Yes. 🤣

It does present a decision point for us. As for my own node, I built it to support the network. It currently does that without the patch. Does it support the network to install the patch? My gut tells me to be afraid - be very afraid. The patch is censorship in a nice tidy little package. That strikes me as anti-Bitcoin to its core. We need to be very careful when hunting this land.

Chiropractor appointment overdue? Lol

I suggested that two friends listen to Robert Breedlove's Jason Lowery series.

Some of my best kludges came from not having any idea WTF was going on! You'll get it right.

Imagine his surprise when he thought he took care of the company's self-custody by having his executive secretary arrange it all. Fast-forward 15 years, and says, "Where's my stash?" MicroStrategy shares go to zero. Yeah, he's not that stupid.

No. But, if it were more lopsided could affect adoption. Let's say we had all of the same miner and node counts and one wallet held 99% of the supply and 1% the rest. Bitcoin's network would be just as decentralized as it is now. However, Metcalfe's law would likely kick the project into the dust bin of history due to lack of adoption. I think we're safely on the rising adoption curve now.

Words of advice: If you're in the lawncare/landscaping business and would like to grow your business, don't threaten/extort your prospective customer by stating that if they don't hire you, you are going to report them to state Dept. of Natural Resources for having alleged invasive species growing in their yard.

Shitcoins and Monkey jpegs, watch out! Saifedean cannot be censored here on #nostr!

This new RESTRICT Act (aka the Tik Tok ban) is the worst most anti-American assault on our freedom that I've ever seen in my life. The Patriot Act previously held that position. The RESTRICT Act blows by that at 1000 MPH.

Just make an option to show more if post longer than X, eg default value to 512 characters. Allow an empty setting for no show more.

Bitcoin cannot be caged!

My old iPhone 4S cannot run that iOS version. It only knows about the two genders.

#Bitcoin isn't dying.

#Bitcoin has died over 466 times and counting!

Surveys show that #Bitcoin dies equally as well in bear markets as it does in bull markets.

I stack precious metals in the form of lead and brass. They’re much better in a fight than silver, though silver is effective versus lycanthropes.

I hate Hindenburg Research. Gains some attention with earlier “reports”. Writes some “research” on their big target. Sell target stock short. Announce big “report” being released next day. Drop report premarket. Cover shorts. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Nobody will believe them again after their Block lies. Hope they rot.

Clearly you misread my meaning. The Friedrich Nietzsche quote I replied with was an assurance that this will make @jack stronger! Then we win.

Put out a couple reports that are or seem to be accurate. Got credibility. Check. Choose next target. Write “research”. Sell target’s stock short. Announce big report. Next day, release said report. Stock tanks. Slowly cover shorts. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Nice scam. It will catch up to them!

What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
