I don’t want to disagree with @npub12rv…85vg here but I just want to mention that people should be cautious loading their nsec into a bunch of clients.
“The first step is to securely generate the keypair offline, not through web clients. Generating the key offline ensures that it does not get leaked, lost or stored online. Although web clients must not store your private keys remotely, this can never be guaranteed. A malicious web client can steal your private keys. Also, security vulnerabilities in web clients can leak your private keys if you have inputted it directly into the web client.”

This is workable, especially because the value of the asset being borrowed against would need to be valued correctly based on the lender’s underwriting. That’s a fairer and more actionable method than some assessor’s “opinion of value” which can be arrived at different ways and to varying degrees.
Just want to point out that the 1% is not who this should be aimed at. It’s the 0.1% and the 0.01% who mostly using these strategies. Put another way, it’s not something your average millionaire is doing. It’s the centi-millionaires and billionaires.
To put a fine point on it, we want *more* millionaires. I’ll take a thousand millionaires over 1 billionaire any day. Your average millionaire is someone who has built or runs a successful small business with 10-100 employees. We want a tax structure that incentivizes more of these. It’s better for both the employer and the employee… and the customer, actually.

The best way is to not try to take it all in at once — as if that were even possible.
In order to understand Bitcoin as digital money, it helps to first understand what money is, that’s a question that is best answered by understanding philosophy (what makes something “money”?) and history (what has been used as money prior to it being digital?). Answering these questions, alone, can take up a lot of time and are very helpful. Some people are more interested in what makes digital money *secure* and thus study bitcoin from a cryptography perspective. However, security isn’t just about the code, it’s also about hash power. Thus, some people are more interested in hardware technology, and energy markets needed to power that hardware, at scale.
You’re not overthinking it. You can’t.
There is no way to easily get “caught up”. Even if you spent the next year reading book about bitcoin ever published, the industry is moving so fast over the next 12 months, you won’t be able to keep up after you caught up.
My advice, take it slowly. Find the areas (perhaps mentioned above) that are interesting to you and follow your curiosity down the rabbit hole. Study #bitcoin. Ignore and avoid *everything* else in the shitcoin casino.
Nostr bitcoiners are available to recommend books and podcasts.

I have a theory: not everything is a conspiracy.
Google dominates the market because they outcompeted other services on search function. The results were fast, relevant, and unlike anything Lycos, Infoseek, or Ask Jeeves were serving in the mid to late 90s, and early 2000s. Google was just better and everyone knew it. By 2004, searching for something on the Internet became colloquially known as “Googling.” (Note that a googol is just a big number: 10 to the power of 100. The company came up with that as a nod to the power of math. It’s not a verb. *We,* the consumer, came up with that, based on how much we were using the service.)
Since then, now two decades later, Google is now Alphabet. They have acquired and built a suite of products and services, while improving Search, at no charge to the consumer. In many cases, these products are superior (by measure of convenience) to paid products built by software companies, like Microsoft. Alphabet will continue to dominate (in any area) until a better alternative comes along that is cheaper, faster, or more useful. That’s how the free market works. Here, I’m leaving aside government restrictions such as China’s Great Firewall to both promote its own alternatives and prevent its citizens from viewing pro-democracy content (e.g. 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre).
Before you prepare your tinfoil hat, recognize the fact that consumers don’t like spending money. They will choose a free version of something if it means they pay with an abstract concept like “attention” or “privacy”. Alphabet knows this. Now you do, too.

I’ve thought a lot about this…
A name is a personal label. In a social realm, it is their very identity. Calling someone by a variation they did not offer can be an honest mistake, or it can be inconsiderate. You’re stepping over a boundary of how they choose to present themselves in the world. So they are redrawing it for you.
It’s like giving someone a nickname. If it’s not a term of endearment, or something that they appreciate, then it’s just disrespectful.

I agree that it comes down to incentives, as you point out.
Whether it’s a misinterpretation (intentional or not), or an entitled/inflated pancakes v. waffles outrage, or an a attempt at a witty dunk on a perceived enemy to score points, or a pandering to one’s follower set to maintain loyalty, or imposing/expressing an authoritative opinion outside of one’s expertise to increase an audience or relevance…
All of these are driven by an incentive to be seen, feel validated, or get paid. I think it comes down to culture. Note, for example, how Tumblr used to have a unique audience and content creation. It was different than MySpace or Facebook. Some of that had to do with how these platforms were built and how user interactions were displayed. Some of it was how the content, itself, was consumed by users. Note that many areas of Reddit (at the time of writing) still have a playful sense of humor, and supportive community, while X is broadly a cesspool of insults and hatred. Why? Is it just because the Mods make it so? Is it the ability to downvote?
Seems like there’s an opportunity for a Reddit-like Nostr alternative. Mods wouldn’t be able to remove content from relays of course, but it would be nice to have a community that wasn’t permissioned and publicly traded, with all the incentives that come with *that*.
TL;DR build better communities by supporting others with thoughtful interactions and disincentivize trolls (somehow).

Yes, that’s another great meditation technique for sure, but not the one I’m advocating for in this post. This post is an intermediate exercise for people who can’t get there as easily as you.
Rather, in *this* exercise, the goal is to bring your focus directly onto the thinking process itself, examining it in the moment that it arises. The next step, which I didn’t write (because I didn’t want to write too much this morning), is to draw your attention sharply on onto the thought and then momentarily turn your attention onto the source of the thinking, if you can find one.
Is there a source, or is there just an experience of thinking? If you think you found a source, isn’t that just another creation of your thoughts? There’s actually nothing there.
By bringing your focus directly onto thoughts, you watch them unravel into nothing. Metaphorically, thoughts are just the running programs of your body-mind’s operating system.
The idea here is to see, first hand, that the mind is just a functioning organ like any other. The liver makes bile, the body-mind makes thoughts. Acknowledge this, and you don’t need to take them as seriously. You don’t need to indulge them. They aren’t necessarily real or true. They are just a process and you are experiencing them.
