CT are wrong, it would be better if maxis were more toxic and told ppl like saifedean/lowery to kys & leave before they wrote their books/papers

Advice to anybody considering moving to New Zealand: DO NOT. Unless you are sure you will never ever need police or medical or insurance services, don't have school aged kids, and you don't care that wages are low and prices are high, and you don't mind blatent widespread government-condoned racism against white people, or unless you are a criminal and want to find easy marks and want to do your crimes with a very low chance of being caught or punished, and even if you do get caught being held for trivial lengths of time.

As I'm already here and have invested heavily into my property which is not ready for sale, I'm just going to batten down the hatches and ride out the storm. Things have to revert to the mean eventually.

What can we do to protect ourselves from this?

Yes there is. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could derive private keys from public keys.

There isn't a supercomputer or artificial intelligence conceivable that can break the basic mathematical guarantees of #Bitcoin.

There is a quiet censorship war underway in Nostr. It can easily go unnoticed because you don't miss the accounts you cannot see. Invisible battle lines are being drawn.

Because I see people saying things, as if they're true, that I believe are exceedingly unlikely to be true, so I said as much. Humility does not negate having opinions. I have sufficient humility that if someone proves the existence of a conspiracy, I will eagerly evaluate the evidence.

Well, for one, it's almost impossible to prove of a negative. But on the argument to the affirmative, outside of innuendo, I see no evidence that it is.

I can't possibly prove that there isn't a red teapot in orbit of Pluto, either. But I'd be happy pronouncing there isn't, in the absence of evidence that there is.

What is my unwarranted confident statement, exactly?

Also, events that no longer meet the minimum pow requirements get kicked out. So the more pow, the longer it'll be stored.

Suspicious coincidences and innuendo can be easily constructed for anyone, anything, and at any time. Which is why, generally speaking, these kind of appeals are considered fallacious reasoning in rational and scientific discourse. So I don't know what to tell you. But I guess I would tell you that you're insisting on using things as evidence that centuries worth of philosophy pretty much tells us we shouldn't use as evidence to inform options.

Are there any relays that store ephermal events?

The WEF is a confab of self-congratulatory, self-important people, who demonstrate a detached relationship with the concerns of ordinary people. But it's not a global conspiracy. Everything is ten times more boring than you think it is.
