I guess i could go back to a keyboard from zapstore
But i find them over customizable and I end up over complicating and cluttering the keys π π
When I'm constructing a post, I write it out in standard notes app and paste it in
Mastercard have just released a one minute video on X spewing out a who's who of kriptoh partners π³
Didn't see many names i recognise apart from transak which are an onramp and obviously all the SCs
Could see Xcash being masterminded by Mastercard Visa?
Would make sense?
Centralised established old guard mixed with enough new hype to produce a marketing ad campaign

So Zuck will add these agentic agents into WhatsApp, the normies will have no idea what's going on under the hood, they'll have the normies scroll an unreadable t&c blurb they ignore and agree to just like all the others
The agentic agents will glean all the data and report back to Meta, the normies get a cool agent to schedule messages, the Meta get the data
Wait!, why didn't Zuck rebrand it to Metadata π€£π€£π€£
I heard that Lloyds of London had refused to insure the ships, but ol' trumpy has insured them himself π¬
Whether that's all bluster i dont know
Haha π π€£ ok my level then π€£
Bitcoiners really impress me with their knowledge
This catch by Lopp is a great example of why deep technical literacy matters
Running nodes, reviewing code and obsessively checking of the blocks creates high levels of passion, which leads to heated arguments where everyone is bitching at each other π€£π€£ more so on X, here on SN is highly knowledgeable and passionate but there is an etiquette of good conduct.....most of the time!
When everyone involved cares so much about getting it right, it's only natural for ego's to get bruised and that's only right because you're making sure that the real money finds it's right course
When these bitch offs happen they generally lead to a better outcome (not always) but the community has an amazing ability to self correct itself
Like the hive mind of the borg, when everyone knows everything, the urge to be recognized individually must be too tempting to resist
Happy 20 millionth Bitcoin day, whenever it is! I guess i should go and find out now π€¦
Thank you Siggy!
As part of my journey into Bitcoin I have just discovered who Mircea Popescu was!!
What a π π³
The thing that amazes me was these people's (friedcat included) ability to see Bitcoin before everyone
A bookmark if there ever was one π
The problem is 99% of people are totally asleep π΄ and they'd get swept along into a cbdc system without realising it
Someone like Darth gets upset because the 1% that are awake are not as awake as he'd like
But the 99% are cooked and that doesn't look good for us π’
Unless you can come up with some positive points π
If you correlate Bitcoin with social media
The Meta's the Tiktok's are Binance and Coinbase...totally centralised bs
The real Bitcoin, self custody, privacy, lightning et al.....that's not easy and it's like Nostr, key management , Relay management, wallet hosting, and Other stuff
That isn't easy and it never will be, so I guess that bores out the abysmal take up rate of normies using it
If you want to create or build a tool, or suite of products that make everything super easy for the end user
Unfortunately you HAVE to compromise on sovereignty, that's why we are seeing all this ark spark bs popping up everywhere, because they are catering for the lazy
It's unfair to complain that the builders are not building it easy
