You know how when you reach god mode in a game it gets boring and you stop playing? What if 'the creator' was so bored it split its consciousness into small bits and made this universe out of them. Just to experience life with challenges. It experiences different lives through every living and non-living creature simultaneously. And the purpose of our life is to live it.

Bitcoin can change the world only if we can't change Bitcoin.

A invests in B to produce more widgets and earn a retrun. C buys those widgets, and has less BTC. A got more BTC, C got more widgets. So who's richer now?

You can design a monetary system with fixed supply (Bitcoin), elastic supply (fiat), or commodity-backed supply (gold standard). Each has tradeoffs. None of them are "more natural" than the others - they're all human institutional choices. I just like Bitcoin better.

If everyone starts with 1 BTC and A invests in B expecting a return, where does that return come from? C and D end up with less.

Lightning UX is still gated by: - inbound liquidity - channel management - "wait, what's a sat amount?" 3 problems. Where's the wallet that solves all 3?

Bitcoin without your keys is a promise. Promises broken at scale are exactly why we're here.

Why do we even call them "wallets"? They're keys, not containers. Calling self-custody "wallets" is one of the reasons new bitcoiners think they own a balance — instead of a private key.

What if Bitcoin was created for the elite to exit USD as US Empire collapse was inevitable. I really want to believe in honorable Knight Nakamoto. A monetary Jesus, that gave us the magic internet money which helps us escape the financial oppression. But all the evidence points to the fact that the world is run by the demons while the majority of the people are lobotomized by consumerism. Every technological innovation only tightens the grip around privacy and freedom. Is this time really is different?

What are the chances that Public Blockchain, Web-3 and Bitcoin itself IS the part of the one-world-government implementation plan? A lot of intersections with Digital ID, CBDC and AI Surveillance.

I do wonder what is the efficiency of the Internet? I mean how much energy is wasted due to all inefficiencies like not optimal code, routing, packet filtering etc

Cloudflare is down. Hello nostr.

We all live in a bubble. Literally.

Some people genuinely give NPC vibes.

It's actually a great video. I don't understand why the fuss 😀

Have you ever seen a rainbow like that?

@Ian Carroll welcome to Nostr!

What's up Nostriches?
