baby don’t hurt me

2013 post from 4chan was right on the money for predictions in how things are playing out.

It won't be a sudden event ... well worth reading.

It is not possible to share this image too widely. Please help me spread it far and wide.

eh are you UK based? Want your legal brain to pick through

he's 100% bang on, but typically, it's about improving yourself and that process burns off the people who can't evolve, and then hopefully there's a restock of better quality people at the pro-levels. I'm in the transition phase and its grim.

dude I'd love to surround myself but under those criteria, I can get about 90 degree coverage!

Such an amazing book. Also partial to this page.

I often worry that the general masses won't care about privacy until it's too late. Any time I talk about it with friends and family, I get responses along the line of sarcasm or the occasional "we don't have to worry about that here"

Let me get this straight. . . .

You feel it's "just" and "right" for banks to be able to custody an asset they've been spending more than a decade mocking, ridiculing, harnessing, and coercing the shit out of with non stop FUD?

Literally, financial parasites who are part of a squadron in cahoots with illegitimate governments around the world hellbent on keeping their knees on the back of our necks?

“Inflation” is an increase in the supply of money.

When you create new money out of thin air, the purchasing power of the monetary unit decreases.

Trump *inflated* the money supply by trillions of dollars to buy lockdowns, send stimulus checks, fund Operation Warp Speed, etc.

I don't think the US govt could have 30% of the hash power. it would take years of acquiring all newly created Asics to put into mining to compete.

the US can have the majority of hashpower, but not the govt. that'll take years to get all the new chips.

current miners can leave the country if needed. not as important where the miners are centralized as much as who the miners are. right now they aren't govt miners.

mining pools on the other hand, are centralized and needs to be addressed. probably by changing the subsidy algorithm to give all miners equal rewards. not just the winner. therefore eliminating pools.

ALSO YOU SAID BTC ISNT VALUABLE IF IT CANT BE USED AS MONEY ... being used as money is almost not even important, to me. value STORAGE is the "killer app" of Bitcoin. and it's doing that already.

no country really has a money spending problem, they have value storage problems.

I guess but I'm just not sure bitcoin is worth much if it's too expensive to be used as money. Maybe we will work out L2 solutions. Or maybe there could be a fork that temporarily increases the block size to increase feasibility as money but then reverts back after a certain time has passed. I honestly don't know. I guess time will tell

JUST IN: Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma signs HB3594 into law.

This historic step makes Oklahoma the first state to formally recognize and protect the rights of its citizens to run a node, mine, and self-custody #Bitcoin
