If you don’t live somewhere you can rely on the govt for basic services like police then you might wanna think twice before saying such services can be privatised without consequence…

They have in Canberra too. 20% markup etc… https://cdn.nostr.build/i/20d88863ff589d9ef2ae1bc56079a2d25f4ef0a64d075867bfa642607ab4192e.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/801b4f1a71499c2779429923951c0a418d3f1e718cd5ec116ae49496431fbaf8.jpg

You have a guarantee in developed countries that you can call the cops and they’ll probably come. This is one of the primary reasons most of the world goes through hell to try to emigrate here. Looking around at countries that use the private security model and we have South Africa? How’s that working out?

Sometimes good ideas, rushed, can produce bad outcomes

2023-07-09 14:12:20

So people say the ‘collapse’ of the fiat system and transfer of traditionally wealthy people’s wealth to bitcoiners, that these people will let this happen without violence or at the very least loathing of us…

To be clear that mainly applies to twitter not on here. But that could be a function of greater numbers on Twitter

Does nostr have a news feed yet, like at least 50% not just your posts or the posts people you follow post?

The key to having a good body is knowing when to listen to your body and when not to

2023-07-09 12:19:16

Some people exaggerate the good things in their lives, while some emphasise them. Maybe this is the true dwfinition of positivity. Not only telling the bad things to those close to you

2023-07-09 11:59:18

When you’re listening to an amazing album like Linkin Park’s first and realise you are on repeat and only up to track 1 or 2 again. So many great songs to go😬

An actual legit benefit of twitter is the good feed. This is actually worth something. Nostr has a lo mg way to catch up on this

Bitcoin is strong but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s useful rn, especially if no one is willing to pay small businesses with it

I guess I’m saying that it phrase ‘fiat collapse’ actually happening would not be good even for bitcoiners

2023-07-09 11:14:40

- reply

Yeah but aren’t we assuming no taxes? So everyone has to instantly get private security. In other words there would be some unknown period where there was no security

2023-07-09 11:00:43

I really think the next step after all deciding bitcoin is probably better is starting to talk about an orderly roadmap from fiat to bitcoin. Balaji’s work is the best example of this so far.

2023-07-09 10:58:24

We’re always talking about the benefits of a collapse of fiat but not the negative effects. You don’t go from 90% police protection (in most countries) to 100% private overnight. So what if the intervening period is 50 years? That’s nothing in the scheme of humanity. No one is talking about this

2023-07-09 10:15:38

‘Less bonds more cash and gold’- balagi. This is actually profound. Most of us think of cash as govt monopoly but, what if massive banks issued their own cash/ token?

I owe my ex girlfriend a lot. Even though it didn’t work out, thank you for always being you

2023-07-09 09:50:15

One of the best things about twitter/nostr etc is that you can have someone like a tweet/ post and you see it and then realise that you can post more stuff and not have it drown out earlier ideas

2023-07-09 09:40:39

It starts with one
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind

That’s not the danger, as I understand it, of a 51% attack. The danger is an entity (government/ hackers etc) seizing the hashpower of those 50 miners (which is getting even more centralised over time) and then forcing a change to the base layer.

2023-07-07 03:44:18

- reply

It’s 50 entities, a lot operating under the laws of one jurisdiction. There are 100 times more fiat banks in the USA than that…

Sure. How would governments survive if we only used bitcoin? How would they raise tax revenue? What about power/ internet outages that shut down wallets? What if the bitcoin baselayer was hacked? How will miners survive after all coins are mined? What if the US govt seized 51% hashing power from large US based miners and did a 51% attack? If govts just made bitcoin illegal and retroactively capital gains taxed citizens

I’m not so sure. Everyone on here is so sold on bitcoin, like it has no issues and will resolve everything. These kind of people won’t make it stronger, they just look like fanatics and scare people away.

The crazy thing about being single is realising there are like 3 people in the world who you actually trust have your best interests at heart, and you ain’t even sure about them. Literally everyone else doesn’t care about tearing you down to pull themselves up. And smile to your face

2023-06-19 13:28:28

Maybe the person you should really be with is also with someone they should’t probably tolerate but they too are pretty scared to leap over to something that looks better on the surface but may well not be.

2023-06-19 13:05:18

Maybe you shouldn’t be caring so much that they resent you for relaxing, despite what they say. Maybe they always will
