Whether we use fiat or bitcoin, I feel like we always end up fattening the exact same corporate mastodons. <br/>Let’s look at the reality of the whole chain:<br/><br/>• On the mining side: The myth of the average user finding a block at home is gone. It&#39;s all massive industrial data centers raking it in.<br/><br/>• On the Lightning side: It’s the same story. Liquidity giants, already loaded from the start, dominate the major routing nodes with sometimes abusive fees. Since they own the main highways, everything goes through them: we’re getting vampirized.<br/><br/>• On the State and tax side: And that’s not even counting the law. In France, for example, the slightest purchase in Bitcoin (even without going back to fiat) is theoretically subject to capital gains tax as soon as you exceed €305 in annual spending, with a 30% hit. The tax trap closes on us either way.<br/><br/><br/>In short, we decentralized the protocol, but we just recreated ogres and recentralized capital.<br/>So... what do we do? Is there even a way out?<br/>Honestly, I don’t have a miracle solution. I just feel like we&#39;re going in circles: between mega-hubs stuffing themselves at the network&#39;s expense and the State watching our every cent, the math just doesn&#39;t add up.<br/><br/>Deep down, it’s hard not to be pissed off at this endless greed. When you see ultra-rich people always wanting more, while their descendants for the next 100 years couldn&#39;t possibly spend it all even living better than 70% of the planet, you wonder what the point is. It feels like we&#39;re just fuel for a machine that stacks up capital for profiteers.<br/><br/>How do you guys analyze this situation? Do you manage to not feel trapped, or is this just the common fate for everyone?<br/><br/>#Bitcoin #Sovereignty #Capitalism<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f39b30764f5307514a0d8b8b071bc923733729e8aa921a8a29888f145998361c.jpg"> 2026-10-27T12:33:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgke9tltcsel7smzyeqkxwvm8vpcsq3jka765rnzjsewmplcufv7gzyqsqskfzhzn4ghfvanq6jep7qt0uc6jqgypd28j7k3fsm7c3jmd35q0xnc2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfdmv42qxgke7n8jecsa63ypgx9lx2cz3qvqz9ulvsj0jrz65l30clwuafx'>nevent1q…uafx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thank you 😊 2026-10-24T12:26:32Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs87k8wgysx8akq7a3s6gvmkc2mttljx2zl4kxvsvpfu4le34zhf4gzyqsqskfzhzn4ghfvanq6jep7qt0uc6jqgypd28j7k3fsm7c3jmd35jm7mh9 Sometimes, picking up the brushes is just a matter of nostalgia and a desire to give a lovely handmade gift to a child 💛<br/><br/>#artstr #watercolor #art<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/a83dbe084ce02e072b8c2ff99596d4ad045daf0d122bc455636edd7dd98d0c51.jpg"> 2026-10-23T19:05:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2n0ke6497gg3e4l7ar0vxa2de6fjtd8r97jhl0l7kep63d9fmsaczyqsqskfzhzn4ghfvanq6jep7qt0uc6jqgypd28j7k3fsm7c3jmd356p7j5c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgmssc42t8eq5p4hyxpsazt24ux9xq2v26877rpumyje7uje2ndvsupysap'>nevent1q…ysap</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This sticker is so cool!

By removing color theory from the process, I was able to get a feel for how water behaves and to explore each individual pigment in my palette.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/3e6ca15e623b343372e473e76574e4100eb2b2b6bd91eaeb794761864dc74475.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/91df75a3cbb966e225fb7b9eb01e670b3bda8790963338eba9975fc8dcdeb68a.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/8c2d69e17db33f4673c0ef127a1fa3fd285bb3974d671d1a2845d713d4c834ae.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/2e98c77b9b1cc31e04e253b6a419bbd0d1431cec97a7dabc72c855bdbace1b9c.jpg"> 2026-10-21T20:44:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswn9zt4n7qlcz935hguwl028aaj9j3czsqltvzj2gjf0yrsch7t6czyqsqskfzhzn4ghfvanq6jep7qt0uc6jqgypd28j7k3fsm7c3jmd350ljrwp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrwgyztfcjeh6eesyadl5qrjpp3pnuutn0feg8mp5jtdv8s0h36rcy9h002'>nevent1q…h002</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thank you so much!
