I think I tend to agree with some Anons. Next year is a nice year for a major computer virus pandemics. I imagine 365, Azure and AWS totally and absolutely down. Well, Google, too, for falks to make it more believable.

Would that stop anything really useful? I mean, vegetables will continue growing, phones, Keet will go on working, nostr and bitcoin with some disruptions. Motivation to do business might deteriorate due to almost impossible to exchange digital fiat. So things might stop for a few months. But we have been through that. As it was with Covid, people will find ways to buy their stuff again after a while.

And this is where all the propaganda of the survivalists like Man In America nicely comes in. I always thought that it cannot go to waste, but the physical war scenario within USA and places like that just did not sound quite right.

This is crazy and this will not happen - exactly what I said about covid before covid.

I think you can safely make an exception this time. I think 2024 has all the potential to blow our minds away in so many ways.

Before I knew about bitcoin, I came to the same conclusion based on covid.

Nah, too pesimistic. Bitcoin has its advantages over gold, its incentives, and that is not to be underestimated.

I would say in the hyperbitcoinized places, where it is the main currency in fluctuation, 100% of families with stable electricity and internet at home will have their own Umbrel or similar lightning node at home.

Custodial will only be as backups (when you leave home and your node is suddenly down) or for convenience for small expenses to be coupled with Visa cards or something like that.

I don't know how to make this happen, but if 12 hours plus and minus new year's eve the price stayed at 3700 USD I would be most grateful :)

Sure, what better way to protect democracy if not by censoring populists. Populism is not democracy, is it?

I can only imagine these Satan's board meetings:

- So that populist threatens our power? What's that thing surfs love so much?

- Democracy.

- OK, then tell them that we have to censor populists to save their democracy!

No, but seriously, we need to understand this in detail. Is this space that gets highjacked by teddybears really necessary for anything serious? I dont want to be spending the energy and resources of my node on hosting teddybears. My node is for money. Teddybears are just fine in usb memory sticks or google cloud if that is what they want.

Following your example, teddybears traveling in the seat next to me is not a problem for me. My problem is that the seats are so big that I have no way to utilize them when traveling myself. And I am not allowed to share the seat with anyone and have to pay for it all myself. But those unreasonably rich (still) fiat guys have no problem to pay for several seats to push in their huge fancy teddybears. Can we make the seats smaller, so it would make no difference for me, but teddy bears would have to pay for even more seats?

I am not very technical, so maybe I don't know what I am talking about.

Else, like I said before, we should all get into airliner business and happily carry teddybears next to ourselves.

Well, problems do not solve themselves. Unless this is not much of a problem. Maybe if we all use the opportunity to start heating homes with miners, maybe high tx fees are more fun than a problem?

Did open source suddenly start winning everybody's hearts? Other than OpenAI and Google, nobody wants to remain evil anymore?

Interestingly, it turns out it always was upside down. Starting to stand on its feet for the first time ever, it seems.

I am waiting for the time when Alex will "start understanding #bitcoin ", and that will mean his fans will too, but my educated very important and well dressed NPC colleagues still won't 🤣😂. Crazy world.

I never thought fear of death was so critical in life.

I still hate that my ex-friends turned out to be so useless, but I guess it is better knowing it than not. Thanks Covid, and thanks Q, Satoshi Nakamoto, and whoever is running this entire show for taking us all through this painful realization. Although, being so powerful and smart, you could have known about me before and simply come and tell me. I would have believed you. I guess I am still pissed that I have / had to go through all this mess, although I am still grateful. Better this than nothing, if that is the only alternative.

Actually, other than traumatology, diagnostics and some parts of odontology, all areas of medicine are the same. The only difference is that doctors and pharmacists in those areas are usually not aware about the damage they are doing.

This is obvious but not much spoken about. Easy to auto-translate to whatever language you like.

And since we cannot get wild meat (except hunters), at least always get wild fish, not farmed.

Nah, it's a good dessert. If you drink this instead of water any time of the day every day when you are thirsty, you are significantly reducing your natural resilience to cancer.

I hope if possible, core devs will eventually remove possibility or amend incentives against inscriptions.

Saying dont mine them if you dont like them is like saying these days dont buy anything made in communist countries if you do not like communism.

It is not the mining I don't like, I don't like that others mining it raises fees for my transactions.

I am no fan of democracy. I choose my ways based on universal truths, and if something stands in my way - I will remove it if I have the power needed, no matter who or how many want what.

I get it that ordinals attract some losers to bitcoin that would not be attracted otherwise. I will believe this is necessary as some sort of a tactical move. But I hope they will not get to profit from this eventually. I hate when accidental fly-bys get to profit from virtuous things they do not even understand, or often even fight for the opposite evil stuff.

But you do not hate that you are told that there must be halvening and that 21 mln is the limit and that double spendind tx will not be accepted, do you?

💯

I don't speak against my beliefs with them. I literally ban them from discussing stuff they do not understand and are not informed well enough, and they always are not the things we gathered for, so it is easy for me to do. At the same time, like Elon, I am greener (in a tree hugging sense) than all of them added together, so they don't know what to think about me. They feel something is different, but are unable to fingerpoint it, so are just afraid of me.
