Any bitcoin coders out there looking for some gig work?

I hate my business’ point of sale system and think all of the systems in the particular industry are worse than mine.

I’m selfishly thankful for Core v Knots . . . I was getting bored with nothing but NGU podcasts

Yeah, my Bloomberg terminal buttons stick sometimes and I end up hitting the wrong buttons

My bad, meant to hit sell and I hit buy instead. One moment, I’ll get that fixed!

You can just run the node you chose

Disrespectful to do that on Cinco de Mayo

My town voted to increase property taxes to pay for a new airport šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Less than 5% voter turn out so . . . 2,700 people just increased the property taxes of 110,000 people.

Someone give me a summary of what’s going on with bitcoin core

Ngo is important for client’s presentation, no effect on me, large effect on my business

What are the chances bitcoin drops off this chop cliff by tomorrow afternoon just in time for all my business month-end financial reports?

This is not a knock on Dave, but just a really good example of why stats can be messy.

76% of S&P 500 CEO’s went to public universities & ā‰ˆ73% of all college students go to public universities.

Sure, you could argue that where you go to school doesn’t matter (that’s probably true), or you could just say that CEO-caliber students choose public colleges at a rate of 73%.

Who are the orange-pilled democrats that I can donate to?

Bitcoin adoption will be slower if it becomes red party coin in appearance.

If one sat is one bitcoin then you would say, ā€œyour total is 1.2 million bitcoin pleaseā€

One dollar sat parity sets in, I doubt you’ll need decimal points considering the lack of value in a single dollar lol

Unit bias is an issue with Bitcoin. Newcomers often buy Dogecoin or other altcoins simply because they can own "a lot" of them, while the idea of ever owning a whole Bitcoin feels impossible. One proposed solution by nostr:npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh is to shift the language from 21 million bitcoins to 2.1 quadrillion bitcoins. Bitcoin is a great brand name and using satoshis or sats can be confusing. This would fix that too.

However, I feel this proposal would create confusion too, especially for those new to Bitcoin and for the media—because for 16 years, people have heard there are only 21 million bitcoins. Explaining that the total supply hasn’t changed, only the denomination, would be exhausting. Personally, I think calling them ā€œsatsā€ isn’t very intuitive, they should’ve been called ā€œbitsā€, but at this point, I don’t really care.

ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ

I think 100,000,000 Sats per coin is less intuitive to normies than 2.1 quadrillion bitcoins.

Plus 2.1 quadrillion might end the ā€œthere aren’t enough bitcoin to be moneyā€ FUD since a quadrillion sounds like plenty.

Do what you want, but that’s a pretty stupid reason to lose ā€œallā€ respect for someone šŸ˜‚

I don’t have to defend him, but if you’re asking that you haven’t listened to enough of his argument.
