I've been told that The Mandibles is a must read! nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx had a interview with the author of The Mandibles, Lionel Shriver on Citadel Dispatch.
A book set in the United States in 2029 during a debt crisis that results in hyperinflation and economic collapse.

I think the ones with the money printer can buy Bitcoin without any labour involved.
I would say don't criticize what you don't understand. Or if you're positive, what you don't understand yet.
pegasus can be deployed against your devices
it can read encrypted signal messages

How is that possible? It is end-to-end encrypted. Have they found a flaw in the implementation?
Welcome Courtney :-)
Have you already installed a Lightning wallet? If not I would recommend walletofsatoshi.com.
After installing and opening it, tap the Receive button. You'll see a qrcode and below that something that looks like an email address. That is a Lightning address where you can receive bitcoin.
Copy that address, go to your nostr app and paste the Lightning address in your profile. Now you can receive bitcoin :-)

Bitcoin doesn't care who you are, what you're buying or where and who you're sending it to.
“My motivation for b-money was to enable online economies that are purely voluntary, ones that couldn’t be taxed or regulated through the threat of force.”
– Wei Dai
Very interesting take which sounds very plausible. Never thought about captchas and Ai doing it way better.
I learned about a new term rent-seekers today. Thank you for sharing.

Great insight:
If enough dollars are sold for bitcoin, it drains the central banks' manipulation space until this manipulation no longer sends the entire economy into recession.

Great insight from the article:

If that would double the money supply, I think you can apply the Quantity Theory of Money by Copernicus, that when the money supply doubles, prices also double.
Great insight about value. This post also resembles this:

“A lot of ink is spilled over the evils of inequality, but very few will point to this very obvious and devastatingly cruel form of economic punishment inflicted on the world’s poor. Central governments are constantly devaluing and degrading what little hope the poorest among us have for achieving a better life. At the same time, this regressive inflation tax rewards the rich who can borrow large quantities of devaluing fiat, and who can protect themselves by holding hard assets.”

Ironically when I'm discussing Bitcoin with people, a lot of times they will use the argument that Bitcoin brings inequality. A few has the majority of bitcoin. I think this is a natural distribution like the pareto. Probably this is also gradually changing.
That is an interesting take.
