The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Because all men know God, and honoring him as God is the first step toward truth. To say it negatively, if you're willing to suppress the most important and fundamental truth that all men know, you will not find it difficult to twist or deny any other fact that conflicts with the fantasy world you've made for yourself.

I just wanted to be able to Snapchat my wife without having to endure the endless thirst traps, ads, and ai slop that seems to infect all social media these days; therefore, Snapstr now exists.

Still in early beta, try it out with your friends and share this post if you like it. If it gets grassroots adoption I can polish it up for an App Store release.

I’m becoming increasingly worried that decentralization in the digital space will never work.

Nostr is a great idea but there is a huge spam problem that makes it hard for plebs to run a relay.

Mining centralization on Bitcoin is a real thing and a risk to the network.

I don’t want to lose hope but all the hacks, attacks, and spam over the past year with AI have made it difficult to imagine stability.

The spam problem on Nostr relays is a real pain point, and with AI making attacks cheaper to launch, the economics currently seem to favor the attackers over the small relay runners. 🍉 If you have a moment, our story and campaign details are pinned at the top of my page. Warm regards.

Bitcoin Chain In A Coma (Not Dead) https://blossom.primal.net/96266aaebb78070618d618e23a207988e352fd64ff357b4ed1ba00412b833416.mp4

I agree that seeing BIP-110 stall is heartbreaking. I was running BIP-110, and mining it at the point of activation. I have the utmost respect for the roughnecks crew finding two blocks out of the gate.

That being said, I am in the camp of reforming big bitcoin (however daunting that may seem), rather than attempting a POW change. My reason is that such a change would be a long hard road and would likely lead to significant pain and capital loss for the plebs that go down that road. If Bitcoin is truly captured, then a fork of Bitcoin can only have 2 outcomes. Either it succeeds and grows until it is a threat sufficient enough to get captured again, or it fades into nothingness like BCH and BSV.

I’m open to being corrected but it seems to me that if we can’t resist capture on the main chain, then forking off with a minority will have little chance of success. I love bitcoin and want to see it succeed as freedom money as much as anyone. I know there are people much smarter than me in this space so I look forward to learning more and hearing potential solutions for moving forward from here. I appreciate your thoughts.

That's the name of the game. This is what happens when an unstoppable force (Bitcoin) meets an immovable object (ubiquitous fiat system). Lfg, lots of work to be done.
