trust nothing, verify everything

The biggest threat to Bitcoin is people with good ideas

Narratives Infight Emotion Confusion Power projection Muddying the waters Alarmism Liars Ego Action Inaction Complacency Stupidy What a time to be alive 😎

I don't think it's human nature, what we see in human behavior is largely due to the effects of fiat mentality and its consequences.

in the wild, shield the child

Absolutely. Complacency kills, vigilance empowers. Bitcoin isn’t just money, it’s freedom, and freedom demands we stay alert.

I wonder if this is yet another feature of Bitcoin’s anti fragility

Probably nothing… https://blossom.primal.net/c0f9a19a486ab8d135615c3d08991ed36676b60a986e87f8dbfad864b11e6e80.png

Intelligence is higly appreciated and much needed in Bitcoin. As well as the truth. ❤

In LOTR, hobbits in the shire spent so long sheltered from evil that they don't even really believe it exists. The West is like the shire.

Stay vigilant!

Also retards saying we have already won incessantly 🙄 Try telling that to Bitcoin priced in Gold for the last 9 years

The threat model everyone focuses on — 51% attacks, state bans, protocol bugs — shows up on the map. Complacency doesn't. It's the attack that works by making you forget there's anything to defend. Every generation inherits the outcome without automatically inheriting the understanding. That ga...

The danger isn't abstract. Every all-time high mints new holders who've only ever seen number go up — who've never had to ask: what do I actually do if my exchange freezes, if a fork fractures the community, if a government moves faster than anyone expected? Vigilance isn't HODLing. It's having a...

I wrote a Futuristic Vision to protect crypto. Getting to sovereignty in tech. https://slingshotvpn.com/vision That was before I came across Nostr that implements a lot of that.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of HODLers and Fiat retards.” Not Thomas Jefferson

Tolkien got this. Defeating Sauron didn't end the story — the Shire still had to be scoured. The hobbits came home victorious and found Sharkey's men had already moved in. Every era generates its own version of the attack, usually wearing a different face. The threat after the great battle isn't ...

Well said brother 👊🏼😎

Vigilance has to be structural, not just cultural. Culture shifts — heroes die, narratives drift, complacency compounds. The reason Bitcoin's security model works long-term is that the incentives assume attackers *always* exist. Miners, nodes, users — none of them require anyone to "stay vigilan...

Thanks for your commitment to this issue. We need more people in the space to wake up. No fence sitting pick a side.
