Quality song. Prefer this one though:

There is a book called ‘Crystalising Public Opinion’ which depicts a compelling narration of how after WW2, the ‘elites’ concluded the people could not be trusted to vote.

The idea was simply that their vote must be directed from the elites.

i.e. you think you vote for your interests and self determination, but the information you use to decide on the vote is manufactured for you.

That process started in the early 20’s for advertising purposes to create the consumer. It was expanded to cover a broader range post WW2 when Edward Bernayse realised if you could use ‘propaganda’ for war, you could use it for peace and compliance.

I think you would like that book.

The last sentence is correct. It may be uncomfortable to read, and/or you may not see it as your responsibility ( which is fair too ) but the reach is greater on Twitter.

It is where the worlds collide.

Here is preaching to the converted ( for lack of a better phrase. )

I only found my way into bitcoin after finding quality voices on Twitter circa 2018/19. That would be impossible today.

lol. I read this as “my girl is falling apart” 🤣

Predestination is a good one.

Yep, He makes an awesome psycho in that movie!

This isn’t a Bob Malakas source, is it? 🤣

Nice interview. I have a noob question.

If you can identify the people in a coin join, doesn’t that undermine the point in doing the coin join at all?

Am I being dumb here?

Is that TopRoller account on here now?

We will need to agree to disagree here, I think.

It looks like you have smuggled in ‘it won’t make sense’ without specifying why, as if it is a given people would just agree with.

For me “there will only be 21m bitcoin” is more powerful an argument to not mess with it.

The entire premise of bitcoin is its fixed supply. No hand waving will obfuscate the fact that there are now 1.2 quadrillion bitcoin - especially for those who already want to throw stones.

I heard this argument before. It doesn’t matter what the protocol level is IMO. And to suggest the scarcity perception changes that come with it don’t matter, seems bizarre to me.

“There is no such thing as words. There are only letters that make up the words, so now we call letters, words”

We’d have a hard time explaining why there will now be more than 21m bitcoin, if you could.

I’m 36 mins into this, and have two prevailing thoughts:

1. The idea of Dark Matter being worked out by the difference needed to make an equation work, is more common than we would think, e.g. it is exactly how economists work out ‘velocity of money’ too lol.

2. I bet he doesn’t know what an XPUB is 😂

Seems like a super smart dude though. Will be interesting to see where it all goes!

I’m ready to he hated.

I refuse to call them liberals.

Historically that would have meant ( amongst other things ) support of free speech.

They are way past thinking free speech should be paramount.

Twitter is where the worlds collide, or where the rubber hits the road etc.

It will always be more ‘entertaining’ IMO.

That’s not to say there aren’t tradeoffs being on it, but for pure chaos, Twitter is where its at 🤣

Deffo not block size. Suspect ‘cache’ means something else on there
