I agree some combination of lighting and ecash is the path forward. However, there will undoubtedly be many different solutions with their own tradeoffs and we are free to choose what we want to use.

I still believe that Saylor is a huge net positive for #Bitcoin.
He is not trying to sell to any of us who already understand it. He is talking to the vast majority of the population who don’t really care about self sovereignty or separating money from state.
The reality is that the vast majority of the world’s capital is held by fiat institutions. We should want as many people exposed to Bitcoin as possible regardless of if they choose to take self custody or not.
The beauty of Bitcoin is that no one controls it and it doesn’t matter what other people do or say, we can hold our own keys and build the world that we want to see.
As Saylor often talks about, having the option to take self custody is what is so powerful but it won’t be for everyone and that is okay.

Sometimes, as a thought experiment, I will imagine what if all of the critics are right about #Bitcoin. What if we have all fallen for a massive hype cycle, we never hit a new ATH, hashrate falls, LN and ecash don't scale, and Ive wasted the past 5 years looking like a fool falling down the rabbit hole and evangelizing to friends and family.
Even as thought experiment it never lasts long though, because there in no real logical argument against BTC.

A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
by: John Perry Barlow
https://m.primal.net/KzSz.webp
Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions.
You have not engaged in our great and gathering conversation, nor did you create the wealth of our marketplaces. You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions.
You claim there are problems among us that you need to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts. Many of these problems don't exist. Where there are real conflicts, where there are wrongs, we will identify them and address them by our means. We are forming our own Social Contract. This governance will arise according to the conditions of our world, not yours. Our world is different.
Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.
We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.
We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.
Your legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context do not apply to us. They are all based on matter, and there is no matter here.
Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge. Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose.
In the United States, you have today created a law, the Telecommunications Reform Act, which repudiates your own Constitution and insults the dreams of Jefferson, Washington, Mill, Madison, DeToqueville, and Brandeis. These dreams must now be born anew in us.
You are terrified of your own children, since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants. Because you fear them, you entrust your bureaucracies with the parental responsibilities you are too cowardly to confront yourselves. In our world, all the sentiments and expressions of humanity, from the debasing to the angelic, are parts of a seamless whole, the global conversation of bits. We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which wings beat.
In China, Germany, France, Russia, Singapore, Italy and the United States, you are trying to ward off the virus of liberty by erecting guard posts at the frontiers of Cyberspace. These may keep out the contagion for a small time, but they will not work in a world that will soon be blanketed in bit-bearing media.
Your increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech itself throughout the world. These laws would declare ideas to be another industrial product, no more noble than pig iron. In our world, whatever the human mind may create can be reproduced and distributed infinitely at no cost. The global conveyance of thought no longer requires your factories to accomplish.
These increasingly hostile and colonial measures place us in the same position as those previous lovers of freedom and self-determination who had to reject the authorities of distant, uninformed powers. We must declare our virtual selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the Planet so that no one can arrest our thoughts.
We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.

Very nice to meet you Auxmos. Very well put!
Like @npub1jfn…t047 said, I’m very glad to hear you are working on brining a better understanding of #bitcoin to the church.
Many of my loved ones are Christians and I have such a hard time explaining how I feel about the church. I think that having a group of like minded people coming together being grateful, singing, and praying together is very powerful and important.
The Bible is without doubt one of if not the most powerful and significant works of literature ever written.
But in my mind it is still undoubtedly work of man (although all of our actions are the work of “God”) and there is so much wisdom to be drawn from it.
I feel that the key is drawing your own conclusions, although we must learn from everyone around us.
Will definitely be digging in to that paper! I’m glad there are people like you who are better with words than I am🫡❤️

2024-08-03 13:01:34

Will definitely check them out and I appreciate you giving your perspective.
I guess my only push back would be the idea that the Bible could be misinterpreted at all. In my mind it is a work of literature and however one interprets it is god speaking through it 🤷‍♂️

I used to think that Jesus was just a successful cult leader.
I still feel that he was a man like anyone else. However, he was a man who realized the truth that god is within all of us and makes up all of creation.
I identify closely with Spinoza’s idea of god as the force that moves all things. We are all parts of the whole, temporarily perceiving our self through a limited perspective.
It is hard to draw any real distinction between ourselves and the world around us.
Everyone I try to talk to about this looks at me like I’m crazy.
Any thoughts?
