i would hate for that to happen. us government is rogue organization, it will destabilize btc if given a chance. best thing would be if governments cound not hold btc. second best is btc being distributed between governments, with no government being dominant

it does but not in a sence you would want

let me guess. next venezuellan government will gift half of all natural rewources, present and future, to the united states of america

becausez elections is a bug. they have to be replaced with random selection

are you chilean?

ahh. this is going to suck, but i eventually want to drive in China anyway

i ran a few searches, and general impression is that torrents (when properly configured) offer much more choice than emule

imagine us politics being reflected in bitcoin and us policies being actively pushed into btc community. what a happy ride it will be

separation of justice and state? separation of migration and state?

right now is too late. btc is slow, and I expect a lot of back and forth before the issue is resovled. this model will not work well if there is a crisis, which quantum computing will be. moreover, most likely first adaptirs of quantum computing will be governments, and we all know well how much they like btc competition. it will be used in kost disruptive way possible. better to think about this issue now. it will jot resolve itself by itself

quantum computers are coming. we should think about how to protect btc before the attack happens, because if we don't, the loss of reputation will be unrecoverable

he has 512gb of ram

man, i see all yourposts at once

there must be organiztions that take care of the provacy aspects. without organized resistance, there will be no resistance

eu went down the drain really fast. it's a real shame, i really like that part of the world. hope the eu collapses soon

i do agree about strong moral foundations. new testament is not perfect either as evidenced by church corruption, at least, during middle ages and beyond. that path has already been tries and failed. we must make a new one

the "west" tends to assymetrically preoccupy itself with real and imagined problems outside of it's jurisdiction at the expense of solving it's own issues

the "free market president" is sustained by us monetary help

you can't make other people like you

look. i see where you are coming from, but from where I am, what this looks like is complacency. bottom line is that as far as international consensus is concerned and as far as the law goes in every single country on earth, monetary self souvernty and capital protection against confiscation by inflation are illegal. it does not really matter, if you somehow make it more "illegal". governments are coming after bitcoin in the same manner as for every other freedom you have. glacially slow and deliberate

here are my 5 cents. first of all, government complience is not goal for bitcoin development. second of all, correct me if i'm wrong, but increased size of op return does not increase total max block size. if aomeone has use for that space and is willing to pay for it, so be it, let's not make good the enemy of the perfect

🤷 will try it

maybe, for managing a lot of servers, ubuntu will do, but every time I try to run this on my desktop, i totally hate it. arch is the way to go for desktop. gentoo is fun to play with, but ultimatly too much work for me

you can, for small amounts. that is not the point though. as technology, lightning is order of magnitude more complex than on chain transactions. this creates an opening for centralized services

downside is that useable ln clients are centralized. best is blink, and they have kyc. with best i mean, cheapest and easiest to use and mostly works

nah. in current cultural context, inclusivity is proactive. the future of bitcoin is blind to whatever your preferences are and whatever you look like. this is the way
