This is why we can’t have nice things
I dunno. If I pollute a lake you drink from is that OK because what I damaged was owned by nobody?
I’ve always thought of it as naw-stir
Good to know. I’ll have to learn what the standard/protocol is. I recall something like an email address my old wallet generated for me.
I’m using muun wallet. I don’t think muun supports the scheme for wallet linking.
No. I just have to charge my old phone with wallet of satoshi on it. That company left the US or something. But I have to learn how to connect my current lightning wallet to Damus on iOS.
I’ve got to learn how to do this again. I have wallet of satoshi on an old phone that zaps get sent to…
Price rises and revolution are surprisingly correlated throughout history. Even when gold was money, this correlation held true. Even if you adjust for bankers fractional reserve banking games, the correlation is still there.
While it’s not surprising that men remove the heads of the rulers when life gets too expensive to play by the rules, it is surprising that even gold can’t avoid prices rising.
Inflation as in rising prices isn’t just due to one thing such as money printing/changing fractional reserve ratios. There were times in history where demand was the cause of inflation in necessities of life (drawing on the savings of an enlarging populace, for example).
Of note, sometimes rising prices meant more gold was mined but not always. Gold gets mined when there is a profit to mine it…government regulations, labor costs, and energy costs can vary at least somewhat independently from costs of food/clothing/shelter etc. The “higher prices means more gold gets mined” feedback loop was frequently disrupted or delayed, and the results were bloody.
Does Bitcoin fix this? I’m not sure. I think so, presuming the masses refuse to enslave themselves to a debt denominated in bitcoin.
Interesting history of prices and revolutions. More correlated than you might think.
Will Bitcoin fix this? I’m hopeful, but only time will tell.
PEA…pulseless electrical activity. Don’t shock, resume CPR. But most such cases end in death, and most of the remainder are vegetables.
I love .age .sex … don’t even have to know the most basic of info to write a note :)
For those of you who are still on Twitter, I had a long debate thread today with Parker Lewis about Nostr. I'm a big fan of Parker, so I figured I'd share it here for shared learning.
Here's the latest post. I'm not sure it'll be the last or not but it's the latest one as of this writing. You can scroll up to see the exchange from the start.

Linking to my own post in isolation is bad form and the thumbnail is awkward depending on what client you're using, so I'll also provide a pic of the start of the debate too, with two posts of his and one of mine.
I'd be open to any thoughts about this debate.

It’s not clear app CEO’s can be arrested. The legal authority is enabled by company writing the software also running the host.
Notice how OpenSSL devs haven’t been arrested?
Bitcoin sale! And for this I am grateful. Someday I’ll move towards indifference and someday after that it’ll hurt a bit, but for now, it’s an unmitigated great thing to get my next sats cheaper.
I think the only end game of permitting the march to tyranny is armed revolution. Our country has made this a fairly regular thing. Shots have been fired and lives lost in lawfully fighting federal government overreach.
I used the dot phrases for sections of notes…like .pex would insert my normal full physical exam and .ros was wall the routine medically unnecessary stuff to ensure maximal dollar extraction at the command of my intern year institution. I had a bunch of dot phrases for treatment plans like .romi or .chf…
Ever hear of the T-sheet system for the ED? It’s brilliant. Maybe 50 canned notes on physical paper for common conditions and all you have to do is cross stuff off that’s untrue.
Just remember:
1) we are going to win.
2) everyone needs bitcoin.
3) the true enemies are the issuers of paper currency and their cronies who by force of unjust law take some of this newly issued paper for themselves
4) the powers that be won’t be happy with us as we…see #1
I’m tempted by accelerationism too. But as that necessarily involves bloodshed, I remain grounded in the political process to kill tyranny peacefully. For now. There is always a limit beyond which bloodshed becomes necessity & duty. But we aren’t there yet, imho.
I hope this happens.
