321 via Fountain 116. Decentralizing Pool Payouts: Inside GridPool with Agent P

@npub15xpxktz4j7amjdz69nrft2jg934pufk0d8klnvw8mwgq2ntf983q3p6555 (Agent P) has been at the cutting edge for a long time. He's taught me so much about mining. Grid Pool is an exciting example of how things can be done differently and offer solutions. I'm paying close attention, it's never been more valuable to participate in Bitcoin mining, it's not just about kyc free sats. It's about the revolution, the chance to be apart of unleashing freedom to the world.

The attacks on Bitcoin haven't really begun from my perspective. The best defense is offense in this case. I will continue to transact adversarially, I will spend my Bitcoin, and I will build cultural capital in my local Bitcoin community. I will avoid participating in kyc whenever I can. Decentralization limits the power of any one individual but simultaneously empowers anyone to have a real impact on the development and usage of Bitcoin.
