Running one's own #bitcoin node for the sake of not relying on someone else's computer doesn't seem to be enough incentive for normies to give up 1Tb storage and leave a computer running indefinitely.
Eventually, people will accept bitcoin only because they know someone who wants it and that they can redeem the social contract that bitcoin represents (as money); not because they are sold on the whole cypherpunk philosophy.
I might not trust a single person's computer; but it's hard to doubt the whole network one's connected to.
So, am I missing something, or will our ever-growing chain, coupled with general public's unwillingness to run their own node, slowly lead us to node centralization? Will the cypherpunks always carry the burden of running the majority of the nodes to prevent it from being attacked?
I bet @npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc or @npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev have something written or read-over it. Could you share?

Há ainda uma percepção da maioria das pessoas que algo "ilegal" é inerentemente errado, e que algo "legal" é algo inerentemente certo. A própria crítica usando a terminologia "criminoso" carrega essa pressuposição consigo.
Isso fazia sentido quando o senso comum ainda fazia parte do imaginário popular. Roubar, matar e destruir eram consideradas coisas moralmente erradas e foram transformadas em leis para termos uma estrutura de incentivos que refletem esses valores.
Conforme as elites vão se corrompendo, as leis vão sendo alteradas para chamar o inconveniente de criminoso. E tornar todo tipo de abominação, gradualmente, em algo legal do ponto de vista jurídico.
Então pontuo a cautela que devemos ter na hora de usar a terminologia "ilegal" como algo necessariamente ruim. A palavra não é mais um reflexo do moralmente incorreto; mas uma reafirmação do poder de quem decide o que é ou não legal.

This is my third time doing the "#Keto Diet". From time to time I do it to lose some weight and clean up my system. It works pretty well and I've been feeling great. Except that this time I got an inflammation on my skin that only now I'm finding that is somewhat common.
It's known as Keto #Rash and it itches like hell. Some will say is vitamin deficiency and I heard that it can also be normal skin fungus that get's out of control when there's no sugar on your blood.
Anyway, I'm ingesting some vitamin supplements, will stay away from heat, sweat and sun and maybe spread some anti-fungus unguent. Let's hope that works, I'm still 2 weeks away from my keto-diet goal.

the “big happy family” became an ironic way of referring to a group with internal animosities. It’s good to remember that having a big happy family is a legitimate life goal and something you don’t get for free. Nourishing relationships with the people around you may be harder than you think but it pays off over time.

I've been thinking about an app idea for a few days. When I pitched it to my wife during a family trip she actually liked it.
Now that I'm in front of my computer, I feel kind of scared of starting the new project. Should I pick a language I'm most familiar? Should I try something new to challenge myself? Will it worth my time? Will I be able to deliver it? Will people use it?
What about its name? Should I pick a logo? By a domain? How small should I make it to actually validate my idea before trashing the whole thing?

"Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't" is the ninth rule from Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life, and I feel like I'm finally understanding a bit of what that means.
To have truly meaningful conversations is something I can only experience when I'm not just waiting for my turn to speak; the same way Tyler Durden pointed out about the help groups in Fight Club.
When someone is speaking, listen. They have a bunch to teach you.
