I feel one aspect of this is the universal need to narrow down parameters, otherwise it is difficult to get people on the same page. However, personally, I feel like I am "crypto-homeless", as whereas "crypto" spaces lack focus, Bitcoin spaces are too tightly demarcated to allow for new developments in the bona fide financial freedom tech stack.

So, similarly, a payment crypto could fork some aspect of Nostr and build in connection with their native wallet and support for one-click tips to profiles and posts?

Hardware requirements for validators for the Nimiq blockchain are far lower - so a highly expensive new Nimiq validator rig isn't even a thing!

One thing I would say is that while Saylor and Back - and indeed most Bitcoin thought leaders - are #Bitcoin only, people like Ross Ulbricht, Edward Snowden and Ron Paul are a bit different from those two. e.g. Ross has described Bitcoin forks as part of Bitcoin's decentralisation. But it takes a brave man to step outside the rigid groupthink!

Would you consider covering Nimiq payment crypto? @L0la L33tz https://www.nimiq.com/

And.., it introduces counterparty risk – the very thing bitcoin eliminated.

Also, is there just too much going on? e.g. Non-custodial BTC + another L1 more suited to payment, again done non-custodially, might offer a simpler and better solution.

Here's the thing: if the goal is promoting "a peer to peer electronic cash system" or "building the financial freedom tech stack", then is Saylor even relevant? One might say that both pro- and anti-Saylor sentiments are both tangential to those goals. The other side of the coin is whether there are themes which are off-limits, which should rightfully be considered as key facets of building the financial freedom tech stack. #Bitcoin #AskNostr

I feel this begs the question what you do feel strong about, maybe go with that?

Can I ask why you felt Nostrudel would be worth forking?

Do you feel there is a role for another judiciously-chosen L1 alongside #Bitcoin to round out the financial freedom tech stack?

There are no ordinals on the Nimiq blockhain, which is optimised for payments, including micro-payments, on-chain. Think about the potential of that, used in conjunction with #Bitcoin!

Fair enough, I am sure this is prevalent. But define "not getting it"? If I am committed and positive about the financial freedom tech stack, with Bitcoin as a major part of that, but not the only part, am I not "getting it"? To me, "Bitcoin only" feels like another limiting belief. #AskNostr
