Bitcoin Ha bisogno di comunità resilienti
La minaccia della censura online è reale ed è una minaccia in continua espansione per la nostra libertà di parola e di associazione. Prima della creazione di Internet, il modo in cui la maggior parte delle persone si connetteva era attraverso la propria comunità. Luoghi come Moose Lodges, Rotary club, sale sindacali, club automobilistici, boy scout e girl scout erano i modi principali in cui le persone nella stessa comunità potevano riunirsi e organizzarsi attorno a un senso condiviso di principi e scopi.
Quei giorni sembrano bizzarri e appartengono al nostro passato molto lontano. Incontrare le persone in questo modo era la norma fino all’inizio degli anni ’1990, ovvero non molto tempo fa se ci pensi. Con la creazione di Internet, le persone hanno fatto sempre meno affidamento sui social network di persona e hanno deciso di iniziare a creare reti su Internet.
It’s not like you can blame people for adopting a new tool that makes life easier. As a child of the '90s, I remember using America Online (AOL) and the terrible 56K modem to connect to the Internet. Back then, you could literally hear your computer connecting to the Internet. If you are a millennial or older, you will know what I’m talking about. :)
Ricordo le prime chat room quando tutto ciò di cui avevi bisogno era un nome utente e una chat in cui volevi entrare. Completamente non filtrato, crudo e nuovo. Nessuno sapeva cosa ne sarebbe stato di questa tecnologia, ma sapevamo che era interessante ed entusiasmante. Nessun censore online filtrava i contenuti "che incitano all'odio" o potenti algoritmi progettati per tenerti agganciato alle chat room. Era solo uno strumento per divertirsi e connettersi.
Sebbene Internet sia stato un netto vantaggio per il mondo e la società, ha comportato alcuni inconvenienti. Ha tolto il senso di comunità che avevamo prima di Internet. Puoi guardarti intorno e vedere tutti che fissano i loro telefoni. Intorno a te non si svolgono conversazioni organiche. Tutti sono felici di vivere in una prigione digitale creata da loro stessi.
Se vuoi sapere perché tutti si sentono disconnessi gli uni dagli altri anche se viviamo nel periodo più iperconnesso della storia, Internet e gli smartphone sono alla radice del problema.
Epidemia di solitudine
Believe it or not, America is in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. Nearly 50 percent of Americans have reported experiences of loneliness. Did you know the mortality impact of loneliness is similar to smoking 15 cigarettes a day?
Within this 50 percent of Americans reporting feeling lonely are countless Bitcoiners. As early adopters of Bitcoin, it may seem like you are on an island alone with no one to talk to about Bitcoin and how it will change the world even though you are surrounded by people you know and love.
Bitcoin changes you and how you see the world to the point that it is hard to relate to pop culture or BS around the water cooler about last night's game. You realize how f’d up the world is and understand what the government is doing to the money and society at large. Talking about sports or the latest show just seems trivial now, doesn’t it?
No one outside of the Bitcoin community can really relate to this worldview. It becomes very isolating if you don’t have a friend who can vibe with you on that level.
This is why many of us look for a community online for connection. Finding people who can relate to you on Bitcoin Twitter is much easier than finding someone in your local community. Bitcoin Twitter is cool and fun to interact with people there, but it’s not the same as sitting in the same room with a fellow Bitcoiner, drinking a beer, and nerding out about Bitcoin for a couple of hours. You CAN’T replace that in real-life experience with digital.
We need that in a real-life sense of community if Bitcoin is going to succeed in the long run. Strictly being a community that only exists online makes the movement easier to control, divide, surveil, and conquer. As the dollar's value continues to hyperinflate into oblivion, the last thing the powers that be want is for strong communities of Bitcoiners banding together to show people how Bitcoin is a better money and a better monetary system to organize society.
When the government feels threatened by Bitcoin and the central bank digital currency comes to fruition, having the ability to transact locally with Bitcoiners will be incredibly important for you and your family. In addition to monetary tyranny, digital censorship will come down like a hammer on X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, etc., to control the narrative that society follows. The one thing that can’t be censored is face-to-face interactions. They can’t stop you from sharing your knowledge with others in your local communities.
Developing the social layer of Bitcoin is incredibly important and a mission that Orange Pill App has taken to heart.
Lo strato sociale è resistente alla censura
The social layer of Bitcoin è ciò che fa Bitcoin, Bitcoin, if you think about it. Without the social layer, Bitcoin is nothing but a protocol, but when you overlay the social layer on top of Bitcoin, the real power of Bitcoin is to change how we interact with the world and each other.
While centralized platforms such as X (Twitter) have gotten us this far, it is time to embrace true freedom tech to avoid the all-encompassing censorship that continues to creep into our lives. Nostr is freedom tech that I urge Bitcoiners to use instead of centralized platforms like X, but getting on the Orange Pill App is the best way to build the social layer in your local community, thus making Bitcoin ancora più forte.
The government can’t stop you from talking to your friends, family, neighbors, and strangers about Bitcoin. When you meet people in real life, friendships tend to form, new business partnerships are created, and everything improves. When things get tough, this is the social network that you can genuinely depend upon. Sign up today; it’s super simple and easy to use. You can even host your own events! You will see that you are not the lone Bitcoiner in your area and start to make friends and new connections.
Una pillola arancione al giorno allontana la solitudine!
