This ironic situation is something I’ve been thinking a bit about.

I can sum up my thoughts like this:

- I want freedom

- A few evil people want to limit my freedom in evil ways

- Some good people want freedom for themselves too and are thus willing to join a coalition for freedom to stand against the freedom limiters

- The majority of people don’t care about freedom very much

It seems today the freedom limiters have managed to manipulate the indifferent majority into supporting them and, consequently, are winning. The freedom lover coalition has not been as manipulative (probably out of a misplaced desire to appear congruent). That’s probably why we’re loosing and, like you said, we will have to start influencing the indifferent majority if we want to win.

Sunburn is caused by high energy light destabilizing electrons in the molecules in your cells. Some molecules will become free radicals when hit by uv light. The polyunsaturated fatty acids that make up seed oils are one of these kinds of molecules. The double bonds between carbon atoms in the unsaturated fatty acid will turn into free radicals when exposed to the right frequency of light. Saturated fats do not have double bonds that can be affected this way.

It’s important to note that the body preferentially uses saturated fats when it burns fat, so once you stop eating polyunsaturated fat it’ll take a few years before it’s safe to go out and get a ton of sun.

cool. thanks for the discussion

ok, I think I finally understand your concerns. I agree a huge asp would be a risk.

Big custodians are also a big risk but the centralizing network effects for custodians might be less strong than for asps.

If I wanted ecash like privacy though, I’d rather put some spending money in a medium sized ark than in a fedimint though.

I disagree, bur if you really think that you should be even more critical of fedi. Custodial wallets are much worse for “getting out”.

Oh, you mean if the blocks are full because everyone wants to withdraw at the same time!

Yeah that’s definitely a risk. I guess you’d want to increase the time lock when the number of people in the ark gets large.

It’s their money, if they want to lock it would be nice if they also made a noncustodial ecash style layer two while they’re at it.

I think large bitcoin hodlers like the eos foundation and gbtc are a much bigger systemic risks.

That’s right. There’s no way to steal from you unless you somehow are unable to go online to publish your unilateral redeem transaction.

Of course, in some nightmare scenario where the asp is also 51% of the hashrate, they can steal (by censoring your redeem transaction). This is also true in lightning though, if your channel counterparty happens to also have 51% of the hashrate.

Can you tell me what you think the systemic risk is?
