Mikovski_M on Nostr: #[0]
quoting nevent1q…fnk9People and evil institutions desperate to infiltrate Bitcoin and anything that could grow into a threat will throw money at projects both to try to control their development, curry favor with “The Community” and insert their tentacles to monitor, distort, distract and execute their wicked agenda.
Nostr is now on the list of “Threat Apps” and so is to be cursed with a poison “donation” in an attempt to gain some sort of control and influence over its development. The control will appear at first as private appeals for moderation, back doors, not allowing it to be used in enemy countries and other insidious things. If a Foundation is ever formed, the corruptors will want a seat on the board; and why shouldn’t they ask for it? They paid for it didn’t they?
Of course any developer who has sense will be able to take money that is given to zer and refuse corruption of any kind. Real people like that cannot be corruptied and are unlikely to be corrupted if they’re working on “decentralized, censorship-resistant, open-source, Lightning-native protocol allowing for an unstoppable global social network”. I trust that this is the case.
The whole point of this is that infiltrators who are eager to distort, corrupt and destroy are out there. You know the sort; they analogise that Bitcoin “is a weapon” that it is an asset that needs regulation, and rules of the road drafted by geriatric numbskulls and every other nasty, reprehensible anti-American thing. And “Ordinals”.
All it takes however is a real man, like Phillip Zimmerman (the author of PGP) to release something that changes the world forever in a way that is irrevocable. Going forward, all the stomach churning whining see aye ay agents can do is keep trying to infiltrate, as on all fronts Bitcoin and privacy tools spread like wildfire.
The multipolar world is coming where these fantastically stupid and unethical people have literally no place. The best they can come up with is to give money to their enemies. How creative! It won’t work, numbskulls; the problem is too big as is the number of people working on the solution in parallel and in concert. Your world is ending, and there is nothing you can do about it but to join in and be free on the new terms like everyone else.
