Many people haven't understood what a zero entropy value system is. All heterodox economic thought (Marx, Von Mises etc) from the 20th century is based on low entropy systems and has no application in a world governed by Bitcoin's monetary policy.
The fault lies in assuming one can extrapolate definable stock to flow metrics to infinity. The correct procedure is to observe quantifiable data from this new system and then interpolate backwards into the previous paradigm and only then, form conclusion. A lot of right wing individualists have made this error and 13 years of social media centralization has entrenched these false ideas.
Just a moment ago I confronted Knut Svanholm on Twitter about his false math and as usual here was his response (below). You, Svanholm, Ammous and countless others who place individuality over sociality need to learn. You can't fight math and it's time to retire dead ideas of the 20th century that only impedes the brilliance of bitcoin and is very counter productive to global adoption

Anyone who truly studies the math underlying Bitcoin can see that the Austrian, libertarian, ancap etc ideologies have no place in a Bitcoin economy.
I suggest you go back to school Mr Breedlove and discover this for yourself. Your inappropriate imposition of irrelevant heterodoxy from the 20th century is distracting people from Bitcoin's true nature and you're also impeding adoption
You still have your own economic dogma to remove from your conditioning.
Bitcoin math is a perfect expression of individuality AND sociality at the same time. So your attempt to differentiate the "incumbent system" from the dominant aristocratic heterodoxy of the early bitcoin story makers lives in a similar thought trap as the "incumbent system" you childishly ascribe intent and criminality to.
It's like buying a car in 1910 then putting it in the garage and complaining about horses all day.
Bitcoin is a neutral protocol that unites capitalism and communism and also has no enemies. It'll be a good day when this self uniquely blind American obsession with authority-as-conspiracy-against-the-self finally lessens and more diverse global voices gain ascent
"There aren’t many downsides to #nostr growth being tied to #bitcoin"
Yes there is. There's a very strong possibility that p2p communications combined with p2p monetization will form centralized siloed communities governed by Confirmation Bias.
This could lead to information poor spaces between silos and narrow cult thinking becoming dominant.
Notice the information centralization on Bitcoin Twitter.
We have "freedom maximalists" and/or "Bitcoin maximalists" pushing keto, non seed oil, austrian and ancap bs economics, as if they are club entry requirements.
The same maxis that are suddenly silent with women losing sovereignty over their own bodies or have nothing to say about child deaths at school.
They built a monetized base for themselves by attracting similar minded people - now they are in thought prisons because to dare to be different means less income for their centralized social media business model.
I'm all for decentralized networks and their promise of free and open communication but lets not kid ourselves of the possible hazards and unforseen outcomes
Do you have a problem with perception Parman?
I'm only interested in anticipating what sort of reactions societies will have towards us bitcoiners when we own 25 or 50% of the world's stored value.
I'm not interested in your anti democracy politics because that's your business and because it has no predictive value. So your attempt to implant thoughts in my head for your narcissistic issues is a complete waste of time.
Your bitcoin will never give you peace if you keep creating enemies out of thin air
I'm not out to justify anything.
It's just a simple observation that for every action there's a reaction. If a small group of individuals get all the cheese, the collective has ways and means of correcting that disequilibrium.
We Bitcoiners could be soon sitting on hundreds of trillions which is a lot of incentive for people, governments, police, populist politicians, mobs, gangsters, fraudsters, kidnappers to target us.
Just trying to be realistic. Hungry mobs will most likely not be placated by arguments over property rights and greater good ideation.
If collectives are such a concern to you, practicing kindness, charity and generosity to society (and respecting democracy) might be the best form of self defense
Democracy Evil?
When the peasants come with pitchforks and fire brands to your "citadel" only then will bitcoin oligarchs understand democracy was their insurance policy.
Citadels with post codes will never be "left alone" (You think tax agents, Special operations, or mafia gangs will just knock on your door politely?)
Russian oligarchs are very vulnerable to "accidents" on the 30th floor
Private armies can always be bought off
Dead bitcoin oligarchs are not dead. They become Bitcoin Improvement Proposals. (the permanent removal of their btc stash makes us all rich - thanks comrade!!)
The mRNA injections program your own cells to produce the spike protein that is associated with covid. Below is a study showing that the spike protein itself is incredibly destructive. It is damaging endothelial tissue & causing heart & vascular inflamation. It is crossing the blood brain barrier & damaging brain tissue. It is accumulating in soft tissue & reproductive organs. It's not that hard to find this information (maybe stop using state controlled serch engines like google).
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.121.318902
The peer review system is completely corrupt. "Peer review" at this point basically just means that if it challenges the accepted & well funded dogma it just get's rejected.
Most covid cases were just the flu rebranded. Flu cases didn't really drop to zero they just stopped testing for it. Part of the covid treatment protocol was a drug called remdesivir which has previously been shown to cause kidney failure which presents as pulmonary edema... easy to miss when you think a respuratory virus is killing people. I have a nurse friend who realized this & stopped putting remdesivir in her patient's IVs & they ALL stopped dying. Hospitals & doctors were being paid to administer this drug & they were being paid more when the patient died.
And yet even with all of that going on, the excess deaths in highly jabbed countries around the world climbed far higher after the jabs were made available, & continue to do so now that the covid "emergency" is over.
People are dying of strokes, heart attacks, & aggressive cancers. YOUNG people are dying of these things. I know two otherwise healthy people who got multiple boosters & now have aggressive cancer. Atheletes have been dropping dead on the field, news reporters have died on air, popular twitter accounts who were pro-jab have died. The evidence is clear & overwhelming if you just take off the blinders. Vaccines in general are toxic things that everyone should avoid, but these mRNA jabs are a new level of hubris & idiocy. SIDS & SADS are the same scammers using the same propaganda to obfuscate the truly destructive nature of their products.
The study does indeed show the ill effects of the S protein - as would happen if one was infected by the virus - but the vaccine is designed to instruct the ribosome to produce a mere fraction of the S protein. So this study pertains more to the infection by virus itself and is not a study of the vaccine.
We could argue to the end of days about the safety of that fragment (just as prior vaccines used attenuated organism for the immune system to practice on leading to full immunity).
Then of course it is a simulated full S protein representing infection, not vaccination and using hamsters as a proxy.
And another area that I feel you make difficult to refute is your assertion that there's an absence of information and that peer review is corrupted. This is exactly why the scientific method exists. Consensus and proof of work is designed to filter out rogue agents (exactly how blockchain solves double spend)
Put simply if you think the absence of info is proof of your view, then it is impossible for anyone to prove you wrong.
Personally I find it very hard to believe that 50 million doctors and 110 million scientists could pull such a serious fraud without someone snitching on the gang.
I do understand that suspicion of anything introduced to the body should be greeted with wariness. And mRNA requires we trust that a mechanism in our bodies has been hijacked to produce these proteins in a (one would hope) non toxic and short term way.
btw I have a medical background and was extremely wary of this new technique. I did not find confidence in any one opinion. My confidence arrived after determining the consensus opinion after reading about 130 studies. Only then I got vaccinated
I think one failing in the science was - though understandable under a global emergency situation - there was quite a rush to get this sorted quickly and that doctors and scientists (and politicians) could have spent more time explaining to ease people's concerns
Thanks for you input. I'm glad we at least agree on ketogenic concepts. I still believe good food and proper living is the best way to delete illness. When you really think of it, we should never need to have any kind of medicine if only people would eat and exercise correctly
I think we underestimate that a public official who may or may not make regulatory determinations about an asset class is forbidden to own that asset due to conflict of interest.
But bitcoin is math and non physical and I'm pretty sure a lot of people learned before buying rather than buying and then learning about it after
I'm still glad Gensler did us all a good service by being knowledgeable enough to declare bitcoin as a commodity and all the scam coins as unregistered securities. He didn't need to own bitcoin to do that
Why do you need to own something to learn about it? Especially a mathematical construct that cannot be owned?
As an after thought and not to be too contra on you. I've seen your comments about Ketogenic diet which are spot on and deserve a lot of recognition.
I just can't understand if you have the capacity to understand glycemic pathways and reactions, that you don't apply the same to mRNA
The scientific method is a proof of work consensus driven blockchain.
Your attempt to hard fork it by calling it religion will not work. But please broadcast your hypothesis to the network with reproducible findings so others can confirm your work through consensus.
mRNA is not gene therapy because it doesn't alter DNA. It is just an instruction set to the Ribosomes using amino acids to produce a covid recognizing antibody which happens to be a protein
The human body has 20,000 proteins. None are toxic. Each are produced by simple combinations of four amino acids which are also non toxic. Of the known 200,000 proteins in all organisms not one has caused sudden death nor reduced fertility rates.
If any protein ever caused a toxic reaction, the human body would break them all down into the basic four amino acids for reconstruction into human proteins. We do this every day with "foreign proteins"
It's called eating meat
Vaccination is a medical procedure that has never been for sick people. It's for the prevention of sickness. It saves 5 million lives every year and 37% of us are alive today because our ancestors were not superstitious and did not override people who put in time and effort to qualify.
A million Americans died unnecessarily from covid because of medical ignorance.
Sudden deaths in young people have increased but as a former nurse, we started witnessing 25 years ago that junk food, excess carbs, sugars, seed oils, veganism and vegetarianism was prematurely ageing young people's arteries and the medical fraternity knew back then that heart attacks and strokes were going to increase hugely in people in their 20's and 30's
Vaccines were first invented in 1795, mRNA tech was finally perfected in 2019. Declining fertility rates were first reported in the 1970's so the causal link is most likely environmental pollution and/or plastics.
Science welcomes all viewpoints but just like Bitcoin, all broadcasts (hypothesis) has to be filtered through consensus and verifiability functions.
And as a final point about mRNA tech
Is Cathy Wood of Ark invest so wrong with the potentials of this disruptive technology while being spot on with other techs?
Every cancer produced by retrovirus and almost all genetic born disease is about to be permanently cured in the next decade. If bitcoiners are going to go all luddite over tech they refuse to learn and understand, perhaps we should STFU and stop calling no coiners or fiat people the same
Amina is the name of the mother the Prophet Muhammad
Scottish born but spent all my childhood in Kenya and Tanzania (where I first heard the name)
You have my daughter's name, Amine.
Not quite a restoration thing but very nice anyway😀
What a fucking moron.
You actually think you're funny?
If you walked into a country bar with that on, you'd be beaten to a pulp in no time
Relax man.
I'm 62 years old 😁
And man up and debate ideas.
We all saw you attack a female mathematician recently and how you want to censor her math from Nostr.
You may be ignorant of her zero entropy math but that doesn't give you the right to cancel other people's free speech and right to association.
There is, perhaps, nothing more delicious than watching people promote Bitcoin whilst clinging on to the fantasy that the State is an absolute requirement for things to work. Their "History just started yesterday" mentality rejects the evidence that the educated and reasoning have incorporated into their thinking. They know that Florence didn't have a US style surveillance state watching every transaction, "To keep people safe".
They know that the City State of Venice didn't have USSR style Commissars watching every transaction; people were free to trade, travel and live, and that's why those places flourished, not due to the State existing, but because the State was very small, minded its business, didn't over tax and got out of everyone's way.
This is why El Salvador is going to win; eschewing taxing Bitcoin business is super forward thinking, and will attract all sane businesses to its shores so they can be left to develop their services in peace. Only delusional Socialists believe regulation creates business; that's why New York is a BTC desert. If it were true that regulations created business, every Bitcoiner would be rushing to incorporate and operate in New York.
The exact opposite is true; people avoid New York because the "BitLicense" is in force there. Making a "BitLicense Lite" as some Europeans are trying to do will simply make people operate in another jurisdiction where the poison hasn't been uncorked. If it were true that FinCEN registration and SEC regulation made businesses safe for consumers, then FTX would never have gone down, because they had all the licenses there were to apply for secured.
How many examples do people need to see before they GET IT? Foundations don't created businesses. Regulations don't protect anyone. Regulations can't stop people losing money. It beggars belief that even in the face of the recent Californian banks, people still believe in the State like lemmings.
If it were true that regulations and regulatory bodies offered protection, SVB could not have gone down, or any other bank. FDIC insurance would not be necessary; "Why do we even need FDIC? We have a Federal body regulating it, NOTHING CAN GO WRO.....KABOOM!". How DUMB can y' be?
And of course, what the crazy Socialist says is, "The regulations were not strong enough or were not broad enough. We are going to bring in new regulators and instantiate a new Regulator to make sure this can never happen again". And then it happens again. And people don't learn.
They're the most foolish, naïeve people on earth, much more so because they're educated and STILL believe in the State like children. This, my friends, is why Bitcoin needed to be written, and the Statists STILL don't understand this or see what is coming. Bitcoin will not allow the formation of any regulatory body because all money in the economy is put to economic uses not Socialism. It doesn't care about what you believe is required for an economy to grow or why it doesn't. It is a permanent constraint on the ignorant and naïeve who will not conform to reality. That Socialists actively support a thing that will make their vision for the world impossible is, perhaps, the greatest release of Schadenfreude ever in history. A group of imaginatinless men got tricked into promoting tools that 100% negate their philosophy.
You couldn't make it up if you tried. And Bitcoin can't hear anyone whining about anything. It can't care that you refuse to accept reality; it imposes reality. It can't accept that you refuse the nature of man. It harnesses the nature of man to protect US from YOU.
We will win, not you. It is our philosophy that is going to eat the world. It is us that are being proved right, not you. It is your world that is crumbling whilst ours is emerging. It is us that is helping to free mankind, not you. It is us that are the real Bitcoiners NOT YOU!
Bitcoin wallets don't need "Regulation".

The market is proven effective to build great civilizations, and the countries that had stringent regulations, like the USSR and New York, ended up crumbling and collapsing.
https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/1584563240088244224
Because Bitcoin exists, it is not required to convince anyone anymore. Our way of thinking will become the default by attrition or capitulation. And it's not your choice either.

Everyone must know their rôle. If you can't run a company or develop tools, you have no place; and that's OK.

The world is a messy place with messy people and messy half baked ideas. Bitcoin is not half baked; it is a cake with sound rules built into it. This is why people have such a hard time understanding it. For most of their lives they've lived in a USSR...
https://twitter.com/Beautyon_/status/1590655872556228610
style Communist / Socialist State, where the government sets the rules for everything, to where children can be born and educated, what the form of food you can eat is, and of course, the form of money you are required to accept by law. Ten years is not enough to cleanse out the stench of Statism from the minds of even the most intelligent and well meaning. It will take many years for that to happen, but the painful medicine must be swallowed first, and that medicine is "Bitcoin".
Look at the new (maybe) phenomenon Nostr. The people who developed it, wrote it and then released it. They didn't ask permission, they didn't wait for the State to sanction it. They just DID IT, just like the author of Bitcoin DID IT. They are not Statists or losers.
And the people who now name drop Nostr in the same breath as they do Bitcoin while claiming that Bitcoin needs regulation don't seem to understand that Nostr is REGULATION RESISTANT not CENSORSHIP RESISTANT. That means that anyone can say ANYTHING they want without consequences.
Why are the people so hell bent on regulation not saying that Nostr is a very bad thing? because they want to appear to be the good guys, and everyone loves Nostr, so it is not possible to say anything against Nostor and also be a good Bitcoiner. But that's another story.
Nostr exposes a problem with the current state of the Bitcoin economy. Because businesses are needed to onboard new users and develop and manage consumer grade wallets, those businesses are a SPOF that Statists can attack and "regulate" to "Keep People Safe". People who want regulation of Bitcoin businesses are no better than Chuck Shumer, who wants to regulate "AI". The danger zone layer that is the businesses that distribute Bitcoin services are the place where people who can't write software and who are too frightened to invest in companies can have a disproportionate and toxic effect on the economy. Because they don't have a real stake in Bitcoin by running a business that spreads it, they can advocate for regulation in the belief that no matter what happens they will be rich. It's why Sailor advocated for regulation.
There are many characters doing this. Lummis for one

Consistency is Bitcoin's greatest attribute. If people were as consistent as computer programmes, there would be a lot less trouble in the world...or maybe more...who knows? All _I_ know is that history is REAL and it REPEATS itself, and regulation CANNOT CHANGE MAN'S NATURE.
You still don't get it.
The math of Bitcoin has destroyed all left and right thought systems from the 20th century. You're fighting a "war" in your head that has no application to a future Bitcoin economy.
"We are winning"
You take one of the greatest inventions in centuries and reduce it to a private grudge tool. And who the fuck is "We?" Who the fuck are you to claim a neutral mathematical protocol belongs to you or your communist style collective.
You are a 20th century dinosaur, fighting a 20th century war over 20th century bullshit.
Start learning what Bitcoin is. Your ignorance is stunningly embarrassing and on the level of a cult.
