Life’s timing can be something.
I spent most of yesterday editing the full interview with Theo Mogenet, GM of nostr:npub18ull0tdnj9vugtq259k48szg80al44ta7g4fa85nvj3svaq7kt8s9udcl9 Europe. (Respect to video editors - the process is beyond challenging for an inexperienced girl like me.)
Anyway, we spoke a lot about French culture and attitudes. Specifically why it can be difficult for a French person who is accustomed to respecting status, hierarchy, and diplomas, to grasp an open-source and “flat” network like #bitcoin
There’s no one in charge. Anyone can spin up a node, unplug, move elsewhere, etc. There’s no private banker licking your boots to reconfirm your status.
As timing would have it, I’m hearing everyone talk about Deepseek so I take a break to check it out.
Then I check Nvidia’s stock price.
What does Nvidia have to do with Bitcoin and French culture?
Nothing.
Except for last year, I was “gently” put in my place by an “affluent” French person (with titles, assets, etc.) who explained to me that Nvidia was far superior to Bitcoin. The subtext being “I’m more important than you, therefore I know better”.
I resumed editing, painfully, but at least I had a little smile on my face.
Fin
