How do you know you aren't following wannabe spammers. They could be posting a couple of witty Satoshi quotes to gain everyone's trust while behind the scenes scripting 10,000's of npubs, some of which they follow to endow them with that transitive point score.

You wished we could artificially interrupt that cycle? Well it wasn't easily but we certainly achieved it with decades of fossil fuel burning all over the whole world.
It would have been easier with CFCs btw which are orders of magnitude more potent greenhouse gases than CO2. If we ever wanted to interrupt the cycle again on purpose for whatever bizarre reason then that'd be the way to go.

This is of interest to me. The "keypair as identity" aspect of blockchains has use cases outside of blockchains. Nostr obviously one, but e.g. passkeys and that whole Yubikey/FIDO2 thing are becoming relevant in the real world.
But things are too proprietary. I'm looking at SoloKey and NitroKey. Want to build my own FIDO2/PKCS11 device with some extras like some sort of UI via a small display and buttons.

Seems more like badges or trophies than a currency. The value of a currency is literally tied to the amount in circulation. A currency that doesn't circulate is like a library you're never allowed to take a book off the shelf from.
The way you describe it, holding a stash of Bitcoin is some sort of merit badge or badge of honor. It identifies you as holding some set of beliefs the way a cross on a chain around the neck or a kippah on the head identifies you as holding some set or beliefs.
Of course you wouldn't sell your badge or trophy the same way you wouldn't sell the family bible or that trophy you won in a high school hockey tournament.
That's why you have to hang out on "Bitcoin Twitter" as the dude in the video says, it's the congregation where the set of beliefs is agreed on.
In that case I have some questions.
(a) Why such an expensive badge. A cross on a chain around the neck can literally cost $10 even made from silver, but still identify you as a Christian. The "gold medals" from the Olympics aren't expensive to manufacture either. It's your actions that make you deserving to display one.
(b) Why all the talk about currency and how it will replace the US dollar. It will clearly never do that if it gets squirreled away like a set of rare postage stamps. If Bitcoin represents other beliefs then why not promote those.
(c) The currency problem still remains unsolved. Bitcoiners, that's one of their beliefs, want a degree of decentralization and independence from governments, monetary independence most of all. If Bitcoin itself doesn't do that and is just a symbol for the desire to wean oneself from central banks, then what steps are you actually in undertaking to achieve that. Because if you don't undertake any steps you're just dreamers the way Jehovah's Witnesses dream of the apocalypse that never materializes.

"Never selling" is literally the definition of its value being zero. It can only have value if it's offered for sale on the market.
You know how the price of something is a function of supply and demand? There has to be supply. No one selling means no supply. No supply, no price.

If you have skills, you can always earn more.
Mind you, the devaluation is a bit of a problem. We want to be able to save long-term, including retirement.
The best option right now is a stock portfolio, very few people keep cash around.
But the current "cost of living" of crisis is not about that, it's about current earnings not going up as fast as current expenses.
But then you're just on the wrong side of the equation. If you're spending more someone else is earning more because the money doesn't go away ya know?
