Somber and emotional morning in Hiroshima, Japan that unlocked the door to a very powerful conversation with my son.
The emotion, fear and gravity of a situation where we’ve always lived in a world where horrific things happen in order to divide and control people had him convinced that there was no way out….and that it would happen again. Because that must be a part of us and we wouldn’t change. We then talked about how it is happening right now in parts of the world with most people turning a blind eye or making it stronger by believing that there was a side to win inside a system that relied on manipulation, coercion and control for its survival.
As I brought up how #bitcoin is imposing the opposite system - one of truth, hope and abundance, and inscribing the best of us into a protocol that changed the system we have always known - he pushed back - not believing that “we” could or would change fast enough to avoid the worst.
I asked him: What about you? Where is your energy going? Is your fear of what others will do keeping you from realizing what you can do?
With that……he saw that we were each the change. The light in the darkness. And that no one had the power to take that from us. That every mind changed contributed to more minds changing and further understanding that we’re never going back.
Yes - the system change will be chaotic, Yes - there will be many things keeping you in a perpetual state of fear to keep you locked in.
Yes - There is a high probability that the world goes to war again.
But how can you contribute to the world you want to see?
Hope > fear
Love > hate
Freedom > control
Abundance > scarcity

I think I answered already on another thread.
I’m in ossify camp and a love what Ocean, bitcoin mechanic and all are doing. Think “some” of the name calling etc is too much as Core developers are only human. To try to understand game theory, incentives, whether quantum is a risk, etc, etc on a foundation that changes everything (as long as it stays decentralized and secure) is too much to ask any small group of people. Add to that, “if” it looked like that…..that in itself would be a risk of attack through coercion or other. In other words, the consensus mechanism is working perfectly - by trying to impose…..we know better because we’re developers…..a free market and better option emerges and people move to it through their own choices of what they deem important, which further decentralizes and de-risks the protocol. More code review and developers on knots will now follow.
We are Satoshi.
Hope that helps.

We know some things for sure: Much of the gang activity, wars, and elections in Central America was/is financed by 3 letter word agencies in the US in the name of nation building or protecting interests. That activity has created untold pain. It’s hard to even imagine how much. I ask myself, “if” someone really cared about making a change (rather than be a puppet like so many others in countries with dictators that serve those interests) it would mean going up against that power. Drastically and dramatically ripping it out. (Otherwise the public and that person would be at the same risk as always and nothing would change) ie - The narrative and story and media including psyops and false flags is all part of the current control structure (this is not a guess for me and I would not be saying it without evidenced personally at the highest level)
What the future brings is unknown, and I can’t promise that he doesn’t take power, and then turn it into further abuses. That being said, I “think” he understands the game at play here and bitcoin as a protocol removes his power by redistributing it to his population. We will see, but that’s why I went to see him.
To try to see for myself - to look deeper in the hopes I could get through the biases on both sides of a complicated transition.
And most people are measuring him through a control structure that has an insane amount of power - and not realizing that they themselves are being manipulated by it.
Hope that helps.

I’m personally in the ossify camp and like what Ocean is doing. I also don’t like some of the personal attacks. It’s hard to imagine that just because someone is a core developer that they would understand economics, incentives, quantum, etc etc so it would be a difficult position to be in. The entire process of consensus though is also showing what happens when you try to shut down debate. The free market responds and makes the protocol more resilient in doing so.

For each person who believes in this because of one sided media, another believes the exact opposite because of one sided media. Keeping us divided within a system that gets stronger by our fighting and actions within it.

Incredible trip to El Salvador to meet Bukele and see for myself what has changed since last time I was there.
I think most that follow me, know where I stand on #bitcoin. That, as long as it stays decentralized and secure (which means it must be used as a medium of exchange) it is IMPOSING the first global free market that has ever existed. A competitive, yet cooperative protocol and network that forces abundance broadly. We are both the map and territory - our actions within it, and aligned to it, strengthen and protect Bitcoin, bringing more people to it and they each, in turn grow in their own understanding - which in turn strengthens it further. We are bitcoin, we are Satoshi. Each node (us) of sovereignty adding our voice, time, energy into something that changes the course of history.
Because that map of “what will be, or “what already is” (as long as it remains decentralized and secure) has never existed before, our minds have a hard time with it. So instead, most revert to measuring #bitcoin from within the system they have always known. This leads to most of the fights within bitcoin. People far deeper down the rabbit hole, versus those just entering or choosing to remain trapped (and not being able to yet see the bigger picture)
You can imagine - that change would be chaotic because the change……is the change within each of us. All 8 billion of us, and we often can’t see our own hypocrisy, the lies we tell ourselves. Etc etc. In addition, with over 3000 years of us living in a zero sum game - where someone else had to lose for us to win. So for many, it would seem normal to play by the rules of the old game.
This is why I went to El Salvador. I went to meet the President and see for myself who he was and what choices he might make along the way. Ie - how deep was he down the rabbit hole? Did he see El Salvador and himself as part of system change to a global free market that would permeate around the world - or would he be a pawn and be captured in a game that created imperialism 3.0? It was a very deep discussion…..lasting almost 2.5 hours. I came away convinced that he gets it. Moreover, he might be the most impressive leader of a country I have ever seen. Said to me, more people in El Salvador need to be in self custody, more need to use it as a currency, not in stablecoin but natively on lightning, more in non custodial. He understands the larger forces at play here.
El Salvador is still Bitcoin country, but is still early. Having a nation with security is a big deal. 50 years of poverty, gangs, wars, fear in a society doesn’t change overnight. (All of that caused by broken money and psyops)
It takes time to rebuild trust. I was last here the day after all the gang violence (coincidentally starting after introducing Bitcoin as legal tender)
Huge changes since I was last here, not only safer, but hopeful. That hope will lead to opportunity for people, and that opportunity to value creation. The downtown core in San Salvador, previously one of the most dangerous places in Central America is feels a like a European city with thousands out walking. Cool Social houses (Video below) shops everywhere with the hustle and bustle of people and opportunities. Bitcoin isn’t yet used broadly, but making inroads. I spent in it almost everywhere - but you could tell - bitcoin transactions are fairly rare.
Lots more to do, and big plans underway. Stay tuned!!!
And a huge thanks to Max and @npub1pq2…2rew for all their work in El Salvador and in helping make this a fantastic trip.
What a time to be alive!

People that think that the only way that #bitcoin mining can survive is extra fees from inscriptions, don’t understand free markets, nor the difficulty adjustment.
If all prices fall to the marginal cost of production in a free market, and bitcoin is the first global free market that has ever existed, then block rewards are alone enough to keep a robust market for mining.
Why: because relative to Bitcoin (open, decentralized, secure, protocol, bounded by energy) the rewards are the same in 2130 as they are today because all prices are falling forever.
It’s hard to even imagine the abundance in that world or “money” that you would need because your reference frame is now and the past, but can you imagine our descendants (from that place)- ever changing back to this one.
Just a friendly reminder that creating different incentives, changes behaviour.

2025-05-03 14:39:15 UTC

In most of my talks with people who don’t yet understand #Bitcoin, I realize how powerful of fear and coercion are in a system of control.
Probably also why the proof of work in deeply understanding Bitcoin is so important….because once you understand it, the power the matrix has over you, is the energy you give it.

I do not believe so. The pace of innovation likely speeds up a lot since all of the misallocated capital, centralization and waste is removed - unleashing billions of new minds to create value for all of us.
Many people falsely believe that debt is required for the entrepreneurial process while most funding for new ideas comes from equity because new models don’t have metrics (that would allow debt) until they build value for users (ie - equity is placing a bet alongside an entrepreneur on the future value that they are creating for users and if that creates enduring revenue/profits)
