Man... this talk following nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 is an absolute disgrace.
How many of the government scum who potentially want to "unperson" Bitcoiners that nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 was eluding to during his speech do you think are attending, or perhaps even speaking at #Bitcoin Amsterdam? It's some number above zero.
Amazing talk Snowden, thank you for EVERYTHING you've done.
#Bitcoin #Amsterdam has been pretty good so far 👍
For me? #softwar hands down. Nothing else even comes close.
Main takeaways.
1. Bitcoin is literally the most efficient and most powerful form of power projection, even more so than nuclear bombs. The amount if power (watts) delivered by a nuclear bomb can only be scaled so high before it becomes impractical in terms of lives lost and destruction (mutually assured destruction). Where as Bitcoin can theoretically scale infinitely in the amount of power it is projecting.
2. All animals including and especially humans have to use physical power to determine their intraspecies pecking order. Their is no substitute for physical power competition for establishing our pecking order in a systemically secure way.
3. All animals have strong instinctual urges to avoid intraspecies fratricide. Bitcoin gives humanity a way to compete using a theoretically infinitely scalable amount of physical power over the Bitcoin protocol and it's highly valuable underlying resource. This suggests that humanity can maximize both safety and security simultaneously by using electronic digital antlers to compete and settle their nation state level disputes while at the same time they are scaling the amount of physical power (watts) they are mutually benefiting from the increased security of the protocol. Ensuring the freedom of information flow across cyberspace.
4. Instead of a nation adopting a policy of mutually assured destruction to decrease their BCRa which inevitably results in a bounded prosperity trap, they adopt a policy of mutually assured preservation to decrease their BCRa, that results in a united pack of power projectors and an infinitely prosperous organization.
War (physical power competition) is a completely natural process that virtually all animals utilize in order to establish their intraspecies dominance hierarchy. It has been evolved as a highly effective means of allowing resources to be vectored towards its strongest and most intelligent members with the overall imperative of making life itself more capable of countervailing the entropy of the universe. The only real problem here is that we've developed weapons that are so destructive it could potentially make the power competition useless if we are unable to determine clear winners and losers.
This is why humanity needs digital antlers.. this is why humanity needs to adopt softwar.
It's called domestication and it's the apex of predation.
Seems like the price of a used unit. It's an older model so that wouldn't be too surprising.
The softwar is the same struggle between abstract and physical power humanity has been engaged in for thousands of years.
The Bitcoin protocol is a brute-force physical power digitization protocol.
The real answer is physical power.
Military is already doing it.
nostr:note1sceylml0sqxrgpeuargrx9khcq3gp6q8k87xfk8qjzge8xxsezzsgg3kvnMan has viewed himself as god-like and superior to nature for a few thousand years at this point.
How does Bitcoins network ensure the people running it don't bypass its requirements or enforce its security?
Who says functioning code hasn't already been implemented. Bitcoins network PROVES this concept is totally valid.
