The Liberty Farmer

For a non-intellectual? Sure, you can call it whatever you wish.
For normal folks, communism an economic needs and capital ownership assesing economic system, and has literally nothing to do with punishing criminals who don't obey the very basics of another person's liberty and freedoms.
But thanks for playing. I have zero doubt you gave it your all.

It is absolutely censorship. Not government or company censorship, but censorship nonetheless. However there is nothing wrong with user and peer censorship, as it isnt forced onto another user on nostr. They can use or create a relay that mirrors the large relays and simply ignores reported content. Unlike with government or centralized entities like 'X'.

He was also completely off base with his comment about segwit and miners. Miners DID NOT take a major hit on fees with the change. He is completely misinformed.
I have looked at around 5,000 blocks pre and post segwit, and again in the past 2 years. The amount of TX went from around 1200-1500 per block, to an average of 4500 today.
Changing to the current weight system increased transactions almost 3x on average. The blocks have almost the exact same BTC fee as they did in 2015(when full blocks happened), 2016, as they do today.
The miners weren't deprived of their rights from the change, they literally saw virtually no difference. Fees dropped, TX increased.

Yes, but the price of homes with sound money drops. 30 and 40 year mortgages at 2%, VA, fha, usda, and so on, all go away.
Prices should fall the older a house ans higher maintenance it is, like a car. Sure there are supply and demand factors, but overall they are a liability and should fall accordingly as they get outdated.

Sorry bro, you have too much there to go back and forth and I just don't have the time. Ill just leave it with 3 key points:
The fed doesn't buy treasures. They aren't allowed to by law. Only primary dealers/banks are allowed to buy them. And NOT using fractional accounts, only collateralized accounts/cash.
2nd, over the past 111 years, MOST government debt IS NOT via the money printer. It is from Corp and indv savings, funds, pensions, and other countries.
Think about it. The fed balance sheet AND M2 was shrinking at the same time the government added 2.8T in debt this last year.
Yes, financing costs on bonds with sound money could be 2 or 3% or 5%. Whatever the market deems appropriate for lending your cash for XX time fram and risk. Remember there is no inflation, so you don't have to 'beat inflation'. Only need to evaluate time and risk.
Have a good one. Nice chat.

2024-06-06 20:27:05

- reply

No, they aren't.
The fed could dissappear tomorrow and the treasury could still issue debt.
It would merely have to be paid for by the savings of individuals, companies, funds, banks, etc..
This is 100% possible without fractional reserve banking and could still be the case on a bitcoin standard in fact.
The fed can print at will within reason, but also has to handle inflation as part of their law, so they can't in reality. They certainly could print it, and it doesn't matter. If it stays at the fed, it has zero affect on the global economy. Without the velocity and moving into private hands, it would be just a number.

governments don't need fractional reserve banking. They are the bank. They control the amount of currency in circ and the overall debt. As we have seen time and time again, if they cannot actually sell debt, they will inflate the currency, such as turkey just did. 75% currently. Nobody wanted to buy their bonds for a few years now.

Huge difference though.
Paper gold is pointless, and mostly just for etf and futures. Nobody really knows the gold supply, not usd created outsode of the fed.
Bitcoin is easily auditable.
The key difference is that if you have bitcoin on say coinbase, and want to buy a gift card at bitrefill, coinbase has to pull actual bitcoin from their wallet and send to bitrefill.
Unlike dollars, where it is just a ledger entry at the various banks amd settlement layers. With the exception of physical cash, which they also must obtain and give the actual item.
The amount of actual cash in the us economy is controlled closely by the fed, treasury, and mint. It is subject to endless printing like mortgages, loans, stocks, sears cards, etc.. currently I believe it is at 2 Trillion, and has been pretty stable for a while.
Huge difference.

One off cases are far more likely and hopes for guilty pleas.

The latter, sort of. But it's not a credit line. Rather more like a bank settlement of funds. As it essentially secured by butcoin locked in the first place, not a loan. Hence why when you open a channel, you don't get 'thier' half of the funds, ie: no inbound liquidity.
