Trust Revolution - Nostr Hypermedia

NEW EPISODE Voluntary payment has never cracked 5% adoption. Fifty years of trying. NPR, Radiohead, Patreon, Nostr zaps. Human nature doesn't change. So why build #V4V rails at all? Because when Patreon banned creators in 2018, lightning worked. When SubscribeStar got cut off by Stripe and PayPal, sats kept moving. That creator you zap? You're not tipping them. You're making them uncancellable. S02E14: trustrevolution.co

“Mining is ruthlessly competitive. Revenue trends to zero every halving. All you need is energy and minimal bandwidth.” @average_farmer lays out why Bitcoin mining isn't your friend—it's a market force that consumes stranded energy, builds infrastructure, then moves on when real consumers show up. Jurisdictions that get out of the way win. Those that don't lose.

NEW EPISODE: @average_farmer went from Naval Special Warfare intelligence to software engineering at a large-scale Bitcoin miner. His career arc reveals something important about how centralized systems are showing cracks and what's replacing them. Key insights: → Open source contributions build reputation that matters more than corporate credentials in Bitcoin → Military “thinking shooter” training—knowing where to find answers rather than having all answers—translates directly to decentralized technology work → Financial surveillance isn't abstract: working in FinTech showed him exactly how payment censorship operates at the technical level → Bitcoin Veterans is creating pathways for the military community to transition from defending centralized institutions to building alternatives Listen and watch:

Privacy usually costs extra. PayJoin flips that. Dan Gould built the protocol that makes Bitcoin transactions cheaper when both parties contribute inputs. Up to 25% fee savings. Chain analysis gets harder as a side effect. The rare case where doing the right thing costs less. S02E10: https://fountain.fm/episode/jrcWHYhorCfoI4hagzD0
