I always found it interesting to see actors date each other after filming as a couple together in a movie or tv series. It really makes me think that this feeling of being in love with someone is made...

Someone seeking a romantic relationship often changes their behaviour to gain the approval of the person they desire. Many relationships are built on “liking what the other likes,” creating the appearance of compatibility rather than genuine compatibility. In that sense, romance can is a form of acting... which makes it fitting for actors to fall in love on movie sets.... there’s already pretence and they fall for it.

Interesting points. People typically get through the honeymoon period after a year. Some of these couples stay together for much longer than that. What do you think is the reason for that? You can’t act or wear a mask forever. Eventually the real you comes out.

The irony is that you call BIP-110 supporters “NPCs,” while your own reason for rejecting it was basically: "I knew it was going to fail because the majority didn’t support it."

An NPC isn’t just someone who agrees with the majority. It’s someone who doesn’t arrive at a position independently, but takes the prevailing consensus as the thing that decides what’s worth supporting.

One of the clearest signs of Bitcoin's cultural decadence was the sudden convergence among its influencers around opening Bitcoin to use cases it was never originally designed to serve.

Suddenly the same people who once preached that Bitcoin must never compromise its principles are celebrating its ability to be used for everything.

My suspicion is that Bitcoin's cultural transformation was not accidental.
As the movement grew, the people attracted to it increasingly brought with them the values Bitcoin originally opposed: convenience, consumption, status, financialization, mass approval, and the desire to make Bitcoin useful to the very values it was meant to overthrow.

Bitcoin's danger was never only that the state might capture it. It was that Bitcoin might become so successful that the values of the old, decadent world would quietly reproduce themselves inside it.

“Stay humble” is a comforting, little religion of safety that converts uncertainty, fear, and conformity into virtue.

Matthew had the courage to take a position, to risk being wrong, to fight for something he believed in, and that is infinitely more admirable than sitting comfortably on the sidelines, watching others take risks, and then congratulating yourself for being “humble” when they fail.

Hahaha, there's a difference—I don't scam anyone, and I offer my help for free and out of the goodness of my heart.
