Coder by day. Libertarian (it seems).

What connections can we establish between finding Christ, Christianity, the religious discovery in general and the Bitcoin rabbit hole. If you dont discuss it, thats ok, because I plan to write a few articles on this topic which sounded very interesting to me. I have seen many bitcoiners describe what can only be associated to a religious experience when discovering bitcoin.

And I think there's good reason for that.

He's so clueless.... It's really unfortunate. But hey, he's surrounded by people who know stuff about it.

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvql3tqm. Can I ask for help with something please? I'm not very versed in economics but I noticed this in Michael Saylor's presentation and I was wondering if I'm right or if I'm missing something:

So according to saylor, if you have 6.5 coins (or whatever amount) would could potentially have a crazy amount or Dollars in 20 years.

But my problem here is that - the reason why you may have millions in 20 years because the dollar is worth less (inflation) than 20y ago. In other words, it's the same bitcoin value, but the dollar just isn't worth shit and you need 1 million to buy milk.

So, when he says you will be "wealthy" that's not really true.

This insistence is measuring the value of bitcoin in dollars seems futile in the long run. It seems to me we should perhaps use gold as it's depreciation is far more stable and maybe say 1btc = 20 gold coins and in 20 years 1btc = 23 gold coins.

Does any of this make sense? Sorry for the long paragraph. I really appreciate you patience to read it.

Bitcoiners tend to be Bitcoiners because they questioned everything around them, everything in front of then, until finally they sought alternatives.

Given this, it's surprising to me how quickly they cheer on for false politics.

As a non-american, something else I've noticed is how ingrained politics, and specifically the "left" and "right", are in the day-to-day lives of the people - It's like a soap-opera and everyone has to discuss and vote because they have a script to follow, it's rather fascinating.

I think there's more to it than that though. There's a curtain to be pulled and a realization that politics haven't worked the way everyone hopes it does (every.single.time) for a very long time. As such, we must seek alternatives, once again.

I believe our tribe ought to place more focus on their self-interests (which coincidentally, due to incentives, benefits everyone) and separate them from politics, and this is done first and foremost by conveying every day, in every way, the separation of money and state. As a Bitcoiner, and I believe many other Bitcoiners who are partaking in the politics also feel this way (albeit may be forgetful), I'm here to ensure my sovereignty and in the process ensure state cannot meddle with my money, with our money, because our Bitcoin works as it should.

From the mention and reciprocating cheers of Bitcoin strategic reserves down to the issuance of stablecoins, that is not what politics promised in this event. To be clear, I don't believe a strategic reserve is bad in itself, and can see potential benefits to stablecoins for territories whose currency has been essentially destroyed, but really... How does that benefit Bitcoin? It doesn't. It benefits the dollar hegemony and prolongs the fiat lifeline along with all its interests and all its puppeteer strings and it will keep those territories under its foot unable to develop.

Trump's speech was an affirmation of ensuring the US's global dominance by ANY means necessary. That is not what one should want. That is not Bitcoin. Don't forget, Bitcoin is for all. And Bitcoin does not work, if it only works in the US.

I thought Trump's speech (the one written for him) was moderately good, but written by someone who struggled with mixing MAGA and Bitcoin in a cohesive text. Its when he went off-prompter that we could see how ignorant and rude he was. And I am (was) a Trump supporter... which made me very sad.

I think we should simply ignore Trump and really focus on people who understand bitcoin and I think RFK Jr. is a much better person will have lots of traction even if not elected.

Disagree.

Devs need to code better BECAUSE we need to upgrade the hardware all the time. - meaning that no matter what you do, hardware will need to be upgraded and that forces software to change. And changing software is more expensive than changing hardware. So coding well, is important because sooner or later we need to change the software.

Interessantemente, nao ha noticias na televisao sobre isso.

Interesting choice of words if you think "the endurance" was Shackleton's ship.

What a sad spectacle that was.

Someone mildly versed in bitcoin wrote his speech. That speech contained 2 or 3 carrots for bitcoiners.

But the disaster really happend off-prompter - he was discourteous, rude, ignorant and utterly close to an old car salesman. And I liked trump. It was kinda pivotal moment for me.

Hey Lyn! Can I ask for help with something please? I'm not very versed in economics but I noticed this in Michael Saylor's presentation and I was wondering if I'm right or if I'm missing something:

In this case, should we not agree with Snowden and introduce anonymity features into bitcoin? I think that's what he said "he's been saying for 10 years and ignored for 10 years".

Unless we have anonymity, we can only develop so much. It's also consistent with antonopoulos "sewage rat" evolution theory where bitcoin needs to be threatened in order to develop the necessary antibodies to resist?
