Yet people use Bitcoin to buy stuff online.

Good morning, Nostr!

Happy Celebration, happy long weekend, whatever applies!

(From the series "Postcards from an imaginary place" by Roberto Brunetti)

this is the only correct way

Having traveled throughout that specific area, English is very much the everyday language of all the residents.

What would I need to note here to get some zapps flowing??

Are you blaming the gun for the intent of the person who uses it?

That is giving credit to the quills used by Shakespeare

Wait is it actually true you need to kyc to jerk off in France or is this parody

While I feel for the people in other countries who are suffering, it is not my responsibility to eliminate it.

As far as the two misfits go, they need a toddler timeout.

Besides this question is not even remotely relevant. Not even the tantrum twosome are responsible for the situation in Gaza.

Past administration definitely but the sins of the administrations more than 70 years ago do not matter. There has been plenty of time and chance to separate from those bad choices. Unfortunately almost every time a chance has been given “we” have doubled down on those bad decisions.

It is time to break the cycle.

Lol Almost 100% of Americans have no idea this place exists.

We also used to drill into people's head because they had a headache and we needed to let their demons flow out 😂

But I'm sure leeches have uses to improve blood flow in some cases.

GM, at what age do you think it's reasonable for someone to start drinking coffee?

What's in Vegas later this month?

The robot of humanity?

It looks like it’s moving backwards 🙂

Why Monero cannnot be money...

1) By definition, money is the most salable good within an economy and only one money exists in an economic community. All other traded goods are barter trades.

2) and currently for the world economy dollars are the closest thing we have to money (more saleable than gold, yes), and each country has their own fiat as money in that community - maintaining one money per economic community.

3) and if bitcoin fails to become money or becomes money and then fails, no digital token can replace bitcoin as world money because nothing else can achieve digital scarcity (including Monero), we'd be back to barter, and then back to fiat of some sort for each county. For the world, we'll probably be back to bartering fiat monies of each countries, and countless competing ßhitcoîns.

4) and in the presence of Bitcoin, which will become world money, Monero needs to compete with and defeat Bitcoin (excluding Bitcoin dying because that cause kills all digital tokens)... Another way of saying this is that Monero needs to actively outshine Bitcoin (and everything else), not hope for Bitcoin to fail.

5) The natural force that propels a token to become money is the accumulation of the token because of the confidence that others want to accumulate it (read that again slowly). This force starts small, and is strongest the more the token is leading in the race amongst all the other tokens/objects. Bitcoin had a massive head start and now nothing comes close, it's too late. Nothing can overtake it. It can only fail.

More on point #3 (failure of Bitcoin)...

If we fuck it up, say by tinkering with it to try to achieve some lower objective (besides trying to end central banking, the #1 goal), eg falling for the narrative that everyone needs to be their own retail bank, thinking Bitcoin's purpose is to end the very useful function of banking, then Bitcoin theoretically could fail. In that super unlikely scenario, all tokens will compete, and Monero's supposed privacy is not giving it any special advantage, especially given the 15 or so previous hard forks, and the existence of other privacy coins.

In conclusion, you could enjoy bartering Monero like a hot potato (MoE) to resist the state, one of many tools, not a silver bullet, but not accumulate it (thinking it's going to become money), because that will lead you straight to poverty like every other shitcoiner is going to experience. You will just use it like any other tool, say VPN (No need to save in VPN subscriptions!).

And don't promote it, because that slows bitcoin adoption, and makes you a ßhitcoin scammer.

What about them?

Lineker has been one of the most despicable establishment shills ever. Didn't expect to see that from him.

says who?

The band never used satanic symbolism at the beginning. It was more about the blues influenced rock, and raw energy. They were around 20 years old. Just wanted to play and get famous.

Once they got into the music industry that's when they satanic symbolism started, through Jimmy Page. The music industry execs encourage this kind of stuff but of course they don't tell you the truth. They suck you in and trap you. They trick you into it by saying it's cool and edgy. They have all kinds of weird parties and it may seem harmless but the more deeper you go eventually you can't get it. It's a cult.

They made the records on purpose. The band members might of thought it was funny or cool, and went along with it but the music industry knows exactly what they are doing.

Just follow the PDiddy saga. The music industry normalized a older man hanging out with a underage Justin Bieber, it's seen as cool and fine because they are both celebrities, but the truth is they molested Justin Bieber and trafficked him.

The whole music industry is disgusting and the symbolism is part of their cult.

It's not ridiculous at all. You will do what the record label tells you to do, but in fact most band members won't care because of their age.

Many of the artists are young when they get famous. They do not care what the record producers do. As long as they get paid and play music that's all the care about.

Do you think a band member will care about a symbol here, another symbol there on their album? They won't care.

What do you think will happen if someone does make a fuss about a symbol. They signed the record contract and can't do nothing about it.

The band didn't even have any satanic symbolism before they got famous. It started after they signed on into the music industry. That's how it always happens.

I shouldn't of used the word Hollywood. Hollywood is film and tv but sometimes overlaps.

The correct word is the music industry.

They were signed to Atlantic Records, which later became part of Warner Music Group.

Warner also owns labels that signed artists accused of satanic themes, like Marilyn Manson, Cardi B, and others.

So the band itself, the members might not of been actively aware what the label was doing, and they normally don't have control of everything but the record labels know what they are doing.

That's what they call selling your soul to the music industry. If you don't add some satanic symbolism the you can't progress.

This isn't about whether they believe in satanism it's about pushing that type of content to the youth. It's wrong.

It's all done on purpose to subliminally push Satanic culture. Hollywood is all disgusting in that way.

Everyone should always point this out because Hollywood and that type of music needs to disappear.

I'm not going to lie, Hollywood makes extremely catchy music so I understand why people get addicted to it.

Never actually seen you with a shirt on.

Ask me Anything 😅

I am laaaaazy to do 2 dishes ..😂

What things will they trade? The UK out sources it's manufacturing to china.

I didn't derail anything. The entire premise is based on the answer to the question I first asked. "How do you reduce spam on the blockchain?"

You may not have an answer to that question and that's fine. But the position you hold (reduce spam) absolutely depends on an answer to that question, which in reality doesn't have a good answer.

No one has suggested that. I've never suggested just hodling. You have to spend money if you want to make money.

I just explained it though?

No, fixed hard currency does not allow for economic growth.

Debt does.

We discussed this already

Let’s not have moot side arguments trying to prove how much we know.

For me, as a node runner, you have to convince me to run your code.

If one side is open and the other side is closed, I only hear one side and my choice is forced.

This, for me at least, is the “core” of the argument.
