My new policy regarding all the cool things is indifference.

Things like Bitcoin, Nostr, etc.

That does not mean I won't participate. It does not mean I won't stack. I am just divesting emotionally. The simple reason is:

The odds are against you.
They were always against you.

Will they "win"?
Yea, maybe.

Will they fail?
Probably.

Most of us are at the mercy of a precious few elites who can make the tools we use everyday.

"Just fork it" they'll say. Simply to dismiss you, because deep down they know you can't do anything about it. Because they don't actually care what you think. They never did.

"Anybody can do it". This is wrong. If anybody could, they would be right now. Making an app is not a small undertaking. It requires a decent amount of knowledge to do it and do it well. While "anybody" is learning to do it. The whole ecosystem is evolving and leaving them behind.

And that's okay.

It's possible there is one of those elites who sympathizes with your plight!

It's not like there is no hope.

In the mean time:

Divest.
Spend more time outside.
Go play disc golf, or something, if you're fortunate to be able to.
