Block subsidy declining ≠ collapse.

What matters isn’t sats/vB staying fixed, but whether those fees buy enough real-world resources (ASICs, energy, bandwidth) to secure blocks. As hardware and energy sourcing improve, securing the chain requires less in monetary terms, not more.

Security in Bitcoin is dynamic. Miners respond to incentives. If fees dip too low, block space fills up, and fees rise—no central planning required. It’s a self-adjusting market.

As for Lightning exits, closing a channel costs one on-chain tx. That cost is amortized over time and traffic. If the mempool is full, you planned poorly or waited too long. Exit is always possible; it’s just priced like any scarce resource.

And no, #Bitcoin doesn’t rely on “price up forever.” It just needs enough value to outpace attack incentives, which adjust dynamically. Attacks, if attempted, create fee spikes or price surges, restoring the balance.

Bitcoin’s layer 1 is expensive, slow, limited — on purpose. That’s its guarantee. Scaling happens above it, not within it. That’s not feudalism, it’s voluntary hierarchy on neutral ground.

Cheap base layer security through permanent inflation like #XMR’s tail emission isn’t sustainable. It’s just stealth dilution. Bitcoin’s model requires planning, not tweaking. And it’s working, whether you like it or not.

#XMR cultists fear deflation but preach open markets — a contradiction they can’t resolve.

Monero cultists often attack #Bitcoin’s 21M hard cap by invoking the tired trope that deflation discourages spending, thereby preventing rational economic calculation. In contrast, they celebrate #XMR’s perpetual tail emission — planned inflation — as a necessary feature that ensures miners are incentivized and the economy keeps “moving.”

But this is orthodox Keynesian logic dressed in cypherpunk cosplay.

Most of self-righteous twats deserve misery.

The only comforting thought is that everyone is destined to die.

You wouldn't know unless you have one.

Fuck off noe.

When freedom loving #monero cultists try to discredit #Bitcoin and start pushing arguments in favor if centralized money control.

Cognitive dissonance at its best.

Arguing in favor centralized systems you are, then. My point exactly.

Calling me names? Triggered much? I wonder why? Was it the kyke thing? 😄

RELAX

Answer the question first and I just might entertain you with an answer.

Answering questions with questions like a kyke.

> your daily reminder that John Keynes was in favor of centralized control of the economy

This is what?

What does this mean to you?

Centralized economy means interventionism and this goes against the premise of "no state is the best state".

The aim is to build third temple and welcome Messiah

You don't see how you're arguing in favor of centralized systems?

You can't starve children to death in self-defence, no matter how much you twist the narrative.

Save #Gaza

Being charged means:

1. Concentration of service providers;

2. Network topology effects;

3. Progmatic dependancies.

Making self-hosting easy seems to be the better solution than concentrating disproportionate influence in the hands service providers and centralized hubs. Besides, this was your critique of nostr relay model.

But they will have to charge 😂

That's a conflict of interest.

She maps...

Why didn't she map that shit and buy Bitcoin in 2010 lmao

You don't sell your Bitcoin for fiat; you exchange it for goods and services.

I am puzzled: how can BTC be a tool for the state? I thought the supply auditability of BTC rested that case.

Many posts about how eth is outperforming BTC and how BTC failed and became a tool for the state rather a tool to end the state.

Influx of some weirdos.., welcome, nonetheless. Enjoy the free expression but don't expect reach.

What is this disenchantment with #bitcoin going on here lately?

#asknostr

Seems she's enjoying the shades of grey there 😂

That's a very good point nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycpz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9uq5gamn8ghj77tvwpc8g6fhv3uxkcm3w4nx2drtxfmngurrxfmrxdmhwe3hsumkv5mk5mmv0fhxjut3vdj8j6tkw9c8zmr9xdkxjepwdahxjmmw9uq3wamnwvaz7tmpw3kxzuewdehhxarj9ekxzmny9u5nvhu6.

I'm thousands of miles away from my servers and I'm still able to zap notes here with the same ease as if I was sitting in the same room.

#bitcoin and #corelightning nodes connected to me by the magic of #nwc and #headscale is pure satisfaction.

I see it pings but there are no posts relayed through it to my client. Doesn't it relay posts from the other public relays while filtering out spam?

Go to system settings, developer options and check running services, your gboard is running extra services even when it's without permissions.

I had similar setup with it, but I also had Google play services installed. The Gboard app communicated with google play services without any permissions. If you have installed Google play services and it is rubbing alongside Gboard, it is not such a sure thing that what you type stays on your device.

Anything users find of quality, could be articles, news, art, music and so on.

Speaking of wallets and accounts, when pubky implements zapping? It's crucial for incentivizing good content.

Ironically, nostr:nprofile1qqsgeksa4tajm7x673gq2v7t56dkgkh6pjhhzdhrgxlpke4za8jmmkqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqetk0p4 uses #walletofsatoshi for nostr account 😂

Yes, but the trend of volatility contraction is ongoing.

It's a nice thought experiment, that's for sure.

Depends on what kind of smoker one is.

Why would they do that if the guy's a net negative for nostr?

While we are very excited about nostr:nprofile1qqs8t4ehcdrjgugzn3zgw6enp53gg2y2gfmekkg69m2d4gwxcpl04acppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp07rhc3q, we are also riddled as to the differences between #keychat and #whitenoise.

I'd like a nice comparison table showing the key differences between these two.

#asknostr

That's great, it starts one at a time. I'm more worried about businesses not accepting Bitcoin, and seeing not much of an effort in this direction by bitcoiners.

Love how nostr:nprofile1qqsrk63a8wentzpk5ex3eqpf9wtww6vwcddzuh9y2800567n4ulwhpqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0t64q2q style blocks keep popping up everywhere

There's non custodial lightning too, so so of a generalization.

> the likelihood of a Gaza ceasefire (more like the likelihood of stopping Gaza genocide)

Seems it won't stop until they free up the place for a massive real estate project with the third temple of Solomon being at the epicenter of it. In judeo-christian teachings, that's one of the omens that needs to occur. How can it occur of the place is filled up with Muslims and they got their second holiest mosque there?

Well...

...now you know how.

There goes the theory that he was Satoshi—a view frequently discussed in #bitcoin circles.

You simply can’t design a system with supply auditability in mind without public disclosure of credits and debits. Unfortunately, many privacy-focused advocates tend to overlook this. The core problem being addressed here is the need for hard money as an alternative to the arbitrary inflation imposed by central banks. Frankly, privacy alone isn’t enough to solve this; supply auditability is essential.

Lol

Taxes couldn't even pay for the servicing government debt, it's all printer go brrr

It's certainly more resilient, but there's not an evident upside here in sight.

But it's nonetheless a good idea to outsource the processes that are legally of higher risk premium.
