Well, if I'm not alone in worrying about this then I won't sleep easier but I'll know I'm not the only one 😆 you're welcome.

I'm more concerned that, to exist and survive in the CBDC hellscape, existing manafacturers would be willing to submit and stop producing/shipping chips we need for ASICS

I'm not sure - it strikes me as our greatest weak spot. Chip manufacturing isn't globally widespread, just look at the problems the US is having trying to bring the ability and skills needed back home - Taiwan is the global leader...if there's war, or trade blockades...

Ideally we'd be able to decentralise the skills and capacity to manafacture chips, but for now, perhaps, stockpiling would be wiser.

That's just completed the mental picture in my head 😆

My German ex described Bavarians as the Americans of Germany...

My only concern for #Bitcoin is chip manufacturing. If that gets trapped in normieville under CBDCs how in the fuck are we going to maintain network security?

I can see a two tier world emerging and I'm okay with that. Let them that want slavery submit.

It'll be easy in countries with social security. First it'll be anyone getting money from their government. Then contractors, state employees etc. Then they'll start restricting people on welfare's ability to by cigarettes and alcohol and working people will cheer as financial control becomes normalised. Then it'll be expanded out for other reasons, each time for a reason the public will love...

It's a damn shame

As a first edition millennial, there's not enough of us to support our Gen X parents...shits going to hit the fan a lot sooner. I already don't like the idea I'm expected to fund other people's retirement when, were it not for Bitcoin, I'd not be able to retire myself.

Which ever one you e got set in your profile - I'm recieving zaps at WoS and sending them via Zeus

This is looking great

Bit of a flaff, but worth it - that zap didn't cost me any sats

Strange new bug when I zap via phoenix on Amethyst.

It gives me the choice of wallets to open, I open it, send the payment, but now, instead of switching apps back to Amethyst, when I do Amethyst is a replica of the Phoenix app and I have to close both and reopen Amethyst.

What a fucking palava.

I figured the marketing team got the right person for the job.

The only surprise to me was the number of actual men who admitted drinking the muck.

Get a real beer ffs.

Ah, my mistake, thanks, yeah, I didn't know he'd left because, like the near identical conversation you've just had with someone else, he blocked me on the dead bird app

Isn't that the one run by Kim dotcom? Didn't he become a bsv shill?

Just heard the deep purr of a merlin engine and looked out in time to watch the local spitfire banking overhead...always a stunning sight to see. Beautiful aircraft.

Yet, when you point out that their precious fiat currency is used for far more money laundering and crime that Bitcoin ever has been you get blank stares...

Cheers, that's handy to know
