Engine control firmware is simpler than you think.

Vivek will never be a pleb. He is a lying opportunist elitist. Only satanists are eligible to govern America. Nothing we see in the news is real.

All praise for nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6, even if he's on the other side of the fence with his lack of eating meat, he is a warrior for our freedom and is fighting the battle where it matters.

Im sure the french government has something to do with it

By "base value" I mean the minimum amount of labor and goods it commands as measured in units of Bitcoin. This tends to follow an exponential, however as you've seen, it's very difficult to quantify since everything else also shifts wildly due to its market conditions, including fiat itself.

If you presume any price of bitcoin over this base value is speculation, and only serves to maintain its upward pressure (yet, is subject to continuous correction), then we can imagine a minimum value persists that is related to its issuance schedule. The "bull-run and bear market" cycle patterns are intrinsic to the nature of market adoption of Bitcoin, and perhaps necessary, to allow self-interested agents to contribute to grassroots marketeering of the new commodity.

It could have just as easily been programmed to follow a continuous declination of issuance over time rather than a four-year stepwise halving schedule. Also, the issuance adjustment could have just as easily been more frequent. But no, we were given an issuance schedule that can not only be easily remembered, but provides enough time for the market to fully absorb the shock of its change.

One might think Satoshi more than a cryptographic genius, but also one that either has an instinctual or a deep comprehension of market psychology. As I had once speculated by reviewing the very first check in of the codebase, I could glean that Satoshi had a corporate and Wall Street background in software. I believe the issuance schedule was carefully chosen based on some kind of ideal publicly traded asset behavior.

Consider the automobile. We humans perceive our vehicles are more powerful and that we are "going faster" if the shift pattern of the transmission gearboxes is stepwise rather than continuous. The early manual shift transmission provides a stepwise torque curve out of mechanical necessity. Today, with the more reliable continuously variable (CV) gear mechanism, it is unnecessary to alter the engine RPM. Instead, it's feasible to hold the engine at a constant RPM at its peak power efficiency and deliver a constant acceleration to the car. The reason CV transmissions do not do this is that people not only expect to be jostled around during acceleration to traveling speeds, but people will call for more power to maintain the satisfying feeling of acceleration and, consequently, will use more fuel, wear and tear on the car, but also think the vehicle's performance is inferior and not recommend it to their peers. Essentially, the perfect transmission provides an imperfect experience. It's this sort of insight into human psychology the four-year halving appears to harness. In the end, we end up in the same place, 21M, but the process, although seemingly shocking, yields an overall gentler outcome.

If you also accept that adoption will meet resistance from not only government policies but also out of self-interested individuals and organizations that lose power as a result of the transition, the changeover will also follow a corresponding exponential pattern that represents their gradual receding from wealth and prominence if only due to limitations on the human condition. This transition of power would contribute to the increase in base value of bitcoin to the economy.

One might consider a world in the absence of this invention had no better alternative emerged to these inferior forms of money, and this allowed certain structures and groups such as banking families and cantillion beneficiaries to indefinitely maintain wealth and power with little interference.

Just orangepilled my accountant this afternoon. I said its not too late, its still early, and she asked a dozen questions about how to buy it and custody it. Not trivial to explain addresses, private keys, seed phrases and multisig in 20 minutes but I think I didn't do too bad of a job.

I interepret the story as her wanting to marry the prince, thus Jacob's aquiscence. The initial act was likely concenting. However, ultimately, it was Jacob that failed to watch over his daughter and permitted the circumstance to happen. The defilement accusation is my interepretation of the brothers' actions, not mine. There likely was also a percieved fundamental incompatibility between the groups, and offer to intermarry was only part of the ruse on the part of the brothers.

Replying to Avatar pam

i think the idea was to be self sustainable? its like zapping dev, but its not enough, hence the grants. But if people were to put in 10% of their income into nostr, with tax exemptions etc i'm sure it would be more sustainable - but could lead to massive abuse of funds.

But I get what you mean. I was surprise that in the US and other large churches, pastor are millionaires - like wow lol. In the circle I am around, pastors are not paid, they are given phone and min travel allowances.

Interestingly, I'm a minority in a Muslim majority country where the majority race is socially constructed, religion is mandated upon the muslim race by constitution, there's religious police (literally) - like they would break into your house if there are unwed couples alone, and this majority race also need to pay their version of tithes, with a large gov't agency managing it, billions of funds, and makes large LP investments. And like everything in my country, it comes with major corruptions. On top of that, for the longest time, political parties were race-based. It cannot get anymore obv than that lol. A lot of the muslims in my country are nice people, a lot of liberal muslims, but the way religion is enforced into law can be at the point of madness and people don't realise it And this is not a convo i can have in my country openly as there is no freedom of opinions - there are laws that can literally silence you into mandatory detention camps. So i do understand where you are coming from when it comes to abuse and misuse of religions

Amazing. I grieve for you. The part of the world you live in sounds worse than Orwell's 1984 and I can't imagine what advanced technological surveillance would do to your life. Its this level of bondage the left associates with all religions, even if they themselves were raised Christian. There is little justice in the world, and the depravity of what the west considers Christian religion has its share of injustice and corruption. To endure your circumstance makes our problems pale in comparison. In the end there is ample opportunity to serve God, and regardless of religion, with or without or forced compliance, the ultimate purpose should be peace and unity with our Father and doing his will with our hands.

Jacob was being a weak ass pussy to his sons, not standing up to them. It is a disgusting chapter, I agree. Firstly, it says in verse 2 that Schechem was the prince, and his father had significant influence over the people. It also said the agreement to circumcise was made by the Jacob's sons and it was done deceitfully (Gen 34:13) and it was all a ruse. The Hivites also were motivated to circumcise themselves for financial reasons (verse 23) so their reasoning wasn't exactly altruistic. Their intent behind circumcision had nothing to do with a covenant with God, and these people would have obviously polluted the family given the most upright person among all the Hivites would defile a virgin. The dealing by Jacob's sons was dishonest, the hivites were immoral people, and Jacob was a puss for letting them act deceptively no less letting his daughter marry into the people.

Genesis chapter 34, the entire chapter
