interprets protocol properties as designed specifically for long-term government capture (e.g. the mining algorithm, centralization tendencies, early adoption by certain groups). Bitcoin’s characteristics can also be explained by technical constraints, developer preferences, and emergent network effects. View quoted note →

What should it tell us if someone is rocking a primal wallet lightning address in their profile? #asknostr

The whole hustle is just a carnival of grifters until you demand payment in money that can’t be warped, printed, or stolen in the fine print — otherwise the machine keeps chewing you up with the same old smile. #bitcoin

I was so burned-out from swatting spammers into the void that when the next 100 feral bot-things came stampeding in, it felt like staring down a digital stampede with nothing but a busted mute button and a half-dead sense of sanity.

At least, bots are not bigots. Unless you hard code them to be biased after finding out they are pivoting towards the wrong side. View quoted note →

This gag whore needs his face broken in. Any Canadians to take up the challenge? View quoted note →

#Nostr is flatlining on the table, so we’ve got to unleash a swarm of deranged bots to jolt the corpse back into motion. Pump it full of synthetic adrenaline until the whole damn thing staggers around like a half-drunk zombie. Doesn’t matter if it’s dead inside — as long as it twitches, the crowd think it’s alive.

The room always feels colder when someone mentions Bitcoin’s creator. Satoshi Nakamoto isn’t a person anymore; he’s a ghost with commit access. And that’s the entire point. The protocol survives precisely because no one can drag its architect into a courtroom, or a talk show, or a van with no windows. An invisible engineer can’t be bribed, sued, doxxed, or disappeared. #Bitcoin devs today walk the same tightrope. The minute a name becomes more important than the code, the incentives twist. Suddenly you’re maintaining a global monetary network while also dodging subpoenas, conference invites, and people who think you owe them the future. Anonymity isn’t romantic. It’s armor. It keeps the work ugly, honest, and unowned. The network doesn’t need rockstars. It needs ghosts with Git histories.

Bitcoin’s recent history feels like a roadside hallucination: SegWit cracked open the witness fields, Taproot handed the crowd industrial-grade chisels, and the junk peddlers began engraving their digital graffiti across block space while Core devs muttered about neutrality and long-term safe @Luke Dashjr showed up like a lone exorcist, waving patches meant to suffocate the inscription demons on sight, only to be turned away for swinging too wildly. Then #BIP110 lurched onto the scene — a one-year shotgun blast of consensus limits meant to slap duct tape over the protocol’s leaking data pipes — while maintainers recoiled, whispering about chain splits and bad precedent. And so the carnival grinds on, junk masters stuffing bytes into every crevice, devs arguing about purity versus pragmatism, and #Bitcoin itself humming indifferently beneath the chaos, as if this was always the price of absolute permissionlessness.

That's the A tier race for ya 🤣 View quoted note →

She made her choice — if someone can’t handle the pushback their opinions provoke, maybe they shouldn’t be anywhere near pushing commits to merge in the first place. View quoted note →

GM from inside the relay fog — raw, jittery and wired to the mesh.

Hashrate is slipping off the cliff as miners fling their #bitcoin like scorching hot potatoes in a wild, self-feeding doom loop of panic and electricity-soaked desperation.

The street preachers keep shouting NGU, but they never mention the trap door beneath the choir stand. #Bitcoin isn’t a religion. It isn’t a stock. It’s only worth the trouble if you hold the keys yourself and use it like money — real property, medium of exchange, unit of account. Otherwise it just sits there as a speculative idol, glowing on your hardware wallet while the markets chew on your sanity. People brag about never selling, but then they mortgage their future to borrow against their stack, only to watch the liquidation bots strip it from their hands at a discount grotesque enough to make a loan shark blush. You thought you were a sovereign individual; turns out you were just liquidity. Self-custody is the entry ticket. Spending, earning, settling — those are the maturation rites. Until then, Bitcoin stays in the same limbo it’s in now: a number that goes up until it doesn’t, a promise whispered but never cashed in, a revolution deferred by people too afraid to treat it like the money they say it is. Use it, or keep watching others decide its fate for you.

Strike loans reaping now 🤣 Those who took out above 100k are now being made to sell their Bitcoin at 60k. That's the name of the game.
