Finally, someone will explain why Jpegs are attractive.
What makes you think they have not already ? Saylor outright said Bitcoin needs to not change, to attract the "Adults".
The u.s is providing bombs to kill christians in Gaza as we speak. Christians have killed way more Muslim and Non-muslim people in the world. Look in the mirror.
This sentence is hilarious.

Honestly, i don't care how, just give me the 20k.
Take the raw pill anon. Cooking denatures proteins, reducing bioavailable nutrients and increasing carcinogens.
That's what dreams are...
Imagine being a Maxi trying to onboard newbies, most of the human population, to Bitcoin.
"Self custody and run your own node but not right now. Wait a few months and then put your savings in this thing."
Or
"Use a different coin for now, but switch to BTC later, grandma who can barely open her email."
Or
" Use a lighting wallet to store and transfer thousands of dollars, because the USD is losing value. High Fees ? That's the cost of freedom money."
I don't think Bitcoiners realize how dumb we sound to people who think the internet IS facebook and instagram.
All i want for Christmans is Monero tips on Nostr.

It's funny, i'm a militant Foss, but i can't even begin to imagine how open sourcing electricity management software on github would even start.
Imagine the PR's from hostile nations. There are ways to do it, in a way where the OS community improves the grid while reducing hostile risk. But just a regular open source realease cycle ? How ?
There are also legacy concerns. The system is itself subject to inter agency norms, generational release cycles, local political concerns. Its not running on a singular software base, like ASOP, software projects, or more recent monolithic power grid projects like Mexico, african countries, ect. Each state has had its own home grown , often incompatible ecosystem, since the invention of electricity. This is a good thing.
There are several things you want air gapped and in house. Your wife, your money and the national fucking power grid software. Seems obvious.
Imagine a library fault upstream the way nodejs spazzes out every few years. Except its grannies dying in winter.
open to better ways of thinking about it though
I don't know, but i believe in you king. Believe in yourself !
Midwest Emo is the musical theory branch of First World Problems.
Meh. Milk is kind overated. It's mostly just sugars and opiates. The culture around it and cheese are important though. mmm cheese
>Fixing Transaction Malleability means that the Lightning Network can work smoothly.
Like i said. Political. And an adventure. Bitcoin drags LN along, like some High School senior forced to bring a sibling to prom by their parent. Is Lightning what and where we were expecting a few years back ? Ready to onboard billions. Or do we need yet more fixes to do that?
I want those who build it to learn from open source, but to open source it is to invite a bug with the type of failure that ends nations.
There are alternative ways to build resilient software. Domain appropriateness.
>Drivechains are not a noncustodial bitcoin solution. Bitcoin never leaves the Bitcoin network. Users deposit and withdraw their bitcoin in and out of a sidechain with a one-to-one conversion rate.
Your understanding about how DC works is incomplete. I could waste my time and describe it here, or you could actually read how the escrow would work. No one has custody of the escrowed funds. More non-custodial and trustless than 15 multisig federation. Look specifically at whether the author expects users to be doing this depositing or not.
>That's not even bitcoin custody. You exchanged bitcoin for sidechain tokens.
Depending on the sidechain design, the exchange could be for tokens you have direct custody of just like a main chain bitcoin wallet. It's funny, you have a similar lack of horizontal thinking as Peter. Not an insult, nothing i say here is personal, just a critique of the same arguments rehashed since 2015 if not earlyer.
>What do you mean by Bitcoin facing vendor lock-in?
Any solution that is not LN, gets shot down. The approved solutions happen to depend on LN. When alternative solutions or improved protocols exist but a company is unable to support them because their investment in one single software that excludes them, the company is locked in to that exclusion. This can be life or death for a company or project and is one of the competitive advantages of opensource and libre. Sort of like how Microsoft has or had a monopoly on South Korean (among other states) computer infra.
Those who advertised these changes to Bitcoin including segwit, happen to be selling solutions they stand to profit from and are skill stacked to exploit, not because alternatives do not exist ready to go, or that it is inherently impossible for alternatives to exist.
The tautology goes like this:
This and not that, can be trusted.
You can trust me because i trust this and not that.
Circulars like this all eventually fail. The free market eventually breaks them. This is a fast and true law. The only question is if Bitcoin survives this inevitability. Not guranteed. Drivechains allows the freemarket to both break this circular, experiment, keep main layer bitcoin stable and benefit Bitcoins long term survival.
Bitcoin should be as popular and dependable as Usdt and Usdc by now. It should be as private as Monero and as experimental as Ethereum was. Instead we are dealing with layer 1 spam drama, again. And fucking block templates. Insert WHAT YEAR IS IT meme.
It only isn't because of the logic loop influencers and devs are stuck in that stand to lose through their ad-hoc bandaid solutions and inbred conference circuit. Their popularity will, as a consequence, not survive the next big crisis. It didn't have to be this way, but is historically predictable.
An example is RGB and tokens/assets. Zero adoption. LN ~5k bitcoins. It is that factions answer to ordinals and tokens (a fad already on its way out) they spent years of dev time to build a response to a fad, with no monetary signal to tell them if the effort was desired by the market. We, therefore are locked into their vision of bitcoin and lightning. Only to have ordinals cause a huge issue on main net ANYWAYS. DC could have avoided this misallocation of effort with immidiate monetary feedback for the idea in a sandboxed sidechain on a reduced blocksize attack surface. (To be fair Primal and related tech by Orlovsky has enough creativity to outlast even the next crisis or off chain innovation. Its that far ahead in antifragility and uniqueness.)
It's actually getting to the point of criminality if not outright sabotage/treason. For instance, I'm rather technical and security aware. Through poor ui and lack of op_vault and other solutions, have had funds stolen, just replicating regular user behavior as an experiment. I hold them and the toxics responsible for it and countless other thefts and privacy breeches.
Bitcoin and software is not easy, it's true. All the more reason not to out all our eggs in a single basket of orthodoxy.
Told you. This is what happens when you lay off middle class gov workers. They start organizing the lower classes. They should be retraining and starting businesses in the less restricted environment.
What might a successor to Bitcoin look like ? (I don't do twitter, pls let me know of this is answered.)
