Being born in 1960 I never knew we were living in a hard money paradise up until 1971 and the start of unbacked fiat.
So let's see. In the years before fiat there was no crime, everything was perfect, dow went up for ever. Humans had no illness and could telepathically talk to animals. The Sun never stopped shining and it was permanently Saturday afternoon for ever. And we had no poverty.
Now we have fiat food, fiat thoughts, fiat tyranny, fiat oppression, fiat androgyny, wankawankawanka......
Man the Austrian/Randian/Ancap industrial complex is filled with teenagers boys whose balls haven't dropped with tragic allergies to complexity
(Waaahhh mommmeeee, Ah needz a number on ever-y-weeeething!!)
Here comes the sweary INGSOC.
"proper way to understand Bitcoin"
So there IS a proper way. YOUR WAY. Riiiiight!
"We're all people mate.
I thought you were a Panda? "Mate"? Honestly, what a bore.
"And no, if your attitude to people is so negative, who the fuck would bother trusting you?"
"VERIFY, DON'T TRUST". https://mises.org/library/new-liberty-libertarian-manifesto
I don't have an attitude; YOU simply don't like being on a platform where people who don't think like YOU can say whatever they want, just like a good little INGSOC. Welll then, why don't you just block me and carry on with your thinking?
OH THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE IS NO BLOCKING ON NOSTR!
It is YOU that is giong to find life in the world powered by Bitcoin very difficult; YOU can't tolerate people who think differently to YOU. It's the greatest handicap of all. YOU ar the intolerantt one. This is about YOU.
Unlike YOU, Libertarians can tolerate other people and their speech. They know that all they have to do is not listen to people who they don't want to hear from, and everyone can live in the way they choose in peace.
YOU on the other hand, being an INGSOC, are not happy if there is ANYONE who thinks differently to YOU; those who are different must be rebuked, excluded, pilloried and then CANCELLED. This is happenign to Nigel Havers right now in INGSOC, for simply saying books should not be "updated".
It is your world that is being abolished by Bitcoin, and you are not going to like it. Thankfully you can't write to your "representative" to stop speech that YOU don't like in the coming Bitcoin powered world. People like YOU will be stopped forever; that's why Bitcoin was written.
Satoshi knew the side effects of bad money; bad people, nosey parkers, busybodies, the intolerant, the backwards, all having their "say" in how things are governed. That all ends NOW thanks to Bitcoin.
Will it be unvomfortable to people like you? YES.
Is that a bad thing? NO.
Is there anything YOU can do about it? NO.
And that's all there is to it, my Theakston's Old Peculiar friend!
What a fucking jerk you are @Beautyon.
Devon made some really good points and showed us the math. So what's your fucking problem?
YOU are the oppressor here.
YOU are the violence
YOU are the conspiracy
YOU are the reason people get turned off bitcoin because YOU make us all sound like angry hatefilled conspiracy nutbags just itching for a fucking fight
If you want to help Bitcoin SHUT THE FUCK UP and let people learn
Moron
America. Land of the Free.
But if we don't like you we'll call you savages, slaves, negroes, witches, royalists, homo, faggot, chink, irish, jap, kraut, jew, gypsy, cosmopolitan, gay, communist, unamerican, delinquent, democrat, pervert, child abuser and now.....
..our latest word we use for destroying the freedom of anyone we hate....
GROOMER (TaDa!!)
