Yikes

Why say this? Why have people who worked for bitcoin magazine put so many words in other people’s mouths?

It seems like core thinks that if Luke just goes away everything will be fine, but I don’t think people really are following Luke as much as they’re reacting to how core was moving. The nice part is that it’s much easier to smooth things over with your users than to make someone disappear

DEV WRONGTHINKS ABOUT BITCOIN

Idk I think people should be free to have bad ideas in private

As a poor startup founder I’ve been using desktop Linux and the worst part is manually updating discord every day

Sad

Ah I grew up there. The contrast is much, much more stark post covid.

A lot honestly. Biggest for me is the personal freedoms, and they’re growing over time instead of shrinking. The FSP pushes that along, but people in NH were already freedom loving before. No sales / income tax, no seatbelt / motorcycle helmet laws are like hardcoded here. Nice nature, lots of things to do. Good, outdoorsy, freedom loving people. Low concentration of busy bodies. Feel very normal doing a bit of homesteading, growing apples, raising chickens, tapping for maple syrup. Only wanted to raise my kids here.

Well if it wasn’t coinbase. You didn’t change the world with bitcoin.

I moved to NH with the free state project in 2013. That has a certain connotation to it now, because a lot of people who moved really sort of just flailed their arms around and made a performative scene. Still do. What made me come back, and stay, were the people who got in deep and changed things. A lot of freedoms here the loud ones talk about that were unlocked by the quiet ones.
