#Bitcoin is incompatible with Tax and Debt Slavery.
Whether true or not, I always appreciated the Benjamin Franklin story where he did not pursue a patent for his Franklin Stove.
Perhaps #Bitcoin Plebs should eschew patents like Ben Franklin did.
Freely you received. Freely give.
For the Greater Good.
Labor/Work/Sacrifice went into the creation of every #Bitcoin in existence.
By requiring Work for all txs, #Bitcoin defends its Network from Free Riders.
My conviction in #Bitcoin is rooted in its solution to the Free Rider Problem of Money.
Free Riding is not The Way.
Hypothesis: Assuming minimal Govt interference and Objective Hard Commodity Monetary Standards, #Bitcoin’s Difficulty price signal can help us discover optimal free market prices for all goods & services without getting #Bitcoin in the hands of every person overnight.
A Member of Congress can verify their vote gets counted. Regular citizens can't.
Even if We the People could verify our votes, what happens if 51%% vote to round up the 49% & throw them into prison camps?
Winning an Election is not a Mandate from Heaven.
Study #Bitcoin.
#Bitcoin can be measured fairly and objectively against other objective measures + some subjective (but real) tastes, preferences, and time preference.
#Bitcoin cannot be measured objectively against purely Subjective Infinite Dollar Debt Slave Money.
In the absence of a Sound Monetary Unit of Account, honest and accurate Scales, Weights, Measures, and Ledgers become even more important to engage in Free and Fair Trade.
Study #Bitcoin .
Ignore the $ price voodoo pseudoscience.
Measure your #Bitcoin stack against your remaining life expectancy.
Compare/evaluate #Bitcoin S2F & Difficulty relative to Cattle S2F & Difficulty.
Measure #Bitcoin scientifically relative to objective reality & objective measures.
Fiat Dollar Maxis - I can't verify or truly own the thing I use to measure my wealth.
Bitcoin Plebs - I can verify & truly own the thing I use to measure my wealth.
On #Bitcoin, the solid rock, I stand
All other coins are sinking sand
#Bitcoin breathes the spirit of Scientific Discovery and Freedom back into Human Civilization by giving us Objectively measurable Money to improve the User Experience in the Game of Life.
Science is extremely incompatible with Slavery.
Science is extremely compatible with Liberty and Non-Coercion.
Throw the Slave Dollar Democracy in the trash.
Study #Bitcoin.
The only data that matters is if my Liberty is being respected or violated.
The Scientific Method is incompatible with Dictatorships, Elections, Democracy, Monarchy, and other garbage forms of governance.
The Scientific Method is highly compatible with a culture of Liberty, Free Speech, and Non-Coercion.
Good morning. Study #Bitcoin .
If you want to test out a proposed white hat/red hat BIP to #Bitcoin with the real intention of “upgrading” Bitcoin or making the OG chain a better protocol…
Then why not just hard fork and spin up your experiment/proposed changes kinda like Satoshi did to launch #Bitcoin ?
Then, if you get in enough reps and iterations to see how real world players play your new game…
Then maybe you can report back to the OG #Bitcoin chain and we can discuss a possible soft fork code change or something?
Why is that not the best testnet method?
Thanks for the feedback
Miners, Full Nodes, and Keyholders each have their own important role in making #Bitcoin what it is today.
Yes Full Nodes’ duties are governance oriented.
But Miners duties are way the rubber meets the road. They are the ones who channel energy into the whole system.
Nodes have no work to validate without the Miners.
And Miners have nothing to Mine without Full Nodes broadcasting the Keyholders transactions.
I see a beautiful harmony that emerges from different players in the game.
Miners, Full Nodes, & Private Keyholders run #Bitcoin cooperatively.
The Segregation of Duties of each constituency is essential to maintaining internal control & order over BTC's ledger.
It’s important to keep in mind that at least some of the system security of #Bitcoin emerges from the checks and balances created by Bitcoin’s various constituencies.
#Bitcoin adopting Drivechains (or any other BIP proposal to attract shitcoin behavior) would be like the NBA adopting MTV's Rock n Jock rules because the NBA was scared the 25 & 50 point shots were so much fun that Rock n Jock would supplant the true game of Basketball.
