In principle, no.

What if you're so humble you don't have an ego? Are you supposed to do the serving yourself? Sounds unfair.

You may catch some rain on the road!

But I think if you burnt it, your intuition is correct too. It's no simply the water you remove. The water absorption rate is not directly proportional to the water content, and when you start to mess with the rations and the composition (by burning it), the absorption rate will shoot up too. So double sounds about right I guess.

Don't know mate, but it seems to be a problem. For instance, your reply was automatically hidden. Perhaps because you're showing a 2.

Does the @Coracle WoT have any practical impact? I mention cos y'all showing single digits on my feed, most of you have a score of zero, and myself, I only have 1 point.

he advantage is also that you don't have to worry about your wife's finger size when you burn her ring and give her an NFT of it instead.

For me the use-case for #Bitcoin as a MoE was planted in multiple instances:

1. Satoshi releasing Bitcoin in Jan 2009 with “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” embedded in the genesis block. All developed countries were put through the ringer during the Great Financial Crisis, including my business.

2. Reading nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak ’s The Bitcoin Standard to understand money, what’s wrong with fiat, and Bitcoin as a world-view. This allowed me to see the full path: SoV, MoE, UoA

3. nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe has really opened my eyes to seeing everything as Bitcoin-first, including seeing the fiat system’s inflation and oppression.

4. Accepting Bitcoin/Lightning payments for my products, which is my way of getting involved with Bitcoin as MoE.

I read the book, and many more, and I am a well-read free market libertarian, anarcho-capitalist, however you want to call it, so I get it.

Still, lousy and unnecessary as a MoE for daily, common, mass use. It will never replace fiat for that, and we don't even need it to do so. As long as we use it correctly to protect our wealth or for very large transfers of value like the purchase of a house, in which case, it is equivalent to selling one piece of property to buy another.

So, nothing related to paying lattes on the beach then, as I was saying. The use cases you mention are valid and can be summed up as "cash" (anonymous money) and "property" (collateral), which again, are not the main use case we see in the less developed world (payments) which keeps being pushed on us by certain bitcoin "influencers".

Third day I'm not able to even load the website. Anybody else?

I have the slightest sunray sneaking through the tiniest crack in the most remote corner of my apartment.

Oh, and a cat.

It is free the moment you put it out there for free. That's the nature of content in electronic format: once you put it out, it's not your anymore and people will simply not pay. Why would they?

It boggles my mind, this insistence that people somehow have an obligation to pay for stuffs that's made available for free, voluntarily, or that they have to pay a certain fixed amount, but without explicitly making them do so by putting a price on the access to that content. If you feel you deserve 1 dollar instead of 1 cent for a piece of content, have the courage to paywall it.

V4V has all the incentives upside down and will never, ever, "work", if "work" means paying as much to the content creator as they would get from a paywalled system.

There are many invisible things that irritate the fuck out of me at 08:30 in the morning. But few do as much as trailing blank spaces after periods on a supposedly professional piece of text from work.
