My point is since the beginning of this thread: we will always trust / consent to a minority with our lives savings.
The bitcoin elites have just less incentives /possibilities to do something bad compared to fiat central banking elites. But they have the option to act in bad faith.
Hence we want them to be good, because they can short our lives savings to buy another Lamborghini or whatever their heart desires.
But bad people can infiltrate these elite circles and do bad things.

I can add a fourth item to that list:
4) assumed a critical vulnerability is discovered in bitcoin or lightning and it is mailed to the core devs. You want the core devs to be "good" or else they might use the bug to enrich themself before fixing and publishing the vulnerability.

Found a great substack lately!
> The vaccines contain luciferase that will turn your blood satanic. They contain luminescent quantum dots to track you. They contain “smart” hydrogel serpents that multiply and extend through your body like living spaghetti, doing all manner of mischief. They contain parasitic organisms—tiny hydras—that crawl around your innards. The jabs are actually black magic snake venom.

Been also thru that phase but I recommend to stick to one faith. Everything else will confuse you. These are two different religions.

Just invoke the name. If you think something is against our democracy and enough people agree then it's probably against our democracy.

You mean the ssh backdoor thru xz-utils?
Yes, you where alerted. But just because there are enough vigilant people who keep a close eye on their IT. People who do this are part of a minority.
My train of thought goes like the following:
1) If less people trust the central banking and instead shift their funds to Bitcoin, they trust just another elite (not bankers, but coders).
2) the Bitcoin infrastructure runs on servers. controlled by people, maintained by people and the tools provided by people. This is the new elite and it is a minority.
3) you cannot take this for granted. Neither that the IT guys will remain always vigilant, nor do we know about the backdoors we weren't alerted to.
Bitcoinization puts a high burden on the new elite (the coders, you and I). Because everyone uses software, but only a small amount is paranoid enough to not blindly trust the electronic devices. these devices are now not only used to shitpost on the internet anymore, but also used to manage life's savings.
I am not sure if we know that we're getting ennobled. For example: concerning technology, my non techie friends won't go into this depth, but rather trust my judgement of what technology to use. I also can just understand the devices I use to a certain degree. After that comes trust in the judgement of other people. I can only hope that I trust in the right people and not get betrayed, because downstream from my decisions are my friends who trust my judgement.

I know Bitcoin pretty well. I am not trolling. The though I currently play with is that there is always a minority of people we trust our funds with: either the government and the central banks (which are - in the end - organizations of humans) or algorithms, which run on computers. We can just decide whom we trust more, if we buy Bitcoin with fiat we reveal that we trust the Bitcoin elite more than the central bank elite.
However ... the bitcoin code is written and maintained by _humans_, and the nodes are also operated by humans. All the electronics are just helpful, we can also do the Bitcoin algorithm on paper, but it won't be feasible.
You say "if they sent a bad update I would not use it" great, but what about the not-that-tech-savy guy, who just runs his raspiblitz, umbrel node, or has bought a node from blockstream or whatever? Probably with auto updates enabled. Practically the node is then not operated by the not-that-tech-savy guy - it just runs in his closet or something - but is operated by the maintainers of raspiblitz, umbrel, or whomever.

2024-04-05 04:27:47

By buying Bitcoin you make a revealed preference that Bitcoin is more worth for you right now than dollar or euro. However, both systems are governed by a minority. The Bitcoin core-, raspiblitz-, umbrel-, etc. devs and node operators are just another elite. Similar to the Fed or ECB. Thus you also make a revealed preference that you trust these people more than the people from the fed or ECB.

Yes, but you will always have a ruling minority. And you cannot chose your rulers. Good times are made by good rulers. Bad times come in the absence of good rulers.
Either lead by good example or accept your fate.
You're already doing the former with your tutorials.

"I believe the mass is in greek"
That's not an obstacle. They do the same most of the time (Liturgy of Saint Chrysostom) and have translations in the local language.

In terms of priests or influencers you should stick to one denomination. It is not a good idea to listen to different priests or preachers from across the christian religions. This might be confusing, since you might get a lot of different interpretations of the scriptures.
Also you should stick to the one "near to you" i.e. if you're in USA, "Saint Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church, Stafford Va" might be one for you.
Father Spyridon is a good fit for people from the British Island I think.
Vater Abt Paisios is a good one for germans.

Is it possible to integrate nostr with ruby? (Or is ruby uncool now?)

Ich frage mich ja immer, was Proteste eigentlich bringen.
Die Regierung lenkt ein -> Stagnation wird verlängert, bis zur nächsten Demo.
Die Regierung lenkt nicht ein -> Aufständische Bauern geben entweder ihren Betrieb auf, oder akzeptieren zähneknirschend die neuen Regeln.
Die Regierung müsste eigentlich auf die Bauern zukommen.
