Bitcoin challenges central banks. Always has been and always will. Anyone can use bitcoin for whatever they want, that's the purpose of it.
If we want hyperbitcoinization, everyone will have to use bitcoin anyway. In what order this needs to happen is not that important.
I only wish more plebs would own some, though.

Estimated... So it's made up?
Why combine both variables (married, homeowners)? Seem unrelated.
Today many couples think formal marriage is overrated. I can't blame them, legally you can have the same by just signing a shared household contract. That didn't exist in the 50s. Besides the stigma of "oh, they live together but aren't married! 😳". Nobody cares nowadays.
I think there's interesting value by looking at the (presumed) decline of homeownership of 30yo, but combining that variable with marriedness seems pointless and distorts the otherwise interesting data beyond recognition.

If what you describe ever was to happen, it would be a matter of many decades, not just a few years. I think you're just very impatient and losing the plot about it.
Relax and stop comparing Bitcoin to shitcoins... Those are really designed for empty ptomises. Bitcoin already changed the world, and will continue to do so. And the world is 100% a better place with Bitcoin than without.

Unpopular opinion: When bitcoin has become really mainstream and the world pretty much depends on it working well as money, there will be zero tolerance to spam. Spam will be expensive, but that won't stop bad actors. Big measures will be taken if necessary, and the op_return PR will go down as one of the most startling stupidities in bitcoin history.

We need alternatives bitcoin implementations to core that compete on equal conditions.
Core can't be the de-facto standard monopoly of bitcoin node software anymore, since core developers make changes that take away freedom of configuration choice from node runners.

People are free to call the units what they want of course, but if you go and call sats bitcoin, then I think it's also your duty to deal with and fix the massive avalanche of confusion that's gonna come at you. It will be HELL and it will be your fault.
Seriously, if no-conoiners have trouble figuring out sats, good luck explaining the infinite pizza problem once you have "changed the issuance" or done "stock splits" or whatnot... 'Cause there will be massive outcry over that perception and it will be all over the mainstream media.

First order. I see SoV as a constant and MoE as a time depended change of that constant.
Like position and velocity.
Coincidentally, in economics one talks about the velocity of money, which is the speed of which one unit moves through the economy (changes hands), so this may be quite fitting.

2025-04-08 21:04:24 GMT

MoE = dSoV / dt

Just like Nixon screwed the rest of the world over Bretton woods by abandoning the gold standard, Trump is now screwing the rest of the world again by claiming the trade deficit the US needed to run due to Bretton woods was unfair and demanding compensation.
Bretton woods was a hell of a deal for the US, and the world leaders who signed it were naive.
Bretton woods was a workaround and the US masterfully exploited it's flaws. #Bitcoin is the real fix, and it has no such exploits.

Depends. If it's only for playing with a few sats in channels, that would be a great way to learn and not matter much, but the higher the total liquidity in channels the more serious I'd take robustness. A corrupt database or lost channel states can mean lost funds in the end.

I wouldn't share hardware with a lightning node like that. Better to have a dedicated machine with reliable hardware and a UPS or similar.

Oh, that might be. I am not claiming the ESP32 is good choice for security. But I suppose you need physical access for that.

This happens to be a nothingburger. These are undocumented HCI commands in the BLE api. Which means that you can do some previously undocumented stuff with the ESP32 if you already have access to run your own code on it to begin.
That said, any chip with ROM code or "binary blobs" that are needed runtime to interact with the hardware are problematic. For a microcontroller this is not as common yet, but unfortunately more complex SoCs that can run Linux almost always have some sort of secret binary blob nowadays.

Every bitcoin price cycle is a measurement of two variables:
1. The price top is a measurement of the amount of adoption without study.
2. The price bottom is a measurement of the amount of people who understood bitcoin.
Both always grow, especially the latter. Inevitably.
