Any lucid dream masters out there?

I need some guidance from someone experienced.

The inherent possibility of humans using violence to steal possessions creates a fundamental incentive towards violence. This scales up to nations, where armies are used to achieve goals through war, leading to the war industry becoming the largest industry.

Emergence of Bitcoin in 2009 has started a paradigm shift in human interaction . Since Bitcoin cannot be stolen through violence, it reverses violence based incentive structure to a negitiation based one. To obtain value, negotiation and mutual exchange are required. This new incentive at the root of human interaction will scale us up to a significantly more peaceful civilization.

Play with Bitcoin.

You cannot know how it is like to play basketball just by reading about basketball and learning all the rules of the game.

Bitcoin is the unknown revealing itself to the known.

It cannot be comprehended like the familiar "things" that are known.

It defies definition.

It can only be pointed at.

It is not grasped intellectually.

It is intuited.

I am amazed by the depth and quality of the content that

"Assange may be free, but justice has not been served.

Justice would look like Assange being granted a full and unconditional pardon and receiving millions of dollars in compensation from the US government for the torment they put him through by his imprisonment in Belmarsh beginning in 2019, his de facto imprisonment in the Ecuadorian embassy beginning in 2012, and his jailing and house arrest beginning in 2010.

Justice would look like the US making concrete legal and policy changes guaranteeing that Washington could never again use its globe-spanning power and influence to destroy the life of a foreign journalist for reporting inconvenient facts about it, and issuing a formal apology to Julian Assange and his family.

Justice would look like the arrest and prosecution of the people whose war crimes Assange exposed, and the arrest and prosecution of everyone who helped ruin his life for exposing those crimes. This would include a whole host of government operatives and officials across numerous countries, and multiple US presidents.

Justice would look like a hero's welcome and a hero's honors from Australia upon his arrival, and a serious revision of Canberra's obsequious relationship with Washington.

Justice would look like formal apologies to Assange and his family from the editorial boards of all the mainstream press outlets which manufactured consent for his vicious persecution — including and especially The Guardian — and the complete destruction of the reputations of every unscrupulous presstitute who helped smear him over the years.

If these things happened, then we could perhaps argue that justice has been served to some extent. As it stands all we have is the cessation of one single act of depravity by an empire who's only backing off to make room for newer, more important depravities. We all still live under a globe-spanning power structure which has shown the entire world that it will destroy your life if you expose its criminality, and then stand back and proudly call this justice."

We have been witnessing a major techno-societal breakthrough with Bitcoin. It is similar to the invention of the printing press, which over multiple centuries led to the separation of the state and the church. The printing press revolutionized access to information, decentralizing knowledge and undermining the monopolistic control of the church.

Bitcoin is performing a similar function in the realm of finance by separating the state and money. This process is confusing and challenging for many because it is happening extremely fast, driven by technological advancements and global interconnectedness. Unlike the gradual shift that took centuries with the printing press, the separation of state and money through Bitcoin will be complete in a few decades, fundamentally transforming our economic and political landscape in an unprecedentedly short period.

Recognizing reality as more than just physical matter transforms existence into a wonder.

Julian is finally free! Today is a good day.

Please share your thoughts and/or the post.

Hello plebs!

I'd like to hear some perspectives from people I know that they care about #Bitcoin.

I do not like ordinals at all. I think they are stupid. People who push them give ne cringe.

I also believe in free market so in my current understanding, I feel like even stupid jpegs have right to compete in the free market for the block space.

I think this topic is an important topic to have an open converesation about.

Friends that are knowledgable on HW wallets!

Is it possible for a coldcard or a similar hw wallet to leak private keys to a computer when it is connected with a usb c cable?

Ps: I know you can use cold card with an sd card.

What is #Bitcoin community's common denominator?

I wonder what would be one collective real world action that almost all #Bitcoin community would support.

What would be our real world common action denominator except holding Bitcoin?

If people start reposting this and write their comments under, it would be interesting to find out which ideas would emerge as more popular.

Imagine doing that single simple action all together...

What do you think

?

I want to understand how #Bitcoin is being developed imcrementally with soft forks. Are there any resources out there?

Podcast, video, article, people, anything..

Tag the people you know sharing things other than #Bitcoin down in comments!

shares great art and

is your person for dharma/meditation/spirituality.

Go #Nostr !

#Bitcoin is a better and fair story.

I need to reach people that work on #Bitcoin, #sustainability and transition to renewables.

Who is out there?

So looking forward to this.

The way Neil Tyson presents himself in this video talking over Curt and rolling his eyes every now and then is a proof that #Consciousness is not a function of computation.

It is time again you three get together so that we can listen a delicious podcast about #Bitcoin and #Nostr

"Writing" is the technology that can teleport ideas in spacetime.

#Bitcoin is the technology thay can teleport energy in spacetime.

Love how #Bitcoin and #Nostr gets stronger whenever a stupid thing is done on the other system 🤣

Thanks #Twitter

French #Bitcoin ers ! Where can we follow what's actually going on in #France ?

#frenchriots

Do you know anybody out there with decent understanding of #Bitcoin and still criticizes it?

I'd be curious to hear smart counter arguments.

Genius #Hayek predicts #Bitcoin in 90s.

Through inflation they both steal your savings and devalue your labour/work/life at the same time. And they keep doing this continuously over years and years. But the later is far more evil than the stealing savings because it is cumulative! This is an order of magnitude more evil...

That's why things are getting more expensive rather than getting cheaper although productivity increases exponentially.

, I think got it! Have I ?😊

#Bitcoin

I have a dear friend who holds a Phd in Economics. The skills she listed on linkedin are Quantitative research, Climate Change, Applied Econometrics, Economics and Labour Economics. I know she is successful in her domain and works as a researcher in a European institue.

Today I asked her if she read Austrian Economics or interested in it and she said no.

It must be earlier than we think. So exciting!

#Bitcoin

Given that euro/usd pair stayed more or less about the same since 2020, does this mean that Euro printed is (compared to Euros in circulation) more or less same as USD printes?

Can you tag people who can potentially answer this?

Robert von Ranke Graves on #Bitcoin by #Chatgpt

"Beneath the veil of digital code, In realms beyond the state's control, Transcending borders, it has flowed, Empowering all who play a role. No longer must we pay the toll."

Freud on #Bitcoin by #chatgpt

" It's difficult to say exactly what #Freud would have thought about Bitcoin, as he lived in a different time period and cultural context, and his primary focus was on the field of #psychology rather than economics or technology. However, based on some Freud believed that the human psyche is driven by unconscious desires and conflicts, and that much of our behavior is motivated by the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. From this perspective, Bitcoin could be seen as a manifestation of our collective desire for financial security, #independence, and the ability to speculate and profit from market fluctuations. On the other hand, it could also be viewed as a potentially #risky or #addictive behavior, driven by the excitement and thrill of high-stakes #gambling."

Adolf Hitler on #Bitcoin by #Chatgpt

"#Hitler was known for his extreme #nationalism, #authoritarianism, and opposition to liberal democracy and capitalism. He believed in a #centralized government with strict control over the economy and society. He also promoted the idea of a pure Aryan race, and sought to exclude or eliminate those he deemed inferior.

Given these beliefs, it is likely that Hitler would have been opposed to the idea of a #decentralized, global currency such as Bitcoin. He may have viewed it as a threat to state control and a tool for facilitating illegal activities. He may also have opposed the idea of a currency that was not tied to a physical asset or backed by a government.

However, it is important to note that any speculation on Hitler's thoughts on Bitcoin are purely hypothetical and should not be taken as fact. It is also important to remember the atrocities committed by Hitler and the Nazi regime, and to not lend credence to their ideologies in any way."

Bruce Lee on #Bitcoin    by #ChatGPT

"Just as a building needs a strong foundation to stand the test of time, the new digital economy will be built on the foundation of Bitcoin. Embrace the potential of this revolutionary technology, be like water, and flow with the changing tides of the future." #BeLikeWater #BruceLee #Future #AI

Nelson Mandela on #Bitcoin    by #ChatGPT

"His values and beliefs suggest that he might have seen the potential benefits of such a system in promoting economic #freedom and #equality, especially for marginalized people. #Mandela was a strong advocate for social justice and economic empowerment and believed in using technology to advance these goals. He also believed in individual agency and #creativity, which align with the #decentralized nature of Bitcoin. Overall, while we can't be certain, Mandela may have supported Bitcoin's potential to create a more just and equitable world."

Ayrılık Üzerine

Gün batarken hangi anda geceye dönüşür gündüz? Sonra hangi anda geceden gündüze geçer tekrar?

Bulut, mesela, nerede başlar nerede biter? Bulutun tam bittiği ve gökyüzünün tekrar başladığı noktalar mı vardır gökyüzünde?

31 Mayıs akşamı mı ilk bahar yaz olur?

Dans ederken çok aşka gelip kendinden geçilse…. Dans eden ile müzik nerede ayrılır birbirinden?

Bebekle anneyi bağlayan kordon kesilmeden önce gerçekten bir bebek ve bir anne var mıdır ayrı ayrı? Anne nerede biter, bebek nerede başlar? Kordon kesildikten sonra peki, hemen 10 saniye sonra… Anne ve bebek ayrı mıdır?

Sevgiliyle ne zaman ayrılmış olur insan? Yollar ayrıldıktan sonra mı? Yoksa gönül ayrıldıktan sonra mı? Gönlün artık tam olarak ayrıldığı bir an var mıdır? Öyle ki, o andan sonra eski sevgilinin içinde bulunduğu hiçbir düşünce geçmiyor artık zihinden..iyisiyle, kötüsüyle?

Hello #nostr world.

Anybody here interested in and enjoys thinking&talking about idealist vs materialist metaphysics, nature of reality, nonduality, etc..?

#metaphysics #idealism #materialism #natureofreality

Good morning good people of #Nostr and #Bitcoin 🌻

It will be a good day.

Why it is so hard to comprehend #Bitcoin?

This is challenging because our minds are conditioned to comprehend things as separate concepts, and then we can do the same thing with the combination of separate concepts to understand complex concepts. This is how our brains evolved, dividing the totality into smaller things and understanding them piece by piece, then combining them to understand the totality.

However, #Bitcoin is not a single, unchanging "thing". It is challenging to encapsulate the meaning of all the separate things that Bitcoin can do and cause into just one "thing" and conceptualize it. Our conceptual understanding is tied to language, which has been evolving based on the assumption that reality can be divided into static or unchanging things. Therefore, our brains cannot conceptualize a "thing" that is perfect money, defender of freedom, speculative asset, trigger of unprecedented change, protector of the "weak," and many more things all at the same time.

Looking back, I argue that there may not have been a specific time when you understood Bitcoin fully? Breakthrough moments may have occurred , but without previous small steps, that breakthrough would not have been possible.

So, what is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is not a concrete object or combination of separate concepts, but rather an indivisible process that encompasses a vast range of use cases and has sparked a social and cultural revolution that will continue to unfold. Then who is #Satoshi? Satoshi embodies the contributions of Ayn Rand, Julian Assange, Nick Szabo, and Adam Beck, among other #cypherpunks, and cannot be separated into distinct individuals. The anonymous creator(s) of Bitcoin of course had the humility to vanish after the final stroke of genius that led to the breakthrough in 2009.

I think we should be aware of the fact that sharing and reading this on a censorship-free and permissionless platform built on the Bitcoin network cannot be separated from Bitcoin either.

What a time to be alive!

@JeffBooth ,thanks for being an inspiration for me to start writing about my love of Bitcoin.

Reflections on #Bitcoin :

There are different gateways to enter the #Bitcoin rabbit hole. My main vehicle was greed, which ultimately led me on a journey to understand the true nature of money and wealth and how the world works.

Just for completeness, here are a few more vehicles I can think of: state censorship, like in the case of Wikileaks, or being unbanked, like in the case of Africa, or collaps of a local currency... These challenges can also lead to a journey of understanding the power dynamics of money and everything else. I think the reason all these different doors (and more) open to Bitcoin is the fact that it is "true" like very few things that human civilization has built so far.

Now, back to "greed" as a vehicle... Getting rich quick is a very powerful idea, but it can also be a distraction from the deeper meaning of Bitcoin. As I continued on my journey, I began to realize that Bitcoin was not just about making money, but about creating a more just and equitable world. I think there is a very interesting analogy here between the Bitcoin journey and a spiritual journey. At some point, the seeker needs to realize that it is not just about becoming a better "person"...

The glimpse of the fact that Bitcoin was not just about making more money led me to question my own motivations for stacking sats. Was I doing it out of fear and greed, or was I truly aligned with the values of Bitcoin? I began to see that my journey with Bitcoin was not just about accumulating wealth, but about becoming a better person and contributing to a more positive future. What an opportunity!

All my savings are in Bitcoin, but fear has lessened over time... I should note that as an engineer, I know that even if Bitcoin goes to zero, I will still be financially better off than a vast majority of people. Interestingly, I feel like I would not regret one second if Bitcoin went to zero tomorrow. I would feel sad, but I would not regret it. Bitcoin has given me the opportunity to do good for people I do not know at all, and this helps me expand my sense of self . What an opportunity!

If you are also coming from the greed path and need some guidance, here is #nickszabo telling #Bitcoin story...Ideas before that led to it and failed attempts before it.

Let`s keep dreaming!
