The fact of the matter is that chainanal is mapping he entir utxo set. Probably more than 90% of new users come in through KYCed gateways or ETFs and the anonset of people who have*avoided* KYC is only going to get worse.

Because when there is NO GOOD WAY to add entropy back into the system, it trends towards maximum surveillance.

You can argue that is good enough for now,

but Bitcoin privacy is in a pretty sad fucking state and its only looking to get worse in the short term.

Most of the network is already under surveillance and they *certainly* be sure when you do self transfers etc.

Beyond that you're just trusting the legal system to do the right thing.

Revelation..

Basically now setting up emojito.meme I can give a name to every GIF I have on nostr.build and can recall on #Amethyst every GIF I want just typing the name or scrolling down a list.. mind-blowing.

Business is business. Private is private.

I'm sure most people don't know about the double tap the zap icon on Amethyst 😅

I THINK I MAY PREFER TO LOCK UP A COIN FOR A STRIKE LOAN AND WATCH MY MONTHLY PAYMENT TREND TO ZERO..

THAN LOSE MY COIN BY SELLING AND WATCH MY TAX BILL TREND UP FOREVER

So worth repairing forever. Toyota should never stopped making the 2005-2010 RAV4, Corolla, Camry and SR5. Don’t change a thing just keep em coming.

They are trying to programme/train us like computers or animals.

Interesting 🤔 I am shown this as the top comment :

“ I have been an endurance athlete/triathlete my entire life. My perfect Saturday was a 45-mile bike ride, followed by an 8-mile run with a 5 hours rest afterwards and then an afternoon masters swim chased with several pints at the La Jolla Brewing Co. I always thought that my activity would make me bulletproof, and I'd live to be 100. 2 years ago, after a vigorous masters swim in the lead lane with an ex-olympian, holding times that I would be proud of in my 20's and 30's,- I went home, had a sandwich, sat down at my desk and (with no prior history - family or otherwise) had a heart attack. They told me it was SCAD (Spontaneous Coronary Arterial Dissection) It was a super rare type of heart attack that effects women having a baby (90%) and endurance athletes (10% male). It floored me. I asked my Cardiologist "what caused this?" he said - "I don't know". I asked, "Will it happen again?" he said - "I don't know". I now hang in the back, I am at about 65% of where I was 3 years ago, I take long walks and am enjoying the view from the middle/back of the pack. I'll be 60 next year, and I know my kids would like to see another 40 more.”

Unless I'm convinced it'll actually be worth the time and effort, especially given my lack of long-distance transportation, it certainly isn't something I'm going to "try harder" on. I've has enough disappointments trying to get in this space as it is. I do like the tech and I believe it has something that can help fix several major economic issues but I'm not a maxi cultist. I don't think it solved EVERYTHING. I also don't think it's perfect, either, with significant issues that would keep me from wanting to go BTC-only (I mean, the privacy concerns alone are enough reasoning to use altcoins like Monero for regular transactions).

Unless the goons in the government significantly reduce KYC regulations OR a feasible no-KYC or low-KYC method comes around, it's just going to end up being an "admire from a distance" sort of thing for me.

There is no deflation in Bitcoin. You are using these terms incorrectly.

the *supply* of new bitcoin decreases, this is emission or issuance. This is not inflation or deflation as there is only ever 21m bitcoin.

Monero has a tail emission, which is not *inflation* as no single entity or person can inflate the monetary supplyat will and by anu amount they want. We know exactly how much will be emitted, just like bitcoin. The only difference is Bitcoin stops at a certain date, and everyone hopes fees will be enough to secure the network ( it won't because everyone just sits on their bitcoin and doesn't use it like monero users use monero, as cash).

I am perfectly justified in comparing it to fiat because the study of fiat and gold is where these terms come from.

Lol! This thing is now 1600 dollars!!! And anyone can buy.

And just like that. Gif posting on android.
