Think of the dollar as Agent Smith In The Matrix trilogy. It's the Oracle's plan to let Smith take over the world, then everything centralized has a single weak point and can be destroyed. It's inevitable. The other fiat currencies are weak so the dollar will consume them. Then it's only one step to make the dollar defined as a unit of sats. If the Fed won't do it, any one of these could flip a switch and convert all their customers to sats: Visa, Google Pay, Amazon, or Apple

Providing opportunities for btc exposure is good, but also proselytizing the benefits to corporations, providing training, public speaking, private orange pilling, inducing corporate fomo game theory.. The convertible notes are super popular and gaining visibility from pensions, insurance companies, hedge funds, as a low risk high return fixed income product.

MicroStrategy & Michael Saylor's success shines light both on the vast market of zombie corporations and the negative real yielding bond market, both propped up by money printing, and since anyone can copy him, there's no benefit to shut him down, as another will take his place.

The extreme reaction about to occur in every market already dwarfs GameStop and is just starting. MicroStrategy is positioned as the fuel injector of the rocket nozzle for the vertical part of the S-curve of Bitcoin adoption.

Respect your opinion but totally disagree. We're here to learn and debate in free speech so here goes. MSTR is tapping into money that can't buy Bitcoin and destroying the legacy finance system from the inside unseen. Millions of people and companies around the world need safety he can provide a method to allow investment from pensions and insurance companies that are otherwise prevented from investing in Bitcoin. Nobody with a UK pension is allowed to buy BTC direct right now, but they can buy MSTR.....

What if the price of gold is rising because the gov is spending so much money to hold the price of bitcoin down, that they can't afford to suppress gold anymore?

I was permanently loocked out of my protonmail account a few years ago after using tor over vpn. They had som alogo that flagged me. Fuck them and their security and privacy theater!

They have onion now, probably a glitch. https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/

We Have to Defend Bitcoin Mining in Norway. Here is why:

1/4 In April 2024, the Norwegian government introduced a legislation to regulate data centers in a way that effectively bans #Bitcoin mining in the country.

This is setting a huge precedent. So far, all attempts to ban bitcoin mining have been referred to the practices of authoritarian/dictatorial countries such as #China. But in the case of #Norway, this country is considered one were bitcoiners teach human rights defenders about freedom technology routinely.

A country known for defending human rights, the Nobel Peace Prize, will be also known to be against Bitcoin mining, which affects not only miners, but all users, developers and investors.

Political attacks on bitcoin outside the US support the US to dominate all aspects of Bitcoin for 100 years. Do Norwegians join the world stage as a participant or give up?

This must have been discussed before.

But I thought of a Torrent like design for nostr storage to basically:

1- Decentralizing notes + Media hosting.

2- Reduce the role of relays to become TPB of nostr; Just coordinators on where to find notes on the torrent network instead of hosting.

For some reason this makes total sense to me. But I totally understand how challenging that will be for iPhone users not having the ability to keep the app running in the background.

In an abstract design:

Each npub hosts their own files (notes + Media), and only broadcast to the relays that these files are available if anyone wants to pull them torrent style.

Each npub will basically have a mempool that they can set the expiration date for, that continues to pull and reshare information slowly in the background to build their feed (limits could be established for wireless-data-only users). Once criteria is met for notes, they get deleted from mempool and replaced with new ones.

With the hope that enough people are on the network to reshare notes of people who posted and go offline and only one other client picked up the new note.

#RandomThough - I am bored.

Why not interplanetary filesystem (IPFS)? It auto caches frequently requested files, unlike torrents

The govt will need to get bitcoin income. I don't like the privacy implications of taxing bitcoin, and I don't like the incentives to decrease the security of networks if the govt relies on stealing bitcoin. That leaves direct mining by govt. They need to just buy mining rigs and run them to fund operations.

GM. Block 835665, 1499 sats/$, 104590 sats/gold gram. I'm feeling positive about the future.

Not sure I fully understand. Are people to waiting for it to go lower? It may, but they may miss the current price in fiat terms.

He means folks dont realize they can buy fractions of a BTC. It doesnt help that they can no longer afford 1 whole BTC. Seems obv we need to change the units to sats per dollar. 1475 sat/$ fairly easy to deal with. And call it sats per dollar, not this confusing "Moscow Time" I keep seeing

I see it here, too, but not to the same extent.

We're all here for different reasons, and that's fine. I'm just trying to understand another's perspective here.

I think some see MSTR, ETF flows, and the US debt going parabolic and believe hyperbitcoinization started. It hasn't, it's a liquidity attack to catch the greedy. They still price in $$. We're not winning until companies start mass pricing products in sats and an ETF or big company refuses a 6102 and moves off shore

Guys, it's time to talk about how the federal government wastes energy. The green movement attacks on bitcoin energy use can be redirected to benefit bitcoin by reducing the size of agencies

I wonder if these ETF buyers realize the potential gains they may make, are payment for the risk they take in exposing their BTC holdings to the authorities, and as they achieve these gains, the risk is reduced (by their act of holding). By holding a BTC ETF they run the risk of having *all* their holdings seized (not just bitcoin), and simultaneously reduce the risk that everyone's holdings may be seized. The final achievement in this line would be an actual authority ordering an ETF to turn over their bitcoin, and the ETF deciding to distribute bitcoin to holders in non-compliance.

Reminder, the dollar is a fungible pan-bank liability backed by toxic debt. https://bitcoinaudible.com/the-capital-strip-mine/ nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev

#Bitcoin is money.

Those majority views sound exactly like Nielso (carrot guy). In 2011 this guy told people not to buy Bitcoin because all you can do with it is sell it to someone else. Unlike vegetables. He later deleted the vid, this is a copy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f7CqpW686PE

Fun fact: No one publishes how many dollars or US Treasuries are held by the ECB. This means they hold an embarrassing amount.

In a couple years JP Morgan forks Bitcoin to Proof of Stake verified by a federation of big banks, raises the cap of issued coins, pays bounties to carbon sequestration, and notarizes your ID on chain. Oh and you need to use it to receive EBT food stamps which they operate. Which ETFs will follow this chain and call it Bitcoin?

I want 1 Sat to be equal to or more than 1 Cent. This will make it easier for merchants to start using #Bitcoin because the value will seem less foreign.
