The best reason is that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity, He founded the Church, and He wants all to be part of His mystical Body.
A better priest would help one find a better reason.
I'm pretty sure a simple parabolic formula that still results in the same macro level output would be a very fast calculation. Plus, proof of work makes that tiny amount of calculation seem trivial and basically negligible.
You're right. Edited.
There's always that possibility. My NIP05 has been updated, so the hacker must have got into my web hosting account, too, or else I am whom I say I am.

I don't know about that, however. The steps make bitcoin "newsworthy", but smoother might have made it "safer" and attract people who are still nervous now 🤔
The four year cycle was initially caused by supply shock of the mining reward halvings, but the subsidy is slowly being overtaken by transaction fees. Over the next cycle, the fees might overtake the subsidy in the macro, and then the cycle is nearly only due to the memory of the investors and not a real market mechanism.
I wonder if bitcoin had a steadily reducing subsidy, and the rate of decrease itself decreased, producing a continuous rather than step function over time, if that would have been better or worse.
As more people hold, that lower bound where there's always someone to buy goes up, and the same for the tops and someone ready to sell goes down. It's not just supply and demand of bitcoin versus dollars, but also sellers and buyers of the two. More people means less volatility and a tighter top and bottom.
Right. If what that graph suggests continues, calmer highs, milder lows, and more steady growth that no longer excites the crypto bros. Good riddance! DCA becomes the best strategy.
The trend in 4-cycles is diminishing. I'm not expecting a repeat of the 2012-2016, nor exactly of the 2016-2020 cycle, but I will say the 2020-2024 cycle was weird because of global politics, so *maybe* somewhere between the last two cycles.
Step one: let the American people keep more of their paychecks.
Step two: initiate tariffs to cover the lost tax revenue, but only after eliminating waste spending
Step three: companies raise prices on imported goods due to tariffs or choose to manufacture in America.
Step four: Americans have more money because of tax elimination, but spend more money because of increased pricing downstream of tariffs.
Step five: because of lower taxes, companies can hire more people and/or lower prices, which means greater value added to the economy and balancing down the tariff price increases
Step six: more people in the workforce and lower taxes means local economies see a big boost since more value, and thus more money, is made but doesn't have to leave via taxation.
Step seven: the greater opportunity gives young people hope, and they enter the workforce with greater zeal, further increasing the economy
Step eight: the greater economy makes the tariff price hikes not feel too bad.
Step nine: people marry and make more babies because hope is restored, and the cycle of prosperity continues.
Need open source hardware that has inherent security. Not this centralized, back-doored hardware that some tech oligarch can just open up so a government can violate the rights of it's citizenry.
Does Nostr have a good number of crunchy, traditional, and/or Christian/Catholic SAHMs here?
If we don't, what can Nostr offer them that Facebook and Insta don't? For one thing, no censorship of "vaccine hesitancy" posts.
Well, they definitely had a hand in it. You should really say Christianity built the west. Each of the most influential early European populations who helped shape Western Civilization were Christian at the height of their power and influence, including Greco-Roman, Germanic, French, English, etc.
Many of them. There are some legitimate life coaching training programs. The biggest difference is people who think they're experts and will just tell you how to live your life versus people who will actually help you figure things out for yourself.
NVM. Has to be hex, not npub format 🤷
