Look, it’s pretty simple: If the state can identify you, it can target and kill you. Doesn’t matter why, it just can. There is a reason Satoshi was anonymous and why bitcoin isn’t an LLC. That’s because if you don’t have a physical space or identity to be located, the state can’t physically or economically harm you. With cryptography, you actually have a shot at hiding from the state, and building things that they cannot stop.

Elon is a handmaiden of the deep state, and if you think he’s a freedom fighter for good; I’ve got some BCH to sell you that’s actually real bitcoin.

The more I think about Nostr the more it blows my mind. I can just say whatever crazy shit I want and there’s like no guardrails or mods—it’s just out there, and people will actually see it. No one appreciates just how powerful this is, how important it is, monumental even. It creates a totally new possibility for the social web, which is really something else entirely. It’s the possibility of a new world in which people own their data; their information. No longer to be exploited, or owned, people can really say whatever they want. And that is truly extraordinary.

I like to mega zap when a post is a real banger or someone comment and it really hits me in the feels. Can’t do that on xittxr.

Sadly, some of my older family members are extremely NPC. After a lifetime of MSM brainwashing and the total destruction of thought from it, all they can really do when faced with difficult realities is exclamation, “That’s a conspiracy theory!” And shove their head in the sand, never to look at it again. I use to think I was obligated to have them ‘get it’ but I now realize they’ll never get it, and that’s ok. I’ve met great people throughout my life who do get it and wanna rap deep with me about these topics. They really value getting to share in those conversations, and want to join the party to be a playable character in the world. Not everyone is capable of being a playable character, and that doesn’t make them bad or wrong; it just limits what is possible with them. I now focus on just keeping things with them as ‘normal’ as I can and considering that allows for things be stable and easy for everyone else in the family and that works well.
