21 sats \ 10 replies \ @Scoresby OP 13 Nov \ parent \ on: ₿ *and* sats? Best of both worlds or not so much? bitcoin
It is difficult. typing multiple characters is annoying. probably more so than going through emoji selection. I love all the imagery of the lightning bolt and the kabab symbol, but I think they are step too far for normie world. Many bitcoiners might even struggle with them.
how do u go thru the emoji selection?
i always go thru a github page, then copy-paste;
it's -///- or sats, both take some time, depends on the keyboard typing skill and
the message one wishes to convey; sats are fine by me when typed, but when i hand-write, it's -///- upright; i keep the lines wonky/slanted, in a caligraphic fashion;
my education campaign in the occult sciences is coming very slowly; takes time to represent good material that is 1000's of years old;

The way you represent with a set of ascii characters is innovative and accessible by anyone, even so it does not feel original it still recogizable.
I've been personally a fan of the 丰 hamburger (the symbol, not the junk food) the satsymbol.com #9760 it is a great design job, full of meaning as you said. However not sure it fulfill the purpose, I still use it for graphical artifacts, but when text sats is the way, because g'luck typing ₿ or having it handy for copypasta.
Moreover, I feel that a great way to honor and remember Satoshi.

justin_shocknet u may be hating it becuz u don't get it, and the barrier to understanding is thru some dense reading material (or a video presentation);
y wud u ignore something that has been knownable for eons of time, and wonder if mind control is somehow beyond symbols?
symbols are etched in the minds of people since birth, thru childhood, and jnto adulthood; frankly the English code is all symbols and shapes;

As long as I've been in Lightning, if I still need to watch some occult slop to get it then there's no hope for people at-large to get it. Even if I cared about the deeper meaning its still aesthetically retarded and pretentious.
Dropping 7 (+2) hours video and expecting others to catch the meaning of the 丰 it is way too optimistic. There's definitely some truth there, but again, you cannot expect everyone to digest this bombs in a easy way. For many, and for you too I guess, it takes years of study, you'll risk being dismissed and misunderstood. Use your words wisely.
There's a difference between Lightning and Lightening lol. sats are the unit of account for the first, what's the one for the latter? But hey, let's keep the lighting on on the matter

information is conveyed thru repetition: people have been dumbed down thru repetition of incorrect signal for eons; educators will have to raise people's consciousness thru repetition of correct signals, and repeat things whether or not the receiver's ears are ready or even want to hear it;
- "hey u shud look at bitcoin, hey u shud look at bitcoin, hey, hey, hey!"
- "use lightning, use it, use it, use lightning"

all of the above light- words have the same root, same general phonetics, and the euphonics - the vibrations produce similar resonance in the ears and in the mind; u may want to re-read the Trivium, especially the first chapter on sounds and the chapter on rhetoric - that book is meant to be read multiple times and referenced; same for the Quadrivium and the Designa books;
one cannot read the bible of nature's building blocks once and expect to get it all;
how many people have read Darthcoin's guide in the first day? in the last 5 years? u pointed out that the way i type posts looks like note-keeping; the kinds of posts i produce are meant to be referenced again and again and ring true many years later; i re-read my own posts routinely in order to make sure they are still OK - how many stackers do that?
once there is a good system in place on SN for referencing archives, the guides will work better! honestly, most posts in the daily feed today are slop;
