Formerly @PortsmouthBTC on The Dead Bird. Used to do some stuff. Finally started doing stuff again. Possibly the only Bitcoiner to have *actually* lost everything in a boating accident. ๐ŸŸ 2013 ๐ŸŸฃ2023 #photography & #boatlife & #growstr #fishing amd #vibecoding fan and reforming church goer.

I resent the logic of that argument ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿค™

I'm on the south coast in the UK, in the absolute actual worst city in the UK for dentistry ๐Ÿ˜† I almost got the work done in Spain back in 2020 when I had more money but then...yeah. 2020.

Just woke up and realised I'm sat at the desk in the fiat mine with wavlake playing the top 40 and a warm empty cup of coffee next to me

Yup, I'd go elsewhere in the UK to get the work done but I know it won't be much better anywhere else

It's 2 which means, depending on perspective, I've either lived a life or...there's a couple of things to scratch of the bucket list and I need to get my arse moving ๐Ÿ˜†

Yes it is theft. Among other forms of criminality. Bitcoin doesn't need #transaction #fees. So they're taking money out of people's pockets for nothing.

The decrease in block reward is by design. All that matters is that people have enough incentive to mine blocks today and tomorrow.

At over $250, 000 per block, every 10 minutes. I think there's plenty of incentive. But If it's not enough for your budget, let somebody else have it..๐Ÿ˜†

Trying to alter the present based on a flaky prediction of Satoshis actual design for a hundred years from now is laughable at best.

So I'll tell you how I think it's actually supposed to work. The gradual decrease in block reward is by design. To slowly wean miners off of #Bitcoins tits.

Until such time that there will be no incentive needed to mine a block other than individual need and altruism. Just like Virtuous! #fullnodes today.

Bitcoin started out as a self-contained P2P electronic cash system. That's person 2 person. Not miner to miner or middleman to middleman.

And long before the block reward ends. 100 years from now. #Bitcoin will fully return to a self-contained P2P electronic cash system exactly like Satoshi said.

Smartphones and laptops will be enormously powerful. While they're power consumption will be minimal. In its wake Bitcoin will leave an abundance of cheap renewable energy for the world to use. As well as having innovated the harvesting of stranded and wasted energy.

Sometimes you people crack me up when you presume to understand the depth of Satoshi Nakamotos genius..๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ˜†

Where's the theft if the system is voluntary?

A state owned health care system "by the people for the people" "free at the point of us" that fails to deliver healthcare despite being funded by the productive members of society and run by people who believe they can better allocate my resources than I can is commie.

The NHS has never in its history worked well, we had a world class health care system in the UK yet it took the commies just 5 years from the founding of the NHS to begin removing treatments like dental work and just a few more to begin charging for medicines that were supposedly already paid for.

Yeah, that's grand, but our healthcare system is run by commies so...it's not just me saying it, they say it themselves.

They're bloody everywhere. ๐Ÿคฎ

Nah, these commies don't work, hence the dysfunctional health care system that employs people in non jobs with fat salaries while not hiring people to do the actual jobs that a health service should be providing, like health care. They do everything they can to avoid doing anything, which is why there is a back log of approx 6 million people waiting for care in the UK.

It will do, I'll make it work, fortunately I'm not in pain atm ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ™โ˜•
