Last Notes npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Best channel to watch the debate: https://www.twitch.tv/trumporbiden2024 npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I'm so happy!! #JulianAssange will go free, but only after pleading guilty of being in violation of the Espionage Act, which he was, so like, ok. That act is itself unconstitutional and flat out a violation of liberty. It should be appealed and challenged by the Supreme Court, and if that's not enough, well, we keep fighting, keep using Bitcoin and privacy tech, keep choosing nonviolence. Our rulers do not have the divine right to make all the laws. They need to be held accountable, too, and Assange helped to hold them accountable. MF hero!! #nevent1q…xrk5 npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon #Coconutoil is the #Bitcoin of cooking oils. Spread the word. Low time-preference (and heat preference) oils. Lard is one too. They're good for replenishing LDL cholesterol and have like 0 toxins as opposed to soy or corn oils. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon #Satoshi #Bitcoin #economics https://image.nostr.build/3fdc3236a8c38f9d93593c282812a513c4fcaea19199c2aa7895b7242c0948ac.jpg npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon meh. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon #ThisIsTheWay #Dostoevsky https://youtu.be/PmdORanu2eU npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon It might also be that certain parts of their brain are acting rational from their limited scope. A lack of intellectual honesty is effectively a barrier to information flow. The mind is composed of pieces that operate in conjunction to perform logical and processual tasks. Operating on bad info can result in inefficient and seemingly illogical outcomes. Sometimes people just need to realize that what is really blocking them is their failure to think, not their failure to not drink. I made an economics budget line and indifference curve diagram for my friend yesterday about why it is actually completely rational from a certain point of view (in her case, a short term thinking point of view) why she will not work on a learning project if her laptop is set aside instead of on her desk, even though she would be happier to have gotten it out and worked on it a while, yet she will start it if the laptop is already out. There is an initial cost that is great enough to not want to move and expend the energy, yet that cost reduces to very little once the laptop is out and the additional reward of doing the work becomes manifest. It would be an additional burden if there was a cost to even remembering that you have a project to work on and where the laptop is. People who drink alcohol frequently have similar costs that they are unwilling to bear or unaware that it is of prime importance or would be, had they taken a step back and considered from another point of view, often a longer time horizon. You probably know all this, it's just interesting for me to talk about haha npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Yeah I don't get people who drink often. I mean I can at times understand it, but it is completely irrational. Unfortunately many people suffer dysfunction of the mind lol npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Ohhh you're talking the levels, I get it. Thanks! Yeah I tend to think, when I think deeply, somewhere in the very high levels. I'm able to integrate and understand this way and that way and that I'm just a person playing my part so I gotta make rational sense yet achieve goals by being able to see other points of view without falling into believing people on authority. Whatever that is, that's my default mode. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon People just keep killing themselves with fiat food. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I wish the Mad Max wiki were more consistent and fleshed out. They have like oodles of dialogue in Mad Max 1 about the MFP being only in control of a certain territory and the financial relationship between Fifi and the guy who funds the MFP. The wiki just says the MFP was started by the Australian government and leaves it at that. But Australia the state clearly no longer exists at this point and is a combination of ungoverned anarcho-capitalist territories (where the MFP and other police agencies operate) and ragged anarcho-criminal territories. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Furiosa is such a badass movie, and an excellent study in human choice in a world of criminals. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon That's quite profound. You are profoundly oblivious, haha! I was oblivious to the fact that I am too for a minute, until you mentioned it, though I operate as if I know how ignorant I am, usually, by not jumping to conclusions. We are often even oblivious to how well-structured our minds are, or how poorly structured, until we bring attention to the concept. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Is that true? Did he have a change of heart later, because he wound up proving them right on virtually everything with data analysis of their theories playing out in the real world. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Me too. What are we oblivious of? This time, I mean npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon What is postmodern about realizing that other perspectives might give insight to how to sharpen your own ideas or areas where there is a chance you are wrong? I thought postmodernism is all about rejection of any objective truth, which is not what I'm saying at all. Or am I mistaken, is it about acceptance of multiple ways of framing things rather than rejecting of objective truth? npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon That's an interesting way to look at it. Yes I feel like he is averse to looking at multiple points of view. I feel that he should recognize that he is right but entertain other ideas in case they rhyme with some truth that he is not yet glimpsing, to further round out his rhetoric and takes on things and offer a compelling, rational perspective that can compete with other narratives about the world even in the uninitiated. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon In some (not all) of his proofs, he takes the particular and magically makes it universal. He sometimes appeals to collectives as if they have a property right in their own right that is of the same urgency/importance as individual rights (national borders, legality of war). And he recently has been making the claim that positive analysis of markets is not only generally inefficient and a less sound basis for economic science, but that it is categorically a waste of all the resources put into it. What of the people who would be more convinced by that research?? And what if there was a flaw in the accepted deductions or definitions of the preeminent rationalist school of economic thought? (human error is rampant in the sciences, especially in our highly politicized, propagandized environment - what makes Austrian economics and his own work guaranteed to be infallible? perhaps some redundancy is, especially if voluntarily funded and unbiased, useful after all) npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Hot take: Hoppe is intellectually dishonest. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Well I'm sold that Trump would be best to win after that endorsement lol! Corruption is systematized so efficiently through Biden administration, and that's why they hate Trump so much. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Wow. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon M1 Finance just pulled a fast one on me. Violated the contract I had with them to utilize their credit card, which I paid for and was happy to keep paying for, because they changed the terms. I needed to have "enough assets under management" under the new terms, rather than paying for it. They didn't make this clear in their notice to me of the changed terms for M1 Plus, that the credit card was going to be closed, and they closed the account this morning with no advance warning. If my assets are not enough for them to honor a contract, I am taking my ass somewhere else. I don't take abuse from inefficient corporate entities. This is getting in the way of me getting work done today too. Bullshit. Transferring my roth and brokerage to more respectable, Bitcoin-respecting companies like Swan and Fidelity. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon But I'm lazyyyy Oh wait yeah, value is subjective, so I always get more out of a transaction than I put into it, and so does the other person, but the values will be equal along some other metric... I get it. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Hahahaha! I do do that though, kinda often lol npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I've followed myself for over a year now npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Ooh, yeah, sorry about that... npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Eh, I didn't find it funny. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Bitcoiners, plebs, and hooligans, please welcome my friend and fellow chaos theory enthusiast Ian Malcolm to nostr! #nevent1q…chy0 npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Free market activity, that is to say, voluntary exchange and open source development, is not your enemy. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon All they're doing is impoverishing dollar holders and dollar wage earners, not enriching bitcoin holders. I don't see that as a cause for celebration. It is like witnessing a war and coming out personally unscathed, being relatively better off compared to the injured and killed, when before the war there were no casualties. You are not any better off from money printing. They are just worse off. You are committing a logical fallacy, and it's an insulting one. The only good aspect about this is that, perhaps, with insane inflation, people will lose their faith in the dollar sooner than they already would have. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon CalyxOS. Already got it. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon From this I conclude that honesty is the principle tool of real power. Intellectual honesty and communicative honesty. That tracks. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Criminals would still have a hard time on BTC because people would prefer to interact with publicly verifiable transaction history/identity for people they do not know. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Fascinating! #nevent1q…uc74 npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Well whatever AI you used to generate that completely misinterpreted everything I said. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon If you dislike Ordinals, heat your home with a miner mining with the right Ocean filter. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I actually don't see anything wrong with this so long as it's voluntary. It was gonna be done by somebody. I prefer it be done by someone who actually understands Bitcoin, and that has no biometric data required. It is largely superfluous, yet it does not add onto the already existing scam of inscriptions, which are already rampant. It's actually a more efficient use of money, if someone voluntarily pays to have an ID made and Ocean miners can block them and make them pay dearly for it. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon That doesn't bode well. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Lmao I love this. What did Saylor do recently though? News travels to me a bit slower than to others lol npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I'd love to be! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Yeah I figured that too. So like any one of the multiple owners can access the resource as needed. I like it. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon About what? What happened? ...Wait what do I mean by what happened?? npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon This is so cool! I guess it's great if you're really bad at remembering where your keys are lol! #nevent1q…2fpy npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon It's hard to believe people are stuck on arrogant certainty and an inability to see that multiple different conceptions of things are simultaneously true. You can assert that fact all you want. It does not refute an entire framework of thought though, which consists of more than a simple little fact. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Well I'm fucked then. More than half my friends are women. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon https://www.fedi.xyz/blog/new-fedi-clovyr-alliance-simplifies-federation-implementation-for-users When it becomes easy to make fedimint federations on mainnet thanks to Fedi and Clovyr, and after I've familiarized myself with the tech a bit, I am considering making a Six Degrees Federation for fun. Anyone want to join if I do that? I'd offer virtually nothing of use, aside from safeguarding any money people park on my federation and facilitating reduced transaction fees, lightning arbitrage opportunities, and maybe some recommended apps/mods on your federation app. Testing the waters. I'd like to get into this emerging free banking world. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Yeah, and this is daily, not even weekly. I think that's just healthy. I don't do social media daily, and when I do, it's nostr or video platforms. In my case, it's just healthy, to not feel the need to check all the time because you've got other important, enriching stuff that sometimes takes precedence. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Think that's gonna happen in the West? npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Awesome awesome lecture I just discovered https://youtu.be/WhT_kA8EtYE #Marxism #AustrianEconomics #Hoppe npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Popper didn't understand the full implications of his own ideas as applied in conjunction with the insights of Austrian Economics, despite having discussions with Hayek, but his essential message laid out here, and that of this article, I wholly agree with. Bitcoin is a masterful piece of nonviolent social engineering. https://mattscodecave.com/posts/utopians-fear-them.html #KarlPopper #CriticalRationalism #utopians #clownworld npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Time to commit Mutiny npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon YIKES npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Is this Handsome Squidward? npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon THIS! Although, I suspect that fees will not be 1000 sats/vbyte in decades to come (maybe for rapid settlement), but rather the equivalent purchasing power of something like 250 sats/vbyte today. People will find scaling solutions more attractive with anything much higher than that, and that will lower demand for block space. #nevent1q…283q npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon GM nostr, GFY #nevent1q…d7t6 npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Ew noooo npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Rational actors, baby! #nevent1q…8az7 npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I really want some Wonka candy right now. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Justice Department to File Antitrust Suit Against Live Nation https://www.wsj.com/articles/live-nation-justice-department-antitrust-lawsuit-ab98c268 Another BS size=power argument. The "Justice Department" is fucking stupid. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon No clue what you are saying, so you probably didn't understand what I meant either. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Economics tells us that everything is in the process of becoming. There is no static equilibrium in economics. Man is always doing something, moving resources around. He is in reality a part of Nature, after all. #economics #daoism npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon For me, Primal and Amethyst stand apart as the best clients right now. Very feature rich. #nevent1q…tuem npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon No, it's a great word. We just need to point out the lies. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon If I must then I must! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I leave for like 3 days and suddenly everyone is Dan. Always something fun and unexpected here lol! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I've really gotta prepare. #note1vsx…ea4r npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Holy shit. I think I am closer to knowing why the knowledge of good and evil is a burden. Although, I still think it is a blessing. These massive criminal organizations and mind viruses of statism, Marxism, Gnostic death worship, etc., cause waste so tremendous, so destructive, it is extremely painful to behold. Those of us who are rational and insightful must bear that reality and yet still manage to have the ability, the responsibility, the accuracy, and the self-esteem to work to recreate some approximation of Eden on Earth. All of these goings-on are difficult to behold and to understand, and our own gut reaction, since we have the ability to choose what we do, has consequences. To coordinate all of this through time and space and come out thriving and helping our fellow man (which necessarily mgo together), is a tremendous feat. It is an act of continual improvement, refinement, becoming closer and closer to godliness. I don't know what to think of it. Is this what Genesis was referring to? Yet we have a Way, an easy Way forward: love, nonviolence, unassuming peace. In this we find serenity and can even forget the tyranny and destruction, until we happen to think on it again, whether by choice or by accident. And each time we do run into it, we get to choose nonviolence, and each time we do, we improve ourselves and improve the world. We become stronger, able to handle and confront reality, even its grimmest parts. Respect for consent and rationality are simple things we can trust. And at the same time they let us forge our own path and be as unique, differentiated, or complex as we wish. These two beautiful complimentary aspects of a sustainable life: the universal Way, and You in particular, combined, perhaps in their very selves, are what life is meant for, are God's true purpose for creation. Bible thoughts man. It just kinda clicked while I was laying here half-napping, sleep deprived. There's a lot of wisdom in these old books. There's more than meets the eye. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I buy whatever the heck I want. If I wanna pay a premium for preserving the environment, I will. I won't have to, so I won't want to, but in that hypothetical scenario where I both have to and want to, I would. Values are about more than just money. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon https://youtu.be/a-1GSirrOGo With #Bitcoin it is an understatement to say that we don't need #ESG to protect the #environment #freemarkets save the world! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon It's valuable. Very, very valuable information to us. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon THIS RIGHT HERE!!!! #nevent1q…9twp npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon omg noooo not corn oil!! Heat that shit up and eat it, you die. I stopped going to KFC when I realized it was giving me migraines, and probably cancer. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon We could have mantled an attack against authoritarianism itself. Set it ablaze, or engulfed it in molten rock and crystalized it to be looked upon as the strange curiosity it is. Obscenity turned to obsidian. Assholes to ashes. Perhaps. I like this idea of yours. We need a Magma Carta. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Magma carta?? You mean the Lava Charter?? I wish we had had that instead of the Big Charter. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Love this sound! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon ty npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I know that! Still fun. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon You think you can stop price gouging with the help of government, Stallman? Price gouging is ENABLED BY THE EXISTENCE OF GOVERNMENT. If you want to increase freedom, learn economics. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon It seems like the eCash was already received by someone at this point though npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I got in! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Wow!! A rational cat who actually thinks that maybe the light isn't what's doing the moving!! I've never seen a cat make that connection!! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Also known as a Poo Queue. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I'll see what I can do. Little tired at the moment from thinking about it all day haha npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Yeah I wonder that too. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Those are just ideologues. There are bitcoin projects, open source software, startup cities with hardworking self-reliant people who will never compromise their freedom, all kinds of good stuff. The technology, the market forces, and the ideas are all there. If we build it, they will come. Freedom beats control every time, if it's available. And it's more available than ever. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Yeah sounds like he has good taste. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Damn, dude owns a whole kingdom!! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon #Bitcoin #inscriptions and #NFTs are, at least right now, stupid, and yet they are legitimate and legal according to natural law. Don't cry about it like a whiny baby. Let the dickbutt idiots and JPEG chimps get priced out when they realize that it's not worth the money. In reality, inscriptions are going to find very important use cases for those who find it worthwhile to pay a large fee to post info to the blockchain. This will be the ultimate WikiLeaks and immutable filesharing service for when it is extremely important, and we can always just ignore these people and use scaling solutions and proper coin control to keep our transactions cheap and fast. NFTs might also have other use cases, like verifiable, trustless title of ownership of non-BTC property such as land or company shares, though the Bitcoin blockchain or its L2s may or may not ever become a particularly good base layer for this: this may be more likely to remain a service offered by a central equity exchange like the NASDAQ and a few conpetitors, or by a somewhat decentralized alternative network running on Proof of Work that's intended for title records only and not money. NFTs are shit right now, and proof of stake is a shitcoin. The possibilities for the technology in the future are great, but not a single altcoin out there at the moment is a sound investment, and nothing else is real money like Bitcoin is. The reason Bitcoin is the only place to confidently put your wealth is that investing is a full-time job, trying to predict minute details about the future. I like to do that kinda thing, hence my predictions about shitcoin innovations becoming less shit in the future - most people would never imagine something so retarded (most people didn't conceive of the computer mouse before it was invented too, or email, or publicly traded shares of a company - all retarded inventions). I like to think that I'm pretty good at understanding the universe and innovating and predicting, but it is quite risky. Saving money on the other hand is simple AF and basically risk-free: stack sats, learn a little about bitcoin regularly to maintain your stack safely and privately, and stay humble 🤙🧡 So do what I do and don't worry about what the free market does: that's the one thing you can trust. And don't do what I do and invest in speculative crap like stocks unless you are simultaneously good at economics and prepared to lose money. I just like that kind of suffering. Video covering why you shouldn't worry about what the free market does to Bitcoin fees: https://youtu.be/N03EumFv4kY I love Bitcoin University. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon GN 🤙🫂 npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Duuuuuude I can fanboy over Linus Torvalds now!! lol npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Holy fuck, whaattt?? LINUS TORVALDS IS ON NOSTR?? npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Yeah that's a tough one. The death penalty is something I would never advocate for, except as is necessary to stop more crime. It is up to nature to decide who lives and dies. Or at least, it is not up to me, on principle. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I can't see the note, might not be on my relays. Care to rebroadcast it? Also I don't know about no mercy. Jesus said not to fight violence with violence, sin with sin. I think that that arrogance can blind us even when we are on the whole correct. You can't get a good outcome from bad means, and all that. However, on the whole, I agree. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon so decentralized centralizations, kind of like a federation of limited democratic republics? smart, that never turns into a God-awful empire... npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Alright then, so the solution is not going to make things worse. Now I still have no clue what the orginal issue is. I'm not getting the context I need to know wtf we're talking about. npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon child's rights!! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon end prohibition!! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon Holy shit They're shooting themselves in the foot, this is gonna drive more people to self-custody and private transactions. #nevent1q…a8wa npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I wish you health! Take great care! npub18hdy2qy2qwga0ye7rtnucwuyf07erjfdmm7s74wwdt7sy4mk7tdsdd8059 Kevin's Bacon I'm curious what happens when you accidentally follow a spammer or someone who just recently started posting to a spammy relay unknowingly. I am not fully up on the duscussion here, some easy to understand context would be nice.
