โ ๏ธ Youโre wasting time trying to explain Bitcoin to the wrong people.
Most never get it.
Some pretend to.
A few actually do.
After 8 years of trying, I finally figured out why.

@JB you will like that!
I knew THEY were the problem.
Great video, terrible sponsor.
whatโs wrong with Casa?
It is run by Jameson Lopp. In my opinion he is a bad actor in the space. If not a shitcoiner, certainly shitcoin adjacent. Lots of great Bitcoin only options for multi-dig and inheritance planning.
@Jameson Lopp is not a bad actor. Heโs been here building on bitcoin since before almost anyone youโll ever know.
Casa supports ETH my friend. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what weโre doing here. Or at least what Iโm doing here.
i would disagree with that portrayal from the info I have
regardless, it is a platform that first and foremost promotes bitcoin self-custody relentlessly and they have built a ton of resources for bitcoin-only wallets and setups, which is in line with my mission.
i will never be advising or promoting shitcoinery myself
Yeah, Iโm aware of that and the reasons. I was even critical of it in the beginning. Remember the 13% meme? I shared a bunch of those. But you might be surprised to discover how many bitcoiners hold ETH, much of it bought in the crowdsale for pennies. Maybe if there was a larger market for multisig security they wouldnโt have to look for other revenue sources, but obviously they made a decision to offer it to their customers because of demand. Heโs also not the only person in the company who makes decisions. Just my nuanced and evolved thoughts. Ethereum is still a shitcoin and nobody should hold it. Thatโs also my opinion.

The โbitcoin purity testโ means absolutely nothing and is primarily a way for Ten31 and friends to milk you for money.
Just because you do not like a shitcoin does not mean everyone should stop making products that support it. โI donโt like it so no one else should tooโ vibes.
Indeed, I've been a shitcoiner for as long as I've been a bitcoiner. You see, the same curiosity that led me to bitcoin leads me to explore the utility of other technologies.
I'll never apologize for being open minded and curious. ๐
You are an evil shitcoiner. That is not what open mind is. You are also disgusting manipulator.

What a disgusting liar. Citrea started this shit with Antoine because they needed OP_RETURN bigger than 83 Bytes.

Fuck Citrea shitcoiners and Fuck Zerobase / ZBT.
"ZEROBASE is a decentralized cryptographic infrastructure network that enables verifiable off-chain computation using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and trusted execution environments (TEEs).
It powers products like zkStaking, zkLogin, and ProofYieldโbridging institutional DeFi, user privacy, and real-world asset strategies.
ZEROBASE delivers programmable, compliance-aligned staking and transparent cryptographic assurance without exposing sensitive data."
Does that remind you what the fucking shitcoin Citrea is doing on Bitcoin? Sounds familiar?
"Zero-knowledge rollups โ a technology usually associated with scaling the Ethereum blockchain โ are now coming to Bitcoin."
๐คก๐คก๐คก
"With Citrea, Chainway is working to help Bitcoin better accommodate decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs and other use cases that were previously only possible on smart contract-based blockchains like Ethereum, but are now possible for Bitcoin to handle."
"We're hearing things like Citrea is better than Ethereum," Chainway Labs co-founder Orkun Mahir Kฤฑlฤฑรง told CoinDesk. "It'll be better with time, because there's like $1 trillion, as of now, sitting in the Bitcoin blockchain. It is the most secure, battle-tested and decentralized blockchain. And we are bringing decentralized finance to it." ๐คก๐คก๐คก

Core V30 is malware that enables Citrea shitcoin technology.
Majority of Core devs are compromised.

Chainway labs who are behind the Citrea shitcoiners and bad actors were supporting inscriptions spam.
Citrea is their project that started all this shit and Lopp the bad actor and evil shitcoiner is inverstor in Citrea.
Citrea is trying to turn Bitcoin into Ethereum like shticoin.

The divide I see is between technologists and monetary maximalists. People who are distracted by what CAN be done, often miss what SHOULD be done. The smartest ones are the most dangerous. We have a once in a species opportunity to fix the incentive system of the most important tool humans use and you want to misuse it. To do so, you and others have been social engineering chinks in the armor (core30 as the latest example) since the code didnโt allow to attack it without changes. You present as a libritarian technologist who just wants to push the boundaries of what can be done but what I see is antisocial manipulative behavior and a drive for undue power and influence. A wolf in sheepโs clothing.
Sure, the divide is between folks who see how Bitcoin actually works vs those who would like for it to work differently.
And yet you have to social engineer holes in it for it to do what you want it to do. Thatโs like saying a Lamborghini can plow a farmers field because you welded a tractor implement to its rear bumper.
โIf it wasnโt intended to be a plow, then why are there welding points under the bumper?โ
It's a struggle, sad to see loved ones not getting it. But then there's also many things we may not understand either and be lazy to deep dive to understand.
@Julian Figueroa you should stop using your Twitter avatar URL as your Nostr profile pic. It doesnโt load because of the direct link. Better to upload it directly. Rookie mistake!
Oooof nostr class of 2023 rookie mistake! Thanks for calling out, just fixed!! Hope alls been well at Pubkey these days!!!
Wouldnโt know, havenโt been there in 6 months. ๐คฃ

@Julian Figueroa Great work. Can I ask what lapel microphone you're using in your outdoor recordings? Sounds quality is really good.
Omg "I like trains" took me OUT! ๐คฃ

You're wasting time trying to explain how cars work instead of teaching people how to drive.
Dude!
I knew you were good as soon as you showed up but I think I underestimated just how good.
Great video!
The system is not broken or mismanaged.
The system is working EXACTLY how it was intended to.
The system exists to exploit us, to drain as much wealth from us as possible.
You are fuckin right !! And i always think the same ....
Midwit skeptic here checking in.
Duuuude, you literally said โbillions of Bitcoinโ ๐ another rookie mistake!
billions WORTH of bitcoin

What about Archetype 6 Post-Coiners.
People, many of whom were the early Bitcoiners, & are seeing the technology isn't keeping up with the times.
We've read the whitepapers, & quotes we know the devs wanted to implemented privacy, we see the bickering of pointless core vs. knots debates, and how financial interests hold back major changes to L1.
Bitcoin was a good prototype but technology grows, and innovates.
I will say of all the Bitcoiners, your videos, and @BTC Sessions are probably the most compelling videos I've seen so far since you guys actually care about the protocol, technology, and freedom, while a lot of other Bitcoin influencers are singing the praises of Blackrock, Michael Saylor, and Donald Trump instead of Satoshi, Hal Finney, and the others who made Bitcoin a good technology.
I am doing a โ7 Levels of Bitcoinโ video in the next few weeks which is exactly this topic - different depths of the rabbit hole
I'm interested to check it out when it comes out, and also discuss, if you're looking to get various perspectives from people.
This came up organically on my YouTube feed today and I watched it all...well done!
had interesting encounters yesterday with locals and some relatives about this. talking about btc and sats and they all looked at me blank ๐คฃ then I realised they're not ready yet. Lol

Mysteries of the Bitcoin Citadel

Mysteries of the Bitcoin Citadel โข Listen on Fountain
When Lauren and Ellie inherit their late uncleโs cabin, they uncover more than family secrets. Discovering a hidden world built on buried clues, ...

Iโd be the type youโd describe as mid-curve. First of all, letโs clear up some misunderstandings. See, I fully understand, we shouldnโt trust corrupt politicians or states. They take our money and use it against us (like the genocide in Palestine). The powerful get richer while the poor get poorer.
However, when you look at corrupt states, you see they use force against their own population. So yes, they might actually turn off the internet. India did that in the occupied part of Kashmir (
).
Germany has a terrible past, and today they again support genocide. If you speak up, theyโll give you trouble. Corrupt nations donโt care about their people โ they want to take their money and keep their populations as a kind of slave class.
The point is, I find it very likely that these same corrupt states will one day understand the power of Bitcoin and raise taxes so high that buying it becomes hard. For rich people, sure, they can move to another country. But for ordinary people, who might struggle to find a job abroad, the situation could look very different.
So, I wouldnโt underestimate the power of corrupt politicians. Theyโll bomb babies and call it self-defense โ memories of a state called Israel.

you have to plant seeds instead of trying to explain everything to them all once, most people aren't capable of critical thinking because the government schools have destroyed their critical thinking skills
Didn't know you are on nostr! ๐ค
You're 100% right.
But I figured it out a little faster than you. After about 4 years of trying.

The sycophant clickbait has arrived
## 1) The Normie
- Fiat-Loser (Fiat-Mindset, Fiat-Behaviour, Fiat-Habits)
- Method for Orange-Pilling: Mention that If you bought 1 dollar bitcoin for the last seven years you would now have 100k.
## 2) The Idealogue
- Recognizes "all" the problems in the world and then traces them back to the false reasons.
- Wrong Mindset: The problem is the "player", the "scoreboard", the "referee" -> reality: The "game" is rigged
- Method for Orange-Pilling: Skip / Avoid / Ignore
## 3) The Midcurve
- Asks the wrong questions and gets hung up on them
- Method for Orange-Pillinng: Asking the question "Do you think the system is broken or mismanaged?"
## 4) The Skeptic
- Questions everything not just the monetary system but also f.e. the real truth behind the epstein files, 9/11, etc.
- Recognizes the totalitarian scheming, f.e. Digital IDs, CBDCs, social credit scores
- Method for Orange-Pilling: Point them to the Bitcoin Whitepaper; Explain them the fundamentels and technicals: PoW, Incentives, cryptography, etc.
## 5) The 90%ers
- Questions everything but also believes in something
- People who are already succesful and souvereing in their thinking and acting
- Method for Orange-Pilling: Your deep conviction about Bitcoin will convince them.
> Good Luck orange-pilling the different archetypes!
