I am still alive. I know you were all very worried.

Hello. I hope you are all doing well.

I can't remember where I read or heard this, but it was about leftism (or progressivism, they are the same thing). Basically leftists can make changes incrementally, which is why they've won all throughout history.

But it was also about how leftism is corosive and every iteration of it, things get more and more fucked up. And nothing is immune from its corruption. Not even itself.

So if their is leftism in Bitcoin, bitcoin will be corrupted eventually. In nostr? corrupted.

On the brightside, because it also destroys itself over time eventually it will implode.

I'll have to go hunt it down.

If you really want to stick it to them. If you REALLY feel that strongly. Stop using all of it. Make it so it's pointless to bother building anything for all this crap.

(this is not going to happen)

My new policy regarding all the cool things is indifference.

Things like Bitcoin, Nostr, etc.

That does not mean I won't participate. It does not mean I won't stack. I am just divesting emotionally. The simple reason is:

The odds are against you.
They were always against you.

Will they "win"?
Yea, maybe.

Will they fail?
Probably.

Most of us are at the mercy of a precious few elites who can make the tools we use everyday.

"Just fork it" they'll say. Simply to dismiss you, because deep down they know you can't do anything about it. Because they don't actually care what you think. They never did.

"Anybody can do it". This is wrong. If anybody could, they would be right now. Making an app is not a small undertaking. It requires a decent amount of knowledge to do it and do it well. While "anybody" is learning to do it. The whole ecosystem is evolving and leaving them behind.

And that's okay.

It's possible there is one of those elites who sympathizes with your plight!

It's not like there is no hope.

In the mean time:

Divest.
Spend more time outside.
Go play disc golf, or something, if you're fortunate to be able to.

Client Recommendations, go:

I have used (or am using):

Primal
Amethyst
Gossip
Snort

I am starting to get ready to move on from Amethyst. There are a lot of irritating bugs. I wish there were more options on Andriod.
