By trust, I mean prove the existence of only 21 million.
Privacy is coming to the base chain though systems like serverless payjoin
Higher levels of privacy are already available through level 2s. For example, Liquid uses confidential transactions and is slowly growing in popularity. Lightning offers good sender privacy. Privacy is improving (albeit never as quickly as I would like).
I am very pro freedom and privacy. I personally prefer bitcoin’s model of a very high trust base chain with increasing levels of privacy through secondary systems.
The most important objective is to rip the creation and control of money out of the hands of the state. This control is the root of most evils. Which protocol is best suited to do that?
✅ ban external transfers to unregistered wallets…

Yes, nobody can explain the zero-to-one event. What came before the Big Bang? What came before God? Both evolution and religion require faith and the acceptance that something has always existed.
As for me, I think we’re living in a simulation. 😀

I’m definitely starting to feel the pendulum slowing down (or even starting to swing back).
My friend told me that there were “furries” in their child’s elementary school. When children start to believe their gender is a cat, every rational person can see that we’ve reach a point of ridiculousness.

I had a family member tell me he vaxxed his children for “the greater good”. And even if this shot had problems, he would do it again for the next shot because he “has faith in the science”. 🙃
The force is strong with you, young Jedi. 🎉🙌

Incredible! Doing my part. 🧡
🇨🇦 Ontario bitcoiners!
I was looking for grass-fed #beef while on vacation and met John and got a farm tour. He has a great family farm, focusing on organic and regenerative farming.
If you get a chance to visit the Stratford area, you’ll enjoy a visit. You can pick up meat on site, or apparently he ships province wide.
If you’re local or know locals, please help me get the word out. 🙏

I had a chance to orange pill him and can tell he has an orange heart 🧡. I’m encouraging him to join nostr so if you want to follow him, reply here and I’ll make sure you’re notified when he joins.

Twitter post scheduled for an hour’s time but the good people of Nostr obviously get to see my new pricing model first!
🚀🥳🧡

Interesting post. 👏
I’m wondering whether the technology adoption s-curve should be included in the model given bitcoin’s network effects as a tech platform.
Also, perhaps need to include a time decay for the USD, given monetary debasement.
JS module incompatibles are very frustrating. I once spent a dreary week translating one to the other. I feel for you.
‘Ask me anything’ style questions and answers here would help promote nostr. For example, you could tell your twitter followers that you’re doing an AMA here and thereby encourage more people from fintwit to join.
I would love to get your current thoughts and musings on macro. Especially if you’re organizing your thoughts because you’re seeing contradictory data and thinking out loud on what directions things might go. 🙏
