Inconvenient truths

When we talk about Bitcoin scalability we inevitably talk about the blockchain trilemma.

The blockchain trilemma is a concept that explains the difficulty of balancing three key properties in a blockchain network: decentralization, security and scalability.

Imagine the vertices of a triangle, it is impossible to change the angles of two vertices without affecting a third and in the same way if you lengthen the vertex of a triangle it also affects the angles of the other two vertices.

Bitcoin prioritizes decentralization and security at the expense of scalability.

Therefore, if or if not, we are going to need alternative solutions to the L1 layer to scale because we want Bitcoin to remain decentralized and secure. This is where the rest of the cryptocurrencies fail, either not accepting the blockchain trilemma or outright lying to users. If Monero were to have mass adoption with its dynamic block size, who would be able to run the nodes? Only the megacorporations like Apple, Microsoft or Amazon. And block size also affects security, the less decentralized a Blockchain is, the more insecure it is.

That said, we have to accept that not everyone will be able to use the L1 layer, Bitcoin does not understand rights, and we will have to accept the trade-offs of scaling solutions.

That said, neither drivechains nor sidechains are feasible scaling solutions in the long term as they are still blockchains.

Lightning is only scalable if we assume losing self-custody. If everyone adopts Lightning and we need one channel per human, it would take decades to open all the necessary channels (about 40 years), the fees would be huge and obviously not everyone could afford to open a channel, it is an oxymoron in itself.

And this brings us to ARK's vUTXO (virtual UTXO) model or statechains like Mercury Layer or Spark. The only way to scale and maintain self-custody, at least so far, will be to use these solutions that do not rely on a blockchain and accepting their trade-offs in terms of security and decentralization.

And for these solutions to be scalable they will have to face the challenge of leaving as small a footprint on the blockchain as possible, and this implies that many people will never be able to go out to the L1 layer.

The other alternative is full reserve Bitcoin banks, and this we know always ends up in a fractional reserve Fiat system. Both Satoshi and Hal were always very clear about these trade-offs in fact Hal himself talked about Bitcoin banks as a way to scale.

In conclusion, we must emphasize that Bitcoin does not understand rights, that Bitcoin has never been scalable, Satoshi and Hal knew it from the beginning, that the trilemma of the blockchain cannot be violated, it is like the laws of thermodynamics and that the only way to deal with scalability are layer 2 or even layer 3 solutions assuming the trade-offs.

We have no alternative to the Fiat system scam other than Bitcoin as it is, the rest are just lies and false pretenses.

Don’t forget to study #bitcoin 🧡

This is why animals’ pupils come in different shapes and sizes

I'd recommend Linux Mint, as it has a good balance of usability, respect for user privacy and up-to-dateness.

I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu since it has a potential severe security hole (something called "snap packages" which has been quite controversial), and Canonical, the company behind it is known for poor judgement irt. User privacy in the past. But it's okay as a learning environment, as long as you don't make it your actual go-to operating system.

#linux

i haven't had asthma in a bad way in months and now as i'm in panic because i have lost my bitcoin wallet, trying to find it, wheezing, hot itchy pain in my upper chest, difficulty breathing

i am in a trial right now

i think what has happened is i zapped the partition, made new partitions, then zapped the new partitions, and there is old partitions under the new partitions where this file lives

the go tool doesn't help me if i'm not running linux and my system that is not broken nor has any backup is windows

and i want to die right now, i mean, if i lost my stack i'm in the most utter dire situation

It’s not easy 😂

I went on two dates the past two weeks.

About an hour into the first one the gal said “I eat Oreos and nerds clusters every single night.” Which I promptly replied with “oh, you’re addicted to hyper processed foods. That’s a real shame.” Lmao

To that point the date was actually going well, this woman was quite attractive, but I completely lost interest when she talked about her dysfunctional dietary habits.

Second date, lady was based, interesting, attractive and has a flexible well-paying career as a trauma RN. Date was going great, we had good chemistry, she was receptive to libertarian ideas I gently tested the waters with and she even expanded on them.

Later in the date she asked flat out if I wanted kids, which I replied I did. She said under no circumstances will she have children and that it was a deal breaker.

We had an interesting conversation about anti-natalism but she got defensive when I made points about it being a selfish ideology that’s is easy to sell to people who are self-centered and that it doesn’t make any biological sense. But things stayed amicable, we moved past it and spent another couple hours laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

She texted me today saying what a good time she had, that she doesn’t usually have such interesting conversations and wants to see me again.

Overall I continually feel thwarted by clown-world programming most especially in dating.
