Ugh... You and I today, you and I.
Science can only explain what can be measures, a materialist approach. Even then, the models in place cannot explain all that's measured. They only hold for as long as they explain the current data.
The most clear example is when Newton explained classical gravity, and 250 years later Einstein expanded it to General Relativity. Now, the challenge is to reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics; the so-called theory of everything.
The thing about science is that it inherently admits that it will never be complete. It will never be able to explain everything. There will always be the next frontier. Otherwise, why would humanity pay trillions of dollars to expand it?
Just my two sats.
Every time I look at Monero, I get reminded by the VHS/betamax feud. The superior technology lost.
In Monero's case, the superior privacy technology lost. Tough shit. I think Bitcoin is superior in other ways (no tail emission, for example). I also think, bitcoin can be made equally as private if not more; but I'm no expert.
Today, I woke up early, and since it's a day off, I decided to go find my grandparents old house which they left in 2002. I was only 15 back then. I managed to find it.
It was a wierd mixture of nostalgia, mixed with longing. They have died since then. So, I couldn't help but pray for them.
Sure. But the rate of BTC issuance is already the lowest rate of all commodities. So, most of those 100 years will be just the tail end of issuance.
Fiat nominated debts are beside the issue. If you take a fiat loan today, you know it will be cheaper tomorrow. Interests on BTC nominated debts are not sustainable on the long terms. If you take BTC loan today, you know imagine (to use your own words) it will be exponentially more expensive to pay back.
The only way to pay it back properly is to decouple btc from fiat, and then we go back to my argument; given issuance rate halves every ~4 years.
Hah.. Replybots are using Generative AI now...
Infestation, I tell you.. As much as I love technology, there was never a technology I wished to fail more than GenAi
I feel attacked... #bookstr
Third large ammo depot blown up in Russia this week by Ukrainian drones.
It's not hard. Kill evil people and blow up their stuff.

There is something about the Russian Ukranian war that I always wanted to say. It's the first war in my lifetime in which both sides are not Muslims.
So it's the first time in my life, I get to sit on the sidelines and see that both sides are stupid for fighting it. Before, as in the case now with the Gaza Genocide, I felt deeply for one side and the other felt monstrously aggressive and unjust.
Even in the US's war on Afghanistan, I could understand the reactionary impulse of the US, but I couldn't understand the goal of the war. That goal was to control Afghanistan forever? Fix it forever? What the hell did they think.
Anyway, back to Russian-Ukrainian war. I can hear both sides, and I can understand why they fight the fight. I can say it's a war of comparable sides. I can say that all involved come from the same background, so it's their problem. I can say a hell lot of things and not have a care. It is war in which the only way it affects me is if it descends into a nuclear war and a nuclear winter.
Having said that, I like that the US is not able to manage the war properly.
Ah, there is a lot more to say, but I'll keep it to myself.
Saylor's comments on yield over BTC completely misses the point. As a Muslim, I consider avoiding Riba in all forms (interest, unproductive yield, and money printing... Etc.) as a paramount financial ideal.
When Saylor says BTC is yield bearing, he is trying to reestablish the Riba mechanism on BTC. He can, for sure, demand interest or yield, but what's most certain is that on the long run it is impossible to keep running. The ultimate case is that all 21M btc is lent out, where are lenders expecting more bitcoin to cover the yield?
In a soft money standard, interest is supported by fiat money printing. In a hard money standard, interest us pure usury that expects creating money out of nothing. The two ideals are just incompatible.
From what I understand, they auto-reply on anything that's posted on popular relays.. If you remove these relays, you should be good. We'll, at least until they infest your remaining relays 😅😅
You're all good, brother mine..
I took a look, obviously cannot confirm the claim. They do sell baseball caps and other material. I'm thinking to order some, and try it out. I'll report back if I do so.
However, my first thought is that you can easily use create protection using resin or maybe a metal-enfused plastic case with the material. Would need an artist, beyond my skills, but I know someone local who can do it.
Thanks for sharing.
Yay!

For now...
Okay, it's not just damus. A few others too..
On amethyst, you'll see a small spam icon and number next to the relay on the list. I'm not sure if it's because I reporter so many of them as spam, or is it crowdsourced..
Nope, didn't work... 😭
