Someday, Tesla’s will come loaded with 1 #Bitcoin onboard the ships computer.

qed -> ed -> ex -> vi -> elvis -> stevie -> vim -> neovim

Close mindedness upsets me. And gaslighting.

Twitter-style stream heads-up when your follows are in a room?

What's the point of running from me? I'm just gonna go harder on you. It don't make sense. Look I'm invisible.

I never said that. I'm just focusing on the one point of the thread, the point the OP was making. Your other points are fine and dandy, they just aren't relevant. I'm trying to stay on subject 🤙

And by omission, I just am a statist cuck who doesn’t want to see Bitcoin improve ld upon, I guess?

You keep pulling a single point out of what I’m saying and disconnecting it from the bigger picture of the perspective.

There are people who speak only in what they know to be reality via experience and there are those who enjoy speaking to the realm of possibility.

When someone says “let’s have a discussion” it’s absurd to engage with the intention of only considering the angle you already possess. That’s a debate, not a discussion.

But right on. Enjoy the box my friend.

🤘🙏🤘

I understand the perspective on objective fungibility (and its definition) that you are correctly describing. But it’s also (and only) true based on the system in which our experience and interaction occurs. That is to say because there is a massive set of agreed upon premises; that is the way fungibility works.

But just as with any concept, mental framework and most particularly societal heuristics, it is A) an entity of the mind (you can’t touch fungibility) and B) only remains true/valid until a consciousness revolution takes place.

I want you to know I’m sort of playing devils advocate here but Id ask you to broaden your threshold for possible simultaneous accurate perspectives. Its a basic tenant of Bitcoin that it holds a mirror up to the house of cards that fiat is. Its BTC 101 to understand that a 20 dollar bill is actually just a piece of paper. Its not the paper that is of valuable material; it’s the belief behind it. The collective acceptance that how ever many jumps down the layered money line, there’s a backing at the end transmitting assurance of value.

There are people in tribes that no doubt would see a dollar bill as just paper. And as current events and inflation show, the value and regard for those USD is changing, globally. But they are all still the same pieces of paper.

so, accepting what I just laid out as true and valid; you can’t talk ab money without including consideration for value. And value being also a mental construct is subject to change, conscious or un.

so yes it would be ideal that Bitcoin would receive a BIP that increased it fungibility; but I prefer to recognize another core aspect of Bitcoin. It is not an asset or entity under the umbrella of the current monetary system, or even societal perspective. It is a separate and closed system all of its own.

because of this I argue that there’s actually nothing a government can do that’s any different that a basic street mugger. They can make labels and lists and say any coins that exhibit x,y,z. are illigitimate: but that carries no weight in the Bitcoin network. They aren’t going into the code and altering it to reflect their preferences. Thier demands and regulations only exist in their fiat world and fiat brains.

You are not wrong. But I’m absolutely correct as well. Society is nothing if not a set of unwritten, agreed upon rules.

Gorgeous sunset tonight!

PSA: attn Apple users. As you prepare to lose access to zaps, consider the following formula:

Apple + Zaps + FOSS - censorship = GrapheneOS

GrapheneOS on a flagship Google Pixel offers a flagship user experience (and yes I've daily driven a flagship iPhone to compare against), but without the censorship and authoritarianism of Tim Apple.

Absolutely! That’s what I was saying when I said the whole idea of “blacklisted” coins or tainted corn is absurd. Govt will totally try to pull that shit and as users and a community a great way to circumvent that (assuming one of these upgrades we wonder about doesn’t come around) is to collectively not give a hug what central authority labels as “Blacklisted” or “Tainted"

it most certainly does have a record, serial numbers could be traced to the mint, to the bank, to the atm, to the person who withdrew.

and money has everything to do with believing and collective belief

Not sure if you're trolling or intentionally turning a blind eye to one of Bitcoin's flaws.

Fungibility has nothing to do with "choosing to see or ignore information" or "choosing to treat some coins as new". Any information that CAN be known is the problem. In Bitcoin the entire coin history can be known. With cash, the entire history cannot be seen. No matter what you choose to believe, there literally is no record of who held the coins and when.

Many of my friends hesitate to buy a small amount of Bitcoin, thinking it won't make a difference or isn’t enough.

But with only 21 million #BTC  in existence, it's akin to saying you needed to buy an entire city block in the 20s, rather than just a piece of land on it.

What's the value of that single plot today?

Much like real estate, Bitcoin is finite.

Invest in #Bitcoin — the quantity isn't the key point.
