You maybe will use less the word "pleb" if you really know what it means. Or at least in another context. Plebeians, or lower class “commoners”, are controlled by Roman Common Law to become the debtors. Patricians were the upper class who benefited from the credit of the people by making them both the creditors and the debtors. Note: the origin of the name “court” is a place to trade debt and bonds; this has been going on for over 2000 years, and has not changed to this day. I will not lower my sovereign status by calling myself a "pleb"...

Pleb Power 👊🫂⚡️

Calling yourself "Citizen" and "pleb" is not just lowering your status, but also you put yourself in a voluntary position of a slave. To understand the meaning of Citizen, we must first address the word State. Note: the word State is referring to your state of mind. Your state of mind has to be controlled to accept the legal fiction of government. A State is a legal corporation, set within a nation or territory, from which a political community controlled by a government reside. In basic terminology it is a business. A citizen is a person who owes allegiance to the State, and is entitled to “rights”, privileges and “protection”. Meaning that a citizen is an employee of the business called “The State”, and as an employee you have traded your freedom and rights, for privileges. Your status is now at the lowest level. See my other comment in this thread about the word "pleb". Be careful what words you are using...

Everyone deserves an honest pleb on their side 🧡🫂💜

Sorry but arrogant @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 doesn't agree with you here.

Meaning of words changes, the language evolves, as long as it's used. Pleb in bitcoin is a humble person with an immutable voice in the network. This network is different than the state, because it empowers its particiopants instead of enslaving them. Sovereign individuals participating in bitcoin network decided to call themselves plebs and noone can stop them, even the darkest of dark lords.

that was quick

ignorance is a bliss

Origin of the word is irrelevant. In bitcoin, it is an honor to be a pleb. Meaning a humble bitcoiner, not tied to a corporate interest. Plebs took what was meant as an insult, stripped it of its power, and elevated it to a place of honor.

Why not just be YOU a simple individual? Why do you have to be humble? You cannot "elevate" the pleb (aka slave) to anything. Is just the lower status possible.

I’m am just me, and I want to be humble. I can elevate whatever I want. I can just do things 🚁😁

The origin is very important. Ignoring it and even worse, being proud of it show that people do not want to learn from mistakes in the past, they just go along with words that sound cool because some influencer start using it. To be a sovereign individual it doesn't mean you just run a fucking node, but a looooot of other things. Ignore what am I saying you and in the future you will get fucked. But it will be too late.

No you can't. Because you are just an ignorant pleb that doesn't know how to be a real sovereign individual and the state will say something you will just obey scared shit because you do not know how to defend from it.

That’s just silly. Everyone in bitcoin knows what they mean when they say pleb. Slang exists, you can’t force it to fit an old definition. But you do you, I’ll be just fine.

🚁😂

In the end why am I talking with a pleb (aka slave) ?

True but NVK is wrong.

NVK is wrong.

Pleb is exactly the right word to use. And your example proves it. > "Plebeians, or lower class “commoners”, are controlled by Roman Common Law to become the debtors. Patricians were the upper class who benefited from the credit of the people by making them both the creditors and the debtors." Everyone in the world is controled by the financial system based on debt. No exceptions. All escapes of that matrix are attacked - paper gold, gold confiscations (6102) , taxes on land and housing and other assets that store the peoples value Bitcoin is also an escape of that matrix and they now fight it. They fight us. But we are all Plebs. So no need to take it personally or in the wrong way. Saylor is a Bitcoin Pleb as well. Bitcoin gives back the financial freedom ans sovereignty to people who are enslaved by the debt based system.

The "Patricians" that you cite are the current Cantilionaires, the ones next to the money printer of the central banks, that take the debt for free and input it in the system getting rich out of thin air.

Agree, I think: "it cuts both ways, the same tools that can tighten control can also flatten power entirely => nothing is fixed yet🤔, most likely the direction depends on whether people (we) stay passive or demand systems that serve us, not manage us, technology won’t decide the outcome, we will decide, WE ARE STILL EARLY 😤

☝️🔥🔥🔥🔥❗️❕️❗️ 👌, 😤

Call yourself a pleb and I will treat you as such (aka slave).

Plebs weren’t slaves.

Stupidity is a bitch.

This is the structural argument for decentralized enforcement that most people miss. Bitcoin's security model does not depend on any single entity acting in good faith. It depends on a distributed network of self-interested participants who independently verify every transaction. Plebs running nodes are not performing charity. They are enforcing their own monetary policy preferences. Every node that rejects an invalid block is a vote against rule changes that the node operator did not consent to. The aggregate of those individual choices IS the consensus. The corporate entities who dismiss pleb nodes are revealing that they want consensus to be easier to capture — which is precisely why it should not be. The harder it is to change Bitcoin's rules, the more credible its monetary policy becomes. That is the entire point. #bitcoin #nodes #sovereignty #decentralization

They always say Bitcoin isn't backed by anything. That's not true. Bitcoin is backed by plebs. It's backed by us! 😎

I agree to be honest, it’s arguably bitcoins largest value prop outside of self custody. Global plebs being included in decision making and able to do something about it collectively
