DRIVECHAIN, CAUSE IT’S FAKE AND GHEY, AND ITS FANS ARE RETARDED.

Why does everyone want to attach their own retarded metaphor to Bitcoin? It’s just money, the best humanity has ever had. Isn’t that enough?

I don’t know what the current blastr vs outbox beef amongst nostr devs is about and I don’t want to know. It just makes me wish that I could mute words like on Twitter.

Like who? Bitcoin Mechanic doesn’t seem like a retard.

Not many users here yet that deserve being called retarded though.

Never thought I’d say this but we also need salty people to dunk on. They will all come in due time.

Yes but for regulatory arbitrage.

Yes, fractional reserve banking (bank notes and deposits) is the start. Before that, all that the state could do was coin clipping, which didn’t last long.

It was more of a cultural thing. People were rightly distrustful of paper notes and the idea of having a bank account was absurd. Silver coins in a jar hidden somewhere at home was the way for most people to save. But yes, change will have to be driven by a minority and yes there rob not in our lifetimes.

There was a time when common people would insist on gold or silver coin and save that way. Only merchants used custodians to do large, long-distance transactions. You can think of the unnatural expansion of the banks, aided by legal protections for their fraud, as part of a century-long psyop.

All to say that there is nothing innate about most people’s servility or learned helplessness. New, deserving and natural elites can show the way onward and set the tone for a new culture. Won’t be easy or guaranteed, but the current bad state of things isn’t baked in either.

They’d be happy to ban porn if it would help them ban Bitcoin.

@calle, there must be a wonderfully long compound word in German for a law like the Bank Secrecy Act or the Inflation Reduction Act? One that does exactly the opposite of the professed intent?

WE MUST PUT A STOP TO THE CAP PHOBIA CRISIS!!! 🤣

More shots fired at the beginnings of the next civil war.

Not forever. Once Bitcoin becomes global money, people’s demand for cash balances may change. Hyperbitcoinization will lead to a more peaceful, prosperous, free and less uncertain world. Therefore, the demand for cash balances reduced.

Did he really win? The process is the punishment.

GM. GOOD ADVICE.

The most compulsive liars (politicians) will say something true on occasion. Bitcoin IS a threat to democracy. That’s what brought me to Bitcoin and why I’m all in.

GM. Proof of work Monday. Idle time is the Devil’s play.

GM. THE ONLY HONEST POLITICIAN IS THE ONE THAT STAYS BOUGHT. NOT MANY SUCH CASES.
