that is gross

I say don't get the jab, don't eat seed oils, don't eat sugar it causes cancer. they say "oh everything causes cancer" no. only things created after 1900 cause cancer.

money is broken. everything is because money. every heart attack is due to inflation (cheaper ingredients, seed oils to disguise higher prices)

are you mark moss?

open source means there's no owner to begin with. we can all be owners since it doesn't belong to anyone.

anonymous algos are new tech.

law needs to keep up with it.

how does one refute the need to hold those responsible?

just accept you can get away with crime?

answer is govt needs to respond, with this cat and mouse game.

if someone sets up a gun ready for assassination of JFK, and a passerby finds it, pulls trigger, does the person who set that up remain innocent?

this kid is living life. soon he'll be *serving life*

but for now... his friend is 13... and has 4 million dollars.

wtf am I doing with my life? looking forward to making tea, and eating a nice meal is my highlight of the day and I'm 37.

this kid is 16, making millions this year. with rich friends. living in la. self described GTA life.

I'm literally looking forward to eating eggs and beef. Jesus.

it's like when someone is only mentioning things on his side, to make a point. and silent when he's proven wrong.

I was thinking about the covid jab.

people are silent now. even though they were vocal when they thought the facts were on their side.

is that considered evil?

it's not about the facts? it's about the facts that are on your side only?

what do you mean? is it true or simply a rumor?

now all software has to be published anonymously just to bypass this

hopefully my long message went through, because it's not showing on my end

I don't think the US govt could have 30% of the hash power. it would take years of acquiring all newly created Asics to put into mining to compete.

the US can have the majority of hashpower, but not the govt. that'll take years to get all the new chips.

current miners can leave the country if needed. not as important where the miners are centralized as much as who the miners are. right now they aren't govt miners.

mining pools on the other hand, are centralized and needs to be addressed. probably by changing the subsidy algorithm to give all miners equal rewards. not just the winner. therefore eliminating pools.

ALSO YOU SAID BTC ISNT VALUABLE IF IT CANT BE USED AS MONEY ... being used as money is almost not even important, to me. value STORAGE is the "killer app" of Bitcoin. and it's doing that already.

no country really has a money spending problem, they have value storage problems.

I don't think others will compete against Bitcoin successfully, due to bitcoins network effect. but if I'm wrong, it'll still take years, as a tug of war. plenty of time to switch to the better coin. 15 years in, and no need to change yet. if there's a better coin, it'll probably be a 5 year window of time to switch to that other coin.

true, I was confusing!

what I mean is: we don't need BTC as a payment system yet. value storage is much more important. my goal is to make 1 BTC transaction a year: my yearly budget. for example: take out 10k of Bitcoin on Jan 1, use it for the year's spending. either on lightning or in cash. high btc fee problem solved. also, high btc fees are good! it means we're giving incentive for miners to compete/increase hash rate.

right. we don't need Bitcoin as money we need it as value storage. also, if nobody wants to use Bitcoin (0.1% as you say), screw em. I'll use it and benefit.

big blockers use this as a reason to point the project in their direction. we already have bcash for big blockers. we can use bcash if we need a payment system. also, payment systems aren't really needed. regular cash works fine for most payments. what we need is a value storage mechanism. that's what doesn't exist at the moment, besides the current Bitcoin. what third parties are taking over?

I'm sure most people haven't heard of the writer. that said, we have Heard of jungle book. too bad it's fiction. I'm assuming it has nothing to do with what you quoted him from. let me rephrase, you think there's a book of his where he gets into things like what you quoted him from? that's what I'm really interested in. I'm assuming jungle book is like that Disney movie

basically, let's stop marketing BTC for low value transactions. it doesn't need to be used by everyone on earth, since everyone on earth doesn't have savings.

personally, I think BTC should be for people w 10k or more.

it's not that only the rich will have access, it's that day to day usage isn't necessary on bitcoin. the dollar or usdc is fine for small transactions.

yes, you needs money to make BTC useful. that's it's purpose.

you don't need btc if you don't have larger amounts of money to store.

if you are concerned about $1 transaction fees, then you are using it as everyday payment rails, which isn't necessary for BTC.

use it to store savings. first have more money, then store it once, without more transactions.
