Donât underestimate the fact that all market prices are spoofed.
âIt doesnât matter who shot JFKâ
âIt doesnât matter if we landed on the moonâ
âIt doesnât matter if 9/11 was an inside jobâ
Same vibes.
Satoshi did not let go of his âpowerâ, he still holds millions of coins.
It matters because if the world found out it was the US intelligence state that invented it, it might be challenging to achieve global adoption.
âTalk to my handâ is really a public irl mute button though
Seems like everyone is talking about how the intelligence community created Bitcoin lately and none of the influenceoors will answer the question directly nostr:note18zh35cfna035k0z4emwl0r4vlu2jhz5hn33ql5ldg9rzws07p7js09af36

Why? If I check that the mint is available, and then send you coins, and you say âI canât redeem these, therefore I wonât give you eggsâ then I just redeem them myself and cancel the transaction.
If the mint is not available to him, the seller simply need not hand over the goods.
And btw this is why I think itâs totally probable for most ecash to settle via lightning to the receiverâs preferred lightning provider (whether self-hosted, blind mint, or custodian) before goods are released. In this case, ecash issuance is just the method to bring a great degree of privacy to what would otherwise be a custodial relationship
I have always been told, but recently learned for myself - boats are the ultimate shitcoin
Wake me up when Uptober starts
Also that the bitcoiners here do not actually have a whole lot of bitcoin đ
I expect most ecash transactions will be redeemed as a Lightning transfer anyway, which as you said resolves the ambiguity in most cases
If you want essentially the same assurance with strict ecash though, you can just code your wallet to check for a connection with the mint before unblinding, right?
And this strand of hair goes a little haywire but yes it would require someone pointing this out, if you just scrolled and glanced youâd probably never realize this wasnât real 
I canât speak to the first one
But the second one is not that different from the days of writing checks or the risk of counterfeit bills or the rare times when the credit card machine goes down
Social responsibility will always be part of the equation in any economy. Trust minimization is a good goal, trust elimination is a pipe dream
Thereâs still trust involved in the eggs not being rotten, for example
