I definitely agree that there are alarmists who politicize the issue to no end, and want to use to gain power.

But afaik the CO2 questions are extremely well-studied: 1) that atmospheric CO2 levels have steadily risen for a long time 2) that we put a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere, and into the oceans by extension, through dissolution. 3) that CO2 traps radiation emitted by the Earth, which has a heating effect on the lower atmosphere and Earth surface. Which of these three do you disagree with?

You really believe that humans have no part in atmospheric CO2 increase?

Bitcoin is also a permissionless protocol, so the same reasoning applies. Do you base your statement on NIP-05 identifiers following the account?

This is just the beginning - on a permissionless protocol, we will undoubtedly see so much awful stuff. How to handle this will be a huge challenge for #nostr

Do you know any managers of small/middling banks, and what they think the future of CBDCs has in store for them? And by extension, how do they perceive #Bitcoin?

That's a tautology though, when we reach the endpoint of a triangle it's impossible to remain inside the triangle

I also happen to think it's impossible to predict with accuracy.

However, predictions are not useless, because they are explicit and can be held to account. Whereas a chart with lines doesn't make a falsifiable statement

anyone can predict, but the prediction is often incorrect

what does the textbook predict?

Today's reading recommendation - "Harrisson Bergeron", a short story by Kurt Vonnegut.

It's fully contained in the free Kindle sample of "Welcome to the Monkey House":

What is the "market share" of CLN vs LND?

Think about a run-of-the-mill bank, that sees its ability to create debt-based money dwindle, because customer deposits shrink as people use CBDCs instead. What services will they offer, to continue appealing to customers? It seems like, since the central bank cuts them out as middlemen, they could turn around and offer customers an alternative to central bank money, i.e. #Bitcoin services.

We are still very early in #Bitcoin, look at how confused two highly financially literate and sophisticated people are on the topic

1. I don't think hodling is 'nothing', you first have to move your financial energy into bitcoin, and then keep foregoing gratification, while society tells you you're a fool/scammer/criminal/traitor.

2. Sunlight is something for nothing, for everyone on the planet.
