About to send an international wire transfer, and begin a multi day adventure of seeing when it arrives, if it gets held up, where it might get held up, etc.

It sure would be nice if it could settle in an hour or so. If only some tech could fix this. :/

Nashville is a great place.

When does this guy stop. This shit will never be decentralized.

Problem is that, he knows it wont. He just wants to make money no matter who’s gonna pay for it.

#Bitcoin calls fiat’s bluff.

Drivechains

Alright people, we are playing a game of chess here. The one thing, the absolute one thing, we can't do is give up the king. To give up the king, in my humble opinion, is to mess up the base layer. This mistake would disrupt the delicate incentive structure that ensures sound money. That sound money pegs the extremely fragile credit markets and out-of-control G7 policymakers that are creating clown world with their CB fiat policies.

We don’t need the sound, pegged, money to move fast, we don’t need the money to do smart swoopty things, we just need it to be pegged, immutable, and digitally sailable to actually stop the madness of clown world.

By introducing a whole lot of technical complexity to the base layer and potentially screwing with the incentives all so we can connect to a bunch of centralized shitcoin projects is like playing offense with the king when you’re down 7 pieces and the other player still has their entire back row at their disposal.

A. Why the rush!?

B. Why not just go use Monero if you need that level of anominity in your transactions. Why do you have to have it in a wrapper via drivechains?

C. Why risk the king without deep understanding and testing of the technical risk and potential change to incentives?

The beauty of Bitcoin is you can build it and softfork it, and we’ll let the community vote with their nodes. BUT, I for one, have no use for drivechains (that doesn’t mean everyone is like me). And as a result, I will not be updating my node and running any attempted “secret” softfork updates by the miners.

Richard Heart has been sued by the SEC for securities fraud

He was ordered to remove it. Makes sense, probably not best to publicize your strategy.

Hello nostr.

Between Twitter moving to a dystopian hell-hole with the X re-brand or everyone talking about World Coin, I just can't do it today.

I need to be on Nostr WAY more often. Sorry to bring it up here...

We are having a panel discussion about NOSTR at Bitcoin Park. From a tech standpoint what are some of the most important areas to cover moving forward?
