The solve to the Byzantine general's problem creates a Byzantine general's problem for fiat central bank pieces of paper. It's brilliant.
nah dude. it's spring time. wtf you smoking
American exceptionalism exists in Bitcoin. The US Constitution is unlocked in new ways on a Bitcoin standard.
Using ideas set up 250 years ago Bitcoin can be bootstrapped in the US. Freedom, liberty and personal property rights are so engrained in our culture, these are baseline ideas.
5400 acres holy cow. that's a lot of ground.
You might want to look into this Bitcoin thing, get a little bit in case it catches on.
the growth of the alternative Bitcoin system is a process and we're early to it.
People will circle jerk around the idea that the US is a failing state going the way of the USSR. What they fail to realize is that the US is the culture leader, we are the city on a hill for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Bitcoin needs the people in the United States to bring the torch of liberty forward by taking money out of the hands of government. No one else can do it.
This is the first I'm hearing about bluesky
KYC aml is bad for Bitcoin. New users get turned off by the immediate barrier of providing a massive amount of information about themselves.
This is definitely fixable at the local level with peer to peer. Layer 2 self custodial won't be KYC, so it's ideal for a couple of reasons.
Orange pill delivered to a neighbor. 7500 sats delivered in the blink of an eye.
Make these moments happen more often. They are like sparks off a flint. Not every spark will start a fire, but one of them will.
Damn straight fiatjaf. The people, us, are far more powerful than any government.
We have to start acting like it.
Love will win, not fear. When Bitcoiners have more love for the public than the government, we're winning. This comes through providing a superior product or service or community. Something the government cant do.
"we heard your developed a software for people to say whatever they want...that's illegal"
That sentence will probably come out of someone's stupid fucking mouth at some point.
Bitcoin has a lot of people with some serious issues with KYC. My hope is that next adoption wave we get the wealth is so widely distributed that the Federal Government simply doesn't have the resources to stop 99% of what is going to move Bitcoin forward.
The federal government is already losing, but the losses will accelerate.
Use it in these amounts at these stores. definitely pay a tax every time you do. If you don't make sure you tell us and pay up.
Not only are poocoiners hindering Bitcoin because they are trying to ride the coat-tails on this new protocol. They are also dragging us down on opposition to the existing system.
imagine how much stronger Bitcoin and the things we fight for would be if all the poocoiners dropped their game of hot potato with each other. the actual defense of Bitcoin would grow an order of magnitude stronger.
Bitcoin needs everyone we can get fighting for what really matters. Maybe the continued attacks against Bitcoin from the state bring more poocoiners on board.
Happy Friday, GM NOSTR.
Japan's problem is a US problem. Japanese businesses, FX hedgers, pension funds etc are forced sellers of us government bonds. As the yen weakens it's affecting the long end of the yield curve here in the US.
