Bitcoins are not mined, they are issued over time.
Out of all the misconceptions when it comes to #Bitcoin, the misconception that “miners” are creating “bitcoins” is probably the most asinine one.

"There has never been a government that didn't sooner or later try to reduce the freedom of its subjects and gain more control over them, and there probably will never be one... Therefore, instead of trying to convince our current government not to try, we'll develop the technology that will make it impossible for the government to succeed."

On April 19, 2024, the Bitcoin block subsidy issuance was cut in half from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 #BTC per block.
This lowered Bitcoin’s inflation rate to 0.7% per year, which is lower than gold’s inflation of ~1.5% per year.
#Bitcoin’s Halving issuance is anti-inflationary.

Some conflate what criminals use while committing fraud and crime with those literal items being fraud and crime.
Criminals using Photoshop, computers, email, smartphones, and cars doesn't makes those items criminal.
That'd be like saying, "U.S. dollars are fraud and crime because of Bernie Madoff and #Bitcoin is fraud and crime because of Sam Bankman-Fried."

In hindsight, I should have used the word *old school* instead of *analog*.

2024-07-21 08:49:43

ACH and credit card networks are the analog way of payments.
With the invention of the Internet, an Internet-native digital currency is required.
And while PayPal and Venmo were built to provide analog payments over the Internet, they’re not an Internet-native currency.
#Bitcoin was built to be Internet-native currency.

Them: Can't the Bitcoin code just be changed to make more Bitcoins?
Me: You mean like the 7 people on the Board at the Federal Reserve (which controls money supply and interest rates) have always done?
Yes, the #Bitcoin code can absolutely be changed, just like The Fed can change the money supply and interest rates.
The real difference between Bitcoin and The Fed is:
- If the Bitcoin code gets changed to increase the supply of Bitcoins, NONE of the 19,000+ decentralized nodes are forced to accept the new code. Everyone gets a vote and it's 100% opt-in.
- When The Fed makes changes to the money supply and interest rates, every citizen is FORCED to accept it. No vote and no opt-out.

I’m personally pushing to make sure that #Bitcoin becomes all three: SoV, MoE, UoA
Selling my products in exchange for #BTC is what I’m doing today for MoE.
UoA is likely something my grandson will see.

“#Bitcoin has no top because fiat has no bottom!”
- Max Keiser
It took me a while to grasp this. The value of Bitcoin can go up forever because the value of fiat can go down forever.

For me the use-case for #Bitcoin as a MoE was planted in multiple instances:
1. Satoshi releasing Bitcoin in Jan 2009 with “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” embedded in the genesis block. All developed countries were put through the ringer during the Great Financial Crisis, including my business.
2. Reading @npub1gdu…6nak ’s The Bitcoin Standard to understand money, what’s wrong with fiat, and Bitcoin as a world-view. This allowed me to see the full path: SoV, MoE, UoA
3. @npub1s05…eyhe has really opened my eyes to seeing everything as Bitcoin-first, including seeing the fiat system’s inflation and oppression.
4. Accepting Bitcoin/Lightning payments for my products, which is my way of getting involved with Bitcoin as MoE.

Me: People poo-poo'd the Internet back in the mid-90s.
Anti-Bitcoiner: The Internet wasn't pretending to be money.
Me: The Internet wasn't pretending to be images or web browsers or search engines or blogs or e-commerce or social media or video streaming either. Yet here we are.

This is *how* #Bitcoin gets applied to economic activity: as a constant measuring rod against which all economic activity is measured.
“The automatic adjustment mechanisms of the gold standard had always provided a constant measuring rod against which all economic activity was measured, but the floating currencies gave the world economy imbalances.”

How cool!
“The holographic principle states that the entropy of ordinary mass (not just black holes) is also proportional to surface area and not volume; that volume itself is illusory and the universe is really a hologram which is isomorphic to the information "inscribed" on the surface of its boundary.”

Them: The price of #Bitcoin is volatile.
Me: Well duh!
Imagine complaining that the skyscraper isn’t finished being built when the cement is still being poured into the foundation.
