you know what i havent heard?

i havent heard anyone who is fundamentally against cryptocurrency as a whole, explain that position in any sort of rational compelling way.

Its all emotions and empty virtue signaling. Which bums me out, because I am rather interested in people with strong convictions about things.

But if you cant explain yourself, and your response is not to speak, but scream and superglue yourself to the street, you are not a person with strong convictions, you are an insane person in a cult.

My only objection is that the money is only as good as your internet. A more remote threat is the 51% attack (a majority of miners can coordinate to block transactions of a targeted key or keys).

What are your thoughts on non-internet implementations of Bitcoin?

5dcd8ebc... 1y ago

Use gold. I think we need both. When internet is working, BTC is much easier to send across an ocean (or even across the US). However, gold keeps "working" regardless of internet. Even avoids "moth and rust doth corrupt", but still has the problem "where thieves break through and steal".

I have been imagining a Lightning network for gold. Maybe using existing Gold companies as custodial nodes.

I live under a rock and haven’t heard this news — has someone glued themselves to a street?

I’ve heard about people gluing themselves to heavy machinery, but a street is something new
