There are lots of long time bitcoiners who were never here for the revolution or they just don't understand it.
I meet them sometimes out in the world. The future belongs to the plebs who stack no matter what.
If someone bought sub $10 the temptation to sell at 100K and live comfortably for the rest of their life is strong. However we will run out of sell pressure eventually. Just a matter of time.

I have seen a number of people I actually respect now openly supporting core. I slept on this and realized I might have jumped to one side of the OP Return debate faster than necessary.
The debate has been framed by the knots team as Bitcoin being transformed into a platform by adding more non-financial uses to the blockchain. After 15 years of watching non-financial shitcoins trend towards zero with no practical uses cases emerging from the carnage I have absolutely no desire to add that functionality to Bitcoin.
However, it is possible that I am missing something so I'm going to ask a few questions for clarification if anyone wants to offer a response.
FYI I have no interest in debating with salty keyboard warriors. Please take a deep breath before posting. I just want to read the positions.
1. Is there a technical reason why the code needs to be altered now?
2. Who stands to benefit the most from OP Return space increasing?
3. Outside of BRC tokens and Inscriptions, what proposals are in place use of the added OP return space?
#asknostr
At the end of the day I'm not going to get upset about this, but my understanding will determine how and when I upgrade my node software. These discussions are valuable for bitcoin and will make it stronger in the long run. Much love 💜🧡

Ayn Rand and The Satanic Bible: The Connection
Influence of Ayn Rand on The Satanic Bible
Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan and author of The Satanic Bible, openly acknowledged that Ayn Rand’s philosophy (Objectivism) was a major influence on his work. LaVey himself described his book as "just Ayn Rand's philosophy, with ceremony and ritual added".
The Church of Satan confirms that Objectivism is "an acknowledged source for some of the Satanic philosophy" outlined in The Satanic Bible.
Several commentators and scholars have noted striking similarities between Rand’s ideas-particularly those found in John Galt’s speech in Atlas Shrugged-and the Nine Satanic Statements in The Satanic Bible. The order and content of these statements often parallel Rand’s work.
Key Similarities
Both philosophies emphasize individualism, rational self-interest, and rejection of traditional religious morality.
Both are critical of altruism and promote a form of ethical egoism.
Key Differences
Objectivism is an atheistic philosophy grounded in reason and a specific metaphysical worldview, while LaVeyan Satanism is more pragmatic and ritualistic, and does not claim to know the absolute nature of reality.
LaVeyan Satanism incorporates symbolic and theatrical elements absent from Rand’s strictly rationalist system.

GM Everybody. I have a story I want to share.
Sometimes I wonder what I'm really doing by dedicating so much time to nostr. The answer can vary widely from day to day and some of the reasons are future oriented, but the most important are not.
In November of 2023 I posted a video of a bag swirling on a subway car with GM as the caption. I had a few GMs back and one of them stood out because of the profile picture.
I had a feeling this person might enjoy my lecture series. So I sent them a message and a link. This person listened to the entire 16 hours or so of the lecture series and then reached out to me to talk.
We started a conversation on November 21st of 2023 that is still going today. We live in very different parts of the world and lead very different lives, but we have more in common than perhaps either of us have ever had with anyone.
Talking with this dear friend who I met on nostr has been one of the most beneficial and joyful relationships of my entire life up to now. We have both learned a tremendous amount from eachother and we've shared more laughs than I could ever count. Just to give you a flavor, here's a brief screenshot of dozens, if not hundreds, of hours of audio notes we've sent back and forth. (I know, telegram is telegram. Please don't autistic screech.)
https://image.nostr.build/02d5431faa8a0de675de8dcb6bd9e6ff0489ca74cc344c609ee753a9e65825f6.jpg
I could go on and on about what a great guy he is and I thought about tagging him, but the next piece would cause an anonymity issue so I decided not to.
Anyway, it's his 50th birthday today and I just wanted to say how much I love him and how much I love nostr so you guys could all get a feel for the impact.
Sure, maybe nostr is the future and it's going to take over the internet (I think it will), but frankly if it dropped dead today it would have been worth it for me just from this one connection. And fortunately for all of us it hasn't just been one connection. This protocol has literally changed my life already and there are only a few thousand people using it.
Thanks for reading 💜

I regretfully listened to a discussion with a bcasher recently who wrote a book for Roger Ver. It was cringe, but it was interesting.
The guy made several mildly interesting comments, a ton of stupid ones, and also seemed to be of the opinion that 'nobody in bitcoin cares about means of exchange anymore. '
This could have been a self serving straw man argument, or it could be true because all the real bitcoiners came to nostr and he's never been here. (My own self serving bias)
I'm not sure because I haven't been on Xitter in a few years.
What's the perception over there? Is everyone deep throating MSTR and ignoring layer two?
