The fact that so many influencers who are vocal anti-CBDC immediately complied with twitter identity verification and continue to defend their decision is an incredibly interesting case study on the human condition.

Important to learn from all of this so we can better prepare for what comes next.

When you rely on Twitter to power your engagement funnels, it's pretty easy to understand they can't afford to lose their "standing" on the ole Twatter or it would significantly impact their impressions, clicks, revenue, etc. Anyone with any common sense knows it isn't about getting longer or editab...

Half of the world’s financial system? Yeah sure, this guy thinks he can pull a Chinese app out of his hat but the western world will not roll with it unless we succumb to the elites.

The blue check is yet another symptom of Dollar Stockholm Syndrome… but no one wants to admit it. Meanwhile, #Bitcoin and Nostr are Beamin like Twin Beacons of Light. The sat-zapping on Nostr definitely feels very compatible with the cypherpunk Ethos (even after Apple’s App Store flex)… pre...

Sitting there with the fake space-car shirt, marvelous troll. By "done right" he means digital prison/UBI/CBDC scheme to force people into X.

I can’t help but think of Jihan Wu during the blocksize war. Elon can talk all this big game but his actions tell us a lot more: he is still holding Bitcoin. I think he has doubts this will actually work but every added blue check alleviates those doubts. So who is going to blink first?

He can keep the bird app if it forces people to kyc people. Fuck Elon and anyone who pushes for this kinda bullshit.

I'm afraid that you are right. People are incredible lazy, and for most people it is - unfortunate - much more convenient to just get verified and, later on, to start using a CBDC than to actually do what many of them would think of as best practice. I confess to be guilty of this with regard to pu...

Don’t take the blue check!

Being against something doesn't mean that we act consequently if it belongs to our benefit or convenience. (including me) That's what I am recognising since 40 years (I'm 62). It happens every day in our life. Buying cheap shirts, knowing it's made from children, buying chocolate, knowing the cacao ...

I regret that I subscribed for the blue check. I applied for the legacy checkmark after the Oslo FF 2022, that was before the whole Elon mess started. I thought it’s good to have it for my work in Africa so that people see, I’m not a scammer. I didn’t anticipate that Twitter would turn out to ...

I really appreciate what Elon has done to push advances in science, automotive and technology but the centralization aspect of his empire is freaky and distasteful
Amos Groth · 163w
So, how many bitcoiners still talking about the "pandemic" and/or complied with all that distopian stuff while shouting "don't trust, verify". Another interesting case of human psychology... 😎

If you want to know who someone really is, do not listen to what they say, just look at what they do. What you describe says as much about said influencers than about their following who still trust them blindly, even after being deceived. Deeds, not words.

CBDC is govt control. Twitter is private enterprise. FBI still work at twitter (X). The cognitive dissonance is big. Elon has the "rah, rah, rah" factor going for him, his usage (subtle) of NLP is masterful. After 3 years of mind manipulation some still haven't learned!

Building a parallel economy to isolate ourselves from the stupid masses and the oligarchs is the way. We don't want to stop them, we should just save ourselves first, them if we have time later

Possible future scenario: Think back to start of Covid lockdowns and then when the decision was made to send out checks. Governments are so inefficient and slow. Next time around the States could “partner” with Elon. And even other tech companies that want in on the action. PSA example: “...

What comes next is just a variation of what came before. They aren't very clever or imaginative. Strange how most people can't see the patterns.
BTCrevolutionary · 159w
Who in their right mind would sign up for X to handle payments for them? Has he not heard of Bitcoin? The problem he is trying to fix has been solved.
