A very good mango is magical but most of them here in the US are bad. Pineapple just needs to be ripe and it’s always good.

Right there with you.

Made it through about 30 minutes of him and Marty Bent. Balaji is an idea repackager for sure, he’s whole ‘exit’ thing was supposedly profound but is a foundational American idea and why we have states rights.

No clue why anyone would want to listen to him for 4.5 hours.

Nice to know liquid is moving forward - def glad it exists.

I think the Fedi team is doing stuff that will enable trustless compute like comms, file storage / sharing, etc.

I think Fedimint being an open protocol will attract developers and it being more trust-minimized is why there is hype.

To me, Liquid is for bigger orgs who are OK with trusting Blockstream and Fedimint for individuals or small groups that won’t be comfortable with trusting Blockstream.

Fedi has lightning interop. Fedimint the protocol is also open and has more than just monetary use cases. They’re pretty different so tough to compare, I think.

With Fedi the user chooses their federation which can be organized by people they trust, or they can start their own federation. With Liquid, you trust Blockstream and their partners. I haven’t paid attention to Liquid so it’s possible something has changed with their model.

I’m not sure you got my point. Living a life for others is rewarding and treating your time like a resource will leave you empty always wanting more.

You don’t have to wait for the afterlife to see benefits.

Trying to live by Christ’s example is the best way a person can live. You will flourish as a human the better you are at it - look to the saints to see endless examples of impoverished and persecuted people who are completely at peace and in love with the gift of existence.

Treating your life like the most precious resource will leave you unsatisfied until you die.
