“My race needs no special defense for the past history of them and this country. It proves them to be equal of any people anywhere. All they need is an equal chance in the battle of life.”
-Robert Smalls
Is censorship only profitable if we allow it to be?
What did the buffalo say to his son when he dropped him off at school?
FWIW I think Micah is downplaying the difficulty adjustment and how insane it continues to get. And actually the threat I’m more concerned about are pools! Very centralized rn. And perhaps individual large miners (public companies) censoring transactions.
Less concerned, at this point, about a 51% attack

Censorship surely isn’t profitable in the long run
Those seeking greed and fortune will be humbled once they realize there’s no fed backstop for bitcoin.
This is like saying bitcoin would’ve been better if invented in 2006.
We’re here because of those events.
We stick around because we know there will inevitably be more of those events.

Trump, in a Truth Social post, said: “We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy.”

Been trying to #orangepill her. Recently she shared how sellig her apartment was going too slow so she just got renters for another year in and that is basically mostly gonna be her retirement money. I mentioned Bitcoin and she pretty much said something of the likes of "I don't believe in it" or something. I asked "how much time have you spent studying it"? The answer was "zero" :)
Anyhow, I tried to explain a little bit I am still lacking in elequency around it.
Anywhow, I came across a video by nostr:nprofile1qqsg2zqd8wkhpnxu6lm5c2dyfa2mhpwte57apjae2ldp6g2mmwf3ypqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9urj9dyf on how BTC is repricing real estate and sent it to her (been sending her other basic 101 materia too) and this is her response to me. At least we are having a conversation about Bitcoin. 😏
Stored energy used to trade for goods, services, and labor.
We already tried storing it in other ways (gold, real estate, fiat, etc.).
All those can be manipulated, counterfeited, made more of, or unable to send globally.
Thus, bitcoin wins out.
I love to zap
Also, I wish we hadn’t named it after the guy. Canada just calls it a TFSA (Tax Free Savings Account). Much less confusing in an already confusing fiat world.
If bitcoin hasn’t completely taken over and made fiat investment inventions obsolete in 35 years, we probably reached Armageddon. Still no taxes tho, so you’re right either way.
