Do you mean "experts" or experts? Lol
I think it's really important that we have an honest debate among people who actually understand a fair amount of this and have an interest to understand. That is, a lot of real experts. If they're just trying to rush signatures though, well, that's similar to the way the Constitution was rushed, but unlike that noise, we can opt out on the individual level by not running that version of the software, and refusing to acknowledge a consensus change later down the line if we think it's wrong.
Yes, inside of a sound proof vault ideally, for when you don't want it spying on you.

Verrrrry worth looking at. In my opinion CTV is no risk and all upside (while all other solutions for covenants I have seen have some serious risks). The other one, I have not researched yet, gonna do that today.
Dude. This is the one good idea they've had recently. They're trying to remain relevant.
I use Signal. I'm so glad there are multitudes of alternatives.
*layer 3
Custodial lightning is a further abstraction so it's a layer 3 I would say.
It might also be used to normalize federal police power against citizens.
It's largely a distraction from, or faulty justification for, the expansion of the surveillance state, depending on whether people become aware.
These protests and the response that the Trump admin makes are being used to manipulate people. Don't trust. Verify.
Thank goodness the police will at least do something about the smalltime thieves.
Gah I feel sorry for you, for them, for anyone having to deal with the fallout of aggression.
nostr:note17e7gvy4jscg0kgpt847fwrz6c24ev0h7nngq968psj8wp74fc02s48pqnkYeah they got way off the rails, but now they're realizing they need to do this thing that actually matters because they're losing relevance. OP_CTV is really important in my opinion and is the safest solution for covenants out there.
She just does not understand that her go to solution is not the only solution, and would actually make the problem worse. There are plenty of reasons that people are dying on the streets, and lack of theft of housing is not one of them. Unfortunately, people are very immature and unwilling to wait for a better solution than their imaginary one that involves aggression.

As a bitcoiner I actually find this really cool lol!
I guess Shabibo is locked out of the decision making.
Imagine calling autonomous vehicles like you call an Uber just to burn them in the street.

For now….

Destroying property you don't own is no bueno. Making a statement is bueno. These people lack the imagination to stage a peaceful protest.
Me. Physical removal is a very specific property rights concept. I already explained that to be clear, in case you didn't realize it. You can pretend that I am being disingenuous all you want, but it's clear to anyone paying attention that I'm not.
Is it now? If that is your religion, sure, you'll believe that that's inevitable, and desirable.
What the hell are you talking about? A state is a centralized entity with a monopoly on the legitimate use of force/ultimate decision making in conflicts, over a given geographical region. I interpreted your question to be about replacing the state full of people under it with a decentralized collection of people living in anarchy over a large geographical region, forming some sort of defense that you claim can't exist. A community, with a mechanism for defense. I proceeded to explain the most basic form of that defense. This method of defense is the replacement for the state. You literally posed the question of how anarchy REPLACES the state. Not becomes the state. Anarchy is just a peaceful interaction and organization of a community of people, by definition.
If you're trying to attain victory by definition, you're not very good at it. This is second rate sophistry at best.
Ok I thought you were genuinely asking but I see what you're doing. Anarchy doesn't use force except in as much as it defends property rights. The people who choose to live in governments will not aggress against our property the vast majority of the time, and as long as they don't, there's no force maintaining the system whatsoever. It's just peaceful trade and building things. The surrounding governments, if they be reasonably peaceful, will find it more beneficial to trade with us than to force us to live like them.
If you believe that defense of property is authoritarianism, then you can just fuck off with that hug emoji.
You're using weird words but you manage them foremost with enforcement of property rights. Property rights include the right to exclude people from your property and exclude them from your voluntary associations so long as the others in your association all consent to that governance. This may be done via a contract and delegating a little responsibility (via a valid, consensual contract) to exclude people who would be dangerous to the community. To enforce property rights you also have the ability to use force against aggressors onto your property, such as surrounding governments. Everyone has an incentive to keep governments out, so they likely pool resources together into defense firms to give overwhelming force against such aggression if it tries to seize control of the land or impose its supposed edicts on anarchist land. These defense firms will operate on a market for insurance that responds to real time signals, both price signals and other threat detection systems, to keep everyone safe from attacks.
Anarcho-capitalism is about bringing force back to its proper use. We absolutely can and will force anarchism onto ourselves. That is, forcibly get everyone else to stop forcing us to do things.
And anyone who decides they want to join that paradigm, the government does not have complete ultimate power over them. The freedom to vote with your feet is still a realistic option for some. They have a choice to make.
And further, anarchists have the right to physically remove people and systems that tend toward statism, crime, or consolidation of power, and they will use it. And still again, cooperation in a free market is so superior to state regulated markets, that entire decentralized stateless regions will tend to have sustainable economic advantages against the statist world, and will drive motivated individuals to join the prosperity.
So I'm afraid your intuition is lacking in details about this stuff.
I can't find the words for my concepts please hodl on if it sounds imprecise lol
Yeah I get you. I think it's probably a lot less severe than it sounded to me but always good to be suspicious of the state. I was only looking at sensationalized entertainment Bitcoin propaganda lol! Nothing concrete.
I only give fiat or other securities in exchange for borrowing fiat. Giving up full custody of my coins I already have? Nah brah. I thought about it, but I'll wait for a good smart contracts solution if I ever do it at all, and if I do, it's gonna be a really small amount. I think it's better to keep my securities world (fiat) separate from my commodities world (bitcoin).
You still haven't explained how this is relevant to whether anarchy will succeed. Is forced integration a given with you?
Verified, it's a truth™
People making bad choices often inadvertently strengthen the very dynamic that removes them from power. If it was intentional, kudos.
I actually thought of that a few weeks ago, but didn't say anything because I wanted to make sure it worked.
Some will, some won't. Only way to be absolutely certain is self custody bitcoin. The rest is speculative investment, and is worth doing on a case by case basis.
I see, so you want better precision in our language. I think maybe we are just speaking a different language, but the goal is still something I should consider. Federal deficit expansion has a met inflationary effect long term, because it pumps dollars into the system and those dollars have to come from somewhere, and they're basically being issued as federal debt, which is bought up by global investors or the Fed. When the investors don't feel it's attractive enough for the Fed's liking, the Fed will print and the money supply will increase. Until then it's a localized expansion of available dollars (an increase in supply, an inflation-like event) in the U.S., especially close to government contracts and whatnot, at the expense of dollars elsewhere. Not actually inflation of the money supply, but it tends toward more future expansion of the money supply, because the government is not incentivized to own up to its mistakes. So what we're saying on a long enough time scale is true. If we say that the Fed specifically is printing right now, well yeah that's false (aside from a little bit a few days ago there)
Then we can afford to own our own robot since the designs and software will be free
Good point. Open source robots will probably eventually outcompete the fiat bots.
This is the Way.
Life in prison or the chair, not sure about that, but anyone doing that is evil, completely agree on that. Don't mislead kids. Don't tell them lies like they aren't good enough as they are but they could be if they just believe so and so fallacy. That is indeed one of the deepest and most destructive evils in the world. You know what actually yes they deserve the chair lol!
I heal by reading Rothbard, Spooner, or Bastiat
Yeah most institutions are led by pussies encumbered with answering to a million other people and their own misplaced worries. The best will adopt Bitcoin early.
What about meta-gatekeepers? I gatekeep gatekeeping. Gatekeeping has legitimate usecases blah blah blah
