Late reply. Amethyst is not updating me on replies for some reason. Important topic however.
Wealth, was historically held in communities/structures. Not individuals.
A household spending on itself for itself: individual sovereignty, is a situation and culture unique construction.
Some held wealth without even technically owning or controling direct power over anything besides inherited titles. Its hard for us, but easier for those in other societies to understand.
As an example, the accumulated wealth of any two random people might be disproportionately at risk from something as benigh and random as an accident, based on status. Along with their lives.
My issue is with your perspective that we are somehow returning to a state of sovereinghty that was lost, or more dangerously; the idea that we were once sovereign. This is an incomplete view of history.
It implies we know what to do with true sovereignt; digitally enforced individuality. It suggests that we have at present and historicaly the tools, language and thought patterns to deal with such a thing.
I guessing that to you, i'm making a big deal out of a passing comment, but i hope to point out the gun being held by an untrained child.
Nothing like Bitcoin has ever existed. Fear and trepidation to freedom technologies is legitimate and valid (to use blue hair terminology) and we are the best or worst example of it, in real time.
There is no precedent, tread intentionsly, with urgency, and humility.
>The basic idea is that consumers overpay by sending a UTXO for the product in its entirety, and the retailer returns the change
I must be misunderstanding what is meant by "overpay" and the use of the word "change".
If the expected behavior for users of LN is to esclusively pay in what os the cash equivalent of large denominated bills, i.e a 100$ note for a 75$ purchase, and exact change held by a consumers somehow makes the system less efficient, we are in for a bad time.
Send pics of each step in private chat to me for technical assiatance.
And more products able to be bought with it. I.e the actual market and not just financial speculation.
Imagine interacting with the internet through anything but EdBrowse
It's not designed for economic mining. Spam reduction and security, that' all.
If you were just learning about Bitcoin would you think what was just written was a good idea ?
"Join this new monetary system, you pay more than the sticker price and you might get the difference back."
No one signed up for this, not even back when the LN paper dropped.
Only traumatic abuse from toxic propaganda and cult like fanaticism can push a mind to such unwarranted inconveniances.
The world will just use apple pay and wechat, and freedom will drain past the fingers of the Maxi death strangle.
100,000 users vs what ? Something south of a billion ? Lol
Gee i wonder why
This is my religion.
It's 2024
