There's already a few nips in the works.
@nprofile1q... is lead on nostriot

I couldn't agree more. Bitfest was a reboot of the sorts of events that first inspired me to work on bitcoin. No corp/political agendas, cliques or vip nonesense, just peers hanging and exchanging ideas.
@nevent1qqs...

It's all just so odd. Odder still how it managed to become status quo

It kinda comes from this. Having the stripe payments in the pos is useful as you can do things like sell bits to customers. That went through fine, however when someone bought "buy bitcoin" stamps from the webshop, stripe blacklisted us 🤣. Was first time I had to deal with "permissioned" system for a while, and it felt so odd. First time I zoomed out and look at just how backward flatland is for years. Thank God I live in bitcoinland where things make sense.

Fuck all banks. No trusted third parties!

Why?

Didn't work :(

It’s so odd that for most jobs, you’re required to have a bank account so your employer can pay your hard-earned money into it, and then, by the bank’s good grace, you’re allowed to access the money you actually earned. While the private bank recklessly mismanages your money and surveils your spending. A weird and recent arrangement dressed up as normal and inevitable.
Fuck banks.

I think that's what I hate, that they think they can hypnotize people to get their way.

Hahaha

I can't, I want to kick them in the balls until they speak normally.

There are a few in our industry as well 👀
