Interesting discussion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FygIZ7kHUJo

Nobody "Publicly" knows who Satoshi is, but it is almost certainly the case that their identitie(s) are known to someone in a position of power. We like to think that a lone person invented the thing that will end the current oppressive system, but it is almost certain that the system knows and has already neutralised the issue...

Trolling is such an art form, Trump is an artist!

If UBI is just a once a week or month airdrop into a wallet with no strings attached then it might be a useful safety net for the less fortunate. Unfortunately, there are far too many people in society who think that people need to be controlled and monitored constantly (and a correspondently large number of people who would accept that just for an easy life...) We can see from the way that they are pushing Net Zero and Carbon Credits etc. that they want every aspect of our lives controlled centrally with a tiny elite (parasite) class at the top of the pyramid. Given the possibility that "The Great Taking" is actually true and that even things we think we own will be taken from us in the Great Reset, the future is looking quite bleak unless we come up with a solution fast!

I agree that 95% - 99% of the market is as you describe BUT even Bitcoin has forked over time and even now is undergoing the Core vs Knots heresy! I understand the religious nature of the argument, belonging to "The One True Coin!" is very attractive but real sovereignty means having a choice between competing options. Bitcoin is the current market leader (by a long way!) but that doesn't mean that better options won't appear in the market over time - Even Satoshi would agree with that as he moved on to other projects...

You are making the assumption that Nostr = Bitcoin Only, where I suspect that it is actually Nostr = Bitcoin Majority! There are a handful of other coins that have some form of utility and store of value over time. I, for example, have a liking for Litecoin and Cardano as well as Bitcoin. (Putting all of our eggs into one basket is very dangerous! We should be very wary of the totalitarian approach to anything - Even Bitcoin!)

and now I am thinking about a time travelling Jason going to ancient Rome with his special party tricks...
