Without Bitcoin and Nostr, I would have a very hard time staying positive.

The echo chamber is helpful but I prefer the fringes. Orange and purple pilling people who are already asking questions. Seeing them turn towards the light.

It doesn't happen every day. Or every week. But when it does happen, I know I've made a difference. The world is a slightly better place. I have fulfilled my role.

Amazing that "a libertarian form of money without government oversight" can be painted as a dystopia that can only be remedied by a surveillance state with zero privacy.

I love that they've conveniently managed to avoid any comparison to the dystopia the rest of the world are currently living in, where governments rob you through inflation they've created, freeze the bank accounts of people who have said hurty words, or demand a report for every transaction over $500...

No, apparently the real crisis is that someone can exchange currency "with few questions asked and almost no regulation" - as if requiring permission to access your own money is the natural order rather than a dystopian nanny state we're all subject to because 'won't somebody please think of the children/elderly scam victims'...
