What I'm curious about is the dynamics of trust across various activities. For example, I trust some people to wash my car, but not to drive it. I trust some people to come to my house, but not to be there alone.

I wonder how this might translate to the digital realm and how the digital WoT will translate to the physical realm as well.

I agree with everything you said there. I also wrote an article using Titanic as a metaphor. Personally, I put as much of my time and energy in the new system as possible. My whole life revolves around Bitcoin in most ways, which is great.

However I think telling people not to measure bitcoin in dollars is ignoring the current reality we are living in.

For example, if Bitcoin consistently lost fiat value year over year nobody would want to own it. It would have minor advantages over dollars (self custody/ censorship resistance ect), but I think NGU is fundamentally essential to bitcoin's success.

Claiming otherwise ignores economic reality. Maybe that's not Jeff's point or yours, but that's what I'm hearing when I hear someone way to stop measuring bitcoin in dollars.

I'm so excited to see the full scope of what WoT is capable of. I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of it and I think about it all the time.

Thank you for the honest response and the hard work. I truly appreciate what you do.

I'm curious if you are using specific AIs or translation services for your work if you'd be willing to share.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how these posts are created, but it doesn't change the error.

The message says that Tucker tells the crowd _______ and goes on to say something he didn't say. That's an inaccuracy, which might not be your opinion, but it alters the message significantly.. In fact the reason I watched the video is because I was shocked that he said "America-last."

The reason I provide this feedback is because I care about your service. I am also terribly disappointed in the mainstream news for running headlines which are misleading.

It's possible that I am missing the hidden complexities of journalism and maybe all of the misleading headlines are honest mistakes, but I'd like to see a news source in the nostr/bitcoin world who doesn't do that.

All of this is more of a personal pet peeve of mine. It's not necessarily directly at you. I truly appreciate the information you provide.

"America-last", is a far stretch from what he actually said.

That's your opinion, not something he said.

@nprofile1q... I truly appreciate the work you do. I look at your posts every day.

However I have been disappointed numerous times by reading your posts and then watching the video to discover that the text you're attributing to someone is not a direct quote, but rather your opinion.

This is a very slippery slope for anyone providing news and I'm sure it's not easy to keep yourself out of it, but please don't quote people inaccurately or claim they said something they do not. It reflects poorly on your brand.

According to what Ben said it would be irrelevant to reference the declaration of independence in our current relationship with Great Britain πŸ˜‚

Anyone else catch that?
