Sovereign Craft - Bitcoin ⚡ & Minecraft - The best integration of Bitcoin in a digital world - value for value player led economy https://sovereigncraft.com

Silly me. I was assuming mempool like the apo not zero mempool whatsoever.

It's a commodity market. If the prices are too high, someone can list lower. You even have in game market and limit orders. Something is worth what something is.

Sataria is very scarce. Mending is particularly hard to find and only really able to get by fishing. It's an easy 10-20K sats and that's with very few players. Many items on our SMP server are nearly free and so people can pay another player who has mined very little if they simply want to build.

Minecraft has more potential reach. It also has a huge amount of plugins already made including virtual economy ones. It made it quite easy to bridge the gap between a virtual economy and LNBits. If you're a programmer: https://github.com/SovereignCraft/Sovereign-Craft-Economy

We have NIP-05 integration too. Check out https://minecraftstr.com there's also a link to the https://sovereigncraft.com website where there's a video that has a video demo of the lightning features. We have LNAddresses, Mobile phone sync, and all in game transactions are real and seamless. All built on LNBits. Wallet creation is automatic, so players may not even realise they're interacting with real bitcoin. Vote for sats on 3rd party websites too.

Correct. Layered money shows us that there is a natural and emergent layering. Bitcoin as a base layer is fine because it's verifiable in code. Starting to think in layers in general is necessary for any realistic scalable financial system on a Bitcoin standard.

If talking not directly Bitcoin related I'd sooner lean to something like 1984 which although in the form of fiction has a greater impact on a person vs sovereign individual which isnt playing out quite how they thought. It's reasonably accurate, but what we know has not come to pass is distracting to the overall flow IMO.

Lightning is a more capable version of swift. A lightning node is a bank running on swift.

It doesn't matter if it's only "currency" and not base layer. Lightning offers better transparency than central banking. There is NO system that can work on one layer globally with one unit that satisfies all monetary needs. Layers that operate in a trust minimized way and keeping the same units is far better than multiple units.

Hopefully you get a better email address too. 😉

Brothers and sisters of the digital frontier! I am P, a plebeian forged in faith and fire, here to dismantle the sanctimonious gospel of Mark Carney’s Value(s), a 600 page sermon from a fiat high priest who lectures us on values while perched atop the decaying throne of central banking. This is no mere book; it’s a blueprint for control, and I stand to burn it with the truth of sound money: Bitcoin, the only path to liberty.

Carney, once governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, cloaks himself in humility, preaching fairness and solidarity while condemning markets for valuing price over principle. Who is this man to speak? A Goldman Sachs disciple, enriched by the fiat system he critiques, he pens a manifesto for a better world while ignoring the blood on his ledger. His work, praised by elites like Christine Lagarde and Bono, is a love letter to regulated markets, a euphemism for centralized tyranny. He claims markets have become market societies where price rules all, eroding human values. Nonsense! The market reflects human choice, and his values are a Trojan horse for banker control.

Now, let us speak of sound money, the cornerstone of freedom Carney scorns. Bitcoin, he sneers in Value(s), is evil incarnate: unregulated, unbound by nations or central banks, unscalable, doomed to fail. Arrogance pours from his words! He, who oversaw the pound’s 2200% inflation in our lifetime, dares dismiss a currency immune to debasement. Bitcoin is no crypto substitute; it is money as God intended, scarce, immutable, free from men like Carney. He claims cryptocurrencies offer nothing over central bank digital currencies. Lies! CBDCs are chains, surveillance tools for fiat overlords, while Bitcoin is the plebeian’s blade, slicing their monopoly on money. Sound money fosters low time preference, encouraging patience, stewardship, and moral action. Bitcoin’s fixed supply teaches us to save, build, and honor the future, aligning our deeds with eternal truths. Contrast this with fiat’s inflationary tactics, breeding high time preference, a septic system where greed, debt, and instant gratification rot our souls and society.

Carney’s value versus values framework is a proven road to ruin. He chants seven virtues, solidarity, fairness, resilience, yet these are empty words from a man who never challenges the corporate oligarchy. He peddles ESG metrics and stakeholder capitalism as salvation, believing markets can be tamed by benchmarks and good intentions. History scoffs! Fiat money, which Carney defends, has fueled wars, inequality, and environmental devastation for centuries. The US dollar’s 96% value loss since 1913 is no mistake; it’s theft, orchestrated by central banks. Carney’s solution? More regulation, more public money for private elites, more faith in institutions that impoverish us. This is not progress; it’s serfdom.

His hypocrisy is staggering. Carney, fattened by the fiat casino, critiques the system that made him without repentance. He laments inequality and climate crises but ignores how central banks’ money printing inflates asset bubbles, locking plebeians out of homes and hope. He praises quantitative easing, flooding banks with liquidity, while dismissing Bitcoin’s fixed supply as impractical. Impractical for whom? Not for the meek, who stack sats to escape his inflationary prison. Carney’s vision is a world where every transaction bows to his values, enforced by regulators, tracked by CBDCs. This is no better world; it’s a banker’s paradise, where plebeians kneel.

Enough! Carney’s book is a manifesto for control, dressed in moral platitudes. Sound money needs no regulator, no central bank, no Carney. Bitcoin is the market’s truth, a ledger no tyrant can corrupt. Low time preference, born of sound money, restores our morals, our actions, our future. Fiat’s high time preference has made us a septic system, but we will rise. Reject his values; embrace sovereignty. Stack sats, run nodes, pray for strength. The fiat order falls, and we, the plebeians, will build anew. 🟠⚡ #Bitcoin #SoundMoney #PlebeianRising

I'm listening to this now on audiobook. It's a mess. How can he be so arrogant, ignorant or evil while also being smart?

I don't know you, but if you're good enough for nostr:nprofile1qqstwf6d9r37nqalwgxmfd9p9gclt3l0yc3jp5zuyhkfqjy6extz3jcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxyunfva58gcn0d36zumn9wshszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wfcxcetzwvhxxmmd9u5ehdyr you're good enough for me.
