Never invaded. Deterrence works.
The Amish are happy because they live sheltered lives, sheltered by 'English' society as they call us normies.
They don't have to worry about any of the Big Things in Life like defending the country or creating a stable currency, because it's being done for them.
Scaling that kind of topology is an unsolved problem.
The government is in line with the people 90% of the time. So "just" here means what the people want, or some majority of them anyways. Of course what the people want could be unjust to some others, like if there's a decision to invade a neighboring country, then those neighbors will probably find that unjust.
I'm happy with the 90%.
This and that. There's currently friction about home much trade with other countries should happen. But no need to move the goalposts. The idea to limit the ownership rights in money has wide support. Controlling money supply results in relatively stable prices and wouldn't work any other way.
Pretty much. I'd say 90%. Don't count on removing the government as a middle man though, the need for money being established as a temporary grant only is pretty widespread in my society and probably yours too. The disconnect between the government and the people to the extent that it exists is in other less important areas.
In my civilized society we have mechanisms in place to ensure that this is the case. Too bad if yours isn't like that.
Your presumed "inalienable right" to property (money or other) is granted to you by the state too btw because only the state has the monopoly on force to do so. It doesn't work any other way.
Where did you see that?
The state, which depending on how civilized your society is, reflects the will of the people or not.
No, it's been temporarily granted to you for the purpose of conducting business and offering products and services.
"Experts consulted by Il Fatto Quotidiano, such as Steven Murdoch, professor of security engineering at University College London, believe that, based on publicly available information as of last July, the police have no chance of extracting the information from the Graphene operating system phone, using the well-known technology of the Israeli company Cellebrite."
Very interesting.
Use fiat?
2 years ago i was working on such idea to make a p2p overlay network over nostr for syncing. since no one paid attention i thought probably its a dumb idea and i stopped it.
more:
spec: https://github.com/zurvan-lab/IPNN
a repo which was intended to be the implementation (kind of empty repo): https://github.com/zurvan-lab/redvin
note: you may see im using libp2p in my spec which is awful. back then i was obsessed with ipfs and these kind of stuff and i maid this mistake. if i start it again, it would be a custom protocol probably, much efficient and of course a working one.

And then a miracle occurs.

My hairdresser thinks so too.
"The main argument for a Strategic BItcoin Reserve seems to be that Bitcoin holders worry about an impending shortage of greater fools and need the US government to act as the greatest fool of last resort."

I'm still relatively new here, but many discussion between nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0ds2g5zx8, nostr:nprofile1qqsraldwhvwcjgltmxwfu7kw8dqef2692yhzheuurd7k3kfy8cxjdqgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3samnwvaz7tmhv4kxxmmdv5hxummnw3ezuamfdejsz9thwden5te0v4jx2m3wdehhxarj9ekxzmnype9f6h and other clients are nonsensical, even if I don't understand all the technical details.
I think Nostr is so valuable that arguing is a waste of time. Everyone should do what they think is best. the people will decide what is right.
Let's grow together. #grownostr

Maybe you could compensate by proclaiming your opinion very loudly.
Someone shilling for H1B makes Twitter untenable? That's it?
Oh noes. What's going on over there? Samples?
