26 sats \ 1 reply \ @jaspervanderee 24 Sep \ on: A perspective on bitcoin governance bitcoin
The ideas are right, but the framing can tempt people back into thinking Bitcoin needs formalized governance structures. It doesn’t. It just needs individuals running nodes and enforcing rules.
We learn responsibility by doing, not by being protected from every mistake. To reject it is to double down on a control system that’s already failing. The choice really is in our hands.
Even if you would tax all the companies in the country for the full 100%, it wouldn’t solve the debt. It’s all theatre.
Just added some nuance to Muun and Lightspark on their pro/con features and their company description:
Muun
"However, some note that Muun doesn't support Lightning addresses and that Lightning transactions may route via on-chain swaps. This means unpredictable fees, especially when onchain activity rises."
Lightspark
"These tools have already seen traction with big regulated partners and typically involves KYC via the partner."
When you measure Bitcoin in dollar terms, you’re still anchoring yourself in the old system—the very system that is designed to debase over time.
We're abundant creating machines, it's in our DNA. Throughout history we've always created abundance from scarce resources. You can see this in every major breakthrough:
- Agriculture turned the scarcity of wild food into the abundance of farming.
- Electricity turned the scarcity of human/animal labor into abundant energy on demand.
- The Internet turned the scarcity of information into abundant, nearly free access to knowledge.
So my argument would be the opposite: we're programmed for a world of abundance.
I see what you mean, although they seem to focus on non-KYC and services outside of Bitcoin, whereas i focus on more on beginners and Bitcoin-only. I've bookmarked the site though.

There is: https://buoybitcoin.com
Let me know what you think :)
Working on Buoy, a Bitcoin-only service comparison tool. But not only working on the product, also on the business so i'm updating my email list atm.
Exactly, that's why I try to say to friends and family that inevitably they will start to use Bitcoin, just like they did with the internet years ago. It helps to reframe it from a "speculative" hype to a new foundational layer of technology.
I made a note of your suggestions @anon. Thanks for the feedback!
I just added a visual cue to tapping a circle in the upper right corner of each card Scoresby. Every other circle will ripple once and the compare button will pulse to hopefully nudge users to click another circle :)
You mean compare all the wallets at the same time? I'm open to suggestions but I don't think it will work because of limited space on mobile where most users will use the site. On desktop you can compare up to 3 services.
Ah i see what you mean now, so you can keep comparing Strike to other services. It's not a bad idea. I will make a note of it and see have a look how to implement it. Thanks!
