Our memes are stronger than we think 🥳

I heard the numbers are 70,000 people own 81% of all value on earth. A small city population.

Many powerful people need to die of old age before we go full steam.

Such exciting time to be alive and sometimes I hear myself say: "Can't we just have it over with?"

And I will protect my privacy. But that doesn't mean that most of my bitcoin isn't destined to buy contracts in my name with anyway.

Then when will you ever use Bitcoin for a contract in your name? What if your only income is in Bitcoin, paid to you in your name because it's your job contract? What if you don't have a fiat income that is sufficient for such a payment?

With respect, while I don’t think the 80 byte OP_RETURN thing should actually be filtered because it’s a lot point by now, there IS a critically important difference between filtering and censoring in this context:

• One is a question of WHAT is allowed in the bitcoin chain, which is a universal policy. Every node does this and this is similar to arguments with RBF and the like. In a sense, this is the only thing bitcoin does, is filter with extreme prejudice, WHAT goes into the chain.

— there is an argument to be had on whether the byte issue is good/bad, but it’s not censoring privacy transactions or coinjoins. It’s a filter that *happens* to catch one kind.

• The other is a question of WHO gets into the blockchain. F2Pool here had the audacity to claim that a certain address, with a certain balance, is owned by some “evil” people because some govt body, without trial or due process, has declared their evil acts and demanded punishment & eviction from market activities.

Regardless of whether this particular kind of filtering should be considered good, or that it potentially sets a bad precedent, they are not the same thing in terms of the danger and subjectivity of the decisions.

Deciding WHAT goes into the chain is a process of defining the bitcoin system, deciding WHO can get into the chain is censorship and violating the basic tenant of neutrality.

The phrase isn’t “Bitcoin is for everything,” it’s “Bitcoin is for everyone. nostr:note14hm0a4xz7v5dmsmslj6h694vmnlytc59k4mv2s254clm3zdcpzmsujjv3x

I think this is not a matter of policy but a matter of market forces. Like all things that aren't broken.

Don't forget to honor Jupiter for being bright and beautiful.

The only sound argument for it I've ever heard is that it allows for getting rid of a large part of overhead budget.

Paying out any form subsidies costs a very large organization to check who gets what and why. If you pay a fixed sum to everyone, then you can get rid of the overhead costs.

Schrödinger has my keys.

Bitcoin can not legally be confiscated because it is impossible to prove that anyone actually owns any.

Schrödinger's keys.

This is a VERY bad take, because miners make these kinds of decision all the time: the freedom to choose what you support is an expression of the Bitcoin protocol, it is consensus working in real time. nostr:note1pkw7p3nz9kgd45v6yfa05wgyfmmqyvexz7hxslreqa822fkcmlwq2pyz6c

If you just want to become an El Salvadoran citizen you can always apply for citizenship the regular way and it won't cost more then 5M sats

There are different programs, all of the others are cheaper, this one is just for the freedom visa program. It must come with some awesome perks.
