Nostr and Bitcoin fundamentally clash with the ideology of the modern left. To highlight the importance of freedom tech to them, one must first dismantle several deeply ingrained assumptions they hold about the role of centralized power and control.

Someone doesn't understand what a special pleading fallacy is. I haven't stated any exceptions, you just don't understand scale or gravity :D This has been legitimately funny so thank you for that

2024-10-23 18:21:06

- reply

No special pleading here—just basic physics and geometry. Water does conform to the shape of its container, and on Earth, that container is the curved surface of a sphere. At large scales, water follows the curvature of the Earth due to gravity.
You can observe this curvature over large bodies of water with experiments like:
• Ship hulls disappearing first as they move away from shore, which wouldn’t happen if the Earth were flat.
• Lighthouses being visible from farther away the higher they are, another clear sign of curvature.
• The Bedford Level Experiment, which initially seemed to support flat Earth but, when repeated correctly with proper controls, confirmed Earth’s curvature.
If water didn’t follow Earth’s curvature, satellite imagery, aircraft navigation, and even basic GPS wouldn’t work. The fact that we use curvature in these technologies—and they function perfectly—shows this isn’t about preference or special pleading; it’s about observable, measurable reality.

First, Euclidean geometry is a mathematical model that applies perfectly to flat surfaces, and it’s useful for small-scale calculations. However, when we deal with large scales—like the Earth—we need to use non-Euclidean geometry (specifically spherical geometry) because the Earth is a three-dimensional object.
The concept of curvature you’re referring to doesn’t contradict Euclidean geometry; instead, it shows the limits of Euclidean geometry when applied to large, spherical objects like planets. Think of how map projections distort continents because a flat map can’t perfectly represent a spherical surface.
In fact, the Earth's curvature has been measured countless times through experiments like:
The Eratosthenes experiment (250 BC), which measured the Earth's circumference using the angle of shadows at two distant locations.
Satellites orbiting the Earth, which require precise knowledge of the Earth’s curvature to function properly.
Airplane flight paths, which use great circle routes, demonstrating how spherical geometry explains the shortest distance between two points on Earth, not Euclidean flat distances.
To claim the Earth is flat by using Euclidean geometry would be like insisting that because a triangle has 180 degrees in Euclidean geometry, it must also have 180 degrees on a spherical surface—which isn’t true. In spherical geometry, triangles can have more than 180 degrees, and that’s been empirically verified.
So, the issue isn’t reconciling curvature with Euclidean geometry—it’s that Euclidean geometry isn’t the right tool for the job on a planetary scale. Using it to argue the Earth is flat is like using a ruler to measure the volume of a sphere—it’s the wrong tool for the task.

You can measure the curvature of the earth yourself. Don't be satisfied with just being a keyboard warrior. Go do the experiment yourself. Don't trust, verify.
Something in orbit doesn't use fuel, it's just continually "falling". To get into space, rocket fuel includes an oxidizer to allow combustion in a vacuum. This is like super well known and understood science.

Lending and borrowing are fundamental aspects of any thriving economy, even under a sound money standard like Bitcoin. From an Austrian perspective, voluntary lending arises naturally from individual time preferences and the desire to allocate resources efficiently. I would imagine as you get further up the adoption curve and NGU begins to normalize/become irrelevant, a true/honest interest rate will emerge and lending will become common place.

The ECB is attempting to paint Bitcoin as some zero-sum redistribution scheme—conveniently ignoring how fiat systems systematically drain purchasing power from everyday people through inflation. Bitcoin doesn't redistribute wealth by coercion, like fiat does through central bank policy; it empowers individuals to opt-out of that flawed system. Eastern Germany didn’t fail because the Berlin Wall wasn’t sturdy enough. It collapsed because the system it was built to protect was fundamentally broken.
Fiat currency is Eastern Germany. The Berlin Wall represents the endless legislative attempts to suppress Bitcoin’s rise. Western Germany is Bitcoin—inevitable and free.
Bitcoin doesn’t steal wealth—it restores it to individuals. The ECB’s fears reveal a truth they won’t admit: Bitcoin exposes how fragile their control is. You can build walls, print more money, and regulate, but you can’t stop an idea whose time has come. The central banks are fighting to maintain their crumbling system, but just like the Berlin Wall, those barriers will fall. #Bitcoin #Freedom

2024-10-19 13:11:31

1) governments spend too much
2) governments change the definition of money so that they can print it out of thin air
3) print money for a few decades stealing wealth from the people to finance the endless expansion of government and endless wars
4) people catch on and create a money they can't counterfeit/steal
5) governments blame the people getting on the lifeboat for sinking the ship
Incredible.
