amateur photographer and shitposter // cant spell or read #thebestengineer @ theworsturl.wallet (yes, i got a free domain from coingecko)

it cant, dont know if you meant my post but neither can be stopped

i dont mean changing anything to fiat, i mean anonymising my btc thru monero

which part of what you said doesnt apply to bitcoin?

quantum computers will also see thru your technique...no?

i find that the harder a maxi is the more it is impossible to get a good comment about anything other than btc

do you really believe monero has no single perk that bitcoin doesnt have?

i look at it as simple as, scams and shills will always exist, on any field where money can be made. food, cars, tech, tools...pick anything

imo, eth is a perfect place for scammers and scammeds to meet, better there than btc

if only btc exists, all types of shit will meet onchain

let them meet somewhere else, i encourage anyone that wants to use any chain, just do you...if you loose, you loose...

i dont like when plebs bash monero...

thats the one crypto that has the same ethos as bitcoin with some extra perks and way fewer value

it is my btc laundering chain, btc goes in, wait a few days, btc comes out...

its quite the perfect btc anonymizer

rich colours has its own ring to it when it's paired with 1920's

i look at zapping as a zero sum game, the zaps go around and you get what you give

do you consider zapping as a stacking opportunity?

i started nostr with 0 sats on my wallet and all zaps i get are being introduced to the community

i was deemed worthy by my zappers and ill find people worthy of my zaps

3 months break and i only remember when i see posts about weed

i dont get all the fuss about how hard it is to not smoke

ohh, so people could use biblical punishments?

like, "let him who is without sin cast the first stone"

it will be a stoning fest, without a single stone thrown

sarcasm asside, public opinion is too easy to manipulate

the west in general is in decline because family values and decency were traded for obsenity and greed

TV manipulation and lowering education standards dont help either

rough times ahead and it doesnt look like decent values will be reinstated anytime soon, reason i moved out of the city to a rural place

i am all for religious morals, but without real world punishment it wont work

i was raised catholic, sunday school from 6yo to 18yo

it just thought me something i understood along the way

treats other like you want to be treated, dont step on other people

do you think all christians obide by that? i know they dont, the worst people i know personally are very religious

im not anymore, if there is a god, i will meet him with my head held high knowing i did well by others

i dont pray, dont go to church or spread the word, i just do the best by the people i meet

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I really don’t believe in the user bearing the ultimate responsibility for themselves. Not in today’s world.

I’m willing to bet 90% of you did not read the TOS of the last service you signed up for. Of course, there are some that read everything, but most probably don’t.

In the normie world that number is closer to 99.99%.

Being 100% responsible for your own actions would mean you’d have to read all the TOS and decide for yourself whether you should continue.

But we know nobody does this.

There are certain things we cannot verify for ourselves and where LAWS actually make sense. We live in a society that is held entirely by laws, not by good will or whatever imaginary thing people believe. Without laws we would not be here. We would not have a court system (no matter how dysfunctional), no enforcement of property rights without violence. Society would be hellish. Tribal warfare.

To say Worldcoin should be left up to “free markets” is total bullshit. Yes, I agree, it would be NICE if people did the right thing for themselves. But we’d be lying to ourselves if we didn’t acknowledge that NOBODY read their TOS when they scanned their eyeballs. And even if they did, they would probably not understand the implications of this action.

Hence, we turn to laws. We already have consumer protection laws that actually work and do protect us from certain things. Lead in the water, horrific death from negligence. Fire retardants, safety codes, seatbelts, all the things we take advantage of without actively thinking about took some terrible events to make into law. Look up how and why seat belts become law in US if you don’t believe me.

Besides, even if every one of us were perfectly capable of making a fully autonomous decision, there will always be groups of people who aren’t - elderly, young, disabled, divergent, whatever the proper terms are today…

Worldcoin is taking advantage of the developing world first for a reason. The lure of money is tempting when its tough getting by as it is.

Besides, your free markets aren’t all that free anyway. When the system upon which “Free markets” are based on is itself corrupted, the market isn’t really free. Just look at the Robinhood fiasco. So much for free markets there.

We could argue about the last points for hours, because people will say, yeah but you had a choice! Well, yes and no.

Point being - “free markets” are not an excuse to ignore the realities of the world and the necessary constraints society puts in place for all of us to function. Let’s not delude ourselves into thinking free markets are the answer to everything. They are not.

you are right, i agree it shouldnt be legal to have your citizens data scanned and stored by anyone without very strict rules (no out of country storing for example)

but that would assume politicians have their citizens best interests at heart and are competent

its a hard subject to enforce on something that can be put in motion faster than laws can be made

and, scanned retinas are forever stored...

also, lead was a great example as it was a health concern that killed tons of people

but would you buy a car that wouldnt start if you didnt use the belt?

taxi drivers where i live use a seatbelt tip to shut their car up from beeping...

people bend the rules at their own responsibility

i still agree with your base idea, no personal info (or biometric) should be taken by private companies (even more so if they are foreign)

exactly

how can you make it illegal to scan your citizens if a project like that can go live faster than legislators can understand whats happening? and by that time...its too late

think uber, taxi drivers tried to block ubers from being legalised

by the time governments started discussing if any Joe could jump on their car and be a taxi driver without registering it was already too late, uber was too big to be messed with

scanned retinas wont ever be deleted, that data is saved forever

can you make china purge all military data they have from the usa?

the data collected might never be deleted and there is little that can be done about that

i think its wishful thinking to believe any valuable data is ever deleted by request

why would someone open their hand of your data if they can just keep it

a simple rule would be, throw morality out, data is bigger than money now, biometric data is the holy grail

if people are willing to sell their biometrics for made up tokens...there's no salvation for them anymore

just do you, teach yours and pray yours are never brainwashed enough to end up on that group

its rough playing the civilized game

whats your personal flex that you always do and are ok with

i always top up my fuel when i go to the pump, no partial refills

its funny to me how a guy named similarly became the CEO persona for the movement

"i am not satoshi nakamoto" becomes the real face of satoshi 😆

i dont know how you could make it illegal when it happens faster than laws can be put in place

it's a problem having your citizens retinas scanned by a foreign company but by the time its illegal those scans are done and the data stored somewhere

i guess it would even be possible to have that done by yourself on your mobile if they really wanted

this is the falacy of gun control

it will make it harder for decent folk

criminals will still be armed to their teeth and shootings wont stop happening, but anyone with intention of following the law will have a hard time complying...

hard to grap for some people but its quite simple

can't people use contact lenses?

who could try that and get like 10 identities...

i know this one:

grift, verb

: to obtain (money or property) illicitly (as in a confidence game)

: to acquire money or property illicitly
