It remains very unclear.

All of human history suggests that yes, this will happen. New generations forget the lessons taught by old generations and eventually fall into the same old traps. Bitcoin also still has some very real centralization risks over the timeframe of centuries, such as storing all the data required to be a full node.

However, part of the magic of Bitcoin that anyone can change it however they like. Any changes that make it worse, or make it “no longer Bitcoin” like removing the 21M supply limit or changing other fundamental aspects of the protocol like block size or block time won’t be adopted by everyone and will create failed network forks. Any changes that make it better only have to be demonstrated on a single node, and others can opt in over time to gain the benefits. Therefore it’s much easier for Bitcoin to get better rather than ever get worse.

Ultimately, the true value of Bitcoin is the shared UTXO set. Even if the network fails as currently constructed, or gets corrupted by ignorant future generations, I have a hard time seeing zero economic actors which store value in the UTXO set preserving it and recreating it in a new template which solves whatever issue arose to corrupt it in the first place. There will always be at least one node which remembers the purpose and function of Bitcoin, preserves the UTXO set, and reworks the network based around both of those elements.

So while history would suggest Bitcoin will eventually fail, I think it’s the best chance we’ve ever had at establishing a system of social organization which can truly transcend time and culture.

DaisyDisk for macOS is really good utility tool for finding large files on your computer and cleaning up your storage – I've been using it for years.

If you didn't change the root password to your Modem/router, please do that now.

Not the wifi password, the password to the admin/settings area.

Y'all got $3,000,000 for a 3 bedroom house?

This is my life right now trying to buy a home

I do love nwc, I love mutiny in general and they're working some kinks out. Had a couple lightning channels close through them.

Would love a tool that lets you improve your Twitter archive as nostr notes… just mass post everything I’ve posted on Twitter, haha. A Thread migrator.

Open up your mutiny wallet and go to wallet connections. Create a new profile and open in primal button.

Ive been avoiding obsidian because its not FOSS but it looks sick.

Another thing i'm trying to look at his portability of my information. like if an app stops being developed for whatever reason than I need to be able to take all of that info from the app and move somewhere else. Hence my janky nextcloud set up. 😅

Anyone out in #nostr land use a PKM (personal knowledge management) app. I found one called logseq. and i'm wondering what the advantages would be over the system that I have kind of working on nextcloud and my notes. Also found one called NB thats cli based.
