always liked whichever Beatle played this - the backward phrasing and the way it fits into the mix, and for it's brevity -

lol, loved the control toggles - thx for this

meh, family is the ultimate proof of work - all the rest is LARP

yeah mircea rocked - as pitiless a character as he was, the radical voice in those trilema Bitcoin pieces always charged me up - i miss him like i miss trace mayer

posters on the r/Bitcoin sub are saying these two authors were the 'road to irrelevance' paper authors that caused much hilarity a while back - i'm left wondering how much they're being paid, and what it's denominated in...

a skiing ostrich gif lol

@justin_shocknet your new friend has showed up here, lol.

She mentions a high chance of election near the end of the interview, around 33-34 minutes.

Her party is 597 - there are some tweets, and interviews on You Tube from Surinamese TV -

597 Board -

ABC Suriname interview (Dutch, can be translated in settings)

STVS Suriname interview (Dutch, can be translated in settings)

The Suriname Decentralised Conference (7-9 November) covers Bitcoin and Nostr.

@justin_shocknet - maybe consider contacting them about doing a Shocknet presentation ?

yes, quite.

honestly, having scrolled thru various threads of late, i got the impression there wasn't any real organic enthusiasm for another 'feature fork' - the whole taproot thing being associated with all the ordinals/inscriptions garbage that everyone hates is probably the cause of that.

it didn't seem like it was even broad anti fork feelings as such, more of a reluctance to risk more 'unintended consequences' for something that may or may not be 'nice', but doesn't feel particularly imperative/urgent - in contrast, segwit was a long battle, but it got tied up with a cause - ie the narrative of fighting a hostile takeover- that made people rally to it.

you can't fake it to make it though, so if there isn't a 'vital' feel around it, it's probably not going to gain momentum, or attract interest in that way.

just sayin

lol, whether it's for real or FBI fake news, NYKNYC ETF-tards

i see you are as good as your word, kudos.

looks like they ditched the raining ticker tape animation for a completed donation - just a boring static image now, boo!

there's not many better than Ana Vidovic -

an exceptional talent.

given the noise being made by the EU and UK around Musk and X recently, it's most likely them behind it.

people use these platforms to circulate anti government information and to organise in groups - it's a reactionary, authoritarian effort by governments to try to impede the rising tide of revolt that is sweeping across seemingly ever larger areas of the world - while it's true that other possibilities exist for people to communicate and organise, the widespread use of these platforms means governments understand that banning will have an effect of limiting, albeit for a short time, the ability of people to mobilise in revolt against their states.

The UK unrest has been brewing for a long time - the native population has been exploited and browbeaten over their increasing resistance to mass immigration, multiculturalism (which is balkanisation by any other name), and the rainbow cult undermining their way of life for years, (actually decades), now. The new Prime Minister, Kier Starmer of the widely reviled Labour party, is being labelled 'Two Tier Kier' because of his blatant and repeated pandering to the ever growing immigrant cohort - the Labour party are widely known to import their vote - and after months now of immigrant 'protests' , and an endless stream of 'refugees' being ferried into the country, which receive nothing but indulgence, the native population are beginning to flare up in demonstrations against immigration related issues - and the new government response has been police violence, condemnation and slander of the natives in crackdowns that are further enraging the native people in light of the disparity of treatment between their actions and those of the immigrants. There is a festering sore of resentment in particular around the government attitude to muslims - they are fawned over - in a country which has seen mass rape, election fraud and terrorist attacks on the natives committed by muslims, again across decades, and the blatant pandering by the government and police is igniting them into furious action.

yes, they can, and are some of the techniques i'm alluding to - they are, however, not 'baked in' aspects of Bitcoin, and require the deliberate participation of the user to be advantaged by them.

This reads like a combination of a smear, and an attempt at 'shaming' of exactly the type the author tries to deride 'right-wing' people in expressing, with a nod to ecash projects (that you mustn't criticise 'because brown people' lol) mixed in with the desire to claim ('appropriate'?) Bitcoin on behalf of a partisan leftist sensibility.
