I was dying! 😂😂😂😂😂
They are so lost they are giving standing ovations to Nazi soldiers.
Who the fuck is calling the plays for the Raiders?
I don’t have any stats, but I’m starting to think that looking at global is not a good way to measure the liveliness of Nostr. If there was a way to get stats on each community centered around topics I think that might give better views on what’s happening.
Returning to old routines feels good. Went to the park to practice tennis with my daughter but I also made some time to go through the same basketball warmup routine I used to do in high school.
You always look crazy shooting jumpers with one hand so close to the basket, but it works to remind you of the proper form.
For those curious, no I can’t dunk anymore lol can still touch the rim with two hands if given a running start though 😂 I’ll take it
You know you made a good point when the other person doesn’t respond. Take note of it and save that point for later.
I agree with this lol drop the speculative trading part and it’s all good lol
It’s half scam and half legitimate collecting. Legit collectors are looking at collectibles like speculators
If you identify the characteristic of Bitcoin (fees) that makes it possible for it to resist government censorship, it becomes clear that it is not impossible for Bitcoin to be co-opted by governments.
No one can predict with certainty how much governments will spend in an effort to control majority hash power, nor how much will be offered to miners in fees to overcome censorship by majority hash power, nor the extent to which honest miners will be enticed by these fees to take on the risk (of capital and legal liability) of mining a heavier chain.

Sorry, previous YouTube link might start randomly in the middle lol

First, the main characteristic that makes Bitcoin censorship resistant is not fees. It is it’s flat decentralized architecture, imo. Fees play a part but it is not the only characteristic that contributes to censorship resistance. This security budget stuff is not a compelling argument for me, even in your rendition of it.
So, your argument is that governments can spend infinite amounts of perpetually and exponentially devaluing fiat currency to control hash power? Sounds like what the US empire is doing now to hold on to their empire, it is doomed to fail.
I don’t disagree that they can and will try. They could possibly succeed for a bit. That is usually their move, throw paper money at the problem. Good luck to them, they cannot keep it up for long.
The states trying to spend to control hash power are only digging their own graves faster. They will have to print more and more to maintain majority hash power in perpetuity, devaluing their fiat currency, and the amount they will have to print increases exponentially.
This is why I say it is not possible for states to co-opt and control Bitcoin by printing money to spend on hash power. They would have to attack it some other way.
So you just gave up on the “governments can co-opt Bitcoin” line of argument without attempting to demonstrate it?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Also, if you have to ask that question you should go study more. Mastering Bitcoin, by Andreas Antonopoulos is a good start.
No they can’t. If they could, Bitcoin would be worthless.
Yea I agree with that, very different point of view.
This is my point, you cannot fight through bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a weapon, he expands ands plays with the definitions of certain words so that it appears to make sense.
Also, he assumes for no reason that the state can adopt bitcoin and continue without dissolution. The state adopting bitcoin only furthers their own dissolution, it will not save them by becoming some magic morphing machine they can use to attack other states. His argument is an entire fallacy below the surface.
Any money they will make will be diluted out when they start printing more and more XRP and Eth. Which will happen if they actually merge with or become CBDC’s, because the state needs that functionality over all else and it all falls apart if they can’t print more even if they have the surveillance features.
Your friend, and someone I know too, is just rugging himself lol It’s easier for the state if people choose to give up their dollars for the CBDC if they are that gullible.
I have a mentor and business partner that believes similar to your friend and I can’t get through to him lol I think it’s because he sees it as a way to make lots of dollars in a speculative manner.
I also think it’s because he doesn’t get that XRP and bitcoin are not the same kind of thing. He is grouping them all together as crypto and extending Bitcoin’s virtues out to everything under the “crypto” category in a classic logical error.
I haven’t finished reading about Spiderchains yet, but I already do not agree with their motivation for creating one. All of the shitcoins lay out similar false premises for why they are needed.
TVL was a completely gamed metric
