One of the subtle but effective tactics on this #NodeWar is the subversive shift on #bitcoin being perceived as bitcoin "the money" to bitcoin "the database". Do not fall for it. Study and understand the fundamentals and stay focused. May you choose the right Node.

And this is why NOSTR is as important as #Bitcoin.

Knots implementation for Bitcoin Nodes keeps steadily rising. It already overtook the latest Core version. #Bitcoin #NodeWars

As #bitcoin reaches the threshold of $100k…be happy but remember the why of #bitcoin. Fix the money, fix the world. Freedom comes at the price of stying vigilant.

The current #bitcoin Node Wars perfectly encapsulates the design principle of “specificity vs flexibility”. Something cannot be optimal if its flexible - by virtue of trying to do two things instead of one, it is by definition less specific and therefore less optimal. For #bitcoin to be the best money, it has to make every trade off in its design towards being specifically the best money, otherwise it is not optimal. Trying to also be a platform for non-financial data is making trade offs in favor of the non-monetary direction. May you choose the right Node.

First Bitcoin, then NOSTR, and now Linux - what should be my next open source, freedom technology, I should look into to adopt or support? Looking for suggestions!

I got into the Linux world last week. I am using an old MacBook Pro from 2012. Hardware runs great, OS was bad because of decree by Apple and the plan obsolescence nonsense. Installed Linux and the machine is running very well. That, plus the whole #bitcoin Node Wars, after installing Knots and replacing Core - got me thinking about how important and superior these technologies are and that I should be learning and using them more. Hence, why this post. Trying to use NOSTR more than X moving forward.

On a family road trip this week and we stopped at a local pizza joint. After noticing the "we prefer cash" sign, I asked the owner if he accepted btc. That initiated a 45min conversation me orange-pilling him. #Bitcoin

My very first ever note post in Nostr!
