Another day older and deeper in debt

2024-09-10 21:55:29

Sixteen Tons
In the days of debt servitude, your employer would pay you in their currency scrip and you would buy everything you needed from the company store. When you didn’t have enough the company store would lend you the money, and you would pay it back from your next paycheck which typically would also not be enough—you became a debt slave. This is not different than being stuck in #fiat and fighting inflation by those who print the #fiat—the FED/USG is the new Company Store

Apparently it is standard practice within the Internet Service Provider community to keep records of all IP addresses and the IP to which they request information in case law enforcement requests the historical info, records going back for years in some cases

As #bisq does not have margin lending and the only thing keeping overlapping #bitcoin orders from being filled is different settlement methods and counterparty uncertainty, #bisq could imply a true value being shown if there was more activity
For example, if all overlapping orders were filled we would have a last good exchange price a little over $59k, whereas https://bitbo.io is showing $58.3k

Appreciate your discussion
The concept of if M2 (savings and cash) being converted into #bitcoin having a value of $113tn is a legitimate evaluation starting point as theoretically it should not have more value than that which already exists. A question in my mind does the value become spread across only the trading stores? What about the transactional theory that puts value only st the transaction quantity level—these keep my gears turning

It doesn’t force close a channel. Force closure happens when one of the two parties initiate it. The exposure would be if you drop offline and your channel counterparty force closes with an inaccurate balance and you being offline. This is why it’s good to set up a watchtower for protection

Find a well-connected merchant that sells for #bitcoin over lightning something you like and regularly purchase, e.g. coffee, tea, beer, etc. Open a channel with them and fund with a few months worth of purchases, like €400. After a few purchases of coffee/beer/tea/whatever, you now have inbound liquidity back from the well-connected merchant.

Inflation—It doesn’t need to happen. In fact equal parts inflation and deflation should happen. Technological advances cause more deflation than inflation, yet here we are—look at the right side of this chart. The blue areas are when the US has a Federal Bank manipulating currencies and interest rates.
Inflation is insidious, causing endless economic pain, taking from some and giving to others, forcing people to work and unable to keep up or save, or enjoy the fruit of their labour.

So many people believe a centralised exchange price is accurate reflection of #bitcoin’s value

Future #bitcoin business opportunities abound—#bitcoin disaggregates the payments and insurance function. Today, the credit card payment mechanism creates risk-shifting between the buyer and seller and the insurance intermediary. With #bitcoin those functions can be engaged (or not). For example, if a seller wants fraud (double spend before confirmation to the blockchain) protection, there will be a service provider for that. For merchants that do not need that protection they don’t pay for it.

Yes, here it is in context:
“The networks need to have separate fates. BitDNS users might be completely liberal about adding any large data features since relatively few domain registrars are needed, while Bitcoin users might get increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices”
The comment was to compare how two networks might not want to have the same size requirements and should not be required to adhere to the features of another system.

Fun math:
Top miners are about 17.5j/Th
¢5 per kW/hr is relatively inexpensive electricity
• #bitcoin has 600Ehash mining
• 600Eh @ 17.5j/Th = 10.5mm kj
• 10.5mm kj x ¢5 per kW/hr = $525,000/hr globally
• $525k/hr x 24hr x 356days =
$4,600,000,000/yr for #Bitcoin mining, globally
Cost/yr fiat currency production from treasuries:
• US = $1,900,000,000 per year
• EU = $1,700,000,000 per year
USD & EUR = $3.6 billion per year to run
