On the latest episode of "What Bitcoin Did" nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyrtl8gkckam5xwfxugu46v2e3yhgg70gwx5qpeqp7prlkz9dzlejkvg2vts had Pete Rizzo and they touched on the Knots movement. Pete is either completely missing the real argument of the Knots camp or he is being obtuse and incoherent on purpose to straw man and downplay. Knots is a monetary maximalist movement. We do not want to relay non-monetary data. All monetary data is valid. We are not looking to censor monetary data. We ARE looking to censor non-monetary data. Core is looking to facilitate non-monetary data. Knots wants bitcoin to grow based on its monetary properties and function ONLY and not with a fiat mindset of let's do whatever we need to do to accelerate our "number go up" technology. Knots is willing to be patient and methodical to get to hyperbiconization in the right way. Bitcoin needs stewards. Bitcoin is not a divine entity that just "IS". Bitcoin is a tool, a great feat of civilization but nonetheless still a creation of humanity and therefor it needs human guidance.

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.


I just finished, luke right now, Black Myth: Wukong with the true ending.
Dang, this game was hard but awesome! It's definitely a love-hate relationship but leaning more towards love for sure. Hence why I feel I need to shout it to the world, that I in fact just finished an awesome and difficult game.

I hate how games are increasingly ignoring a game console's inherent form factor. Every game wants to be in every platform. It doesn't work and I hate the fiat mind set.
Xbox basically surrendered in the console wars with their cope of "everything is an Xbox" campaign. Switch 2 launched and there are no particular unique flagship games. 80% of the games are from Switch 1.
You can play almost every game in PC, Switch and Play Station. Why? This may seem like a "good thing for consumers" but it's really a deterioration of design quality.
For example, what inherently made Xbox and PS different for consumers? Their form factor was the same with some minor differences in controller ergonomics and they had to relay on marketing campaigns, color schemes and exclusive deals on games to differentiate themselves from each other . You want to play X game? Need to buy an Xbox. Want to play Y game? Need to buy a PS.
Nintendo had such a different form factor that games played in Nintendo for their majority could not be played in other platforms, setting it completely apart in the console wars. But that has changed and Nintendo has succumb to the fiat mindset.
Nintendo has forgone quality and careful stewardship that generated the "nintendo feel" for an expanding circle of profit. When a game comes out in PC, Nintendo, and PS, I feel that something is wrong. Feels like there are no meaningful differences in game consoles anymore. Which means the meaningful choices from gamers are going down. Which means that the human experience of these designs, consoles and games has been turned flat.
All of this for an initial expanding circle of profit that is deteriorating as it is expanding.
On the bright side there are new consoles coming out with a focus on form factor like the Playdate and the Nex. So there is hope. I hope these new companies adopt a #bitcoin standard to better equipped themselves to generate better designs for their consoles and games and help bring meaningful differences to game experiences and game consoles.

"Technocracy" and "Technocrats"
These are words that should be in everybody's vocabulary. These words help encapsulate and describe the concepts and dynamics that describe the greater moving forces of our governments. The ideas that motivate the individuals in the shadows, the puppet masters. The one cohesive perspective to make sense of all the perceivably disjointed movements of our governments and nations yet achieving the same unifying goal - population dominance, the curtailing of freedoms, the incremental management of people like cattle instead of free agents.
The cohesive tissue of all political parties are the technocrats. These people have no political ideals aside from dominance, no higher moral than control, and no satisfaction greater that does not come from gaining power over other humans. Do not fall for their tactics of "red" vs "blue", or whatever your nation's dual color flavor is. They are chameleons willing to adjust their plans and tactics according to the "winning" political movement of the time. Democrats in power? Let us push for mass immigration and corrode the cultural fabric of a nation. Republicans in power? Let us push for wars overseas to destabilize nations and create greater global chaos for our advantage.
Once you stop seeing and believing the story being played in front of you through the shadow puppet show, you start seeing the puppet masters behind them and are able to question and better judge their actions.

If innovation happens by cross-pollination of fields, meaning simultaneous active navigation of different fields overlapping, then by definition specialization does not generate innovation, it only produces efficiency.
Innovation is what keeps civilization dynamic and moving forward - without it civilization stagnates and eventually digresses and cannibalizes itself.
It is hard to maintain control over a dynamic population. A dynamic civilization by definition is a decentralized civilization.
But a specialized population, where individuals are highly specialized in one field but cannot adequately navigate and operate in another field become highly efficient but easier to manipulate and control as they have no real knowledge of other dimensions of knowledge being used to manipulate them.
All of this under the guise and pretense of these highly specialized individuals' competency and high intelligence to avoid being capture by their governing bodies.

Remember why you #bitcoin. It is not in pursuit of endless accumulation of money - that is greed.
You are in pursuit of freedom through the best money - #bitcoin.
Make sure you take time to enjoy the world as you are fighting for it.

For all those privacy-minded, surveillance-hating plebs... is there any solution to protecting your property from google earth satellites?
I am not talking about google maps where you can request (key word here) to blur out your house image so other people don't see it, yet google still keeps it. I am talking about the idea of the notion that they have of the right to just surveil and document every corner of the earth without anyone's consent every second.
I am looking for info on this but barely find mentions of the concept. Is there any way to jam satellite signals to block a geographical area or are we down to camouflage techniques?
I truly don't understand how this is not a bigger issue in the privacy-surveillance discussion. Is it because it is a loss cause? Any info on this either tactics to fight it or documents/videos to understand it is appreciated.
