I've avoided commenting on the controversy and or taking sides, as I lack the technical depth to fully understand the implications either way. So I'm left with the trusting not verifying dilemma, while I continue to obtain relevant information. What I can discern are the ad hominems. There are plenty from both sides. These show emotional outbursts not relevant arguments, so both should be ignored. Heros die: Being a veteran of civil war 1 (big blocks) I've become split on the opinions from those whom I followed into battle previously. For and against each have significantly inflencial and knowledgeable people that stood for what I "believed" in. If those same people conflict with my values, I'm less willing to "believe" them now. Yet my beliefs have limited relevance to the technical facts. Can both sides be correct? Like the Abortion debate: As with this highly divisive and deeply personal topic both sides have entrenched personal beliefs and there are reasonable arguments to support each position. Yet there is only 1 truth. What is the TRUTH in the OP_RETURN controversy? Will either side ever concede? Is it resolvable? I don't know how this will resolve but it would seem that personal responsibility plays a big roll. Educate one's self to the best of our ability then align this information with our beliefs, being cognizant of the propaganda, AI and algos that fill the debate with useless noise. For the sake of everything (I believe) Bitcoin represents, I pray the truth will come to light for the majority (consensus) and it does so before the non-truth faction potentially co-opts or ultimately destroys the greatest discovery of modern man - Honest, decentralized, secure, censorship resistant MONEY. nostr:naddr1qq0xx6t5wfjkzttpdejz6argv5kk7uzlwfjhgatjdckh2mnrv9cqz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsygxyn4f22uekv7ftnfhys52c0s5qgtajf7jkyhrdv7uvjhy82xk2z5psgqqqw4rsxgkypj

Live music should not be owned by a conglomerate. Live Nation's vertical integration, kills live music on the one hand and then exploits artists and their fans with the other. This company should be broken into pieces, forced to compete fairly and face the strictest anti-trust penalties possible. A fine is a slap on the wrist. Break up this live music cabal. 📝 ec022311…

Hey musicians... show a little more respect for your audience. Yeah it's cool to be in the same clothes you wore on your Uber Eats gig, but you're a performer. Get some class, it'll make a difference. before/after

Making way to #Nostriga npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l for Aug 21st and 22nd + LFG! Driving from Germany (Berlin) to Riga with plans to explore Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia before shoving off to Canada. Loving Eastern Europe! This video (attached below, sorry for using YT 😬) is a short clip shot as we walked along the last remaining intact segments of the Berlin Wall. For a guy of my vintage, I remember vividly the event which ended the cold war. Did we learn any lessons since Nov, 1989...? I guess it depends on one's perspectives. In this video I offer mine. Shout out to the beautiful (9 month, strict carnivore) Mrs Hodl. She is feeling and looking amazing, walk the talk they say. If you're interested in her experience, give a follow and DM or post. npub1jlt6hd8mgc7wfwfs0qs49py6veupp8lrwnz0plwzyfk3az52k3aqga0wgc Sharing experiences, warts and all is what we are about. The thing is... there ain't no flies on this bird 🥰 https://youtu.be/fieBVU_404A
