I’m just trying to make a point. Proof of work only works for Bitcoin and speech should be free.
You don’t have to listen though, so bye bye 🫡

Paid speech is still free speech bro bro
Paid = free ?
Free as in "liber" not free as in "gratis".
Sure 🙈
And high tariffs = free trade?
No a tarrif is a tax on trade imposed by the state under threat of violence.
Mostly yes, but private cities could impose tariffs too, without the threat of violence.
Tariffs are a fee for “free trade” just as Hodls proposal is a fee for “free speech”.
Non of the above is desirable nor truly free.
No.
Tarrifs are free in neither sense of the word.
They are not "libre" free as any two parites are not free to trade with each other in any way they both choose without imposition by the state.
And they are not "gratis" free as you are required to pay a tax to the state.
A client where users are required to pay for speech that users can freely join is clearly not "gratis" free but will be "libre" free so long as any users can join and there is no restriction on what they can post.
I get your point, but I strongly disagree.
If people are required to pay for speech it’s neither “gratis” nor “libre”.
There is a reason we call it “paywall”: a wall is meant to keep people outside. In this case poor people.
Does free trade mean the trade must have no cost?
Does free speech mean the speech must have no cost?
It means you are free to engage in these activities not that it will have no cost to do so.
Bitcoin could be seen by many as the ultimate expression of free speech as anyone is able to broadcast a transaction without permission and even include a message in that transaction but I suppose that you would also not view this as free speech as there is a transaction fee involved.
Perhaps we will have to agree to disagree here.
Neither actually
Free as in freedom not as in beer
Money is speech bro
Its the purest expression of your values
Somehow even the ghouls of SCOTUS understand that
A real applicatiom of putting your money where your mouth is.
You say this shit while having me muted for being "mentally ill"
You're extremely sick
