I heard about this and am very interested in the implementation. Are they using data or stable inflation coins?

I meant sats, not "data" 🤦

Hey 👋👋

What's blacksky? Love cashu getting more traction!

Funny. They're black so they need a 'safe space'... What would everyone think if it was whitesky? I guess a bunch of black supremacists using cashu is better press than if it was a bunch of white supremacists. Good on them tho. Bitcoin is for your enemies too!

All people need private payments for different reasons. That has nothing with the color of your skin.

No I get it. Nothing against cashu or calle. Love them both. And you and your work. Thank you. I want private payments and censorship resistant decentralised networks for everyone. Just find it funny that a 'whitesky' would be a hate group and certainly wouldn't be invited to speak at a conferences. Meanwhile blacksky is featured on wired...

I will share the video addressing the history behind this movement / community when it’s available. That gives some more context.

I look forward to seeing it. Tho fair warning, my litmus test is swapping the words black for white. It makes for a level playing field.

Try reading the web page first before you react like that.

I have. They're the creators of

Here is already some more context

A bit of a tired old narrative that I lost all respect for when my story was denied because of the colour of my skin. And this despite my enthusiastic support of their stories. His hair being searched by TSA is an interesting note. I used to have dreadlocks and suffered similar persecution. I'm 'white' tho, and so was also told by both liberal white people and increasingly black people that I was culturally appropriating... Despite all of this, I have no problems with anyone telling their stories. But I lose all respect when they they build a space for people of a specific skin colour. Black or White.

I can understand that I think. I'm "white" too and sometimes I'm disturbed to find myself kind of being racist toward other white people? I think it's because I grew up in the 2010s when the culture war was at its peak. Did you know that the concept of "whiteness" was created as a legal standard to give some people certain rights and not others? It's a horrible cultural artifact. Nowadays it kind of refers to light-skinned people, but also to "white culture". I don't want to fall under that term anymore. Or I need to reclaim it in a positive way. It's all so confusing. I deal with intrusive thoughts and even now I notice myself questioning whether other people are going to think I'm... Idk. Not being sorry enough? Not constantly keeping minority groups in mind when I speak? No one should feel the need to do that. Feels like I've been put into a position of responsibility for others' comfort, and I'm not for that. Feels like I'd be criticized for even "complaining" about this. I'm a progressive but I can see why people call it themselves mind virus.
