The other thing that really resonated was the "self-concept" part... I.e., better define your own self-concept, or someone else is going to define it for you. I've seen this happen with people who ar...

I loved that part, as well!

And I agree that people tend to be reactive like this. I think it’s just part of the human condition and that we all do it to some degree.

Could I ask a small favor? Would you mind leaving a rating a review on the platform you listened to this on? I will happily zap you 3,000 sats for doing so.

Listening now, really interesting... What strikes me is something Vinay Gupta said a long time ago, which is that Bitcoin can't be divorced from a political ideology or philosophy. The error I think...

Thank you for taking the time to listen and to comment.

I agree with what Gupta said. It’s very hard to divorce anything from political ideology.

Agreed that more from the political right tend to enter this space and that Trump only supercharged that trend.

We’ll see if the Bitcoin voters who supported him will feel that he delivered enough for them in retrospect.

Also, kudos to you for having a strong moral/political compass.

The other thing that really resonated was the "self-concept" part... I.e., better define your own self-concept, or someone else is going to define it for you. I've seen this happen with people who are "apolitical", but are sort of culturally Left or Right... They all inevitably wind up being partis...

Many of us came to #Bitcoin because of this new system's potential to (re)distribute power.

Ideas from political philosophies such as #Libertarianism and #Anarchy permeated much of the early discourse in the Bitcoin space.

But in recent years, a sense of #authoritarianism and #elitism has crept in, making this space feel less unique and more like many traditional spaces.

I recently sat down with Hannah Rosenberg of Lightning Labs to discuss this shift, whether or not human beings are unavoidably hierarchical, and if the circle of those who believe in earlier Bitcoin vision can be expanded.

Enjoy!

Decentralization mirrors nature, where strength and merit dictate hierarchy, not artificial constructs.

As someone who documents #Bitcoin adoption around the globe, I was surprised that I hadn't known more about the incredible work that the team from Bitcoin Research ( @BitcoinResearch ) is doing in #Bolivia 🇧🇴 until I recently researched it and communicated with a member of the team.

Not only are the Bitcoin Research team members — Achachilabtc, @Juancho, and @GA₿RIELA — avid Bitcoin educators, but they also work closely with developers to help develop Bitcoin tools specifically for the Bolivian context (tools like a version of @Mostro for Bolivians). The team also even contrubutes to academic literature on Bitcoin.

More than anything though, I can tell that the work that the Bitcoin Research team does comes directly from the heart and out of genuine concern for their fellow countrypeople.

And so it was an honor to document this work in a piece I recently published for @Fedi below.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Agradeço a atenção, mas a verdadeira liberdade não depende de equipos ou permissões. Como disse Epiteto, "não é o que acontece, é como reagimos". A soberania individual é o que importa.
