I’m also basically an anarchist. I think there’s a massive difference between forcing people at gunpoint to do a certain thing and encouraging people to follow a good path.
You probably wouldn’t want someone you care about to get addicted to crack. But you wouldn’t kill them if they refused to quit. Nahmean?

Because it doesn’t point to a “good” outcome. It just boosts self-esteem.
Sure you might encourage someone to do something they wouldn’t. But you have no modality to indicate that the new action would be “good” regardless of how you define “good”.
Culture-based behavioral regulation is a reliable way to ensure homogeneity of a unified set of cultural values, which we could reasonably call “the collective good”.
Would you tell Hitler/Stalin/Mao to “just be yourself?” Of course not! You’d be encouraging evil. They didn’t need encouragement because they were malevolent narcissists. But that begs the question, how did they become narcissists? I’d posit it’s, at least in part because someone, at some point encouraged them to “just be themselves”. And look how that bloody went!

It all started in 1914 when the Bank of England effectively printed £150 million, more than 60% of the money they raised for the war.
Without money printing, England would not have been able to afford to join the war. What we call “World War 1” would have been a brief, local conflict.

Yes, DNMs adding Monero but not removing Bitcoin.
I think that momentum speaks more to Monero being better than ZCash and MimbleWimble
That said, I’ve seen ransomware discounts as high as 10% for paying in Monero over Bitcoin. That’s not nothing.

2023-10-03 00:52:58

Always a Bitcoin maxi BUT I dipped my toe into Monero not long ago. Lots of FUD surrounding Monero, esp around mining, decentralization, supply audits, etc.
What ultimately turned me off of it was liquidity. Even DNMs are far more likely to accept Bitcoin than Monero. It’s much easier to pay with Bitcoin or turn Bitcoin into USD. Most of the KYC-free buying of Monero involves buying Bitcoin first.
Also pseudonymous, unconfiscatable, and uncensorable are 99.9% as good as true anonymity.

Oni, Momotaro, and Pure Blue Japan are great brands. Not stretchy tho.

To prioritize privacy, UTXO should be just larger than expected spend.
The worst thing for your privacy is to pay a 1mil sat invoice with a 100BTC UTXO and expose your wealth.
Have some UTXOs at approx:
-500k sats
-1mil sats
-5mil sats
-10mil sats
-50mil sats
-etc
Keep in mind CoinJoin sizing too

Find a woman who shares your traditional values. Can’t build a foundation on sand.
If you’re religious, I recommend meeting her thru that. If you’re not, I recommend finding God and meeting your wife at a Church event (in that order).

Liquid is a transparent and federated sidechain. Adam Back cannot singlehandedly rugpull Liquid on a whim.
There are risk-reward tradeoffs with using Liquid. They’re completely transparent so I analyzed them and chose not to use Liquid.
Are all Bitcoin-related companies opportunistic? If yes, then agree to disagree. If no, then I’m curious what the difference is to you.

I agree with the sentiment but think this solidifies in your formative years, say 13-23.

Every child deserves to preserve their innocence. Every rapist should be prosecuted (and castrated imo).
What is it, 100x more per capita rapists among public school teachers vs priests? But the priests get 100x more coverage. A trick of the devil to make the unchurched feel righteous and keep them from the Lord.

Optimize based on the business.
Short names are more likely to get remembered, hired, and promoted.
Polish, British, French, Jewish, etc. last names always carry certain connotations. Look how Hollywood peeps regularly use false names.
People with “two first names” are stigmatized in sales roles. “Dave Charles” for example.

Sorry. USDT, not TUSD

2023-08-28 15:40:52

- reply

The argument goes something like this:
-Tether does not have 1 USD in their coffers for every TUSD issued (this is true)
-Tether creates TUSD willy nilly and spends it to buy BTC, thus pumping the price of BTC artificially
It’s quite easy to debunk. But people who don’t understand the basics of why BTC has value really latch onto this one.

You can find the ones that the perps release publicly before they commit their crime.
It’s the ones where they “leave a note” that never get released because the FBI/CIA doesn’t usually release them.

high energy use is a feature because it ties a real world cost to the issuance of Bitcoin AND to attacking the network.

Most energy consumers aren’t price sensitive and have highly variable load, miners are the opposite so they balance the grid (see Texas).
Nobody mines Bitcoin on GPUs anymore and the lithography is much different for an ASIC so regular computers are unaffected in the supply chain.

Hey Bit, reading your other replies, you obviously have thought about this more and more technically than most.
That said, I think you’re reading about PoW from people who don’t understand it. PoW is an incorruptible clock to ensure the order of transactions in the ledger is accurate. https://dergigi.com/2021/01/14/bitcoin-is-time/
