Hahah, yep, my zap missed its intended target.. sounds like a skirmish incident
Welcome mate ! You'll be right at home here
I think Pete Dunworth suggested he will need another pseudonym to reveal his latest model, let it gain traction, then go on pods to discuss this latest greatest thing, only for him to open his mouth and the community says 'that's plan B.. don't we not like him ?' .. a cunning strategy
Hahah, wonder if you like the saylor series then, that's a fairly deep theoretical dive
I've seen both sides of the argument and there's merit on both sides IMO. The original question on whether Lowery is brilliant was answered above (my view) and many wont agree with his conclusions, however the argument is still well constructed, requiring serious brainpower.
Bitcoin is such a divisive topic through misinformation, opinions and spin/propaganda. The establishment is already making it hard in the US by choking on/offramps and they haven't even started on the patriotism/anti USD angle yet.
Lowery made the argument about gunpowder originally being medicine then it was used as a weapon (still the same gunpowder).
A society (Constantinople ?) rejected the offer to use gunpowder, while their neighbour embraced it and later re-introduced it to those that rejected it.
US is likely to do the same w Bitcoin if they aren't careful.
I think he is brilliant because he logically constructed an argument from first principles in the WiM Lowery series.
He went layer by layer through his argument and arrived at conclusions. He did it in detail and consulted a great many people.
Not many can do that.
Anyone may not agree with his conclusions, that is any person's right, however his argument is very reasoned and I have enjoyed his perspectives.. I've learnt a great deal fore about many subjects in the process.
I feel his series on WiM is the equal of the Saylor series, and that is a great compliment .. thats why.
Nostr is Satoshi's Gultch
Bitcoin likes liquidity !
Ha, just zapped you Bill, the latest version of Amethyst is 🔥, allows quick selection of custom amounts to zap, like 21, 69, 1000 sats
It was a great article mate, another great version of infinity / 21 M .. Hard to value exactly, but greater than 0 ! An economic black hole works well for my concept of bitcoin.
.. silly question, how do you change the default amounts and have a few different quick select zaps as per the picture above ?
Elon will be seeing a very legitimate escape hatch from the bird app. Interesting to see his plans re payment there. Insanity to use anything but Lightning. He does love his doge though ..
Thanks mate, never sure how these things could go, but tried to give it a feel of a typical bushbash chat !
Glad you enjoyed, was a fun rip with hopefully plenty of useful content for people!
Psychology is fascinating, doesn't take much for the FOMO and momentum people to jump on board .. degen leverage becomes tempted also.. grab your popcorn, could be a fun ride !
Followed and Zapped ! you guys are the true spirit of Bitcoin, love your work
