Dennis had a meeting with Ryan Selkis and then they each grabbed the wrong phone, obviously

I have it on good authority the price will recover

Still a little early to launch an attack. Wait a halving or two.

If we could universally eliminate lying across all media that would great. But seeing this selectively enforced as tool by the parties in power to make sure that journalists always err on the side of felating the dictator is very bad. Free speech principles give journalist some room to operate (the issue here is the legal distinction between 'sexual assault' and 'rape', not some completely fabricated thing). Free speech is about balance of power, and this is not it.

I’m seeing folks celebrate billionaires filing defamation law suits against the media and individuals

The whole point of free speech and the first amendment was to explicitly NOT give the already powerful a legal tool to attack folks who criticize them. The whole point is balance of power,to avoid consolidation of power, which people used to think was a bad thing.

Good. More journalists need to pay for their lies.

I never took you for a Russia stan Peter but OK

This is one of the better write ups of the future Bitcoin security model by nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a . The takeaway seems to be that it’s certainly not a guarantee that Bitcoin will collapse in 40 years; there are many scenarios in which a fee market could develop which provides the necessary security. However this is hardly anything like the reassurance one would need to say, sell Bitcoin as a surefire way to pay off the national debt. Bitcoin might not even be around. Of course it might, but that’s not enough to build a national reserve on.

FOMO is not a technology

It looks like Jesse posted there one hour ago. Are you saying it’s a done deal that he will be permanently banned because 13,000 people signed a petition?
