Elon is correct in the ent in his Tweet.
Brazilians are under no obligation to obey foreign laws, just as Americans are not obligated to obey foreign laws. Andrew Torba is way ahead of Elon in this.
Elon is also at liberty to publish secret documents about Brazilian government corruption; that is his right.
Is Elon about to become the next Julian Assange? I doubt it.
Having said all of this, Elon doesn't seem to be able to make the connection between government censorship and Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is "Censorship Resistant Money". If you look at Bitcoin through this lens, it is obvious that adding Bitcoin to X would have been a genius move.
Not only would Bitcoin solve the problem of Starlink having its accounts frozen but would have many beneficial effects on a global scale.
The ability of any government anywhere to sanction or block payments to and from X and Starlink users would be eliminated.
Overnight, X would become the most important (and largest) financial institution the world has ever seen, and it would be a tremendous force for good.
The billions of unbanked people would suddenly be able to save, send and spend money; an unprecedented event with multiple order effects that no one can fully grasp.
In the long and short term, Bitcoin is good for Elon and good for everyone on Earth who believes in Democracy.
Why then, does Elon shun this manifestly obvious checkmate move?
Andrew Torba of Gab has partially embraced Bitcoin.
Jack Dorsey has gone 100% Bitcoin with Bitkey.
David Marcus has gone 100% Bitcoin.
How is it that Elon cannot see this? How is it that he thinks Bitcoin is a joke?
Your guess is as good as mine.

CEOs of the world should be very concerned with the arrest of Pavel Durov.
If Durov can be snatched off of his private jet, all CEOs are at risk of arbitrary arrest when they travel.
It should be clear, even to the democracy loving sycophant CEOs, that the current situation is intolerable, and that something must be done.
There isn't a precise, universally agreed-upon number of CEOs worldwide, as this can vary based on how "CEO" is defined and the types of organizations considered (public companies, private companies, non-profits, etc.). However, some estimates can be made based on the number of businesses globally.
According to the World Bank and other sources, there are over 300 million companies globally. While not all of these companies will have a traditional CEO (especially very small businesses), it gives a rough idea of the scale. Many medium to large enterprises will have a CEO or equivalent position.
Therefore, it is reasonable to estimate that there are tens of millions of individuals holding the title of CEO or an equivalent leadership role across the world. The exact number would be difficult to pinpoint due to the wide variety of organizations and titles used in different regions and industries.
The arrest of Pavel Durov is a direct threat to every CEO on earth.
It is obvious that there are more CEOs than there are government ministers, and since these CEOs control all industries on earth, they have the actual power, not the State.
It is clear that a world-wide strike and withholding of services from all governments as a warning to stop the rise of totalitarianism is the minimum that should be launched in response to the arrest of Pavel Durov. Perhaps if this is done once, what I propose next may not be needed.
Governments can do nothing without the CEOs facilitating their measures. The ID Cards, websites and every other service the State provides are actually done by companies under contract, each with CEOs, not by governments themselves.
If all CEOs decide as one that enough is enough, it’s over for the totalitarians, because they can’t even make a phone call without a CEO facilitating it.
A new "Chief Executives Alliance for Global Equity and Stability" (CEASE) made up of the CEOs of the world should, as its first act, work to outlaw arbitrary arrest of any citizen, so that another Durov outrage cannot happen.
CEASE will have no legislative power, but that doesn’t matter; what matters is that they can withhold services to entire nations to ensure democratically elected leaders do not violate the rights of citizens, starting with CEOs.
Does this sound like WEF 2.0? Sadly, it does, but CEASE, working in the open to protect the rights of people would be quite different to the sinister and secretive WEF. Its aims are explicitly for freedom; freedom of speech, freedom to travel legally without fear of arbitrary arrest, and the freedom to trade with others in goods and services on the basis of voluntarism.
Julian Assange would not have suffered as he did had CEASE existed when he leaked the secret criminal shenanigans of the State.
CEASE, having no legislative power, has only one means of action at its disposal; withdrawal of services. This might not seem like much, but it is in fact an extremely powerful sanction.
Imagine if the CEOs of Facebook, X, Google and Apple all decided to go dark until Durov is released. Billions of people would be affected. No government on earth has ever had that much power.
Arresting a CEO for running their business where people can speak freely could never result in an arrest in a world where CEASE existed. The price to the State would be too high; and of course, in this case, it would be France that is shut down and crippled as the very fabric of their modern world is rug pulled from under them. They would rightly calculate that it’s just not worth it.
Arresting a CEO would only be done when it is actually justified like cases of; murder, theft, and other such crimes where there is a clear victim.
Obviously this is a sketch outline of a very big idea, and if the part of your brain that powers your imagination is working and exercised, it should make you go, “hmmmmmmm!”.
One thing is for sure; sitting by watching people be hauled off to the camps should not be tolerable for anyone, CEO or not.
And lest you believe that something like this would end up creating a “Rollerball” style dystopia, remember, the consumer is more powerful as a constituency than all the CEOs and their companies combined. Ask Harley Davidson, or the owners of Bud Light, Ratner’s, and others…
1. Lehman Brothers (financial crisis and public backlash)
2. Barings Bank (collapsed after a rogue trader scandal, followed by public loss of confidence)
3. Ratners Group (renamed to Signet Group after the CEO's derogatory comments about its products led to a massive boycott)
4. Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) (decline due to a combination of factors including boycotts after the Lockerbie bombing)
5. Arthur Andersen (collapsed after the Enron scandal, leading to a boycott and loss of clients)
One of the problems this idea faces that immediately comes to mind is the diversity of CEOs. Some of them are not liberty minded. This is where boycotts by the public may help exert some measure of balance.
Either way, Durov being arrested is unacceptable, intolerable and unjustifiable, and unless you want to have your own “oh how we burned in the camps”moment, you had better consider this idea very carefully.

Complaining about something is not the same as doing something about something.

2024-08-20 23:25:44

FOSS stands for **Free and Open Source Software**. It refers to software that is both free to use (as in freedom) and whose source code is openly available for anyone to inspect, modify, and distribute. Here’s what each term means:
1. Free Software:
- "Free" in this context refers to freedom, not necessarily price. Free software grants users the freedom to run, modify, and share the software. The key principles of free software are often summarized by the Four Freedoms:
- Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose.
- Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works and change it to make it do what you wish (access to the source code is a precondition for this).
- Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others.
- Freedom 3: The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others. By doing this, you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes.
2. Open Source Software:
- Open source software is similar to free software, but the focus is more on the collaborative benefits of making the source code available. The term "open source" emphasizes that the source code is open and accessible to anyone. Users can modify the software and distribute their modified versions.
- Open source projects often involve collaboration among developers from all over the world, contributing to the software's development, bug fixes, and new features.
Examples of FOSS:
- Linux: An open-source operating system kernel that is the basis for many operating systems (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian).
- Apache: An open-source web server software.
- Firefox: A free and open-source web browser.
- LibreOffice: A free and open-source office suite.
- GIMP: A free and open-source image editor.
Benefits of FOSS:
- Transparency: Anyone can inspect the source code to verify what the software does.
- Control: Users have control over the software and can modify it to suit their needs.
- Community b: FOSS projects often have large communities that contribute to and support the software.
- Cost: Most FOSS is available at no cost, making it accessible to a broader audience.
FOSS plays a crucial role in the software ecosystem, empowering users and developers to create, share, and improve software freely.
For founders, CTOs, and developers of Bitcoin companies however, whether your code is FOSS, or not has nothing to do with asking for your users trust. Your code being free is irrelevant, and being a Bitcoin company has nothing to do with the license your software runs under.
The vast majority of users who run FOSS never read the licenses or Source Code of the tools they use; they are normal people who simply want to get things done.
Gimp, Apache, Linux, Firefox are all fine tools that the license they're offered under has no bearing on the user's experience.
People use Gimp because they could not afford Photoshop, not because the source code was available. Today, they run it because Photoshop has not been ported to any GNU+Linux operating system with the Gnome interface. If Adobe ported Photoshop to Ubuntu, everyone would abandon Gimp for PS overnight.
ColdCard is secure not because people can copy the code; it is secure because it is properly and carefully written. The license code is written under cannot affect the execution or quality of software. This is the fundamental mistake Open Source fanatics make; they think virtue signaling to people who can't write "Hello World" in PHP matters; PROTIP, it DOESN'T MATTER and NO ONE CARES.
Open Source can kill companies. If you release your source code, you are inviting people to copy your ideas and compete with you, with no advantage to yourself.
The license you use to release your source doesn't matter either when it comes to the business risk; people can read your source and then re-implement it without using your code, and then BANG you've got a clone of your service trying to knock you out of the market.
If the people who are cloning you are better funded, more clever, able to look people in the eye when being spoken to, and are affable, then you've got a real problem.
And where are all the Bitcoin Cult checklist ticking followers when your magic dust is being "stolen" or "Ripped Off"? They will be nowhere...or buying the tools and service of your competitor because you believed some cult gibberish about MUH OPEN SAUCE.
Sharing source code and licenses that compel disclosure are useful things in narrow circumstances, like tools that underpin everything; SSL, GPG, HTTPS, POP3, SMPTE, C, C++, Linux, Bitcoin and so many other tools used to build tools or build businesses. The number of developers working on these tools is astonishing and everyone benefits. This is beyond argument.
But.
Just because other Open Source tools have big developer bases, it does not follow that every tool must be open source, and that the act of disclosing your source code under the GPL will attract an army of developers commiting changes.
You will have seen this with projects breathlessly announced at conferences that failed to attract developers to do the work for free to build them, the assumption being that developers are a magic and infinite resource with infinite time to work for free on an infinite amount of projects, the sole method of recruiting them being to chant "ACK" after posting your just about running source sketches on GitLab.
This is the fact that is left out when cheerleaders for Open Source make irrational claims about Open Source being the foundation of user trust. They're not seeing the big picture, are fatally unrealistic and in fact, don't see the picture at all.
It's a safe bet that they are not using Ubuntu, Mint or any GNU+Linux operating system for their daily work either, but are in fact hypocrites using *CHOKE* MiCro$oft Winblows and Micro$oft Visual Studio Code or MacOS as their development platform. They will never tell you this of course, while they type out their pro Open Source screeds on Google Chrome or M$ Word. We all know this.
In the final (and financial) analysis, all the virtue signalling in the world will not make people use your tool. Only a small number of fanatics care about the license your work is released under, and those people will not move the needle when it comes to changing the world, and the ones that will change the world will copy your weak sauce and turn it into hot sauce.
Bitcoin changing the world does not require Open Sourced tools; it requires what google did with Chrome; blasting the competition (Internet Exploder) to smithereens with a browser that beat every other browser by being better for the consumer. Failing to understand this is in 2024 a fundamental error.
Thankfully, there are serious people coming to Bitcoin who do not care about any of this, and who are focussed on doing a narrow range of things right. Google's Chrome is focussed on browsing the internet securely and quickly in a standards based way, providing password management and a few other things along the way. A very small number of things.
They're not interested in the latest fad, and do not have a model where they keep adding new services to their offering to be cool and hip; they do one thing and do it right.
Bitcoin companies are coming that do one thing and do it right. They are extremely focussed (not laser focussed) and they know that bitcoin is for other people, not for developers. By understanding this, they will be the people who change everything.
And again when it comes to the license your tool is released under, as far as the public is concerned...
IT DOESN'T MATTER and NO ONE CARES.

If people who ran the platforms in the west did what they knew was right there would be no problem.
The actual problem is the people who own platforms do what is wrong, even when they know it is wrong.
“Multipolarity” will not solve the problem of western men who shy away from boldness or taking direct correct decisions for their users and companies.
Asking for other people to do the job you should be doing is the same as pushing the problem into the technical sphere through “decentralisation”; it’s failing to live up to your responsibilities.
Leaders of properly run companies are exactly that; LEADERS. They don’t do things by consensus, or defer to every opinion or allow themselves to be distracted or diverted. They have strict hierarchy where the CEO has final, absolute say on everything important.
And history shows this is correct, from Trump, Walt Disney, Henry Ford, to Steve Jobs; companies led by LEADERS succeed in serving the public through strength.
And this is all about serving the public. If you fail to do that, you’ve failed. Thankfully in Free Market Capitalism, Natural Law is the rule, not theory: LAW.
And make no mistake; all cultures at every scale are not equal. Some work better than others. Failing to accept this is suicidal.
But “You do you”!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a perfect encapsulation of....something.
Nostr is actually about what people think they represent; "Freedom, self sovereignty, Bitcoin".
It doesn't have to solve a real problem; all it has to do is make people feel good about themselves, so that they can, "identify" with it.
Meanwhile, in the real world that they're hiding from, access to Bitcoin is being made harder and harder by the EU (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32023R1114&pk_keyword=Crypto%20assets&pk_content=Regulation) while they Virtue Signal and spray around tiny amounts of "Sats", the origin of which is never accounted for.
Nostr is an easy place to be and hide; you don't have to take responsibility for what you're doing (or failing to do) in the real world, and you can openly Virtue Signal in several areas simultaneously. It's crack for Virtue Signallers.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the idea behind Nostr, which is just software. This is a "people problem", a problem of the character of some users, and obviously, this brush cannot be used to paint all Nostr users.
It's endlessly fascinating!

In the end, if Bitcoin is the money everyone is using, the State will have to start accepting it for the payment of taxes.
This will have many advantages for the state, as they can "Micro Tax" activities; something that is beyond the ability of the Geriatrics to conceive.
There will be an interim stage however, where the State demands that you pay it in its money, meaning you have to convert Bitcoin to fraudulent fiat. They will see, as they need to change the exchange rate twice per day, that the situation is untenable, and this will spur them on to switching to Bitcoin.
Bear in mind that once they have collected their own money as taxes, no one in the real economy will accept their money for goods and services, requiring them to buy Bitcoin just to pay salaries and live.
There is another scenario however, that indicates that the life of coerced money forms can persist indefinetly if properly managed:
THE TALLY STICK.
The Tally Stick was literally a piece of wood sawed along its length with a random zig zag that the British Crown would accept as a payment method for settling tax bills.
The power to enforce payment methods backed by violence is how this worked so well:
https://youtu.be/WVJHCiD_Ukg?si=GN9BUsKyz_q1I4Jc
It's hard to describe the great depth of genius behind the concept of the Tally Stick. By doing this, the crown managed to create money out of nothing, and build a sound economy on it, whilst remaining at its centre as the essential manager.
Bitcoin with its jagged edged keys made of text is very much like a Tally Stick, but without an issuer or the need for saws or supervision. All of this is missed by the vast majority of Bitcoiners because they're ignorant.
Nevertheless, it is possible to build different kinds of economies on Bitcoin, and if used by the replacement central banks, can be the fundamental base layer like the Tally Stick.

You can’t “Stack Sats”, to use the Bitcoin Cult lingo, without there being a means to distribute Sats to Stackers, and no, not everyone is an US American with a bank account, genius.
Also, the entire rest of the world switching to Bitcoin, and not just Americans, will cause a sea change in the dynamics of many problems. Think GSM vs CDMA. America can lose international standards wars. That’s proven.
The fundamental layers of Bitcoin are powerful enough to make the dream of hyperbitcoinization come true, if the people who maintain the tools and businesses eschew infantilism like Ordinals and “Assets on the Blockchain” and “Stablecoins”; perhaps the most egregious affront to Bitcoiner sensibilities and ethics.
The inventor of Ordinals has now “moved on to other things” having left behind a literally indelible legacy of shame, with his acolytes continuing to pollute and burden maintainers of the public record. He’s the personification of one of the great remaining problems facing Bitcoin: Infantilism.
"Dollars on Bitcoin” is the direct result of slave mentality and infantilism. The Austrians understand the dynamics of the problem of the Federal Reserve, but amongst them Saifedean is almost unique in correctly applying Austrianism to Bitcoin.
The Bitcoin Cult on the other hand have proven not up to the challenge with their distractions, infantile absurdities and nonsense. They refuse to accept the basic argument implied by Bitcoin; the Federal Reserve Dollar is a corrupt criminal enterprise that is irredeemable.
Thankfully many other countries are waking up to how they’ve been enslaved by Keynesian thinking and turned into Cargo Cults with their Central Bank funny money printed abroad and delivered in Security Theatre stocking rituals. These countries now have the means to free themselves from fiat prostitution, and it’s now highly probable that they’ll do it, thanks to the constant streams of provocations and humiliations doled out by Uncle Sam.
Victory for America means allowing Bitcoin to be used as money and accepting it for the payment of taxes, not geriatric gibberish like “Strategic Reserves”, which as Saifedean correctly asserts, will not be permitted by the owners of the Federal Reserve System, who are the actual owners of America.

People swooning over RFK's pledge to make the US Government horde Bitcoin are completely wrong to think it is a clever move. It isn't.
What it does is prove that RFK has been brainwashed into the Bitcoin Cult "Hodl" mindset, which is an unfortunate, but short term aberration.
What the correct policy is is that Uncle Sam should begin to take Bitcoin as a method of payment for all US Taxes.
By doing this, Uncle Sam will begin to build up a Fort Knox level hoard of Bitcoin, collected through the normal process of government, which everyone must accept.
The people saying that the US Government should have a strategic Bitcoin Reserve are making the claim that Uncle Sam should make a bet against the Federal Reserve. That's crazy.
Niy of course, Bitcoiners know that the Federal Reserve isn't Federal at all, and is a private consortium created to steal from the American people. But we're not talking about that today.
The correct strategy is to allow Americans to pay taxes in Bitcoin. To incentivise this, a 1% discount should be offered to all taxpayers paying in Bitcoin.
If this were the policy, Uncle Sam would very quickly develop a large hoard of Bitcoin, through the normal process of government.

Bitcoin was not designed to give the world access to the Nation State's fiat currencies. It was designed to replace those currencies completely.
Fiat currencies and their natures are not changed by “Bitcoinising” them, which is not even possible. The Central Banks and Federal Reserve still have control over the money supply which is the fundamental problem witih them and the reason why Bitcoin has a fixed supply.
The doublethink going on with Stablecoins is breathtaking. On the one hand, advocates of stablecoins (mostly U.S. Americans) claim to want a Bitcoinized world, but on the other hand, they want the poorest in the world to have easy access to the heroin of fiat US Dollars. Why?
Imagine going to a witch doctor who told you that in order solve a problem in his country you had to cut off your right foot and nose. You would never do that, because you know that’s insane.
Why then would you listen to a person who is completely ignorant about The US Dollar Problem when it comes to designing any solution, and uncritically give them exactly what they ask for?
Of course, you would not do this, any more than you would give a toddler a loaded hair trigger pistol. And you would not suggest that someone who is a drug addict should be given Heroin just because he says it's what he wants.
There are arguments for giving people what they want, in order to not be a “Colonialist” imposing Bitcoin and sound money on others but these arguments don’t apply here. It is entirely the fault of the west that the fiat US Dollar has infected, exsanguinated and wrecked foreign countries, and so to remedy this, asking these people if they want stronger Heroin is just nuts.
Never forget while we're at it, that in a free market, people are at liberty to develop whatever tools and services they want and then launch them to see if the market will accept them. You can’t be for the free market and then say people should not produce whatever they want and try to serve people in ways they think are correct. That includes toxic Stablecoins and phantasmic fiat assets on the Blockchain.
Nevertheless, in the world you are living in where the fiat US Dollar is ruining everything, it is hard to unpack the thinking that makes the claim that spreading poison to the weak is beneficial to mankind. Spreading the US Dollar poison will extend the life of fiat for sure should it take off, and that cannot be a good thing.
Saying that this is an interim stage to hyperbitcoinization is just a rationalization, and cannot cover the unethical nature of what it being offered.
And consider competition. Companies who want to get ahead of this sad fad and choke it off will go the traditional rails route by offering near friction free US Dollar account apps to anyone who wants them without the “Blockchain” smoke and mirrors.
Offering US Dollars on MySQL is indistinguishable from offering them on “Blockchains” as far as the user is concerned and very much less difficult and risky technically for companies to implement. You're not relying on a single vendor that can make mistakes and that treats the ecosystem as a massive game.
Something like this, MySQL Dollars could spread virally and more easily than apps that have “Blockchain” fairy dust mixed in with them, and so that moat does not exist in any real way.
And please don't intone, "But it would not be decentralized!" No one who these services are designed for knows or cares about "decentralization" or the other sacraments of The Bitcoin Cult. They only care about the effect that shows up in their app, not the underlying network architecture.
On the one hand, these people vaunt decentralization, but on the other, think centralized fiat is what people want and need, and don't seem to accept that if the user's needs come first, then if you're going to abandon Bitcoin, why not abandon decentralization and offer US Dollars over MySQL? They're totally illogical from the root up.
And then there is the problem of The State. "If you are offering 'assets' you are regulable", will be the SEC narrative. It is hard to imagine how this is not the case. I imagine we will soon see.
If this is the case, then not only will the “asset” issuance part of any platform be impacted, but the software tentacles that reach back in to the pure Bitcoin part of any system used to issue those “assets” will also be impacted, if the two systems are inextricably interwoven and not modular.
If the fiat US Dollar problem is real, and the death of the US Dollar inevitable, then everything built on US Dollars is also doomed to die a catastrophic death with it.companies offering easy access to US D ollars on MySQL without “Blockchain” magic will be left unimpacted to thrive and dominate, because they did not play word and architecture games and served people directly with what they needed without tricks.
In the future, where will Bitcoin be in all of this?
If the fiat US Dollar problem is real, and the death of the US Dollar inevitable, then everything built on US Dollars is also doomed to die a catastrophic death with it.
What might be left behind is an Aerogel financial network where Bitcoin touches everything, all US Dollars having been evaporated by the solvent of the market, the value stored in Stablecoins being inherently worthless and evil. True Bitcoiners know this.
Putting US Dollars on Bitcoin is not a step forward, it is a step backward. It is a step for evil. It promotes evil and spreads evil. It entrenches the strength of the US Dollar, and doubletalk about using Bitcoin’s liquidity as a transport layer is smoke and mirrors, techno babble, and jargonism, as is “Bitcoinizing the US Dollar” which is pure Bitcoin Cult nonsense on its face.
I have no doubt that the people who seek to spread the US Dollar are not ill willed and are simply gravely mistaken. They are not the first to be mistaken about the US Dollar and it's nature, and they certainly will not be the last while the US Dollar continues to exist.
The market will determine their fate, that and the violence of the State.

The Bitcoin cultists think that Nostr could prevent Biden's handlers from making statements on his behalf. They're totally delusional, obviously.
Let's say that Biden needed to use a fingerprint to Tweet. All someone would need to do is take his finger, whether attached to him or not, to make a Tweet "as Biden". And all the delusional drones who think, "signing proves identity." are just that; completely delusional and unaware of how anything actually works:
https://medium.com/@beautyon_/beach-boy-bitcoin-64f62bed4c7e
Noster can't fix everything, and neither can Bitcoin; and there is a class of Bitcoiner that has shifted this narrative from "Bitcoin fixes this" to "Nostr Fixes this". It's the same Bitcoin Cult under a different name.
People who think software services like X, Bitcoin and Nostr are "technologies" betray their complete lack of understanding of what a technology is. Services are not technologies; they are made out of technologies.
And if you think a "signing key" will protect the launch procedure from being hijacked, you really don't understand how signing keys work, probably never used GPG, and are ignorant of the history of Cryptography.
Which is fine. No one can be expected to know everything.
These things are being said because it is important for people who prefer not to be ignorant hear them to reign in the drooling fanboyism that masquerades for insight. They throw around words like "Open Source" and "Centralized" not knowing what these things mean or whether or not practical use can be made of them. They also don't like it when "Open Source" is used against them as intended, when their work is forked and someone makes a copy of it for profit.
Publishers of books are the worst offenders in this, breathlessly talking about "Open Source" whilst protecting their books with copyright.
One of the rare exceptions is Boldrin and Levine's "Against Intellectual Monopoly" that you can download for free AND buy on Amazon. Not so clever people think they're being smart by finger pointing Boldrin and Levine for selling their books thinking they're not available for free, only to be silenced by pointing to the URL where they are. How pathetic.

Thankfully, Bitcoin can't suffer from the delusions of these people, who are toxic and retarding of the expansion of Bitcoin's use. Once again, if Bitcoiners can't overcome the voices of these people then it was always doomed to fail.
So far. It is THEM that are failing, not YOU.

"Huxley" by Ben Mauro is a graphic novel series set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi universe. The story follows two scavengers who discover an ancient robot named Huxley and embark on an adventure that could alter the fate of the galaxy.
The series is known for its richly detailed artwork and complex world-building, reflecting Mauro's extensive experience as a senior concept designer and art director for major gaming franchises like "Halo" and "Call of Duty," as well as films like "The Hobbit" and "Elysium".
In addition to the graphic novels, the Huxley universe spans various media, including NFTs, games, and a planned feature film. The narrative explores themes of survival and discovery in a world devastated by a nuclear holocaust, with surviving humans building flying cities and adapting to harsh conditions on the ground.
The game "Huxley: The Dystopia," a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter (MMOFPS), was developed by H-Studio, a division of the South Korean company Webzen Inc..
If Webzen, the company that wrote this game decided to use a shared MySQL database with Ubisoft Montreal, the owners of Rainbow 6 Seige, the players of HUXLEY: The Dystopia would be able to enter their Rainbow 6 Seige login details to use the in game money “Renown” in HUXLEY: The Dystopia. Instead they decided to use the options below, both of which allow access to users of other databases.
Coinbase uses its own MySQL database to keep track of who has bought what Bitcoin or Etherium; why are their databases different to the databases running at Ubisoft?
They’re not different. THEY’RE EXACTLY THE SAME.
Therefore the question is this, “why are databases in Coinbase treated differently to databases at Ubisoft or Webzen or…Nintendo?”
And in case you didn’t know, genius, Bitcoin is just another database. It is not money at all, any more than Renown is.
No one has managed to provide an explanation for this different treatment of identical databases. It’s perplexing.
And I can tell you right now, that when people pretending to understand Bitcoin who are tasked with making legal judgements about it are asked this question, they have no answer. They are silent.
These legally trained non field experts are in fact imposters who don’t understand anything about Bitcoin, video games, databases, webhooks, webviews, iframes, software or anything about the contexts, realities, facts and common practices that are now decades old.
It’s also incredible that so many people “in Bitcoin” are also impostors; claiming that Bitcoin is money, that it is fundamentally different to MySQL and that it should be treated differently in law to any other database.
These people explanation for these deceived “Bitcoiners” is that they’re in a cult.
What is your excuse?

There is nothing more strange than people cosplaying as nonconformists who are in fact ultra conformists, taking on every trend, sacrament and lunacy of the State and putting it on as a badge of honor.
What utter nutcases!
They think that by doing this, by accepting everything, they're being "Open Minded" but in fact, what they're demonstrating is they've been brainwashed to be MKULTRA level "Blank Slated".
They will accept literally anything that comes out of the TV, embrace it, reflect it and promote it on command. Even their petty, wafer thin arguments and insults are taken from the playbook of the State.
That's why they use CIA created terms like "Conspiracy Theorist", thinking that using that term is completely destructive of any argument put to them.
These "men" are the "Useful Idiots", and as I've said before, there are many Useful Idiots in the Bitcoin Cult.
If these people really understood the effects that Bitcoin as money, the only money, on their beloved "Society", they would turn on it and fight to the death to destroy it.
They delude themselves that Bitcoin is "A Community" and other feel good nonsense as a psychological self protection denial strategy to excuse themselves from participating and promoting an idea that is 100% corrosive to their ideologies...which are, of course, not their ideologies at all, but that are in fact, ideologies trained into their disorderly Blank Slate minds by the State.
Once again, this is why it is so important to get the people who actually control things on side with Bitcoin, because it is those people who are brainwashing the members of The Bitcoin Cult, in addition to being in control of the major rails.
Once the Blackrocks, Banks, Rail Operators and different Nation States have all adopted Bitcoin, then they will brainwash their millions of hapless minions to accept it too, on whatever terms they're told to accept it. And they will accept, and promote and protect it, as if it was theirs and the idea came from them.
It is already proven that even "Hard Core" Bitcoiners can be switched from "Bitcoin Only" to "synthetic dollars too" as a completely acceptable idea, so it is abundantly clear that no real thinking or philosophical positioning or ethics are at work with them.
And don't even start on the purely anti-Bitcoin Ordinals debacle. These people are as leaves in the wind, followers of fashion; "Brown is the new Black", grasping at every fad, distraction and nonsense. They can be told that night is day and they will truly believe it, and repeat it, without torture (https://youtube.com/watch?v=EoDOazaijYY&ab_channel=HigherQualityUploads).
This is "Blank Slate" thinking, which in many ways, is worse than The Bitcoin Cult, because at least with the Cult, education is taking place with people who can be caused to join through careful persuasion. The "Blank Slaters" (https://youtube.com/watch?v=gAYOHh0B-4k&ab_channel=VadaVada) just accept anything they're told no matter how crazy or counterintuitive or anti-Bitcoin it is. No thinking or discernment is going on of any kind. YIKES!
Despite all of these problems, it is clear that Bitcoin is on a trajectory to do what it was designed to do, and the cosplaying, reality denying, wind blown, upside down circus clown, joiner, brainwashed, "Vassal of the State", shallow, uninspiring Useful Idiot class are already diminishing in influence.
Is it their own fault? I don't believe it is.
Brainwashees are victims of the State. They have been poisoned and systematically erased by vicious liars who have horribly mistreated and permanently damaged them. It's not their fault.
In the parallel universe one planck length away from this one, these people are virtuous, discerning, un gullible and very useful. They are not altcoiners, time wasters, Ordinal fans, threadbare hangers on or infantilized. They are problem solvers, not problem shirkers. They don't shrink from a challenge. They are strong, resilient, brave and patient; they're careful and powerful.
They are not objectionable. They have intellect with discipline; they use power for constructive purpose.
They are logical.
And lest anyone be in doubt, they're a riot to be with.
But that's the parallel universe. You are inhabiting this universe. And...that's...interesting...isn't it?!

"You can't print missiles"
Fuentes is very very close to the true reason why Bitcoin was written and its super power.
If you can't print money, you can't print missiles.
IF it is true that the stockpiles are running low all over the west (it is) then this means that they have to selectively use the weapons remaining to achieve short term goals. IF they wait to attack Iran, this gives Iran time to arm and become a threat.
This is the calculation they're making.
Russia has won, and cannot be defeated or even realistically challenged. So the calculus is to retreat from confrontation with Russia, saving face if possible, and then using the last of the weaponry on Iran, before a restocking exercise worth hundreds of billions in contracts is agreed.
All of this goes away if Bitcoin suddenly becomes the money of the entire world.
It will mean all inter State competition on Earth will be for Bitcoin and the people who can understand how it works under the hood.
There can no longer be steal taxes of inflation, and lying about what inflation is will not help; fiat is dead.
All of this is within grasp, and more and more people are waking up to it.
Iran, if it wanted to be really clever would totally abandon all nuclear development and wait for the dollar system to collapse. In fact, they should contribute to its collapse by adopting Bitcoin.
Now that would be REALLY clever.
Thankfully under President Trump, America is turning pro Bitcoin and will pinch off any possibility of other countries dominating in it.
All he has to do is allow the Constitution to do its work
https://medium.com/swlh/why-america-cant-regulate-bitcoin-8c77cee8d794
And then America's enemies will fall because the dollar system has collapsed and they will have no means of exchange other than with Bitcoin...which they don't have and can't generate in the short term.
SUPER INTERESTING!

Note how Apple releases these things without asking permission.
This is how all companies should behave by default. Don’t ask permission. Release the code.
“Don't ask for permission, ask for for forgiveness later”
PGP, BitTorrent and so many other world changing tools were released in this way.
This is why I like Apple. They are leaders, and actually care about their users to the extent that they will take risks for them on a global scale.
Wait till they incorporate Bitcoin.

This is correct in sentiment, but it doesn't actually mean anything in practice.
What does "defending" mean? It means nothing when it comes to how people get Bitcoin.
The only way you can preserve the power to buy Bitcoin in ways that you want is to either
A: Set up a business that does it
B: Promote businesses that do it
If you are unwilling or unable to set up a business yourself, you're left with promoting and supporting businesses that provide access to Bitcoin in ways you know are correct.
If you fall short of doing this, the obvious question is "why"?
Why would you fail to promote businesses that are taking the multivariate risks to provide Bitcoin in the way that you want?
How is it that people believe that business can exist without people using them, and that failing to promote and support businesses doing things right is essentially suicidal?
How is it that in 2024, there are people who don't understand this, and that particularly in "Bitcoin" the profit motive is frowned upon?
If they think that "Non KYC" Bitcoin can spread without businesses being the spreader, why do they not ever offer that alternative, even in outline?
Not only do they fail to mention the name of any Bitcoin delivery service, they consistently fail to mention any wallet that does not require personally identifying information (Samourai, Green, Wallet of Satoshi, BlueWallet, Muun, Satoshi, Phoenix and Breez for examples).
It's baffling.
And of course, Azteco (azte.co) offers access to Bitcoin in the way it should be delivered; exactly the same as email accounts, SIM cards and bags of potatoes.
The man in the street who knows nothing about Bitcoin but who encounters it through Azteco first, will never accept any service that asks him for his personal details, not through any philosophical objection, but because he doesn't want his precious time wasted.
That will be enough to make "non KYC Bitcoin" the global default, and that's a good thing, because it is a good thing that people have privacy, promote privacy and the people who offer it as a feature.
A world without privacy would be a bad place, and silence in the face of evil is evil itself.
You defend privacy by openly advocating for it, explaining it, and spreading information about the companies and services ("Ethical Bitcoin") that offer it. This is what you should be doing if you are interested in Bitcoin.
No excuses are acceptable in 2024!

Skeef is 100% correct. You will buy Bitcoin and you will be happy.
And don't wait for your favorite Bitcoin Influencer to tell you this is available around the corner from you, or that it has even happened. You will not hear it from them.
Very soon, Azteco will be available all over the USA, and we are doing this so that the normie can buy Bitcoin in a trivially easy manner, totally bypassing the 1st generation Bitcoiner thinking and methods.
This is the way we will transform Bitcoin distribution, with the aid of the best Bitcoin wallets and a new (to the consumer), better way of thinking about what Bitcoin actually is and how you should get it.
When this happens, Bitcoin will be essentially ubiquitous. It will be everywhere, like McDonalds.
And there are no “McDonald’s Conferences” or people wearing McDonald’s t-shirts worn by anyone but people who work at McDonald’s.
Bitcoin as Burgers and Fries. Bitcoin as Potato Chips.
Bitcoin as Steak Frits.
Bitcoin as a Pint of Bitter.

"Get bitcoin off exchanges"
And THEN WHAT? Get your Bitcoin WHERE?
"And get your Bitcoin from Azteco"
There, I said if for you/me!
Don't compromise when you buy Bitcoin. There is absolutely no reason why you should use an exchange if you are not super rich or a business.
If you claim to be a "pleb" you don't get your Bitcoin from an exchange; that's what Patrician, aristocracy class like Jamie Dimon does, not a common pleb who wants to "Stay Humble and Stack Sats".
HONESTLY!

An interesting micro trend is playing out thanks to GEPOTUS signalling support for Bitcoin mining happening in the USA. This character, who is a, "...teacher and Bitcoiner. Author of A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin.", is s member of the class of "Bitcoiner" for whom everything is academic and not real.
This character does not mine Bitcoin, does not sell access to it, does not develop software that runs with it, doesn't design, conceive or do anything that means taking risk.
He has written a book. About "Progressivism" (Socialism) and Bitcoin.
It's another case of someone trying to shoehorn their bad philosophies into something that everyone agrees is one of the most exciting events ever across several disciplines.
This book is not like Saifedean's crucial and essential book, which has a clear purpose and utility in that it tells the truth about economics and Bitcoin to the ignorant simultaneously and very successfully; this is a book designed to steer Bitcoin thinking into Progressivism, to mischaracterize Bitcoin and do all the other fallacious things Progressives do and slobber over.
There are other people like this; the "Bitcoin Socialists", the "Community" obsessives and the hyphenated Bitcoiners who plop their self assigned category name as prefix to the word word Bitcoin, thinking that that's any sort of requirement to use and benefit from it or associate with it.
Sad!
And there are many people who think like this. They on the surface can appear to be Bitcoiners, but in fact all they're doing is reciting from the Bitcoin Cult Liturgy. You've seen them do it most commonly as they try to describe Bitcoin. There are words you must use in the right order to be recognised as a member, and they all do it. I've overheard it whilst wading in a swimming pool on a blistering day in El Zonte. Incredible brainwashing.
The illusion breaks however when these same people talk about sound money and "Bitcoin only" and then start promoting Ordinals. They can't understand why Ordinals are toxic to Bitcoin because they never understood what Bitcoin was for, and are using at the most downstream part of it; it's just another excuse for having a rave up...
...and there's nothing wrong with having a party.
There is nothing wrong with having a wrong opinion either, especially in a world where Bitcoin is the only money, because in that world, opinions don't matter, Progressivism doesn't matter, Socialism doesn't matter; only Bitcoin Matters, and having Bitcoin, and being able to obtain it and then use it.
Jason can believe whatever he wants. He can vote Biden. He can vote Kennedy. None of that matters now that Bitcoin exists...barring WW3, which wipes all the chess pieces off the board. The only thing that matters is the rapid dissemination of Bitcoin to everyone on Earth. PERIOD.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is a Real thing. Simply mentioning "Orange Man" to these people drives them berserk with rage; they're victims of Mainstream Media Programming, and of course, they will never admit that they've been brainwashed. Why would they? How could they?
Being "Bitcoiners", they've been gulled into believing that they're a breed apart from everyone, and that's very probably not true, since their opinions are completely pedestrian and malleable like the lowest of the lowest common denominator peasant; blowing like a leaf in the wind at the fetid breath of Rachel Maddow and MSNBC whispered into their earwax smeared ear holes.
Once again, you will never be rid of these people, Bitcoiner. They are here for the duration of your life. Your job is to protect yourself and your family from them by accumulating Bitcoin, spreading Bitcoin as quickly as possible and using those actions to create a defensive wall to stop their votes from stealing your life from you and your children.
You may not like the sound of all of this, and believe that (because this is the way you are) everything you read like this is posturing and said merely for effect. Projection is the base and vulgar fundamental technique the lowbrow mind blind and ignorant use to protect themselves and their threadbare mentalities from upset; it is "ORANGE MAN: BAD" it is "THE PROTOCOL ALLOWS IT" and other things that collectively encapsulate the direct result of fiat and fiat education and brainwashing.
Down with it.
Down with them all.
UP Bitcoin!

It appears (naturally) that some Bitcoiners don't understand at least two things.
America is not a totalitarian state. If all Bitcoin mining moved to the USA, and Americans asserted their rights that Bitcoin it not money (which they refuse to concede, being fully paid up members of THE CULT), then there would be...
NOTHING TO STOP BITCOIN MINING IN THE USA. IT WOULD BE FULLY PROTECTED UNDER THE LAW; THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION, DULLARDS.
https://medium.com/swlh/why-america-cant-regulate-bitcoin-8c77cee8d794
And of course, just because all sane miner owning companies have move to the USA, this does not...
PREVENT ANYONE ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH FROM RUNNING MINING FARMS IN ANY COUNTRY ON EARTH, YOU COMPLETE, UTTER EEJITS.
What GEPOTUS unleashing Bitcoin would do is increase competition at the nation state level, incentivising countries to relent with their retarded Bitcoin regulation, just as what happened with France and its insane regulation of public key cryptography.

Many years ago, there was a Bitcoin exchange called MPEx, run by the late great Mircea Popescu.
The design of this exchange was brilliant and radical on a technical level, an expression of the genius of one of the greatest Bitcoiners; a man who is sorely missed by all true Bitcoiners.
This exchange had many users, one of which was infamous altcoiner Erik Voorhees.
Mircea Popescu was approached by the US government's SEC to reveal details of Erik's use of MPEx, and Mircea instantly lept to the defense of his client, refusing in the most scintillating and scathing terms to aid the SEC in any way, shape or form.
https://archive.is/Qcll3
You can read his responses for yourself
https://tinyurl.com/msduxfn2
eye opening, inspiring and highly instructive.
This, my dear readers, is exactly how all CEOs should approach any attack from the State, or its infiltrating Apratchicks who have snuck on to the staff.
If all CEOs behaved like Mircea Popescu, then many of the problems you as users of Bitcoin experience would vanish in a puff of smoke.
All the users complaining and posting screenshots showing Gemini asking weird questions that make absolutely no sense in reference to how they use "their" Bitcoin, that in this or any other universe are considered insane, and all the other "power over" abuses you've seen would not be happening.
And Bitcoin would have spread further into the world than it has today as a result.
The role of the CEO is not to Virtue Signal by patting the needy on their heads and other showy things that whilst good in a normal world are absolutely bizarre in the real world, where users are under attack and their rights are daily abused and the Bitcoin ecosystem itself is under constant pressure from enemies.
If we had more Mircea Popescu types, the Bitcoin ecosystem would be far better off than it is today; more resilient, more widespread and more useful at any scale, since it would not be mediated by cowards and weaklings.
Mircea Popescu cannot be a model for anyone I'm afraid, and there is no factory that can produce more of them.
Why is that?
The reason why, is that what I'm talking about in Mircea Popescu is a man of character. A man who understands what power is, and how to wield it justly.
Mircea bailed out OpenBSD
https://tinyurl.com/2xfn7j7h
and did many other things in secret that have changed the course of history for the better; that is what everyone should expect, not Virtue Signalling, pandering and being a willing cowering prisoner in a gaol of your own making as a way of life.
It should be obvious to everyone now that when the right man is in charge of something, amazing things can happen that can change the world rapidly.
Elon, for all his many faults, has radically shifted the overton window in the matter of free speech, and caused millions of users to breathe easier by having the threat of their speech cut off removed.
Imagine if this happened in Bitcoin services!
Imagine for a moment, that Bitcoin has no restrictions on how it can be used, and that you can use many services in whatever way you want without any fear that anything can go wrong.
Using Bitcoin like using an iPhone to browse the web at will.
This is unimaginable for anyone inured to the cancerous adversarial culture that has metastasized in "The Bitcoin Community", but for those not infected, the very idea of this makes goosebumps break out all over your skin.
In order for this to come to pass, well designed tools and services that can touch the public are an absolute prerequisite. This is what has been missing for many years for different reasons, but now there is no longer any excuse, and it is a matter of character and will.
You've seen how paradigm shifting services have been launched before from different companies run by fearless mavericks. The world is better off when CEOs are fearless mavericks like Mircea Popescu and Steve Jobs; they are the ones that make the great leaps, and they're sorely needed and will always be needed.
And in case you can't understand this, this is not about starting a very successful company after the groundwork has been done by mavericks; this is about being a groundbreaking maverick.
It's easy to pivot to a keyboardless phone design after Apple have broken the hypnotic Emperor's New Clothes spell of "ALL PHONES NEED KEYBOARDS".
Someone had to do it first.
Someone had to show some guts.
Someone had to reject bad advice.
Someone chose not to run away from imaginary problems.
Someone chose to take the commercial risk.
Bitcoin is going to win. It is a question of when and not if.
We know from the death of the AOL era, that all business models that don't conform to reality are destroyed in the end, and that it doesn't matter how big you are now; you will be destroyed by the market and by entrepreneurs with guts and character.
Bitcoin is no different. The people who are willfully and ignorantly choosing to serve people in ways that are sub optimal, because some pig ignorant Ambulance Chaser told them to, are going to lose in the end.
Losing in this scenario doesn't mean not making money; in 1999, AOL’s market capitalization soared to around $222 billion.
But look at them now. Not only is AOL no longer a standalone entity with its own market capitalization; it is now a mere element in a portfolio managed by Apollo Global Management.
It's dead.
This is the fate of all businesses that are not run by mavericks who embrace risk. Apple is what it is today precisely because Jobs was a risk taker.
If you think Apple is big, just wait till the "Final FinTech Unicorn" emerges that will be built on Bitcoin. Nothing like it has been possible in the past, because Bitcoin did not exist.
In the "Final FinTech Unicorn" future, Bitcoin regulation will be a thing of the past, just as regulation of the web today is a fantasy of EU witches with short haircuts. The web is an unstoppable force for good. Most people know it and nothing can stop it.
The same will be true for Bitcoin, only the changes it will unleash will be far greater than many people can begin to imagine.
"Do you want to be remembered as one of the people who helped make it happen, or not?"
That is the question everyone needs to ask themselves.
I asked ChatGPT to, "List ten of the most revered and beloved tech CEOs of the last 40 years".
It returned...
1. Steve Jobs (Apple Inc.)
2. Tim Cook (Apple Inc.)
3. Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX, X)
4. Reed Hastings (Netflix)
5. Jack Ma (Alibaba Group)
6. Shantanu Narayen (Adobe)
7. Marc Benioff (Salesforce)
8. Meg Whitman (HP, eBay)
9. Jensen Huang (NVIDIA)
10. Daniel Zhang (Alibaba Group)
Yikes. That's quite the list isn't it?
And you can't buy your way on to that list by Virtue Signalling. You've got to earn your place on it by doing real things that serve other people, without fear or favor.
Quite the task, isn't it?!

Why You Can’t Understand Bitcoin
Here are some of the reasons why people can’t understand Bitcoin. It’s taken years to dispel the many myths, misunderstandings and lies that have swirled around Bitcoin. Here is what ails the stragglers.
Computer Illiteracy
You can’t understand Bitcoin because you are Computer Illiterate. This means you have little to no understanding of how your devices or accounts work, and very probably have no interest either. You use Microsoft Windows, “Because its the Standard” . You don’t care how things work as long as they appear to work. You defend your ignorance like the Beavers shore up their dams.
This class of user is a massive problem, not only because they are computer illiterate; most people can get along without knowing the intricate details of the tools they use. They are a massive problem because they are computer illiterate, and they insist on “having their say” about Bitcoin, how it should be treated by market actors, by developers and how Bitcoin itself works.
Crypto Illiteracy
You can’t understand Bitcoin because you are Crypto Illiterate. You don’t encrypt your email, despite knowing that the State and other attackers can and do read all your emails and look at your photos. You prefer wilful, blissful ignorance to easily obtained absolute security, and when pushed to explain why you behave in this irrational way, have only platitudes, fallacies and learned by rote garbage as a response.
This user presents a cultural challenge to anyone who wants privacy to be the default. Many great efforts, aside from the writing of privacy enabling software like GPG, have been undertaken for years, and its only now that that work is bearing fruit in the form of mass adoption on Instant Messaging platforms. There is a long way to go before we achieve total blackout, but now the light at the end of the tunnel is approaching.
Monetary Illiteracy
You can’t understand Bitcoin because you are a Monetary Illiterate. Monetary illiterates come in serveral forms, but there are a small number that are the worst of the worst, and they are responsible for the majority of what’s wrong in this category; Keynesians and Statists. Keynesians believe that the money supply must increase forever. This is a lie. It’s like arguing that the number of numbers must increase over time because the number of things you need to measure is always increasing.
This user of government money is a problem to anyone who wants a stable economy and an end to the warfare state. The inflationary fiat currencies in use today are toxic to liberty, prosperity and peace, and this was one of the reasons Bitcoin was developed; to create a money that was separate from the State, economically sound, global and irrevocable. Monetary illiteracy is what stops people clamouring for sound money. They have no idea they are being robbed on a daily basis. If they understood what was being done to them, it would be pitchforks and bonfires in every world capital.
Statism
You can’t understand Bitcoin because you are a Statist. A Statist is a man or woman who believes that only the State should be the final arbiter of every activity man can engage in. In Bitcoin, Statists are a constant irritant and lethal toxin. Their belief that people should be forbidden from sending messages to each other over a public network is un-American and completely irrational. You don’t need to identify yourself to use WhatsApp, and its messages are fundamentally no different to Bitcoin; its encrypted with the same “tech” Bitcoin uses, yet these Statists can’t explain why the latter should require a passport to use and the former does not.
This user is delusional, violent and extremely destructive to human progress. She believes everyone must be dragged down to her level of base stupidity, and is very often a monstrous admixture of all the bad qualities listed above and below, increasing her toxicity. Once again, these people are not content to wallow in their own mud; they insist on dirtying and contaminating everything they touch with their error, making it increasingly difficult to get work done, make progress, integrate seamlessly with the market and help humanity. Eventually these people are always swept away by the flow of history, but when they are at their peak, they are a constant chafing, sore making irritant.
Clinical Paranoia
You can’t understand Bitcoin because you are Clinically Paranoid. People with paranoid personality disorder are very suspicious of other people. They often feel that they are in danger, and constantly look for evidence to support their irrational suspicions. They have trouble seeing that their distrustfulness is out of proportion to their environment. There are many people like this, who will (for example) immediately select only the perceived flaws in a new device or service, rather than the obvious benefits. In Bitcoin, an example of this would be immediately pointing out that it can be used by criminals to pay debts. Once again, this demographic overlaps with some of the other categories listed here.
This user is highly distracting and negative, and they exist in every generation. The same class of individual made bogus, unsubstantiated claims the State had broken PGP (it never did) and today, they claim that Bitcoin is broken (it isn't) or that some vendor with a radical new design is vulnerable to an abstract Straw Man Flaw (nonsense). It appears that we will be stuck with these types forever as there are always insane people in every generation, and the only way they can be shut up is if mass adoption of the trigger for their paranoia makes it socially unacceptable to spread FUD. There are only two good things about these types: 1) They sometimes provide healthy analysis. 2) They are powerless, since they don’t overlap with the State when talking only about the hardware and software.
Eventually, as the killer Bitcoin business model emerges, everyone will settle on the correct definition of Bitcoin, and no one will suffer from any of the traits above. Bitcoin will become as normal as bottled water. It will invoke no curiosity, questions or false assumptions. It will just be. It will be everywhere, in every pocket, on every computer, just like email, just like cameras and telephony.
Computer Illiteracy will not matter, because the workings will disappear.
Crypto Illiteracy will not matter, just as it doesn't to WhatsApp users.
Monetary Illiteracy will disappear with the death of Keynesianism.
Statism will disappear…because there will be no State!
Clinical Paranoia will remain. For the lulz.

Slowly but surely, Lummis & Co. are starting to get it, but they’re not anywhere near close enough to fulfilling their oaths.
First of all, there is no such thing as a “Crypto Asset” this is a portmanteau a made up phrase borne of backward analogies computer illiterates have constructed to give their arguments form.
As soon as anyone says the phrase "Crypto Assets", you know you’re dealing with an ignoramus, in the strict Latin sense of that word: “Know Nothing”.
Users who have control over private keys do not have “custody” of Bitcoin. The word “custody” is another analogy used to encapsulate the idea that these users don’t have to ask another person to sign a message on their behalf.
No one “custodies” Bitcoin at all; there are no “Bitcoins”.
You can blame the idea that Bitcoins are like actual coins from the retarded use of the gold coin images that have polluted the minds of politicians and many others. This money imagery is the cause of the widespread confusion over what Bitcoin actually is, which is not money, but a messaging and database system.
It is simply not true that “transactions are processed on the user’s local device”. Bitcoin signatures do not require a device at all, and can be made with a pencil an piece of graph paper.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=y3dqhixzGVo&ab_channel=KenShirriff
Lummis & Co. do not know this, because they are computer illiterates. Most people are, and that's OK. What is NOT OK is telling American citizens what they can do with their writing of math. That's unacceptable at any time and anti-American by default.
If they knew this fact about what Bitcoin actually is, that it is a form of writing (math), they would understand that the devices people use are mere conveniences and not prerequisites to signing messages before being sent to the Bitcoin network for addition to the chain of blocks, which does require a computer.
The fact that a computer is required to send messages is also protected speech under the Constitution, lest anyone believe that the use of a computer changes the nature of the basic act.
For Lummis & Co. because Bitcoin wallets look just like their Bank of America apps, they cannot conceive of what is actually going on under the hood of a Bitcoin “wallet” app, and how radically different these apps are from banking apps.
They see the conventions used by Bitcoin “wallets” including a chronological list of “transactions” and a “balance”, without any understanding of of what is happening in the background. They think the analogies are the reality. That is not so.
For all her many faults, Lummis is trying her best to get to grips with Bitcoin. She has not doubled down on some of her more outrageous and insulting ideas (https://medium.com/@beautyon_/unpacking-the-lummis-gillibrand-responsible-financial-innovation-act-6128e6db6a68), has abandoned them in a timely manner of her own accord (apparently), and so she should be applauded and helped correct her thinking, since this appears to be possible, so that she can transform herself into an ally of American citizens from being a leader in the ranks of the bitter enemies of, "We the People".

It is not true that Bitcoin’s rebellious, DIY, mid-seventies-like, Cypherpunk era is over.
The exact opposite is true.
Bitcoin was written after the mid-seventies Home Computer revolution took place and “ended”, putting the power of software development in everyone’s hands at a cost of essentially zero. Before that, to develop and run software, you had to book time on a large UNIX machine at a University, and that was only possible if you were enrolled as a student at an institution with a computer. Computer illiterates don’t know any of this important context and history.
Bitcoin was written on widely available, ubiquitous commodity computer equipment available from Walmart to Radio Shack. It was written in programming languages that were free and on operating systems that came for free with the machines they ran on. None of this was true previously; the cost of a commercial software license for AT&T UNIX was $30,000, out of reach for all but companies and educational institutions. Even the single user license of $150, whilst not an impediment for the die hard, was eliminated when Bitcoin was written by GNU. Universal availability of computing made the software development revolution possible. It meant that anyone anywhere could write software without permission, admission to University or supervision of any kind, and then they could distribute to anyone anywhere it without permission at a cost of near zero.
In the early days, software was distributed by mail order on floppy discs. Then it was distributed by BBS systems over telephone calls modem to modem. Now it is distributed over the Internet, for free. The commodification of computers and elimination of the cost of tooling to write software, remote connecting and expanded access to every form of intellectual pursuit in software from game development to book writing and research.
Can you see what’s coming next?
Universal access to programmable synthetic money in the form of Bitcoin will mean that anyone anywhere will be using Bitcoin. Nation States, hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds’ are irrelevant to this, and will continue to be downstream of the innovators from the public, just as they were and are with the Internet, email and Bitcoin. Nation states, hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds did not develop Bitcoin (or email or the web), and could not have developed it. They could not have imagined any of them, nor had they the skill to implement it. (See Paul Krugman’s predictions about the Internet being no more important than the Fax machine, or his most recent predictions about Bitcoin. What a joke!) The members of their impotent class will be, at best, peers on the network, like everyone else is. They are no longer special, privileged or required. At all.
That’s the whole point of Bitcoin, in case you didn’t know.
Jeremy Alaire famously said many years ago of the Bitcoin ecosystem, “It’s time for the grown ups now”. He was 100% wrong, and ended up peddling altcoins and unethical stablecoins because the immovable and immutable object “Bitcoin”, resists partially informed incomers with their clever plans to improve it. This feature of Bitcoin (and it is a feature, not a flaw) is what is currently being missed by FinTech bros, WallStreet Wonks, tenacious tangentials and other people who have just come to the ideas that spawned Bitcoin; reality no longer operates by proclamation of the self anointed.
It is a good thing that a small number of Americans are finally capitulating to Bitcoin, however in addition to capitulation, their parochial “Policeman of the World”, “my way or the highway”, “our institutions and governance models are the only possible way forward” mindset is best abandoned by them; no one on Earth wants to hear it, everyone is fed up with them, Bitcoin can’t hear it, and all real Bitcoiners ignore it.
The subconscious urge to control everything is strong in many characters; this is why rebellion is cast in a negative light by Statists. Change is not rebellion. Change is the essential process of all existence. Change is coming to what money is and how it is mediated, and in this change, the old players are removed from management, oversight, design or input of any kind. They are excluded. They are exsanguinated.
Yesterday’s men can’t conceive of any power outside of the familiar structures from their past; “the big boys” will always be the great powers. They don’t seem to realize (why should they?) that Bitcoin is sitting on top of something that has already completely eroded the power of many venerated “staple of modern life” institutions to great effect and universal benefit
Journalism: Junked
Music Distribution: Marginalized, Decimated
Publishing: Pulverized
Dictionaries: Destroyed
Telephone Companies: Trashed, Castrated
Censorship: Cauterized and Circumvented
Government Postal Services: Gutted, Piked, Slaughtered
Only the most naïve of people thinks the entry of Nation states, hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds as peers on the network abolishes Bitcoin’s rebellious, DIY, mid-seventies-like, cypherpunk era. On the contrary; the spread of Bitcoin makes Cypherpunk and the culture of rebellion the norm. It is Cypherpunks that are the innovators, and they’re continuing to prove it. Look at how one software company, Blockstream, run by a Cypherpunk, is providing financialization services to a nation state that were unimaginable before Bitcoin. All of this is obvious to anyone who can think.
The Cypherpunks and their direct descendants are building the new companies, software and services that cannot be revoked or “supervised” by outsiders, cowards, Statists, carpetbaggers, thieves, Socialists, and other human moths attracted to the bright flame of Bitcoin.
Look at Nostr for another example. While everyone downstream of Twitter as consumers complained bitterly about it, one man decided to offer a possible solution to it. No one saw it coming, or even thought it possible. Now, like it or not, an ecosystem has the very real potential (because it is real) of emerging on it, where the people using it cannot be told what to do or say.
This is exactly analogous with what happened with Bitcoin. Wall Street Wonks complaining bitterly about “the corrupt system” could not imagine Bitcoin, and then Bitcoin…existed, and now it cannot be stopped, like it or not, and its nature will not be changed because Bitcoin’s rebellious, DIY, mid-seventies-like, Cypherpunk era is not only not over but will never end. This is a safe prediction to make; look at how features of the web are developed, through the IETF process. The people at the coal face are doing the hard work of fundamental design, and corporations have nothing to do with it beyond paying the salaries of the designers; the “big players” don’t have a say in how things actually work.
Apple learned this the hard way by trying to introduce a new protocol called “AppleTalk.” Launched in the mid-1980s, AppleTalk was designed to facilitate networking in Apple environments, allowing Macintosh computers to connect and share resources seamlessly. Despite its initial success within Apple’s ecosystem, AppleTalk struggled to gain broader acceptance due to the dominance of other networking protocols like Ethernet and TCP/IP. Over time, as the industry standard shifted towards TCP/IP, Apple gradually phased out AppleTalk, officially discontinuing support for it in 2009. “2009”...a special year, wasn't it? This is exactly like Wall Street trying to “take over” Bitcoin and change it. It cannot happen, and there will be no “The Grownups are Here Now” moment in Bitcoin. History indicates this strongly, but you have to know your history in order to understand this.
These are just a few of many examples showing the nature of the change and who is being excluded as a consequence. Everyone who has the power to create software and services is fed up to the back teeth with being told what they are, what they can do, what they can say, how they must implement software tools, and being on the bottom rung of the perverted “Society” where Nation states, hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds have control over what money is and how it is allowed to move.
That’s over chaps.
The masses using Bitcoin at every level are together far more powerful than any Nation state, hedge fund or sovereign wealth fund. The masses using Bitcoin as money is an absolutely inevitable outcome, and it will happen on the terms of the Cypherpunks, not Nation states, hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds.

It would be a good idea to for “Bitcoiners” to buy a map, and study what “Jurisdiction” means.
Whenever you hear an American say, “things are bad in Bitcoin”, several things are inevitably true.
They think America and its “SEC” are the only powers on Earth.
They refuse to name the enemy that causes their fear; “The State”.
People like this can never solve problems because they’re psychologically incapable of imagining a world where their beloved State is smaller.
These people were never truly aligned with Bitcoin’s aims; they think the purpose of Bitcoin is “decentralisation”.
It is not.
The purpose of Bitcoin is replacing fiat, not to act as a perfect expression of a database software problem.
And Bitcoin has no aims; it is not a person.
People have aims, and if your aim is X it’s up to you to make it so. If you refuse to face reality, other people who do, will, and you’ll be drowned out.
And even if Bitcoin was perfect to their standards, it would still be corrosive to the power of the State, and distribution and dissemination of it into the economy would remain a problem (app stores)…or do these delusional people believe the State will throw its hands up and walk away, “because distributed”? You’ll still be an enemy of the State, and a target, even with a perfect Bitcoin, silly little boy.
The level of delusion, infantilism, brainwashing and just plain silliness on constant display is shocking and perplexing. If it were not for the bright future coming it would be depressing.
You the observers can choose to listen to the negative Bitcoin Cult members, and wallow in the pool of misery they sit and stew in that they want to drag you all down into.
Or you can go boldly into the future with real Bitcoiners and step into the bright future with them.
Easy choice Droogies!

Elon can post the vidya below, and yet, he thinks Bitcoin is a bad thing “because of the environment” and Doge is a serious alternative.
AI electricity consumption is set to become greater than that of Bitcoin, (and aluminium production already is) but these are unquestioned…why?
Not only does Bitcoin come under unwarranted scrutiny and hysterical innumerate criticism, but the truth about its consumption is thrown out (Bitcoin doesn’t waste electricity https://medium.com/@beautyon_/bitcoin-doesnt-waste-electricity-649694ea3605 and neither does AI or any other use) irrationally…why?
I’ll tell you why. The fundamental problem expressed in this clip is that people are weak, incapable of grasping scale, afraid of themselves and desperate to push responsibility for all events in their lives onto (((them))).
This is the reason why the irrational and illogical “Freedom of Speech Not Reach” is the policy on X. This is why Bitcoin is shunned by Elon, rather than being fully incorporated into X.
This is why it was proposed that blocking and “likes” be removed. Irrational people don’t like facts, shun reality, don’t like being challenged by hard to accept truths, and will do anything to silence people telling the truth. This is not a new characteristic of man, obviously.
The worst part is that they drape the cloak of “Science” around their shoulders to appear logical, fair, modern and reasonable. They are none of those things. They are unreasonable, unreasoning, illogical, unscientific, emotional and utterly wrong.
They don’t follow Science; they’re cultists in Scientism.
They don’t believe in free speech, or the truth.
They’re not for mankind; they’re the enemies of man.
This is exactly why Bitcoin is so desperately needed. The world would be much better off with a monetary system permanently free of the control of this class, where irrationality is excluded and immutable discipline is imposed.

TERRIBLE flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and our friends from Rolante (the biggest Bitcoin adopting community in the world rn) need your help.👇
If you can give any aid in any way, including Bitcoin, I'm sure they would find it a great blessing.
With Bitcoin, it is now possible to send very small amounts, arbitrary amounts, to help in emergency situations, and Bitcoin was MADE FOR THIS.
If you are in Brazil you can send PIX, obviously, but being Bitcoiners you have a special power at your fingertips to help people in need.
If everyone in Bitcoin who is on Lightning sent a few dollars, this would be not only a very great act of charity, but would also send a signal about how useful Bitcoin is.

COPA coming to Samourai’s defence is what I expect to see announced next. This is a historic case that will determine the future of Bitcoin.
The high stakes Samourai case is no different to Bernstein v. United States, and requires a final, definitive answer to the fundamental (already answered) question, “What is the true nature of all cryptographic operations taking place in computers?”.
And Bitcoin is simply math being performed in computers, and it is literally nothing more than that. The same arguments for Bernstein, and Phil Zimmerman’s case (http://www.skypoint.com/members/gimonca/philzima.html) apply to Samourai, and the same defences should work if The Constitution hasn’t changed. And it hasn’t.
If COPA do not rise to this challenge and defend the underdog, then the floodgates will be opened for the missapplication of money laws to all Bitcoin operations no matter what they are.
At the fundamental level, Bitcoin is speech. This is not “Semantics”; this is a plain statement of fact, established in law.
Everything you do in Bitcoin is protected speech. If you believe that this event applies only to “mixing”, you are mistaken.
The simple act of “moving” Bitcoin from one address you are known to control and are registered with, to another address that is an “unregistered Bitcoin address” could be construed as a criminal act in the future if COPA don’t kill this.
And I hope they kill it. With fire.

Human nature is fixed.
Give them internets, they use it for porn
Give them Bitcoin, they create altcoins
Give them Nostr they do “gm frenz”
Man always brings his garbage with him wherever he goes; wherever man is, you will find his filth. The dream of Nostr, that it will be some sort of Sesame Street el dorado of free speech is a childish fantasy. It’s wanting man without his nature, which is simply not possible.
The only people realistic about this are the transhumanists, who are just like Nostr people, only more serious, result driven, scientific and realistic. They want to change man through breeding and gene altering so that man is no longer man, but “Man 2.0”. Schwab and his evil acolytes (some of them Bitcoin infiltraitors) are explicitly for this.
Naïve people are very boring and dangerous. While they pick their navel lint with their little toes, literal monsters are trying to reingineer both man and the Earth (Gates and his clot shots, Polio causing vaccines in India, GMO mosquito releases, synthetic meat etc, WEF eat ze bugs and so on).
But everything is OK because…YOU’RE ON NOSTR!
The real problems must be described and faced squarely if you want to solve them, If you don’t want to face them and solve them, well, fine enjoy it.

The inability to grasp scale is one of the more interesting characteristics of Bitcoin Cult members. This also stops them from understanding the size of the fiat problem.
I block 17,199 accounts on X. There is no way that that is the entirety of “Bitcoin Twitter” but this is genuinely what some of them believe. This is because they’re in an echo chamber where all the signals are distorted.
Since all of these accounts are essentially saying exactly the same thing, I only need to follow one of them to get the (dubious) benefit of all of them.
These people also don’t seem to have any people with repeating what other people say over and over, contributing nothing but noise. Do they have a place and rôle to fill? Obviously. Do they need me? Obviously not. Are there accounts that are better than mine? Definitely. Therefore, complaining about being blocked by me is irrational.
I’m not interested in reading the same drivel over and over; it’s a waste of time, and depressing. I curate my experience so that only people with something interesting to say can put it in front of me.
Is it perfect, no. Doest it have to be? No. What it needs to do is feed me, pique my interest and give me at least some hope that there’s a chance the global switch to Bitcoin is going to happen. Low IQ types typing “LETS GOOOOOOOO”…well…work it out for yourself!

I’m afraid that between the two of us, I am the one facing reality; the reality of serving others. You have no steak in the outcome, don’t do anything to help anyone and spend your time fantasising about OPEN SOURCE.

Calling a chicken “a chicken” is not name calling, it’s species identification. And as for projection, what you perceive in your minds eye, the screen on which reality is projected, is not a movie; other people are real. They are not figments of your imagination or characters in the movie playing in your head.
If you ever come to understand this, you will wake up and accept the proposition WoS makes, and why it is so useful and perhaps soon to be one of the worlds biggest wallets.
Just this morning I had to do tech support for someone using a wallet with poor channel management. WoS is well managed and consumer focussed; always has capacity, meaning no one is frustrated, and can be brought onboard first time, no problems. If the people who want “Non Custodial" to become the Standard, they’re going to have to learn what it means to serve other people and not the imaginary fantasy world In their heads.
You people are refusing to face reality. You refuse to build and run services, refuse to listen to consumers, refuse to help others, bury your heads in the sand and pretend the Bitcoin is some sort of game. It’s pitiful.
And you’re not going to like the future of Bitcoin, which you will have no part in creating By your own choice…or was it your choice at all?

I only post here experimentally. Because it removes control from the user, the use case of Twitter clone is unsatisfactory. There is no motivation for neurotypical people to post here; and the neuro atypical crow about not being block-able. They’re pathetic.
You can have freedom of speech on Gab, so why is this needed at all?
It’s also interesting that the first crop of tools are all Twitter clones. This shows how much groupthink there is and how little true innovation is going on. Obviously other developers are no doubt coming if they deem it worth spending their time on it, but the user base as it is simply isn’t worth it.
That means building a new constituency on top of building a new model. Remember also as an aside, people from the EU are culturally incapable of understanding that ID is unethical; that means they can never come up with a radical model on top of Nostr.
The expertise being gathered by the first crop means that one of them might pivot to something useful. Being banned by Apple will help midwife this.

Unfortunately, you’re thinking from inside the Bitcoin Cult Bubble, and are not interested in solving anyone’s problems other than your own.
Features are a spectrum; normal people are not interested in Cult Lingo, “Rugged”, “$5 Wrench” blah blah blah. If you spent time (which Bitcoin Cult members refuse to do) interacting with normal people, and we’re in the business of supplying Lighting to them, you would know why WoS is extraordinary.
But we don’t live in that world. The Bitcoin Cult Echo Chamber is hell bent on making Bitcoin unusable for Consumers, and they don’t have the wherewithal to midwife Hyperbitcoinization alone.
Several products and services are coming however that are dedicated to the new category, “Consumer Bitcoin”, and the landscape will be changed forever after they’ve launched. This is an absolute prerequisite to Hyperbitcoinization, and WoS is a good example of the sort of UX you can and should expect.
Will people still be able to use the tools they love, like Electrum? Of course; but there will be billions that will never use it, and they will all use Bitcoin on other people’s terms, whether you like it or not.
And yes, that’s a good thing!

Bitcoin is not a game or an experiment or an American only preserve. Fallacious arguments, bad analogies, illogic, “I’ve been working on this for six years, therefore it must be merged BECAUSE I’M SPECIAL AND YOU’RE STUPID” simply won’t cut it.
Anyone who refuses to prove their code works before adding it to Bitcoin is reckless, selfish and Mind Blind. “If it breaks Bitcoin, we can undo it”, “You don’t have to use it; we can have multiple different clients”….it’s all mentally ill nonsense, spawned by a mind that doesn’t understand that OTHER PEOPLE ARE REAL, and THEY DON’T WANT THEIR MONEY PUT AT RISK FOR YOUR “EXPERIMENT”.
The lack of consideration for others and the money they’re storing on Bitcoin is breathtaking...shocking, actually. And the pattern is clear; privileged parochial Americans think they can use Bitcoin as a personal plaything and its users lab rats in their “Experiment”.

Elon Musk has sold his Bitcoin and will no doubt be using an altcoin, maybe even the explicitly diabolical WorldCoin in Twitter(X).
This scene from the film "Demon Seed" sums it up perfectly...
"Gentlemen, I must ask you to be completely quiet now. Whatever the machine sees or hears in this room, it can never forget. Proteus, this is Dr. Harris. Can you see me?
Yes, I can see you, Dr. Harris.
(Dr. Harris opens book on Chinese Emperor Qin Shihuangdi)
Ah, your favorite emperor. What do you think of this...enigmatic man?
Nothing.
Nothing? Have you no answer?
"Nothing" is the answer. The emperor's business enterprises, his wall building and book burning, are opposite terms in an equation. The net result is exactly zero."
This scene calculating the ultimate value of the rule of Qin Shihuangdi is both the absolute essence and guaranteed ultimate outcome of Elon Musk's enterprises.
His reckless infantilism, refusal to accept the truth, over eagerness to please, ill tempered reactions to being corrected, inability to empathise with others, lack of discernment, inability to grasp scale, refusal to seek the good over his own interests all condemn him to this calculation.
Everything good that he does is counterbalanced by something evil that he does, in this case, rejecting Bitcoin, the solution to the biggest systemic problem facing mankind; the problem of fiat money, to the potential harm of billions of people.
It is entirely wrong to expect one man to change his character and "rescue" the world; the need for heroes is a character flaw many suffer from. That being said, the need for heroes doesn't prevent math from working, and the equation here that sums to zero applies to the affairs of Elon Musk.
And for the record, Bitcoin, Bitcoiners, the billions of people on earth who need sound money and all things like that will continue and thrive without Elon Musk, and WorldCoin, CBDCs, fiat money and every other anti-Bitcoin machination will fail.

Layer 2 is for spending.
Layer 1 is for storing.
Layer 2 doesn’t have to be non custodial; this is an anti-consumer Bitcoin Cult Narrative that doesn’t take practicality or Bitcoins future into account.
The Cult doesn’t care about utility for ordinary users; all they care about is the narrative on paper in specifications.
Wallet of Satoshi is growing fast and is super reliable, serving the consumer brilliantly. Users needing long term storage can leverage other tools that are non custodial.
Solving people’s problems is key; they need both to spend AND to store. Specifications on paper are not the way to judge the benefits of designs for consumers; fulfilling the needs of real people is the actual test.
And Wallet of Satoshi is passing that test. BIGLY.

The WorldCoin scam is onboarding one person every 8 seconds. At that rate it will take 1880 years to get everyone on earth into the slave grid.
Why then do “Bitcoiners” think they can beat snd outflank WC by providing
✅ Concierge services
✅ Onboarding
✅ Education
To Bitcoin companies? If onboarding people to BTC requires a Concierge or Education or a manager for onboarding, how long do you think it will take critical mass to be reached?
Bitcoiners have a fundamental problem; understanding the scale of the Fiat Currency problem.
It would be nice to read a single idea describing how the install rate for Bitcoiners can exceed the WC rate before they flood the market with Phantasm spheres, which are no doubt being by mass manufactured as you read this.

Bitcoin is not a movement of any kind. It is not a cult or a club. It will only succeed because people stop hiding under baseball hats and being cowards and thinking Bitcoin is a movement.
The option for Bitcoin to win will not be set by cowards hiding their faces in basements and thinking “podcasts” are Bitcoin. If Bitcoiners were behind the first consumer computers, people would still be using Slide Rules.
Thankfully a small handful of realistic, non cult, intelligent, risk embracing people are working with Bitcoin to make its promise come true. It’s not a game for them. It’s not all hot air and posturing.
Grow up, or fail! Stop dancing the safety dance!

“a gift that is *connected to or associated at any point in time* with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase”
This means when users start saying “zap me with your email to receive my art”. Then this would give apple an excuse remove Damus at any time, even with only profile zaps. This is true of every p2p payment app as well from what I can tell.
Not to mention: “100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift”. So what about miner fees? Apple could argue miner tx fees on bitcoin txs violate their guidelines. This also means damus splits + support star are very much not allowed and they won’t be pushed to the app store 🥲
Overall everything is very vague which gives apple the ability to remove your app for any reason. Fun
This is not true.
What it actually means s that in the TOS, you need to specify exactly what the context of a Zap is; that it is a mere gift, and is in no way to be construed as payment for anything whatsoever. That should be enough to be compliant with this Apple Rule.
Users are at liberty to use Damus for whatever they want, even for purposes outside of the Damus TOS. Apple is concerned only with what the incorporation that owns Damus (is there even one?) is doing in its relationship with its users, not the private arrangements users make between themselvs.
Furthermore, the fact that mining taks place for a fee cannot (and probably won’t) be construed as anything to do with the act of sending a Zap. This is like saying Apple will claim that because you pay for ISP/Cellphone service fees, or monthly payment on your phone, or electricity, with a credit card that charges you a fee, that using Bitcoin is, “A violation of their guidelines”. Clearly this is totally absurd, and would mean that the other payment methods which certainly attract fees to get things done, would fall afoul of Apple’s rules meaning that their language makes no sense.
The guideline is this; don’t put on the layer’s hat unless you’re a lawyer or have experience in interpreting a TOS and its terms. If you don’t have a lawyer, get one. No, ChatGPT cannot act as your lawyer. If you’re serious about launching and running a world changing app, and you’ve been funded, you really should have a competent, high power law firm with many international offices and with expertise in this area at your disposal. And NO the EFF is not good enough.

On software licenses…
“I think this whole subject is very interesting and the effects of software licenses on business is something that doesn’t get talked about very much.
The people who wrote these open source software licenses are hard-core anti capitalists and socialists, who believe in the state. That’s why these licenses are property effacing.
The original reasons why the open source software movement was started was in response to UNIX and Microsoft and Apple and their closed source operating system . Those licenses served a very good purpose and worked very well to create competition in both operating systems and office suite software.
Because they were very successful, people have tended to go along with them, reflexively without understanding the side-effects. Once they understand the side-effects, however, they realised that open source licences are very harmful to them personally.
That’s why they use phrases like “rip-off” and get very angry about their software being copied under a license that they chose consciously and wasn’t forced on them.
Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. In the case of choosing the wrong software license, the best thing to do would be to announce you’re changing the license and very quietly go under a different license.
The vast majority of people know nothing about gnu, 0S, wars or anything like that. Exposing them to this bickering is counter-productive in the small scale, closed world of the Bitcoin Cult.”

There is, perhaps, nothing more delicious than watching people promote Bitcoin whilst clinging on to the fantasy that the State is an absolute requirement for things to work. Their "History just started yesterday" mentality rejects the evidence that the educated and reasoning have incorporated into their thinking. They know that Florence didn't have a US style surveillance state watching every transaction, "To keep people safe".
They know that the City State of Venice didn't have USSR style Commissars watching every transaction; people were free to trade, travel and live, and that's why those places flourished, not due to the State existing, but because the State was very small, minded its business, didn't over tax and got out of everyone's way.
This is why El Salvador is going to win; eschewing taxing Bitcoin business is super forward thinking, and will attract all sane businesses to its shores so they can be left to develop their services in peace. Only delusional Socialists believe regulation creates business; that's why New York is a BTC desert. If it were true that regulations created business, every Bitcoiner would be rushing to incorporate and operate in New York.
The exact opposite is true; people avoid New York because the "BitLicense" is in force there. Making a "BitLicense Lite" as some Europeans are trying to do will simply make people operate in another jurisdiction where the poison hasn't been uncorked. If it were true that FinCEN registration and SEC regulation made businesses safe for consumers, then FTX would never have gone down, because they had all the licenses there were to apply for secured.
How many examples do people need to see before they GET IT? Foundations don't created businesses. Regulations don't protect anyone. Regulations can't stop people losing money. It beggars belief that even in the face of the recent Californian banks, people still believe in the State like lemmings.
If it were true that regulations and regulatory bodies offered protection, SVB could not have gone down, or any other bank. FDIC insurance would not be necessary; "Why do we even need FDIC? We have a Federal body regulating it, NOTHING CAN GO WRO.....KABOOM!". How DUMB can y' be?
And of course, what the crazy Socialist says is, "The regulations were not strong enough or were not broad enough. We are going to bring in new regulators and instantiate a new Regulator to make sure this can never happen again". And then it happens again. And people don't learn.
They're the most foolish, naïeve people on earth, much more so because they're educated and STILL believe in the State like children. This, my friends, is why Bitcoin needed to be written, and the Statists STILL don't understand this or see what is coming. Bitcoin will not allow the formation of any regulatory body because all money in the economy is put to economic uses not Socialism. It doesn't care about what you believe is required for an economy to grow or why it doesn't. It is a permanent constraint on the ignorant and naïeve who will not conform to reality. That Socialists actively support a thing that will make their vision for the world impossible is, perhaps, the greatest release of Schadenfreude ever in history. A group of imaginatinless men got tricked into promoting tools that 100% negate their philosophy.
You couldn't make it up if you tried. And Bitcoin can't hear anyone whining about anything. It can't care that you refuse to accept reality; it imposes reality. It can't accept that you refuse the nature of man. It harnesses the nature of man to protect US from YOU.
We will win, not you. It is our philosophy that is going to eat the world. It is us that are being proved right, not you. It is your world that is crumbling whilst ours is emerging. It is us that is helping to free mankind, not you. It is us that are the real Bitcoiners NOT YOU!
Bitcoin wallets don't need "Regulation".

The market is proven effective to build great civilizations, and the countries that had stringent regulations, like the USSR and New York, ended up crumbling and collapsing.
https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/1584563240088244224
Because Bitcoin exists, it is not required to convince anyone anymore. Our way of thinking will become the default by attrition or capitulation. And it's not your choice either.

Everyone must know their rôle. If you can't run a company or develop tools, you have no place; and that's OK.

The world is a messy place with messy people and messy half baked ideas. Bitcoin is not half baked; it is a cake with sound rules built into it. This is why people have such a hard time understanding it. For most of their lives they've lived in a USSR...
https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/1590655872556228610
style Communist / Socialist State, where the government sets the rules for everything, to where children can be born and educated, what the form of food you can eat is, and of course, the form of money you are required to accept by law. Ten years is not enough to cleanse out the stench of Statism from the minds of even the most intelligent and well meaning. It will take many years for that to happen, but the painful medicine must be swallowed first, and that medicine is "Bitcoin".
Look at the new (maybe) phenomenon Nostr. The people who developed it, wrote it and then released it. They didn't ask permission, they didn't wait for the State to sanction it. They just DID IT, just like the author of Bitcoin DID IT. They are not Statists or losers.
And the people who now name drop Nostr in the same breath as they do Bitcoin while claiming that Bitcoin needs regulation don't seem to understand that Nostr is REGULATION RESISTANT not CENSORSHIP RESISTANT. That means that anyone can say ANYTHING they want without consequences.
Why are the people so hell bent on regulation not saying that Nostr is a very bad thing? because they want to appear to be the good guys, and everyone loves Nostr, so it is not possible to say anything against Nostor and also be a good Bitcoiner. But that's another story.
Nostr exposes a problem with the current state of the Bitcoin economy. Because businesses are needed to onboard new users and develop and manage consumer grade wallets, those businesses are a SPOF that Statists can attack and "regulate" to "Keep People Safe". People who want regulation of Bitcoin businesses are no better than Chuck Shumer, who wants to regulate "AI". The danger zone layer that is the businesses that distribute Bitcoin services are the place where people who can't write software and who are too frightened to invest in companies can have a disproportionate and toxic effect on the economy. Because they don't have a real stake in Bitcoin by running a business that spreads it, they can advocate for regulation in the belief that no matter what happens they will be rich. It's why Sailor advocated for regulation.
There are many characters doing this. Lummis for one

I've been saying this over and over and over...
https://twitter.com/search?q=bitcoin%20regulation%20(from%3Abeautyon_)&src=typed_query
Consistency is Bitcoin's greatest attribute. If people were as consistent as computer programmes, there would be a lot less trouble in the world...or maybe more...who knows? All _I_ know is that history is REAL and it REPEATS itself, and regulation CANNOT CHANGE MAN'S NATURE.

If you're so sure of what you're doing, what I think should not be of any concern to you whatsoever. You should not be seeking validation from strangers, or asking them their opinions; if you know what you're doing is right, then persue it relentlessly.
I suggest however that you try to think for yourself, and not be a follower. Don't use the language of other people, don't be like other people, talk like them, dress like them or do anything like them. Remove yoursellf from the Cult.
Most of the Cult members are total idiots who are copying someone else. If you get all your thinking from copying others, you are likely to end up in the ditch. And collectivism is POISON.
Stop pandering, trying to curry favour, looking for validation and being weak.

I think speaking in cult platitiudes wihtout any thought is dangerous and boring. I thinkg faddish behaviour is stupid and counter productive. I think breathless, "It's going to chang the world" lines parroted by unthinking people who belieeve being the lowest rung of ancient society is "cool" is pathetic and sad.
I think people copying each other is a sign of an unthinking cretin who will sit back and watch the world burn rather than get out of bed or spend a fraction of their own time and money to help others.
I think being positive is one thing, and being a simpering cult member is a quite different thing. I think. At least I try to think. I'm not a brainless follower, cheerleader or moronic fan boy trying to score "likes" from under his duvet while Rome burns.
I'm tired of all the dumb people wasting my time and pretending that they have something to say. They have nothing to say, nothing to contribute, nothing original going on between their ears and they're a sad example of everything that has gone wrong in the West.

You can now replace Siri with Chat GPT righ now using a simple tool. It’s a leap beyond Siri that’s breathtaking. Things are moving so fast there is no way the Stayte can keep up and it will soon be outflanked. Bitcoin is an important part of this.
Once these trained assistants enter common use (note how I don’t call them “AI” like the lemmings) decision making by people who are Low IQ will be vastly improved. It will also train the Low IQ people to think better, as Chat GPT needs careful imput that directly rewards thoughful direction.

Rather than virtue signal about “the global south” anyone who actually cares about these things would do anything they can to get Bitcoin into the hands of these very same people.
Instead what is received is a never ending stream of virtue signalling, fearmongering and drivel, that helps absolutely no one. The true measure of who really means what they’re saying is a show of money.
What helps is investing in companies like Azteco and 8333, not playing dumb OPSEC games and acting like Bitcoin is going to bootstrap itself into a global phenomenon helping exactly the people who are being inducted into WorldCoin.
Sama at least is logical; he has access to money and is doing something directly to solve problems in the way he wants them solved, rather than passing on startups that OBVIOUSLY have huge transformative potential.
People are measured by what they do; what they produce and who they invest in. Nothing will ever change if people are COWARDS, trembling under their blankets for OPSEC, afraid on “Regulatory” and following their worthless “gut” that has been fed a diet of junk food and Mountain Dew.
Thankfully there is a small number of people who understand this, who have money, understand that money isn’t a tool to Virtue Signal with, and who are ACTUALLY interested in SOLVING COMPLEX PROBLEMS and not just endlessly blathering about them.
The enemies of Bitcoin are not playing games; they’re out to destroy, and if SMEONE doesn’t rise to the challenges, take risks and not scurry away like PATHETIC COWARDS, the destruction they will unleash will make your head spin.
