When you're out and you only eat meat 🤣

And so it is…

You’re dreaming if you think there won’t be a sustained period of conflict between empires

no. everyone just keeps the coins and is in no hurry to part with them. 94% of all coins have already been issued. but there is still no exchange of coins for goods. when will this happen? What % of coins must be issued for Bitcoin to become a medium of exchange and unit of account? 21 million coins is not only an advantage, but also a curse for Bitcoin. this is a limitation that has turned Bitcoiners into gnomes within their closed sect. no one wants to spend. everyone is just accumulating. you keep talking about bad government. but the government is in no hurry to harm you. you are harming yourself. the government only follows Gresham's law. The main thing for him is not to go beyond reasonable inflation limits. nothing else. it watches our eyes sparkle and our drool flow as coins rise in value. and smiles slyly into his beard. dollars and bitcoin obey Gresham's law. Bitcoin will never become a unit of account and a medium of exchange as long as the government prints dollars.

Should Bitcoiners trust politicians?

This is the shortest book I've ever read that changed my life.

It's "The Enchiridion" By Epictetus. Epictetus is one of the most important Stoics in history. He was a philosopher and slave. However, although he was a slave, he was more free than most rulers.

Here is the craziest part. Marcus Aurelius, the guy I cite daily, was emperor of Rome while Epictetus was a slave in Rome.

Both practiced the same philophy and wrote about the same things. Both had the same human challenges. Both knew that power and freedom comes from within and that only things that you can control can be moral or immoral.

A philophy practiced by emperors and slaves alike. Study stoicism.

idk why this is so hard to research, but do sub-saharan africans have any interesting history?

My first Start9 node is off & syncing the Bitcoin timechain. 400k blocks synced & only be 10% through the sync (sounds about right).

Super easy install.

I feel like I'm going to be recommending it to other plebs.

I'll be installing LNC in a few days (bye bye LND).

If using the Bitcoin Core wallet, is the wallet password the only thing encrypting the wallet file, or is there more to it than that?

Depends the purpose you are using it for. Rule of thumb:

You need small amounts available for whatever reason. In case these funds are lost and you won't fall in despair then it's okay.

If it is your stack that you want to save for years it shouldn't even be on any computer anyways. Look into cold storage options.
