Christian, Geek, #GoPackGo, #Bitcoin, Pilot Anarcho Christian? Maybe Happily Married 30+years

Me texting my wife with my plans.

Her: That's fine

Me: Uh oh....

To be fair, I don't get engagement from X either.

"It's my project and I can do what I want" can be both true and irrelevant. He can do what he wants to his project. But that doesn't mean he can prevent forks.

Getting nostr to where it is absolutely was difficult. But that doesn't make forking impractical now.

The core protocol can't change on a whim. If that happens tons of different clients break.

I remain skeptical of your claim.

1) If forking nostr is in fact a myth then I would agree with what you're saying.

2) However, Nostr is merely a protocol that is implemented by many clients. I personally use noStrudel and amethyst. I'm not sure how 1 is true.

3) It's unclear to me why you knowing FJ for 10 years should give more credibility to your argument. Either nostr is forkable or it isn't. And the answer to that question doesn't seem dependent on you knowing or not knowing FJ.

Two possibilities:

1) fiatjaf really does own an open protocol that he can impose unwanted changes on everyone

2) the changes he's put in place people approve of enough to not try to fork off a copy of open code

My presumption is with 2 because 1 seems impossible if not highly unlikely. I'm not sure how to force unwanted changes on people who can easily ignore them. To me this is the same argument as Bitcoin core developers control Bitcoin. Something I'm also skeptical of.

Of course, maybe I'm missing something that would change my mind.

A pilot and Bitcoiner? That's a follow.

I'm commercial instrument and own a Cherokee 235.

What type of things won't it work for?

If I continue to use a regular credit card for most purchases can I use ACH thru fold to pay off the credit card?

If I were to move to a #bitcoin standard -/e.g. 90% or more of my income goes straight into Bitcoin, what tools can I use to pay my bills using Bitcoin.

A Google search brings up BitPay. And I'm already skeptical.

Interesting. What stands out in my memory are the opposite: problems that were easy to solve only after they were properly described.

There's very little like the views you get flying IFR through the layers

Touch sand.

Guilty. Let me make up for it now: GM, Gigi.

I have been getting bombarded with MMT by multiple social media platforms.

Do people who espouse that idea think money is a resource, that money is capital?

Money is access to resources and capital. It isn't resources and capital.

So when people say that debt isn't a problem, that's it's merely the accounting side of money being spent into the economy, they act as adding money to the economy is a good thing.

I disagree. When the economy produces resources and capital, that's good, but, when additional money is arbitrarily created into the economy, it doesn't magically create more resources and capital. Instead that new money chases existing resources and capital. Driving up their price. This is inflation.

The MMT response seems to be that they can control inflation by removing money via taxation.

But in doing so, they're replacing the daily purchasing decisions of 100s of millions people with a few politicians making government spending decisions on their pet projects.

Politicians, of course, are big fans of that. Maybe that's why it's turning up in all my social media platforms.
