NEW: BlackRock aims to be the world's largest cryptocurrency asset manager by 2030, targeting $50M in digital asset AUM.

What are you suggesting?

That you cannot drive a turbine from steam that was boiled by the radiation from radioactive material?

Also, they don't 'create nuclear power'.

They utilize the deterioration of radioactive materials to create a massive heat source.

Huh? Balance the power load? It is the power generator. No different than coal. Coal is burned, the heat creates steam, steam powers generators.

I toured one the nuclear reactor towers and system in Arizona (Palo Verde) a few years ago. It very much creates power and exists.

Is this some kind of conspiracy theory? Like what the hell are you talking about?

I don't know what that means.

There very much are nuclear reactions that are used to create massive heat, boiling water and then using the steam to power turbines and generators.

This is referred to as nuclear power, lol

thinking about of a lot of new bitcoin merch

produced with my 3 D printers

will see what comes up during next week

They didn't have reactors online. So there cannot be an uncontained meltdown like the others. Right?

You need to learn more imo

I have been reunited with the turkish pizza 🥰

Mate it’s ok if you don’t want to spend a tiny, almost insignificant fraction of your bitcoin at a business which has gone out of their way to accept it and thus enable you greater variety outside of the fiat system.

It’s also ok to be gay.

Hello yarrow my old friend. #bloomstr

The Boomer world order cannot end soon enough.

Name something more delicious than steak tartare.

These would be so much more fun to have fun with in the freezing winter

To this day, there are still people claiming that we think spam filters can stop 100% of spam.

I have made mistakes in this discussion because I'm so often technically out of my depth.

But I don't want to be doing this thankless, miserable fight if I have to lie to myself to maintain my stance.

So you can argue that I'm doing it for clout or followers or that it's somehow related to my paycheck from OCEAN all you want (it isn't) - but far more simple an explanation is that spam-apologists will just go along with those they perceive to be experts and never bother thinking things through.

Otherwise how could anyone possibly be making that argument?

Like I'm not aware that > 80 byte returns are of course consensus valid and thus can and do end up in blocks?

I see it from giants in the space, people with write access to Core. They have genuinely never considered the role that spam filters have played and created this absurd standard where filters must be as effective as consensus or be discarded one-by-one no matter how much the community pushes back against them for doing it.

Trying to point out how crazy this is gets you relentlessly mocked (yes obviously a lot of pro-filters are relentlessly mocking Core and their apologists right back) or more revealingly called "bots" or "LLMs". This happens in "official" statements even and formal write-ups about the decision making process behind merging 32406. People disagreeing with Core are spam/bots/Nazis and LLMs.

Honestly, many accusations have been thrown at Core devs for being - while comp sci experts - lacking in necessarily related fields like economics in particular.

But it isn't that - what's lacking is genuinely the ability to look at your own motivations and ask yourself if you're truly being honest with yourself or lazy in your assessment in an effort to cherry pick whatever is necessary to end up back in alignment with those with the most influence and control.

Everyone is aware of the psychology at play here, and it's why - in any conflict where you don't have a vested interest - people naturally side with the underdog.

This is why when people completely outside the loop of Bitcoin hear some story like "Hijacking Bitcoin" and they so readily believe it because underdogs are logically almost always fighting for something out of principle while the people they oppose have power that they wish to maintain.

No this doesn't make the underdogs correct in every circumstance. Stubbornness and narcissism play a role there too unfortunately.

Regardless, it's a sensible heuristic.

Why is a pool with < 1% of the hashrate trying to change the way mining works almost entirely fighting some un-winnable war against a smug, entrenched elite with 98% market share?

Yes it can be nefarious, yes I can be a fed or I can just be wrong.

But I'm not. And it's hard for me to see people who want to antagonize anti-spammers as anything more than cowards supporting that complacent status quo that clearly is leading us down the path of eroding what makes Bitcoin unique vs your average crypto.

Beat the meat 🥩

“They are a web design agency” who have recent started a bitcoin treasury strategy on British exchanges. FCA really doesn’t like Bitcoin, so waiting for these two things to meet!

Yeah. It doesn't say they can't be arrested or anything. Rather they cannot be detained to slow a vote. After the vote, they can absolutely be arrested however.

Would you listen to this Bitcoin Podcast?

Not unless they are on their way to an official vote.

No one is above the law, in theory, , surely?

That's why I don't have any stocks. I understand bitcoin, a peer to peer electronic cash system. I don't understand stocks.

okay that makes sense now , so not just general purpose but more specific.

I haven't used twitter in a long time, or X as it were

so if Nostr had an LLM, people would opt to use that instead?

I just broke my tongue trying to pronounce that 😆

Lez dooit.

I just wouldn't do the walls. I'd make it open, and try to maximize mobility. Mobility, IMO, is the first pillar of liberty. Its definitely the most important thing on a battlefield. Also walls are easily repurposed to cage the populace, regardless of their ostensible intent.

Yes in cake wallet

Well, I don't think the EU will mow you down as you cross the boarder, yet.

Many US States have "Romeo & Juliet" laws which create an exception to statutory rape laws when the pair are close in age
