The CCP is bad. The end.

Why would AI be hostile? Are we hostile to them?

And how KYC prevent this? Actually, how it's related.

I'm sorry for dumb questions, but I really don't follow

i don't see how kyc would have helped. would you mind to share your thoughts?

I have literally no problem with the US government forcing divestment of TikTok by ByteDance. None. I don't see how they can "ban" it without running afoul of the First Amendment -- and should they try to engage in direct censorship of the platform through something like mandatory filtering by ISPs, I'll be right there with you all.

But if you think forcing a Chinese company, serving the interests of the Chinese Communist Party, that wants to spy on our kids, and manipulate their worldview, with the goal of destabilizing our institutions is "all's fair love and war", due to some highfalutin libertarian principle, than you're actually a moron.

*then

you mean crack the bitcoin protocol? at that point bitcoin is worthless so, AI, be my guest. it's all yours ...

Many people were stacking at the top and are finally sitting on 50-100% gains. The incoming crowd suggests we might not be successfully attacked in the US as more people partially join our side.

That being said, we need to keep emphasizing liberty, holding our own keys, Coinjoin, P2P, open source etc. nostr:note1myfj7gzxle62cvhv6hgta65t58gn2ukwrev497zz47wrcuvshneqmlh4w9

The way I’ve been doing it is to not mention bitcoin at all unless they ask how the micropayments work. Just say, on the open nostr network you can send micropayments to tip people and pay for content and services.

Honestly, to a non-technical person, they don’t really know the difference between PayPal, apple wallet, a bank account, western union, a credit card, or pre-paid debit card.

If they are concerned about bitcoin, it’s either because they feel crypto currencies are speculative bubbles (bitcoin is lumped in with everybody else) or the environmental impact of mining. I say lightning transactions don’t require mining, the only impact is the occasional and limited reconciliation on to the main bitcoin blockchain. I avoid the arguments about mining and its carbon impact, just say, lightning is a network on top of bitcoin which doesn’t need mining to work.

Just like nobody asks for the hashing function on nostr vs bluesky vs farcaster, most people need to know what it can do for them, what pressing problem it can solve, not how it solves it.

2000 sats to the first person to guess the word I'm thinking.

There will come a time when all revenue sources will be with #Bitcoin

There are several different types of intelligences, but I become more convinced every day that they all bend the knee to resourcefulness.

When the ETF coldwallet gets "lost", will there be a hard fork war?
