“IF BITCOIN IS SUCCESSFUL APPLE WILL BAN THE APPS. WE SHOULD JUST USE APPLE PAY.”
“IF NOSTR IS SUCCESSFUL APPLE WILL BAN THE APPS. WE SHOULD JUST USE X.”
BOTH TAKES SHOW A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF OPEN PROTOCOLS AND OPEN SOURCE CLIENTS.
DO BETTER. BE BETTER. FREE MEN DO NOT ASK PERMISSION.

Both show a lack of intellectual curiosity (at best) and (more likely) a toxic attachment to the status quo that will keep a large number of people from a proactively better life, until they desperately, reactively choose it because they need it, or (at worst) an intentional desire to block something that is a threat to their own position of power or control.
Lopp ( @Jameson Lopp) asked him the question i was wondering when i read that: shutting Bitcoin service providers or outright mining bans doesnt kill the network. Seems to be making a case around censorship resistance and PoW. Was surprised because i thought he had a solid history of Bitcoin-only advocacy
For some reason Parker thinks nostr isn't censorship resistant because it doesn't have PoW. He probably doesn't know there is a PoW NIP. He also probably hasn't considered that nostr's tight integration with lightning can act as a form of PoW (imposing economic costs on certain actions.)
PoW can cost as little as a single sat
Learning this in my business right now. Looking at a restructuring everything from the public to the private.
Once you learn “there are two of everything” it’s hard to go back!
Private is always better than public, giving you full control (as long as you don't have a board that backstabs). PMA's do ever better in that regard from what I've heard.
A man that knows the stuff “they” don’t want us too!
Yea I’m working on drafting a private express trust that is an “unincorporated business organization” / PMA as you point out
Just have to carve out the time to do so
it does say something about Apple
“Free men don’t ask permission”. That is right.
There is a way of saying this without coming across like a rapist but for some weird reason you decided against it.
booya!
think he's doing it for the engagement? I've never had a blue check on Twitter but don't they pay for engagement?
what's engagement get you?
whatever increases your twitter check
FREE MEN DO NOT ASK FOR PERMISSION. 🗣👏

Well you’re free until she tells the cops😅
Matt i’m right with you fuck X
However
Yes
I’d rather use Apple Pay with fiat than spend the hardest money ever made
I know that wasn’t your point I’m just ranting
It doesn’t seem smart to spend a scarce asset that only goes up over the long term on any significant purchase
Why wouldn’t a person just use fiat
So yes
Im all for freedom tech
But I won’t be convinced to spend my bitcoin in the name of freedom tech
Like “hey you own a scarce asset that will only go up over the long term spend it on discretionary items to stick it to the system”
No thanks
life changing event major life upgrade then fine I get it
Bullshit … why?
So yes .. I still want my Apple Pay and my Freedom
There is no way to stop this technology
U know I think the next is apps installed from the browser
"FREE MEN DO NOT ASK PERMISSION". AMEN!! 🫂 💜 🫡
go ahead, take what you want. 🫡
I like it. But really we're all slaves. If we don't do tax paper work watch what happens.
So true
How free are you if your stack is KYC
*We (People, Bitcoiners)
*They (People, Government)
We all understand why they can block the protocols, we know that they are more interested in controlling us than in developing natural technologies and protocols.
We also know that there are still very few of us, less than one percent, we know that most of us are not government officials or military, we know that we do not have weapons, so we try to be anonymous, but not all of us do everything we need to be safe.
And we also know that we are not understood, that they do not understand what we are talking about until we explain it for an hour, that some people think we are strange, aliens, or worse, cultists. Doesn't this remind you of anything?!!
I think that when we think like this, we harm ourselves, we dig our own grave. We have to stop doing this. Because now is the moment when everything has to change.
We need to get out of our rabbit hole as soon as possible, create more simple instructions and involve as many people as possible... and preferably, these people should be "them". We need to stop separating money and the state, us and them. Otherwise, they will declare war on us, and you yourself write about it. Let's go to all governments with books, let's create programs for them. Let's create our future world without any wars.
Let us become them.
You always need permission from your internet provider. All of them are 100 % state controlled.
strong caps, apple and x have small market shares compared to the biggest, i see apple shrinking x growing a bit then shrinking
p2p will shake down everything, facebook will be hit worst
