Boycott Bitcoin Magazine & Their Shitcoin Conference

That's interesting but I would probably assume my neighbours are a bunch of commies. I do live in Canada after all.

Ah cool, I guess that makes me the oldest actual user! Do I get a special hat for this?

In the depths of the fiat mines, it's easy to get used to your own skillsets, knowledge, assumptions, and experience.

I know that I can forget sometimes that what comes intuitively to me is completely foreign to someone else. I can take my own skills for granted. 

But there are certain moments where I'm reminded of the value from my own unique perspective.

While helping out with my friend's startup, I would consistently get asked questions that seemed utterly basic to me. He was quite far along in getting things going -- seems like he knows what he's doing -- why does he want my help??

Oh, of course, I've spent years accumulating this information, so passively that I forget it's not simply common knowledge. Damn, I can probably make a lot of money doing this!!

I know talking about Bitcoin can feel a similar way sometimes. There's so much about Bitcoin that we understand as basic reality that's completely foreign to others. The disconnect between bitcoiners and "normies" that arises when trying to orange pill them I think stems in part from this fact; that we assume normies have more baseline understanding of certain concepts than they actually do.

The flip side of this is that you can leverage that gap in knowledge to your advantage. Channel it healthily towards work, your own business, side projects, or whatever instead of frustration that others "just don't understand."

That's why politics is so toxic.

Have you had a similar experience? When was your eureka moment where you realized your "basic" skills were much more valuable than you thought?

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) Phishing

We all hate antagonistic experiences, like Mortal Combat combos of pop-ups, flashing banner ads, and abusive javascript practices. What's worse are antagonistic experiences that promise to make it all go away if victims pay a fixed amount. The term for this is *extortion*—the *protection racket* kind. This is the state of play. Ok, maybe that's way too dramatic. But In my opinion, this behavior is acceptable when there's etiquette and not coercion, just ask, if you're providing value most will say yes, you know what I mean?

We don't know all the innovation a lightning model will bring to advertising, but I feel it fits perfectly into the coming techno-cultural change, where you have Ai supercharging FOSS, decentralized hard money, and this sort of deflationary bare metal essence. 🤷‍♂️
