Because it is consistent & generally less dangerous than misguided groupies...

There is so much resistance to the idea of human cooperation, volunteerism, or altruism.

The insistence that greed is the only effective human motivator is a cultural plague.

it’s come to my attention that some ppl to need to kill themselves

Just try not to cover the entire planet with shitty human built crap please, some of us are more a fan of Gods designs...

Nobody would invest 10 BTC and not share equity. He doesn't own the cathedral, he owns some shares in the cathedral and so does everyone else who invested.

Large, complex, long-term projects will invariably require equity-investment.

You don't give him 100 BTC, he finds 10 people and they each give him 10 BTC, and they all enjoy the common profits and losses and they all get to use the cathedral.

If it doesn't work out, you are out 10 BTC and you have no cathedral. It happens. Shareholders get wiped out all the time. Maybe he has a heart attack and dies and construction is canceled, so they sell the building materials and you get 2 BTC back.

If it does, then you are still out the 10 BTC, but you earn income in the form of fees for classical concerts, tours, weddings, access to the great views from the church tower, or whatnot, and you have a cathedral.

If you are afraid of losing 10 BTC, just keep your BTC and go to someplace else's cathedral.

They are going to have to wait one to two generations to pull out the pandemic card again. People are going to be immune to their pandemic #psyop for a while.

Yeah, but they are born with legs & feet. 😂

Not me. I like land.

They can have the dry stuff, I've all but given up on it, when the last few ties are gone I'm seabound.

Is that like the time some transplant from Pennsylvania was running her mouth about how she couldn’t believe we were all against paying higher slightly property taxes and a slightly higher county sales tax to improve the schools because they aren’t adequate and we didn’t know what high taxes were. Even with the increase they wouldn’t be anywhere near what she was paying in Pennsylvania.

Lady we’ve built a dozen schools in this district the past 25 years over people moving in. We didn’t need all that before you moved here. Want to know why there isn’t enough infrastructure and the current tax rates don’t allow for improvement? Look in the mirror. Nobody asked you to move here.

Then we’re the bad guys for asking if she needed help moving back to Pennsylvania since she apparently doesn’t like it here.

Yep exactly, they can oversell a "paper" instrument that is allegedly backed but not really by anything.

I question this. Yes 21 million fixed cap on chain but Blackrock already trading paper corn unaccountably.

Could be anything by 2030.

Truth is none of us know what the future holds, there are no easy options. Do the best you can with what you have available.

Yep. Looking at moving a bit further out myself. I’ve never lived inside a city or a town but that urban sprawl catching up to me.

The way is to always be frugal and prudent, regardless of the currency, and spend intentionally, deliberately, and charitably.

Fiat shouldn't make us spendthrift.

Bitcoin shouldn't turn us into misers.

There is no reason to assume that the wealthiest Bitcoiners will not align themselves with the state.

Bitcoin scrip, yeah, and you can only spend it at the company store. And another Soros or Kellogs foundation, but with Bitcoin.

Or buy up all the fresh water rights and then demand exorbitant fees in Bitcoin, for access to drinking water.

It's the venison of Australia

I am just bone-tired of Christianity becoming a religion where we are to worship the rich and sneer at the poor.
