I had sats chilling in a breez wallet unused for too long and it closed the channel. It gives me a message that it's been swept to a local wallet but the app is failing and does not give me keys or access to the wallet. Some other users report this too. It's a relatively small amount, so I've been too lazy to pursue further, but
1) Don't let your channels get automatically closed (due to inactivity?)
2) Consider not Breez.

It offers a lot of parallels to "alcohol as a hobby" since there's a coffee enthusiast crowd. You can spend a lot of time perfecting your brewing craft, chasing the perfect cup, and exploring flavors.
Perhaps a crutch over just nutting up and quitting all of them but meh. Coffee don't make me turn into a jackass and it's a bit less likely to kill me early.

Suggesting bitcoin is centralized because some people put it on exchanges is kinda wild for a guy who just spent like 6 months looking at it for etf approval. That's either dishonest or an impressive misunderstanding of what makes it decentralized.

There is an immense amount of noise and most posters have little intent to engage in honest discussion, but you can find it. Honest and respectful discussion with people who strongly disagree with you is cocaine. I love it. Nothing more motivating to understand and refine my argument.

Polarization seems so difficult to approach though. I can be seen as evil by two sides of an issue. I want to have more of an impact. I want people to see things with more nuance. I want people to be more skeptical of information they take in.
Even at a local or personal relationship level, it can be discouraging. But standing on the outside of a conversation and watching it devolve sucks too.
Perhaps I need to get more comfortable with smaller influences on conversation.

Maybe the same shenanigans and imbalances can take place, but they can't last for decades. France showing up with a ship to claim gold after years of paper claims for gold building up won't be necessary. If France traded dollars for bitcoin, do a transaction. The US (or other) can't lie about how much they have and can't pretend like it's too difficult to transport or custody. Debasement will be sniffed out and rectified much more quickly.

First time I had seen this was in her lightning network article. I still see this as one of the best arguments against block size change.
Granted, I wasn't really around for block size wars, but when it comes up now, I have never seen others making that point as a case for Bitcoin. I'm surprised I don't see many re-iterate this point at all. It seems like a linchpin in Bitcoin's

I feel like I'd be shamed for naming something too new. Like it has to age and withstand the test of time before you can suggest it as a best. I find myself wanting to go to the first album that I giga latched onto to repel those criticisms.

I've probably grown to love other albums, probably at a greater personal intensity. But it doesn't feel like a legal maneuver to suggest album release post 2010.

Along with the Argentina thought experiment. Ideas and stories from Gladstein's books. Or Oslo freedom forum. Or probably content from your book about the same. Not about bitcoin, just about shitty money and monetary colonialism. I was well into the bitcoin world before it occurred to me how much of the world has to live under those circumstances, and how much we take for granted. I reckon some of these folks are relatively unaware as well.
Regardless of what you like as a hedge for poopoo money, I think some perspective on what others in the world go through is valuable.

As others noted. Follow more is the best solution, but I would also consider if you're getting content from non-followed accounts on twitter. Like the "for you" feed. Even if you use the "followed" twitter feed, consider how much of your feed is retweets of accounts you don't directly follow. That's just a network effect that nostr can't compete with for awhile. In the meantime, be the network effect you want to see in the world.
