Last Notes npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit Freeze and censor transactions and #bitcoin emerges. Fight against privacy & conjoins and you get L2s and L3s popping up. Arrest, bully or intimidate developers of free speech apps and you get #nostr and Musk buying Twitter. Life will not be contained.

Implement shitcoinX => short term profit from shitcoinersX 2. No more shitcoiners inflow because it's already old & boring. 3. Keep spending $ for maintenance & support of shitcoinX. Will profit from #1 outweigh expenses from #3? And for how long? Of course, you can drop the support and clean the codebase while still in the profit. Or let rot in your application something nobody no longer uses => making your UI/UX shitty. The first feels like screwing over your shitcoinX customers. The latter screws over your product. I don't know but it kind of feels like high-time preference fiat bullshit strategy without a winning scenario. But hey, it's just me.

Then look at the price in the past and convert it to eggs (based on egg price back then) You'll find out we live in a pretty nice technological deflation.

What an incentive to finally start doing their job... #bitcoin npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit So I did some math... You can buy in my country brand new mid-class car for about $25000. You can also buy around 100 000 eggs for the same price. 1 car = 100k eggs. In 1998 it would cost around $15000. But 191 000 eggs. 🥚 This suggests that technological deflation in past 26 years measured using my patented highly accurate egg-technique is around 48%. For mid/high end laptop which costs around $1800 it is equivalent to around 1000 loafs of bread. 🍞 But again in 1998 it was 3600$ and around 5300 loafs of bread. Technological deflation of laptops measured in loafs of bread in the past 26 years is staggering 81%. Let's verify it! I can buy 1 loaf of bread for the same price as 8 eggs. (🍞 = 8🥚) In 1998, it was surprisingly similar! (🍞=8.2🥚) Conclusion: To measure technological deflation using egg-bread technique is not the most accurate. But it's funnily interesting. Price of stuff remains very similar relative to each other. Some are cheaper thanks to technological advances. Just our money ($ € ¥ £) are utterly useless crap to be used as a measuring stick. Let's measure it in #bitcoin. We'll be living happier lives... 🧡 npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit Going to the halving party, are we? :)) npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit That's way too dark. I love it. ❤️ npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit I'm constantly oscilating between attending #bitcoin meetups, listening to podcasts nonstop etc. AND being tired of it all, quietly counting my sats before sleep and just chilling by myself. npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit Could you expand on how/which deals he killed and how? I'm genuinely curious and want to know. npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit It's a fine line between being a bitcoiner or slipping into scamming people just because it's easy in this space. You can argue with free markets and capitalism, but at the end of the day, it's the actions and consequences of those actions that determine whether you're a bitcoiner or a scamster. #bitcoin represents all that is good on this Earth. And you're not a bitcoiner in my eyes if you are not decent & good. Bitcoin is too damn beautiful & important to me to accept anyone who just hodls, no matter the amount, as a bitcoiner. You need to become a bitcoiner through mental proof of work. https://image.nostr.build/dd59e388c2b6f80a393fc0ba7c8adc74815ae3dbd017ac3f41a17aa1d2b16944.jpg npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit TV series Andor: Besides the beautiful Star Wars story of Rebels fighting the Imperium it is also quite a terrifying sneak peek at what financial totality looks like.

What if nation-states, instead of directly fighting #bitcoin, start creating subsidies for miners. As everything that states provide subsidies for becomes immeasurably corrupt and broken, it might start incentivize only the bad actor miners and pushing out the good ones. I don't have any opinion or idea 💡 about the potential outcome yet. Need to let it rot it in my head for a while. It would probably have to happen in jurisdictions where electricity is cheap. In other jurisdictuons it would only bring miners which would otherwise not be profitable to mine. But what do you think? npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit Hyperinflation is here already. All fiat is hyperinflating through four-year lens of #bitcoin.

With the upcoming financial totality (CBDC) and rapid growth in efficiency (AI), non-state money is absolutely crucial. Imagine – and this will happen soon – that central bankers will try to maintain x% inflation in a world of dramatically increasing efficiency. Instead of growing prosperity corresponding to human progress, braindead central bankers will try to maintain inflation, "because it is essential for the economy." The only thing they will achieve is massive theft of wealth from the population. Fortunately, we already have an opt-out strategy. We have bitcoin. npub1wtmmcqjmppz2usp3a8tf5npqqrtruf7hlmhk2smqff4s6s9fpzfqmfrhdh Petroit Working for corporate bullshittery with crap products is sucking life out of me.

In my opinion, future global money must meet several conditions. All are necessary, but none alone is sufficient. Only bitcoin, in my view, fulfills them all. #1 It must be independent of states, organizations, or any individuals. #2 It must operate on Proof of Work consensus; PoS leads to long-term centralization, violating condition #1. #3 Precise monetary policy with a limited maximum supply. #4 Network/Viral effect. It must be a widespread technology, and Bitcoin is the most widespread. #5 It must technically enable both secure storage of funds and instant, convenient, and inexpensive exchange. (Ahem... Lightning, which 99% of altcoins pretend not to have heard of) #6 It must be an open protocol that anyone can freely use and build upon. Am I forgetting something?

It's such an incredible force for all things good, true, and healthy that it makes it difficult not to scream it out loud into the world, to not try to wake up everyone. I have friends who don't really have passions and it's hard to grasp the fact that bitcoin could not be someone's passion. It made me see the world through another lens which also made all my other passions much more enjoyable and profound. So... It's the 15th birthday for teenage Bitcoin.

But among other things, Vitalik also says that: 1. Many projects use blockchain just so that they can secure (easy) funding. 2. Points out how projects are starting to get centralized and how it is impossible to ensure decentralization in PoS. https://image.nostr.build/b8c99e31c0797b6133855d37c0edae69ca062115abec73068a4b45f037d66cd8.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=962x598&blurhash=rkRfXbV%3Fogaxogaxogaxogf6axjsa%23j%5Bf7fQayfRgSbJf5j%5BjYa%23jrfkaxV%3Dj%5Ej%5Daxj%5Bf6j%5Da%7Dj%5BocaybIj%40azjtazj%5Daykujsjsa%23f5j%5Df5flf5&x=5982b223c476e3f83a2f5b718bd1e1765507e5d5a69868259ed2c3cc0bd5a0d4 He says as projects get bigger, they abandon their ideals => This confirms just how people are corruptible and how you can't have anyone in charge. At the same time, he says it may not be possible to ensure decentralization on the PoS protocol level. And that is why we do PoW. Vitalik is wicked smart, no arguing about that. But it feels like he is maybe coming to some realizations. I don't want all the altcoins to fail. I honestly don't care. But I wouldn't bet on any of them.
