Food and groceries are literally the most competitive, least profitable industries in the economy.

If you don’t want to pay any company’s prices, you can compete directly against them with some seed, water and soil, or a rifle or fishing pole. Of course not everyone has those, but enough people do. The barrier to entry is laughably small.

Energy: now there’s some barrier to entry, and profit!

Ultimate barrier to entry (ergo profit and waste): taxing authority. Let’s price control the fuck out of that!

Not showing up for me either

What does that do for you?

GM. You didn't miss much

wen Update?

Have a good example?

He's fine with centralization as long as he's in control. What makes him think he's more powerful than other centralized orgs ganging up on him?

Why isn't the solution to centralized power grabs obvious?

Bitcoin is beachfront property without the erosion. The "copies" are just deteriorating apartment buildings controlled by a cabal milking you to enrich themselves.

Indeed. Midwits just scoff and proclaim "oh, anyone can just copy it" but their gnat-size attention span won't permit them to play devil's advocate for 5 more seconds and ask "and then what?" or "why hasn't one of my fellow midwits copied it and profited yet?"

What comes next for the Bitcoin timechain is worth more than what comes next for all copies put together. And that's because the enormous sums of scarce resources used to write the latest block make the timechain immutable. There's simply not enough accessible resources under the control of uneconomic actors that can unwrite that last block, or the next one, or the one after that.

I'm not sure how anyone besides a rabid Hillary supporter does not like her. Trump shoulda picked her.

1 bitcoin for every 380 people

Beautiful, nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle. 🧡

Even IF the NSA miraculously steals all of our coins, at the very least, the whole world will know the USG and its fiat financing operation is EVIL AS FUCK, and IF having large chunks of our net wealth (the expression of the very freedoms they claim to promote and defend) stolen was the only way to expose that truth, then at the very least we'll still have clear consciences, respect from our children knowing we're not the ones trying to enslave them with debt, and each fucking other to build something even better.

It's win-win, really. Unlike them, we don't have to look over our shoulder (except when handling private keys). We're not fighting over FIAT scraps. We're not gaming any system. We're creating our own and we don't necessarily need bitcoin to achieve that. As long as we have TRUTH and INTEGRITY both on our side, we'll never lose.

LFG 🚀

Guy, don’t be so cynical. How many trials did the Covid vaxes get? Didn’t they all show promising results, like stopping transmission? Oh, wait

We gotta live one!

Something tells me this isn’t the last it will be on sale

I did the same a couple weeks ago. The only thing I really miss is Spaces. We need a nostr replacement, native app. Are there any?

Who’s selling rn??

Omg, there just went two houses 🏘️

Zap and replace

You are conflating influence and regulate. Or you are changing your original assertion. Like nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl said, their just an actor, and can only regulate as much as people would allow themselves to be regulated using this technology that only exists BECAUSE of their awful track record of regulating money.
