Most podcasts about Bitcoin are really boring, they are like chats with friends, they are superficial and the information they give could be condensed in just 5 minutes.

How liberal democracy works.

❌ Can’t vote for “no-one”

❌ Can’t vote for a different system

❌ Can’t vote for a monarch

❌ Can’t vote for fascism

✅ Can vote for socialism

✅ Can vote for communism

What a strange coincidence that WWI saw the downfall of European monarchies, the Bolshevik Revolution, the introduction of income taxes, of global central banking and fiat currency, and the Balfour declaration..

And we all just ended up with the “least worst type of government” who all now happened to have central banks in charge of the money supply..

The world works in mysterious ways!

Google thanks you for running these myers-briggs online tests. They already knew your personality type, but it's always good to confirm.

With private channels, amp and mmp you mitigate this type of attack.

Evidently the privacy in Lightning has its shortcomings, the biggest danger is the logs of the big LSPs if you are not routing the payment.

I think some of you don't understand that Monero still leaves a trace on the blockchain, Lightning transactions leave no trace and are layered encrypted just like Tor routing.

There is a trace of opening and closing channels but in no case do they determine who you paid or who paid you.

In combination with swaps or coinjoins for opening channels they give a really high privacy, although it is still not perfect.

Here’s why banning children from working is pure evil:

I grew up in a poor neighborhood where many families were even worse off than mine. Sometimes, when I looked for my neighbor friends to go play, they weren’t home because they were working at the supermarket three blocks away, bagging groceries at the cashier line. I joined them a few times because there wasn’t much else to do, but for them, it was something a bit more serious—it was a small but important source of income that they gave to their mothers. It was easy work, and customers appreciated it and tip them for their help.

Then, one day, someone decided to prohibit all forms of child labor. A few years later, the streets were full of kids cleaning car windows, others tried playing violin, singing on the sidewalks or simply asking for money, activities that noone find valuable.

The sense of pride my friend once had from earning a few pesos by providing a useful service had now been replaced by a naturalized shame of relying on pity from strangers.

Why do you believe that eating three meals and day in two snacks is what humans are supposed to do for optimal health?

If you don't believe this, great, what changed your mind from what they taught you your entire life?

You guys are only now figuring out that the state hates untraceable money?

They delisted Monero because they can not track it. They allowed Bitcoin because they can. And now they delist LN, the one technology that was supposed to be Bitcoins saviour as a medium of exchange.

They are not against assets they can tax. They ate against money they don't know about and hence can not control.

This is the fight people were talking about 10 to 15 years ago in the space. For the last 6 years or so Monero was fighting alone. But now it seems Bitcoin and Monero will need to join forces to accomplish the goals of freedom money.

Looking at how the EU operates this won't be an isolated case. Exchanges have little tools at the moment for classifying Lightning Network transactions. Blockchain Analysis companies might want to bolster they can, the reality is that most are avoiding the subject (when talking to/educating their clients). I can only imagine that this will expand among more countries/jurisdictions

Please stop referring to them as communists. Leftists yes, but communism looks differently.

it is a semantic discussion. almost esoteric. i gave you the common definition of inflation. in short:price increases of most goods and services. it is what is commonly used by 99% of people. they go to a market, are shocked how much their grocery costs and they have to pay for their food 100% more than 3 years ago. official sources lie about the rate of inflation. in fact it is 3-10 times higher.

early bitcoiners used btc as a currency. there are currencies in the world which had much lower inflation than the usd and lower inflation than btc: the swiss franc for example.

bitcoin influencers always propagate the wrong idea that all prices go down measured in bitcoin. in the last 3 years the purchasing power of bitcoin went down 50% and the prices increased 100% on average measured in bitcoin.

new influencers dropped the idea of btc money and brought up the completely flawed idea of store of value. btc lost 50% of its value (=purchasing power) in the last 3 years.

inflation is the sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.

it comes from 'inflare' which is latin meaning to blow up.

in terms of bitcoin prices have blown up in the last 3 years. everything is 100% more expensive measured in bitcoin than 3 years ago.

today bitcoin buys only 50% of the same house it bought 3 years ago.

everything became more expensive measured in bitcoin
