I saw a stat for one year 5-10 years ago, that the police stole more private property, through civil asset forfeiture, than all of the criminals/thieves in the country. What is worse: a person who steals to provide for themselves or a government official that uses government power to steal from those least able to defend themselves?

Typical path of world changing technologies.

I have never heard of it. I have heard of it but I don’t understand it. I understand it but I don’t see how it’s useful. I could not imagine to live without it. It’s too powerful it needs to be regulated.

At what stage is #Bitcoin?

How do I avoid getting my nostr follow list nuked by accident?

Let’s be real

This UTXO/self-sovereign conversation is actually one of many reasons why we need more progressives/leftists/“collectivists” in Bitcoin and building Bitcoin things. We need folks who have the ability to think about the common good, the 99%, not just themselves and their family who will hide away in a citadel, and those that pretend everything they have in life is because they created it for themselves.

Tons of libertarian socialists in Bitcoin promoting self-sovereignty and a vision of the Bitcoin world I could get onboard with that isn’t rugged individualism.

I can't see your link/attachment, so I don't have full context, but I very much like cilantro.

Funny how people like Derek always have to resort to insulting intelligence (ad Homs) as a means of justifying their beliefs.

Does Derek here produce the evidence which substantiates the claim that this is indeed a fact? No, of course he doesn’t. They never do. Throw in a fallacy for good measure. “Everyone knows bro”

I wonder how many boosters he’s had.

nope. it's an old pipes septic thing in a few countries. i encountered this for the first time in se asia
