Trump came out better than Elon in this discussion, imho.

Minimal gaffes from Trump. He strategically took the moderate approach here. Elon fished for outlier opinions and controversies but Trump used Akido on them and dominated the discussion. One might like or dislike Trump's positions but in this particular appearance the gaffes were minimal and the positions were purposely moderated and careful.

This was basically the opposite of the Elon and Jordon Peterson interview. In that interview, Elon clearly entertained Jordan and outmaneuvered him. Elon barely wanted to be there. Jordon looked silly.

In this interview with Trump, Elon basically cucked himself for Trump. He knows where his business bread is buttered: Xi, Modi, Erdogan, and whichever US president has momentum.

But meanwhile, for those who say I am biased against Elon, I'm on *his* side for the EU and UK activity against Twitter. Elon is absolutely right there. The only proper American response there is to fuck off. And his memes have been great against Thierry Breton and others. UK and EU should get rekt on that front. I'm pro-Elon there, which is not common outside of SpaceX which is great.

But the proliferation of Nostr would beat all of that latter part regarding communication. It's good to push back and meme against Thierry Breton. Tell him to get rekt. It's even better to make Thierry Breton irrelevant by making it so that he can't send his Karen-like letters to anyone, since Nostr has no CEO, as we swarm around him and invite Britons and Europeans to join us.

Anyway, good evening.

#Carnivore is a game of will power and discipline.

Silent payment sounds genious!

#Bitcoin

Most people who I know that think the CIA invented bitcoin, are not very familiar with the pre-history of Bitcoin including work by Back, Szabo, Finney, etc.

I'm not saying that certainly no intelligence agency created Bitcoin, but rather, I'm very skeptical of the certainty that many people have around that topic.

Because, when you are somewhat familiar with that pre-history and look at it from an engineering perspective, you can clearly see the pieces gradually falling into place. In the1980s there was work by Chaum about how to build a database run by mutually suspicious entities. In the 1990s there was work by Back for proof-of-work. As things moved into the 2000s, there was Szabo's Bit Gold, which is very similar to what Bitcoin ended up being, and Finney's Reusable Proof of Work "RPOW" tokens. Finney hadn't solved the centralization issue, and Szabo hadn't solved the issue of better computation causing supply inflation over time, but they were collectively within shooting range of the solution. Others as well. Meanwhile global bandwidth was getting better, encryption in general was getting better (and there we've got an actual intelligence agency contribution), etc.

And then Satoshi added to that work, including the difficulty adjustment in particular and many other details, with a full implementation.

Basically, if someone thinks that Bitcoin just kind of magically came out of nowhere, then it's pretty easy to see how they'd be inclined toward a conspiratorial assumption.

However, if one sees that, just like any other industry, there was a series of engineers building on each others' work until someone finally got it over the line, then it looks a lot more organic.

Bitcoiners, what would you do if you had total control over the fiat money printers?

It was nice knowing all of you! ☠️🤣
