Step 1) create a verification badge that is activated upon deposit on X amount of sats
Step 2) create filter for users to only see posts from sat-verified users (optional of course, you could even let users decide threshold {only see posts from 250k sat verified accounts} or something

Saboteurs. Don’t be alarmed and don’t change behavior
Gotta have leveraged derivatives so they can shake people out of their coins and hoard the supply.
Remember, real money priced in fake money is nonsense.

The problem with buying oil in hard currency is, for poor nations, they end up not being able to afford energy as the price gets bid up by economies of scale.
We’re moving towards a world where energy gets priced in USD, CNY, Gold, and bitcoin, depending on who’s trading with who. And for the poor countries, they’ll have to use another country’s fiat as a reserve in order to access the energy market because they’ll struggle to acquire enough hard currency to satisfy their energy needs.
Correct. And if you and I know this, how long do you think other heads of state have known?
The reality is, the world is dependent on us because even getting siphoned slowly in USD is better than holding any other fiat currency. Without other countries holding the dollar, they’d have to purchase oil in their local currencies.
Good luck with that lmao
Our economic dominance and WRC was by virtue of being the only viable economy on which to back a currency for the past 80 years, and continues to be so to this day.
It’s not American exceptionalism. It’s American reality. No other country possesses the American consumer. China would have to hallow out their manufacturing to shoulder the burden of WRC, something they’re not willing to do, and because of their coming demographic collapse, they lack the population to field a successful service-based economy.
We’re coming to find out that in the world we’re moving into (declining demographics, multipolar geopolitical landscape, etc) having the reserve currency proves to be more of a burden than a benefit. It’s easy to run financial deficits when the rest of the world is dependent on your money to trade and store value. In a multipolar world, sustained trade deficits makes you the dependent.
The United States will at some point lose reserve currency status but will retain military and economic dominance by virtue of having the most productive economy, and the largest combined resources of gold, fossil fuels, bitcoin, semiconductor manufacturing, etc.
The American empire ends when the United States stops having the most military bases in other countries than any other country on earth. Military dominance is the meta. The empire ends when it is put down by a new empire, like every empire before it
Brother, nothing is black and white. There are undoubtedly good people doing good work in the CIA. Don’t mistake a nuanced take for him being “scared” Lol. Unsubscribe from the binary thinking the state pushes people towards.
Marathon already did this and received much backlash.
Zerohedge reporting based of coindesk info looks to be the best it gets
There’s no engagement algorithm that boosts visibility based on zaps or anything so I guess it doesn’t matter too much.
Codifying the State’s authority to redistribute wealth only guarantees that the authority will have to be wrested from them eventually.
Codifying the individuals rights to aggregate wealth only ensures that eventually the State will be needed to break up monopolies and redistribute wealth eventually.
There is no one size fits all solution. Wealth naturally aggregates at the top of any system, and the power to redistribute wealth is inevitably abused. This is human nature, and even in hyperbitcoinization you will see power structures emerge they will eventually abuse their wealth discrepancy. They might not be able to alter the protocol, but they can use their wealth discrepancy to alter other things which ensures their continued advantages.
Question: Apple has said zaps are a no-no. Obviously the mood around here is fuck Apple we zappin. So my question is I suppose the community is basically operating under the assumption that Damus is going to be removed from the App Store and so it’s like a “so remove us then, we zappin” type mentality?
