Govts are coming for Bitcoin regardless of what names we use for the various aspects of the network. I think the various pieces of the networks are going to centralize during different points in time before new tech disrupts that. Mining it self is already pretty decentralized with the pools, but ideas like stratum v2 and fedipool will help immensely with decentralizing.

If the US govt cracks down via taxes on bitcoin, what happens then?

Jurisdictions friendlier will draw in capital and resources. I think the same is true for mining.

If we’re worried about govt capture of mining, complaining about words is not the solution. It’s a distraction. Educating people on home mining to drive more sovereign hash is a solution. Open sourcing diagrams/schematics/etc for mining is a solution. Fedipool and other mining enhancements are the solution.

Space boi’s theory is super interesting but don’t get hung up on words. Dig into the core idea about obviating kinetic violence in favor of electrical violence.

There are lots of things to delay the inevitable hyperbitcoinization. Govt crackdown on multiple facets is one of them. But lower your time preference. If the US govt adopts bitcoin as a weapon or national defense initiative, do you think that would increase or decrease adoption? Visibility? Dismissal? Unfortunately, there is a large portion of the world that still believe what the US govt does is legitimate (that number is growing smaller and smaller), but if they label it as critical munitions, every other country in the world is going to rush to do the same and more eyeballs will be on bitcoin and more people will come to understand bitcoin more.

The road to hyperbitcoinization is bumpy for sure. Jason’s thesis is wrapped in military jargon but at its core, it’s an interesting idea to ponder.

Nailed it.

We are so used to shitty 'everythings' that we have an entire generation that have no idea that a refrigerator or a washer/dryer was expected to be reliable for over 20 years.

Had a Maytag dryer from the mid- 1970's? That shit was f'ing bulletproof.

1980's Ford Bronco? We called them 'battlewagons'.

My kids have never known me to buy something and not replaced it inside of 3 years (except for our Chevy). #[0]

Is amethyst the leading nostr android client?

I came here to chew bubble gum and zap some sats. And I’m all out of bubble gum.

Thank you

I even understand the Lowery simping to a degree. When he first showed up I was intrigued and even excited about his ideas. It seemed fresh and aggressive for nation state adoption which had started with El Salvador.

After listening to plebs counter his framing/reasoning with Code is Speech and understanding what Bitcoin as munitions would imply going forward it all became obvious.

Bitcoin is software which is code which is free speech.

Bitcoin is NOT a weapon. I fully reject this narrative framing and don't think it will ever pass muster.
