If they bring in trusted web i'm out of that too.
You things are bad when the founder reboosts your post about leaving the platform they created.
In concert with roads and agriculture. Not alone. My thesis, if i have one, is that bitcoin alone won't change anything. We need freedom innovation in many other domains, education, relationships , cultural values.
An honest man behind a crooked weight is more important than the weight.
If individuals in bitcoin nation just coast along and don't build anything real, it will end up just being borrowed against and depegged from, like gold.
Sir, think of the winklevoss twins please.
How will they eat tonight if Gemini fails ?
And school doesn't pay you zaps.
Zoomers don't know what it's like never seeing the movie from begining to end because you keep coming accross it by accident, and it's 20 minutes in.
either sound money has never existed before bitcoin ( i'm open to that interpretation),
or you mean the past two hundred years of innovation has been fueled by both sound money (gold)
and unsound money (unpegged fiat)
at different times.
Tech has, Despite sound or unsound money meant that innovation is determined by whether or not a new GPU archetecture is 0.01% more efficient than the competitions. Less than 1% of people are interested or work in these niche fields.
I'm not a luddite, i'm simply saying there is a valley between hills. The luddites were right for a time. ATM's created more jobs, i get it, but some, lives , homes, families, were lost along the way never to be found again. Bitcoin, is one technology in a storm of factors leading to the next hill or plateau.
Ignoring the basic factors that lead to the boom bust cycle will just continue, even when/if bitcoinnis the only moneybthat makes sense.
We are in a delicate spot at the moment and i reject completly all narratives that assert bitcoin has already won and is fated.
So there was no homelessness before fiat ? Before leaving the gold standard ? There is no basis for making these claims about bitcoin.
Actually, saying "robots and fusion energy will eliminate homelessness and drug addiction" has as much evidence behind it but seems more plausible.
Hype Bitcoiners want pre-welfare state money but post-welfare state culture. That's not how it works.
Want sound money ? You mean like we had before ? Fine, you die from pneumonia and disentry because the local town doesn't have gold or bitcoin backed money to invest in piping. This is not an argument for the state by the way, i'm just saying bitcoin world circa 2023 lacks vision and is boring.
How do you deal with spam ? And spam bots ? Or bots who post spam about other bots ?
And when that test fails, try again with a slightly modified version...
Oh wait.
Damn it !
The Great Depression had nothing to do with the gold standard if that’s what you’re implying. It was actually the first fiat debt bubble and collapse of the Fed, which had just been established and started manipulating rates. Followed immediately by the largest, sustained program of govt intervention we had ever had, prolonging the disaster for a decade.
in other words, it was entirely caused by fiat manipulation.
A good primer:

Precisely. Sound Money. The gold standard. any standard of a deflationary money does not prevent drepression level events or cultural cycles. Even the Bitcoin standard.
Islam and Judaism prevent the type of thing you mention. Their cultures forbid finance cycles like you describe and prevent psychologies arising like the ones you mention. Does that mean they need Bitcoin less ? No.
There are different schools of thought on what lead to the depression, each pushing their own version and sequence of events. They are all probably right on some things and wrong on others. I've studied your version and other scholars make their career out of arguing the contrary. The truth is a messy complicated mileu between them all, with no single solution.
Cheap energy, technology and war ended the depression and lead to the boom. All under sound money.
I am pro-bitcoin , but i have no illusions it will fix human nature. It does one thing well. Checks government abuse of power through money. It gives a way out. It does not fix your life.
How many bitcoin millionaires have killed themselves through drugs and alchohol ? How many are in pieces in a bag at the bottom of a river ? How many are showing the worst side of themselves and would have been better never to have heard of Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a lifeboat, don't mistake it for the beach.
so is your evidence the gold standard ?
like depression era gold standard ?
Have a good civil war everyone.
Remember the Geneva Conventions, and who gets to write history.

Alby not working with tor and other privacy tools is my biggest gripe, besides the centralization around them.
Lol funny meme.
Thing is, private companies have been pushing core in a specific direction for a long time.
DC allows one to prevent core from changing much at all in the future. These same companies and their payed off dev influencers are pushing the anti-DC narrative. So by oposing DC one is advancing their cause, in my opinion.
It's good you are open to reasons for it, check out the drivechain FAQ for a rundownnof the key points.
Good day
