France, Spain, Portugal censoring social media and the web. Who is next?

Roger Ver was right. Blockstream hijacked Bitcoin. Scaling got sabotaged. Epsteins friends turned it into Wall Street’s digital gold. He called it out first and loudest. They smeared him, prosecuted him, stole his money, shut him up. Congratulations. Buy BCH. Long BCH.

On-chain BTC transactions are so cheap and fast right now, it should worry everyone holding BTC. If there are no transactions with BTC – in other words if it is not being used for daily payments – then WHO is going to pay miners 10yrs, 20yrs from today? This is the elephant in the room.

@Lyn Alden don't do it.

Complex adaptive systems (finance, economies, ecosystems) are inherently ungovernable by design. The "crisis managers" have no clue what they are mathematically/logically doing either; what they're doing is much more the performance of shamanic rituals (pumping liquidity, making bold confidence-building statements while hoping the patient doesn't die before morning). In the end rationality is a big illusion. Systems are driven by human psychology / irrationality (expectations, feelings) and thus manipulating psychology is the most direct lever available.

Now we know quite certainly that the world is run by satanic pedophiles. What changes?

"So let me get this straight… Jeffrey Epstein admits he spoke with Satoshi, paid the salaries of roughly 60% of Bitcoin’s core developers, was a lead investor in Blockstream (responsible for the majority of major protocol changes, the centralized Lightning Network, and significant network influence), and was the #1 largest single investor in Coinbase. Epstein was also close friends with Brock Pierce, founder of Tether, the largest fraud in the world, and key player in manipulating price of Bitcoin. Pierce was also "coincidentally" accused of sexual abuse in 2000 and then arrested in Spain in 2002 for child sexual abuse. The emails reveal they had long discussions (& presumably other stuff) at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse, where Pierce urged Epstein to fund Tether and they even discussed the buyout of Mt. Gox, which later spectacularly rug-pulled and collapsed. Epstein also had talks with Blockstream executives, where they described Ripple and Stellar as “bad for the ecosystem we are building,” effectively working to freeze them out of shared funding circles. This coincides with the timing of the beginning of the Bitcoin maximalist campaign that spread widespread misinformation about both projects. It was also revealed that Epstein was close friends with Larry Summers (Obama/Clinton ally), who helped create Digital Currency Group (DCG), which owns Foundry USA (#1 largest Bitcoin mining pool in the world), Grayscale/GBTC (one of the largest Bitcoin ETFs), Genesis (which collapsed amid fraud allegations), and CoinDesk (#1 largest Bitcoin media site). Got it…"

I assume it should be possible to vibecode a website that is a real blog with blog posts being the fetched articles I published on Nostr, no?

Unpopular opinion on Nostr: Bitcoin is no solution for daily payments, neither is Lightning at scale. And this might ultimately make BTC irrelevant.

Happy Sunday to everyone.

I just drove to a supermarket I very rarely go to. It is smaller, in the evening they have less fresh produce. My default and the logical standard option would've been a larger one, a little further away. But something in me told me: No, today you drive to this small one. I didn't think about it, I just did. When I drove back home, I saw the road, which I would've used to return home from the larger supermarket, full with blue emergency lights and a massive traffic jam. This is intuition.

I saw this link in an email signature and honestly, I think this product is genius. But not for the reason most people think. If you cycle to the supermarket, the real unsolved problem isn't logistics. It’s psychological. There are two types of people: The Spontaneous: They arrive and subconsciously get annoyed because they know, "I'm on my bike, I can't buy much anyway" (even if they actually need more) The Planned: They either have a bike bag already (not the target group) or they came with the original thought of just grabbing a few small things. I believe you shouldn't even place this at the checkout. By then, it’s too late. The customer has already limited themselves to a few items because they didn't think they could transport a full grocery basket. If these are placed right at the entrance as a "Cargo Bike for 3€" with a slogan like "Perfect fit for two bottles of wine and dinner," then cyclists will buy MORE. If the supermarket allows cyclists to use this box as their basket inside the store (instead of the plastic ones), they will feel how stable it is while they shop. As a result they will fill it up and buy more, because they are confident it is durable enough and because they know they can carry it home on they bike. Thats why in talks with retailers, I would sell this as doubling the basket size instead of a sustainable cardboard bike bag. And because this company is German: maybe throw in a free compostable rain cover for when it rains. What do you think? Would you buy more if your bike suddenly had a "trunk for 3€"?

Allowing AI on social networks turns human souls into batteries providing the emotional charge.
