Yes. I was just trying to say that they could complement each other. What evidence do you have that it is "google spyware"? Have fun with logseq. How do you know that is not "spyware"

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.

Are you claiming that if if bitcoin gets millions of new users (ex. mainstream adoption) that it won't slow down? Since its already the slowest network, and doesn't seem to have any roadmap for scaling, I seriously doubt it.

Apparently you havn't heard of EIP's, or any of the other approaches to on-chain governance. You are the one with your head in the sand. (pun intended)

This is NOT a zero sum game. That is an oversimplification which doesn't conform to reality. For example it could be used in a basket of currencies as a world reserve currency which might make sense. Its about diversification, and not putting all your eggs in one basket. For thousands of years there have been many different currencies. There are many different scenarios which could play out. You have no clue what will happen to altcoins since no one can predict the future. You don't seem to believe in freedom of choice, which is autocratic. This is the OPPOSITE of freedom, or democracy.

Have you tried glasp? I really like it for highlighting and summarizing and sharing notes from the internet. It can also summarize/highlight youtube transcripts. Here are my notes: https://glasp.co/#/fblauer

I don't expect it to be perfect. I just have problems when people claim that it is, and cannot be improved, and that there are no other alternatives. This is clearly not true. If the world decides that it should be used as a medium of exchange, and a STABLE store of value then I will be happy to adopt it. But there is definitely no guarantee and lots of other ideas which may well prove to be better. No one can predict the future. Its not just technology as much as macro economics, human psychology etc etc.

I don't have IOS, like most people in the world

Be curious and learn. Google is your friend and so is chatgpt

Yes, but this makes it harder for integration and things like liquidity between dapps. There are tradeoffs for different design decisions. My problem is when people claim that this is the only approach.

When I try to go back to the parent note, it gives me an error and it says the note can't be found

No, I was replying to some report that was posted here. I was trying to point out some misleading comments that were made in there, and that other points of view may exist. Its a little hard to follow threads here, and what I was replying to originally. But it probably strayed off-topic. I appreciate your offer to have a civilized discussion with differing points of view.

Lots of tutorials available. I find it has gotten much easier over the years. The new installer is very good, but I just upgraded. So many benefits, I never looked back from windows. Much faster and more secure. Never worry about malware. All the apps are also opensource and update automatically. No worry about licenses. Just create another partition, and leave the old one in case you want to boot back to windows for any reason. Even Microsoft is supporting Ubuntu/linux now.

What does science have to do with it? I am a user. I believe that I should be able to vote or participate in consensus like I can with proof of stake, for example. With bitcoin its only miners, node runners or developers who control the direction, which may not the the same as the users who don't have electricity and equipment costs for example. They may have different interests.

"This environment is ripe for abuse by politicians & influencers. Who gain disproportionate power over such a system by manipulating narratives. So it is really even worse than traditional governance systems as social consensus replicates old-world politics but without the democratic vote. The real innovation, therefore, lies in on-chain governance. Where there is an objective & Sybil-resistant vote by parties with actual skin in the game. That is what truly good decentralized governance should look like"

What is the use case?

This looks really interesting. Anyone else know more about it? https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/bitcoin-researchers-introduce-civ-kit-p2p-marketplace

Just upgraded my Ubuntu desktop from V 22.10 to 23.04. I can't believe how fast and smooth it was. Anyone else using Ubuntu on the desktop?

Prove me wrong with facts. Not propaganda and personal attacks which tell me that you don't have a rational argument.
