seems to me the only thing we know for sure is that climate has always changed..
we just don't know how much change is normal or why it happens..
They just want an endless war.

Once they've hollowed out ukraine they'll just switch to iran or something.
Nostr is the social network of last resort, as bitcoin is the money of last resort. They will both be here forever it's just a matter of time before everyone and everything moves to them
My information needs confirmation, but this is somewhat a deceptive advertisement since it's not actually Bitcoin, but rather Bitcoin Cash (BCH). You can actually see the "Cashxxx" format in the address in the video. So it seems Ecash (or spelled eCash, as per their website: https://e.cash/) is a XEC, a fork from BCH.
different ecash
the idea of ecash predates bitcoin by decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecash
well they should be nonstarters!
but even UBI under bitcoin would be malign, as it creates this total dependency on the state, while undermining your confidence in your own autonomy
of course it would also be unaffordable, so luckily we don't have to worry!
The ethical implication and potential consequences would be basically the creation of a slave state.
That's why "globalists" want it, quite obviously. As with climate change, covid, endless wars, etc etc, the "activists" don't care in the slightest about the problems they profess to be attempting to solve - which is obvious when you see the straightforward lies they use - but instead are only interested in measures which increase their power.
ABI is exactly the same. It's literally communism but with the addition of total surveillance tech.
OK but the real attraction of ABI is to create powerless zombies who are entirely dependent on the state, using money you can print without limit or cost.
If you had to do it with real money it wouldn't work!
it literally means anyone who doesn't accept and promote the official narrative
it's a reasonable heuristic to assume doctors are either stupid sheep going along with the pharma industry in trying to fuck you, or they know what's going on and are still trying to fuck you.

just add zeroes..
(Assuming you mean *no government*, rather than *no leaders*, which is what anarchism literally means).
It comes down to the economics of violence.
Say you get rid of all govt etc. Pretty soon someone with greater capacity for violence is going to come around and take your stuff, rape your women etc.
So a few of you get together and pool resources to defend yourselves - which is economically much more efficient than trying to all do it alone.
Boom: you now have government. You need to raise taxes (get contributions to the pool), have some sort of decision making about how to defend yourselves etc. Rather than live by volunteering it probably makes sense to have some people to focus on particular aspects of it, and they'll need to be paid for their time.
At that point you might as well use the structure to do other things that are economically more efficient from pooled resources, like maintaining communal roads.
Note that even if you don't get together and pool resources successfully, you will be ruled by whoever has most capacity for violence - and they will be your government instead.
I'm really excited about this. Blossom is deceivingly simple, which is why it is powerful and why it has a chance of working.
What #nostr got right (and Bitcoin, for that matter) is that duplication is a feature, not a bug. "It takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but hard to stifle," to quote Satoshi. De-duplication is a fools' errand, as it assumes a God's-eye-view. A global state is required to properly understand what to delete and what to keep. The second problem is of course indexing and discovery, which is indeed a hard problem if a global state is to be avoided. It's hard, but solvable. Especially if you already know what you're looking for, and especially especially if you have a common and purple-coloured discoverability layer.
Blossom is basically copying what nostr did for notes and applies it to arbitrary files. Instead of relays handling events, there's simple HTTP servers handling files. Like relays, servers are interchangeable as they share the same interface, encouraging duplication and redundancy. Instead of uploading something to a single server, you might upload it to five different servers. Popular and/or important files will be on many servers, which is how the online world works today already. Files that you need often might even be served by a #blossom server that is geographically close to you, just like we now have local cache relays packaged with some clients (or that you can self-host on your home server).
In the best case, Blossom will organically mirror what YouTube et al's content delivery networks already do well today, which is to provide file hosting that is high in availability and proximity. The neat thing about it all is that you can provide monetary incentives as it is nostr-native, and you get web-of-trust characteristics for free, as you can use only your servers, or those who are trusted by your friends, etc. And in the future, we'll probably have paid servers that whitelist npubs, just like we have paid relays now.
So why is all of that awesome? Well, here's the thing: as the user, you actually don't care where a file is hosted; you just care about the file itself. The current iteration of image (and other) hosts is incredibly stupid. Images are uploaded, downloaded, and re-uploaded without end, often with massive loss-of-quality as the same image is compressed and re-compressed a hundred times. It's always the same image, or at least it *should* be. With Blossom, it actually is.
Gone are the days of finding a thing and uploading again. You just need the hash, and the thing will appear. You could even insert images directly in notes with something like a blossom:ef1c26172f55017c9d9d6afa7cf22605b237b0fe92425e81e3b5e24d46c95448 and each client can choose how (HTTP, torrent, I2P, etc.) and where (public servers, private servers, etc.) to retrieve it from.
But wait, there's more. Remember the monetary incentives we talked about? It is what allows for the emergence of a proverbial "assassination market" for files: you provide the hash, along with a bounty of 21k sats to anyone who can provide the file most readily. Servers could provide cryptographic proof that they have the file, and you could escrow the money until delivery is done and you verify the file on your side. The building blocks are already there, we just need to put them together in the right way.
Blossom is one of the most exciting projects that came out of the first nostr:npub1s0veng2gvfwr62acrxhnqexq76sj6ldg3a5t935jy8e6w3shr5vsnwrmq5 cohort, aka #SEC-01. I'll have more to say about all the other amazing #SovEng projects that came out of the discussions and collaborations we had, but now I'll have to go and upload some files.
thats terrific, thanks for the explanation
Agree its definitely coming - tho we have seen this movie before with segwit2x, and the suits got completely wrecked. That was the biggest moment in bitcoin's history imo.
What did it was the futures markets showing suitcoin would be worthless. That's gonna happen again (but now everyone also has the knowledge that it happened before, making it even more certain..).
It's going to be the moment when the whole world realizes that bitcoin cannot be stopped, and if you expect hyperbitcoinization, that's when it will start.
can't believe i had to scroll so far for this - clearly the best.
shakira was amazing, i think j-lo was probably a bit embarassed to be shown up like that.
the only one where you felt the crowd were really into it.
lol i don't think that's what incredulity means 😂
seems more like the bitcoin price drives global liquidity from those pics.. 😉
yes, dehumanising the people they are attempting to eliminate.
I was in Israel a long time ago. we found a children's book on a train or something and it was basically saying Arabs are dirty, diseased, subhuman etc
I think they're fucked now though. they are going to either have to literally kill all Palestinians or accept that one day they will live in a country run by an Arab majority, like whites in south Africa.
