anything built with or on top of payment channels needs to be written off completely. lightning is a scam to get you to tolerate custodians more and more. custodial scaling goes in the trash can. bankers get the rope. if you don't do this, you don't have a revolution, you have a stupid toy that will just burn your fingers for the thousandth time. please stop this nonsense now.
I want to like some things about cashu, but the fact that it requires total trust is a show-stopper. there is a way to rebuild cashu and make it behave more like a zk-rollup. it would be completely trustless. I think that would be really cool. it requires another soft fork.

UTXO sharing solutions are better than payment channel solutions because they have a better non-custodial UX and they do a better job of enabling more people to be sovereign at the same time. anything like rollups or drivechains. ark might even work. I have seen people call ark a pseudo-rollup. none of these solutions are really worth pursuing without a soft-fork. there are several ways to enable better UTXO sharing.

"there are no solutions, only tradeoffs" is a lie written in bumper sticker language by parasites expecting me to tolerate banking and middlemen and to hand over my sovereignty an inch at a time. these parasites are the same people who deliberately try to sabotage discussion of anything that would enable UTXO sharing solutions. adam back has been observed trying to do this in his own free time.

Are you saying to use features of the main chain so? Also why would Adam Back launch liquid or do these options still need more research?
Lol, I will agree bitocoin can be a masturbatory goon cave. Better than the real world (pedofile CBDC cage)
Itās not hard to use, you should look up Blitz wallet (also on my channel āŗļø). I work a trade 9-5 and figured how to use it
Bitcoin takes time too, I donāt expect e cash or any of those things to take off for a while. They do solve them problems, their CURRENT failure in adoption does not prove their innate failure.
Yes
Perfect
Itās so profound man š I know people say you come for NGU but stay for the revolution but itās so true
The world before us no longer matters and the world awaiting us will like no other. Tick tock next block
Cheers, I donāt have many original thoughts on BTC but that one was my own
It misses the point
Even though privacy is important and monero is proof of work, the arms race was to build a trustless network.
Bitcoin won this
Even though the problem with banking is trust and privacy, the key one is trust and that is the amazing feat of Bitcoin.
Trust can only improve over time (even in your own life with other people) so no one can catch bitcoin (as in even if BTC 2.0 is better, it canāt make up the time lost)
Building a coin thatās focus is privacy wonāt save the world. Building one based on trust (or the lack of) will
Bitcoin also has many solutions to improve privacy and anonymity.
Monero at all times is susceptible from a 51% miner attack from bitcoin
Check out my video on the topic, see link below
Bitcoin Is Free Speech - The Decline of Free Speech in Ireland
#Ireland #Bitcoin #FreeSpeech #EnochBurke #GaryNoone #COVID19
What device is that youāre using š
Deported to Allah lol nice one
Iāll meet you at that
All Iāll say is they are what they are and we may have much worse to come. They might be Disneyland compared to us if things continue. I guess thatās apart of my point too.
I donāt think weāll descend to anything literally because of BTC but only time will tell
I wouldnāt frame it like that
Thereās a cathedral of the The Science that allowed COVID to happen and itās lockdowns and it opens up the door to so much more in the future now
I will say that Iām from Ireland and we had the longest lockdowns in Europe and the highest vax rates so it was rather apparent here
Idk what you disagree with exactly? Iām not vaxxed either as are many
I will definitely watch but their election style is what I was referring to not just simply a label!
Fair point
Thatās not really true either. Big pharma, the EU and the WHO told me how to live. And people worship these institutions like a religion. Hence Covid
Ah I get you now
Well this is the thing about religion. People who believe in Islam will be free to enter states that uphold sharia law as they due wish. Idk if thisāll be genuinely sustainable given what sharia law entails but nonethelss
Yes El Salvador is called that but that doesnāt make it true. The democratic republic of Congo is by no means a functioning democratic republic
I will change what I said to a great term I heard - itās called monocracy- the perfect marriage of democracy and monarchy turbocharged by Bitcoin. That is what is in effect in El Salvador. I actually have a full video on it from my YouTube if you see the link below
Ye idk, we had Covid for 2 years so whatever orthodoxy were breathing here is bad too
I think you missed my 30 years point or maybe not. I donāt mean people will have saved for 30 years but theyād have 30 years of personal savings whereas now most people have 30 years of personal debt ? Idk if Iām being clear
I donāt think western democratic republics exist anymore and theyāre all slowly devolving due to inflation and oligarchy.
Minarchy isnāt a utopia as itās in full swing in El Salvador.
I donāt agree their religion is a mind virus more than any other but thatās more a conversation about religion
I donāt believe in democracy to be solution to anything really as I think it leads to oligarchy (as evidenced in the USA). I think minarchy is the way.
Bitcoin will bring us into a world in which people have 30 years of savings instead of 30 years of debt. The best bastion against the state. One figure with minimal power will act as a watch man as individuals maximise freedom under the price mechanism binding society
What context ? The Islam part or the authoritarian part of the country (Bashar Al Saad chemical weapons and manufacturing amphetamine)
I dont have a problem with the Islam part as its a religion in which people choose to opt into
I think itās a divisive issue for one reason and thatās:
One manās freedom fighter is another manās terrorist
I think many Bitcoiners recognise this and choose not to focus on it. The Islamic world have been the pisspot of the American war machine but ofc there are radicals there
Bitcoin is halal and Muslims should embrace it and perhaps theres some Bitcoiners who think these countries get what they deserve.
I also think Bitcoiners tend to prefer to focus on their own country, like any citizen should š«”
The most friction? Good question because Iāll try focus on one thing because itās easy to rant on 100 things
Probably the breakdown of community if I had to pick one thing because a lot stems from it
Guys do drugs and are horrible which put girls off. I think thereās an equivalent female incel culture, they arenāt weird and hairy. Theyāre usually pretty happy and have just blocked having men in their lives. Focus on their job and chill.
People spend too much time on social media inflating or deflating their perception of reality or themselves. Thereās ofc porn too
Drinking and running a business is more expensive so running a bar which is a social hub is more off putting for consumer and business owner
Drinking in the field has been replaced with coke in the back your local.
Iām an autistic bitcoiner so I admit Iām sort of insufferable but thereās not really an easily accessible social scene anymore.
I can go on but ye, Bitcoin is a safe haven for my sanity but it also amplifies how shit everything is. A vicious cycle šš
