#asknostr #plebchain #privacy 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.

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

#NodeWars #Knots keeps going up to protect #bitcoin from spam crap. We are now almost 11% of the network! Everyone running #Knots should really set their spam filtering to 0 so the backlash is felt tremendously across the chasm and we have other sectors being affected - like sidechains and what not. This way, next time spammers want to try something, we have more than just the maximalists as a pressure point - we also have everyone else affected by the maximalists as a pressure point against spammers because of the extent maximalists are willing to go to protect #bitcoin. Running a sidechain should be viewed as a privilege not as the reason for #bitcoin. 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
