Lol, shut it down, how?
The high fees have had me thinking about this a lot lately. I currently have no channels open bc i don't really have any reason to send bitcoin daily (though I'd love to) and the cost of opening a channel right now is quite prohibitive without some real motivation to pay the price. The day I can use bitcoin on an amazon like platform, I'll be on a bitcoin standard and never look back.
He can. Corporations can put unrealized capital gains on their balance sheet.
Talked a lot about the ability to put limitations on what welfare disbursements could be spent on and prohibiting it from being used to avoid sanctions. Of course the glaringly obvious issue I saw was if that is possible, then making your money expire is possible, locking down your wallet is possible, etc. I did bring up the growing weaponization of the finance industry and how programmability can be used to unplug political dissidents and other draconian measures.
Absolutely! Discussed this the other day in one of my law school classes when talking about CBDCs. We were discussing the "benefits," one of which being the programmability of money.
Its gotten pretty insane. I was just thinking the other day about my public school experience and how much more sane it must have been then now. I'll never put my kids in public schools when I have them.
I too became more politically independent and open to religious views. Growing up I WS always worried about having enough money and getting a job that will make me enough money, but when I found Bitcoin I started to feel secure in my financial affairs and started to have optimism for the future.
Heard someone refer to a mouth as a "grocery hole" today and that's my new favorite phrase.

Random thought from a law student while listening to Stephan Livera today: could antitrust law be used to breakup mining pools who get too big?

Thats wild. Would like ti visit Stl sometime. Never been, but I'm from Atlanta and have no desire to return.
I haven't been to a McDs since COVID because they just can't run a drive through anymore. I honestly don't know how they stay in business.
Probably not nearly as many water bottles and lighters. The government even knows they're useless, they don't even trust them enough to issue guns.
