Can never be too careful

I'm still grateful, it provides me with so much hope to know that we have a way out of this mess that everyone else sees as permanently broken

My happy boy and his ball, totally oblivious to the impending fiat apocalypse

Sure, could you point me to some data about how quickly this would make my node more expensive to run?

I'm genuinely curious about this and it's the first time I've thought about this problem.

Aren't individuals already disincentized from having excessive UTXOs because of transaction costs?

Been really enjoying this one so far, learning about all this ordinals BS

What is the problem with UTXO bloat?

*so far...

Now we are getting into a misunderstanding of how tax codes work

I don't have a great answer for the specifics, but I've always thought POW systems on the web could eventually all utilize bitcoins infrastructure rather than each using their own implementation. Especially with lightning now that POW has never been more transferable.

You could imagine a couple sat cost per post on certain relays?

It's a party!!! ๐Ÿ’œโšก๏ธ๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿฅณ

Why do a POW captcha when we already have the most robust instantiation of POW to ever exist inโšก๏ธ?

I think that's what has made Nostr so enjoyable for me. It's truly been a pleasure spending time here with all of you brilliant people that have done your own proof of work ๐Ÿ’œ

So many of my friendgroups complains are about costs of healthcare, insurance, and childcare.

Each and every one of these industries would be so positively impacted by less government intervention and more free market competion.... you can probably imagine how this gets me to bitcoin ๐Ÿ˜‚

Me trying not to bring up bitcoin in every single conversation I have with my friends

The more time I spend listening to of Vitalik and Charles Hoskinson the more of a bitcoin maxi I become.

Interesting, I'll give it a try!

That's currently where I am at, but every now and again I like to expose myself to more arguments against it, as it literally always strengthens my resolve. At the very least it allows me to argue against shitcoiners better if I understand their arguments more.

One of the exercises I like to do to strengthen my bitcoin resolve is to expose myself to the best arguments against it. I've yet to find a convincing one.

I know it's a bit of controversial question around these parts, but what are some of the best critiques that you've ever heard or read?
