the difference between conspiracy theory and truth .....

they have been patient but saudi joining brics and dumping the petro dollar has caused a whole new dynamic they didn't bank on when they created the arab states.
knowing the motivation .... provides solutions.

this is all a land grab.
palestine (which has a nice new oil and gas field just off their coast) and now lebanon (deep water port).
the parasites want to get a super canal from the arabian gulf to the the mediterranean. the new silk canal.
look at a map and it will explain every war in the region and why they want war with iran.
the saudis joining brics, don't want war with iran or palestine. hence israel is being provoked to go over their heads.
broker peace and free markets instead.
stop feeding the military with your sons and daughters. they deserve a better world. not being used as canon fodder for parasites.

are numbers really the need or quality?
"quality never goes out of style" levi strauss
"build it they will come"
we are building a new alternative, it will take time to understand the needs and desires of the future. free market analysis.
trying to hang on to an old world whilst you build a new one is rather like staying in the swamp until it is drained. sure it will be much better when it is dry and full of healthy vegetation. in the interim you suffer the perils of the swamp.
focus attention where you want things to grow.

this is a great question?
btc has been centralised. expensive to transact. privacy - seems non existent with chainanalysis ...... complete change from satoshi vision. why? how? who? follow the money.
yes money go up but at what cost to btc?
it's time to seek the facts people. the current btc is another selective narrative.

when btc started it would appear the 10 minute wait was acceptable. if there are any that used btc in this time it would be great to know what the experience was like. pros and cons.
today's corruption of currency and the financial tools, makes 10 mins seem like a small price to pay for the freedom. the downside are the fees to do small transactions, which reduces the feasibility of using btc for minor transactions. yes there are some great l2 solutions. are we reinventing the wheel though?
if btc was unlimited transactions from the start and only installed small blocks for protection of the early network, would it be reckless to consider expanding the scope of operations to match the network scale?
the danger is ossification or stagnation. if nobody uses the network for anything other than huge payments, it is no longer the people's money. can l2s be locked out of the network? eg: can lightning be switched off/disconnected?
thank you for your response. it is all extremely helpful in understanding.
good fortunes with your ventures.

btc is being attacked on two fronts from outside and from within. satoshi's white paper spoke of nothing more than a medium of exchange. the store of value was never mentioned. it is arguable therefore the value is the medium of exchange.
crisis of confidence - small blocks, big blocks.
small blocks allow millions of nodes to run domestically. they also protect against 'dod' attack of the network. in the early days this was necessary. today with millions of users, less so.
big blocks allow for more and faster transactions. btc is scaleable. it always has been. spv made that possible, it is still possible today. the small blocks were only a precaution in the early days. so why do we still have small blocks?
small blocks make it easier for everyone to store a full node. given the full node is less than a tb, this is really not a something we should be worried about. most businesses run 40tb servers+. btc could expand the block size and still maintain 100s of thousands of nodes. so why keep blocks small? who wins?
in the short term those setting fees. in the long term, nobody. btc will fail to be of any value unless it is returned to being a medium of exchange. it is only an asset if it has value to people. if the network only handles the monster payments, what value is it to you and i?
dollar go up is completely the wrong thinking.
use btc to avoid fraud, corruption and dystopian rule. return to a free market and peace. the value in that is instant.
if you are in business or starting out price in btc. sell, buy borrow lend .... in btc and create the world you want for you and yours.
lets also open the discussion around block size again and stop the censorship from within. this way we win on both fronts. we leave fiat behind and move on with the world's best money.

this should be stopped at all costs.
this is the pinnacle of the "you will own nothing" concept. when banks fail next time round, creditors will become the owners not those who invested.
the assets will be funneled to this system and you will never see them again. it has zero benefit for the individual.
by way of example. you have bought your house and it is debt free. the bank still has your loan (even though it is paid) as part of their collateral to acquire further credit.
in the event bank fails and is one of those that does not get bailed out, the creditors will become the owners of all their assets. that includes your house as it is still a collateral item against their loan.
your house is now no longer yours.
note: just about every bank is in debt. FDIC is not going to save you this time.
same for any other asset you own.
still want the database?

bitcoin is money and money only. it is not designed for anything else, nor capable without potential destruction of the protocol all have been defending.
ethereum, cardano et al have their own place too. they can if they govern themselves appropriately be the engine of industry. if tokens are the method of intermediary exchange by agreement - then so be it.
ultimately everything settles in bitcoin. the only truly hard money.
that said, it is not there yet. it still needs to manage scaling and overcome miner centralisation.
if wiser heads than mine can bring these issues to the table and negotiate in an adult manner, i am sure the world will be a much better place for it.

could not agree with this more.
'they" are intent on dividing. individuals break quickly
united - we have each others backs and that is a force.
building is what divides them. burns their resources. forces them to print. and that ironically is a good thing. the sooner fiat hyperinflates the sooner "they" crash. sure it will be an ugly ride but sometimes it's better to just rip the band aid off.
the loonacy we're witnessing, is desperation. covid has been discovered as a craig wright.
now they desperately need/have to sell digital id and CBDC. the world doesn't trust them. so they, shut down the influencers, silence the critics....
we need to expose every charge and arrest, widely, loudly and longly (is that a word? 🙃 ).
Goebbels said -
"tell the lie loud enough and long enough, people will believe it."
'they" still use this tactic. telling us what to believe.
if we use it - it is the truth

used both. both will get you basic BTC Lightning nodes setup.
Umbrel, is a platform that sits on your operating system. it is easier to understand for non tech and has an extensive range of plug and play apps.
Start9 OS is definitely more tech oriented. It is an Operating System with some ready to go, plug and play apps but limited number compared to Umbrel. that said those with tech skills and knowledge of docker can load and run others, with reduced risk to system . accessing cli requires shh, which makes it much more hands on.
umbrel on linux is due a major update (assuming it hasn't happened). could be a game changer. mac win updates have already run I beleive.
If you run a blog, podcast or similar, Start9 offers platforms to do so out of the box. Haven't found these options on Umbrel.
Both are run on 2010 laptops (Umbrel on Linux) - and run faultlessly.
hope this helps.
ditto @npub1maw…cwdl give them both a go see best fit for you. good luck.

Hey Matt, @npub13lk…lpsy subject to your IT skills (or those around you) Ghost on Start9 OS or Linux, is an option for bloggers. you own everything. the downside (if you consider it that way) is you manage your server. subscriptions/funding via strike
hope this helps 🙃
stay strong daniel, the brave always find a way.

thank you Jeff. that makes a lot more sense. it looks like it could be a bumpy road getting there. having witnessed enough war zones break out in peace, I believe we will get there.
thank you for your time and thoughts. greatly appreciated.

Hi Matt and @npub1u59…ukav
I am no expert in your areas. However, being in the same boat, I look to countries and areas where BTC adoption is greatest. Africa, India, Asia and of course El Salvador. Learning what projects are leading the adoption. eg: Telecom companies like World Mobile. Its basic infrastructure now. If the economies they support grow, so will their infrastructure needs. Jobs that could well be paid in BTC. If the jobs you need are not there, are your skills transferable to the industries that are employing?
Alternatively a much more basic and homegrown approach, is do your daily weeky shops with Lightning. Encourage the businesses to download a Lightning Wallet, show them how easy it is to take a payment. Its cash off the books. More importantly it is money that is beating the cost of inflation. All profit no pain.
It starts with one. Barbers are a good start - they have time for a chat 🙃 Just build from there. Ben at @npub1rxy…hnp8, has a great playlist around this.
Good luck to you both.

Black SwanDragon Breeding Program.
its a little ugly to start, but persevere.
start a bitcoin communitywhere you shop. get your butcher, baker, hairdresser etc to accept lightning payments. (show them how to download and setup wallet) pay them then and there. they love seeing it work. simple. fast.
get paid in bitcoin for your own product/services.
like cash its out the loop and many love that. btc is also beating inflation and who's not gonna love that?! profit without pain.
nuture this ugly duckling and it soon grows to be a big Black SwanDragon 🙃

when it comes time - most do whatever they can to stay alive.
given this is the default survival mode, it is best to find a solution that most can adopt and manage.
you talk of bullies. remember the schoolyard bully - how many walked away in tears? how many avoided them at all costs?
making them use as many resources as possible is the smart thinking. make them have to look in as many places as possible. make them have to acquire passwords or other secure access from multiple locations or people, make the rewards for every effort worthless (ie more costly than the reward) ....
drain their resources trying to drain ours.

it is hard to see anything other than a very ugly war ahead.
when you try to take the toys from a spoilt brat ..... yup they spit the dummy. today that dummy has a button.
.... the real danger, is that one of them will try to press it.
their system has to be disrupted, dismantled, discarded.
draining the swamp, come election time is a start.
the chaos of a free market post election will hammer their portfolios not to mention how long it will take to build new channels of corruption, assuming they can. trying to mobilise an army when they nolonger know who is in charge ....
just sayin'
