sorting zaps by size might be the killer app
NO REGRETS
growth occurs in relation to environmental stressors
TRUST THE PROCESS
bitcoin is getting stronger BECAUSE it adapts to the stressors of organized power. whether it's a government agency, an influent miner, a NY agreement or any other existing or emerging monopoly, for bitcoin it's all the same, and part of the evolutionary adaptation to humans
the users and developers of bitcoin CHANGE in order to react to these stressors in an anti-fragile fashion. not just static robustness but reactive adaptation (read taleb)
if you don't believe enough people around the world are knowingly betting on a system that can actively adapt to monopolization, bitcoin isn't for you. buy some real estate
bitcoin NEEDS to be challenged to get stronger
1000s of faceless coin mixers instead of one whirlpool
1000s of local LSPs instead of one phoenix
1000s of local P2P trading venues instead of one coinbase
1000s of micro miners instead of one marathon
if consolidation of service providers wasn’t a problem the federal reserve would have been just fine
bitcoin itself, and the way people use it MUST adapt to be able to route around single points of failure. the samurai case couldn’t be a better wake up call
it’s all about the ROI on violence. if the state cannot jail 10000 “unlicensed money transmitter” it will give up
scale bitcoin down to the Dunbar number
bitcoin doesn’t eliminate the need for trust
what it does is push trust to the periphery, instead of pulling it into the center
the answer for secrets management is trusting your family and friends with shards and social recovery
the answer for scaling will come from dunbar number uncle jim operations of LN routing, mints and local pools
the answer for trading is p2p cash on a personal level
the answer for mining is more localized distributed mining
unlike the nation state, which is financially incentivized to centralize power and decision making, bitcoin is designed to be a trustless structure that enables all kinds of models of trust at the edges
yes, organized power can come first for the exchanges, the big mixers and liquidity providers, the public miners, the payment processors, but as more and more of these operations migrate to the periphery, the return on violence to come after them is reducing
it’s not a conspiracy. the government needs to know stuff
i’m afraid bitcoin might be dead again
everything that happens is just something on the path of bundling or unbundling
what fork are you for?
yeah, O.G is from 90s gangsta rap
the world could have been perfect if it wasn't for mosquitoes. it was really that close
this guy burned fast

what i like most about nostr is that it’s still not cynical like twitter, nor is it superficial like instagram
it’s the most authentic medium i can think of right now
