damn, gold is beating the shit out of bitcoin if we think about that:

Accurate? #AskNostr

Then why is he shitting all over it in those posts?

Because he is now an enemy of bitcoin who want to censor consensus valid transactions and add an ability in bitcoin to confiscate coins. He has gone totally insane.

Fuck Luke.

What an actual faggot this guy lol. Not the gay kind.

Why does he say hash rate is irrelevant?

Luke has gone totally unhinged. I will never trust any of his code or anything he says again.

On my way to run Core 30

bitcoin is much more important than nostr

When you can’t beat the false accusations

Are you saying there is no sane reason to believe humans have an immortal soul that survives bodily death?

Death is the separation of the body and soul.

The body obviously needs the soul to survive (otherwise, it wouldn't be a body, but a corpse).

But the soul, which is spiritual, does not need air or nourishment or any other bodily assistance for it to survive. Strictly speaking, it doesn't need the body to exist.

It is spirit, not a physical thing. Without the soul's animation, the body dies and decomposes into many parts, no longer unified, no longer held together.

But the soul has no parts. It has no geographical location. It is simple. It is one. Yet it is manifestly real.

"Mother Nature," on the other hand, is manifestly a metaphor, a personification, a literary device.

That's fine as far as it goes, as long as we don't use it as a replacement for God -- which is not a metaphor, not a personification, but ultimate reality.

This is the sincere conclusion of countless sane and even brilliant men in history, both ancient and modern.

Only a knucklehead would seriously try to defend the reality of the tooth fairy or Father Time or Mother Nature. Not so when it comes to God's existence.

Here's what I wish Pope Leo would publish as an encyclical to be entitled "Mea Culpa":

My bad, brother bishops and all the faithful. I should have been clear right off the bat.

Catholicism is the one true religion. Christ is King. Don't be pagan. Please refer to the Roman Catechism.

Abortion? Always a hard no.

Don't be communist. Are you kidding me?

And stop with all the gay crap already -- or else!

That's it for now.

In Christ,

Pope Leo XIV

She lovingly says we all make a difference in this world, yet she's fine with shipping off people she doesn't like to another planet to get rid of them. Harsh.

I don't believe we are all just part of "Mother Nature" (a misleading personification). There is no sane reason to hold an almost religious devotion to the environment or the earth or the elements.

We were put here by God for a purpose. Our duty is to know God, to find God's will for us and to live it out to the best of our ability, and to rely on his mercy.

Because life doesn't end at death. It's only the beginning of our eternity.

We don't need to worry about cow farts hurting the atmosphere.

GM!

Hitler was the polar opposite of Netanyahu. He tried mightily and heroically to free his people -- and other peoples -- from the yoke of Jewish hate, exploitation, and fractional reserve slavery.

If it's well documented you'll surely then have no issue finding primary source material, because I sure have tried.

There's a terrific Twain quote about reading the news. Paraphrasing: if you don't read the news you're uninformed, but if you read the news you're misinformed.

What gave black Americans the right to vote was not a bill, so you may be in the latter category at least regarding that claim. Kirk does seem to have been against the Civil Rights Bill. This is a position I hadn't considered but could probably steel man decently given the fact that so many govt interventions tend to have the opposite of their intended effect (Inflation Reduction Act, Patriot Act, Bank Secrecy Act, etc).

Have you listened to Kirk yourself or are you going by what someone else is saying?

(I'm still genuinely open to you being right on your other claims. I'm currently trying to piece together what Kirk stood for and his views.)

Say what you want about Charlie Kirk, but the guy did something meaningful and worthwhile during his time on Earth that captured many hearts and minds.

Not many are capable of that and it’s quite an incredible feat for a young man like him.

This HAVE TO BE fake, right?

This is not real, for sure.

Please, tell me this is a parody!!!

Broadly the USA is so much closer to Corporatism for the 99% and Socialism for the 1% than it is to [idealistic] free market capitalism.

No shot you actually think we have anything close to free market capitalism after the Covid-era airline bailouts and bank bailouts in 2008 (to name a few)?

Your desire of what Bitcoin should be conflicts with the reality of information theory. So no, there is no "full stop" - you can't stop information from being encoded and published.
