@Rustin Peace 丰 @Simply Bitcoin Thanks for covering the core spam problem and the Knots solution to this real war.

On my journey to self-sufficiency, I am learning how to hunt. Last Winter was my first experience hunting, in general for the first time ever, on private land with a mentor. But I don't want to rely on people to be able to practice and learn or outright be able to hunt at all. I decided to try and hunt on public land this upcoming season. Yesterday was my first scouting trial run and I happen to encounter a very busy corridor in the woods used by deer, hogs and bears. I am scouting in summer and planning on hunting in fall/winter, so the environment will be different and so will be the location and behavior of my prey. But I thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of being able to apply everything I have been learning through the internet in relation to tracking. This trip de-mystified the whole tracking thing. Also, being alone in the woods, off pre-made trials, was extremely refreshing and exciting. Even though I am physically exhausted, I find myself emotionally recharged (yes, I am an introvert at my core). Planning on another scouting trip in 3-4 weeks or so.

With all the fiat bros and fiat talks and fiat pitches and fiat thinking exhibited and celebrated in "Bitcoin" 2025, it is clear that traditional finances will try and treat bitcoin like they do the dollar with a lot of help from all the shipcoins and scammers in this space. Meaning they are going to distort and lie about how much bitcoin they actually have and they will lend and paper-bitcoin their way into a lot of initial fiat gains. But in their ignorance and hubris, as they are padding their own backs, congratulating themselves on all the financial engineering they have conjured around bitcoin, just when they think they have slither their way out of financial reality through re-hypothecation, the bubble will burst. They will try every little dirty trick they have deployed before in the past to avoid accountability when the bank runs come knocking and debt calls come rolling. But this time they will find themselves in front of a static, unbreakable, constant link to truth. They will try to manipulate bitcoin into being as elastic as all fiat currency to find they get shocked by proof-of- work and stomped by decentralization. The reality of sound money will come thundering for them as all the monetary sins get exposed. The false economy that has been built on debt and lies will collapse and bitcoin, seen as the asset that was captured and enslaved to the fiat overlords, will be the one to whip all backs of those who profit from inflation and money printing. But those who stand their ground firmly, never wavering, always believing and patiently stacking, will bear the fruits of their labor. Their vision will be rewarded and responsibility will be awarded. Bitcoin is truth. Truth is easy to uphold and live with. It is natural. Lies on the other hand beget more lies. They require a constant fight against the natural state of reality. They are poison. Truth always wins over lies. Be prepared to endure until truth wins. Be prepared to fight for the truth and help it shine sooner and brighter. Fight against those who construct and gain from the lies. Lies always collapse while truth always withstands. All fiat currencies end up hyper-inflating, and the dollar is in an even more precarious position being the reserve currency of the world, backed by demand on its debt. Even if bitcoin becomes what backs the dollar, which will cause, in my opinion, a faster and more aggressive hyperinflation of the dollar - since now we will have a clear asset to contrast the amount of dollars circulating and therefor its non-worth will become evident. This will trigger mass demand for bitcoin and a rejection of fiat - accelerating a bitcoin standard. But with this shift comes the collapse of all the debt and consequently all that is built on that debt - which will be catastrophic for society but a process unavoidable to fix our trajectory as a human civilization. Like mending a bone that has broken and was left to heal broken. To fix it, that bone needs to be broken once more to properly align it and reinstate it to its natural state. This will be the price to pay to abandon the empire built on lies. This will cause a lot of pain and destruction but we will need to endure it and do what is needed. We will need to watch it all burn to be able to rebuild from the ashes... ------ Wanted to express here a few thoughts of my own. I don't know. Wondering if anyone thinks like me or differs on something/everything? I know it sounds angry and dark, and it may be, but I also think it is the reality of the current situation and a reality of the shift to the bitcoin standard that we all want here but that might be a bit lost on us. #asknostr #plebchain #bitcoin

How does the problem of dust transactions in the blockchain get fixed? Isn't this a major problem as #bitcoin keeps going up in value? 3000 sats right now is not much and even represents fractions of a penny but in the future it could be worth $300 or even, with sat-dollar parity, $3000 or more. Wouldn't the blockchain, by bitcoin becoming more and more valuable, start to natively price out the majority of the population? Who will pay $300 to move savings of $1000? Anyone has any ideas or resources to point to that discuss this issue? #plebchain #asknostr

I would like to expand the idea of running a #bitcoin NODE as the conceptual building block if a framework for a decentralized civilization. You have your house that can produce #off-grid water, energy, food, shelter and manages waste (#earthship) - think of it as your EARTHNODE. This earthnode provides its inhabitants with sovereignty and the basics components for their survival. Then you have a #bitcoin node for decentralized and sovereign financial freedom and topped of with #nostr for uncensorable communication and I think we have the recipe we need to solidify this revolution and send human civilization forward. I think this is how we have a chance of a #solarpunk future instead of the fiat dystopian nightmare that is unfolding right now. What do you all think? #asknostr #plebchain

Anybody knows the word/s for the following concept - in any language. Concept: When the perceived value of something is affected, either positively or negatively, by its context and/or how it is stored. Specifically, it's place of rest or storage. For example, an ancient, rare book stored in two different environments. One version is on an Ikea shelf on the corner of a dingy, smelly room, closed, on its side and dusty. The second version, that same book is on a glass casing, open for display, on a thick wooden polished table as the center piece of the room. The item in question is the same but how it is stored and the environment it finds itself in modify the perceived value of that object. Any ideas? #asknostr #artstr #psychology

Bisq or Robosats? Which decentralized exchange you like more and why? Looking for opinions to try one of them. #bitcoin #grownostr #plebchain

Hello, all! Mind sending me some sats to test wallet? #plebchain

What lightning wallet are you all using to connect to NOSTR in 2025? #asknostr #plebchain #Damus

#Bitcoin is not a permissionless database, it is permissionless money. This database has strict rules that need to be adhered to and safeguarded to be able to be used as the best money. They are trying to shift the focus of BTC away from its monetary use to a platform. #NodeWar

Decentralize everything in your life. #Bitcoin for your money, #NOSTR for your online discourse, #Linux for your OS, #Earthship for your homestead, #3DPrinting for your manufacturing. Is it more work? Yes. Does it offer more sovereignty? Yes, and that is the goal.

You are either fighting for the SEPARATION of money and state or you are enabling the MERGING of money and state. On which side are you? #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin Knots keeps getting adopted! #NodeWar

What is this even for? Checking that the person is not a cyborg passing as a human illegally? This is a modern techno-communist version of having your neighbor keep an eye on you all the time on behalf of the government. Having to be ID by peers - right out of dystopia. Start learning how to use your own tech. Start using Linux for starters and try to understand as much as you can how the internet and networks work. Will it be hard? Yes. Is it impossible? No.

One of the counterpoints to the Knots alternative is that it is basically only @Luke Dashjr maintaining it...and that changes with adoption of that implementation. Which is what everybody running Knots would like to see. More developers in Knots. #Bitcoin #NodeWar
