Hoping to make it to 2140.

serious question - haven't you previously said that ecash is *not* Bitcoin?

There is zero conflict here..buy new sats and send them, what is hard about this?

I don't fault him for the career choice and effort in making it succeed.. I'm faulting him for the lack of self awareness.

Admittedly it's a high bar..the quote it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon him not knowing it comes to mind.

It's just about education.. at minimum, it is nearly seemless and free to buy Bitcoin and pay with it instead of fiat (thereby exercising the Bitcoin payment rails, while also not touching the stack. Also keeps it clean from a tax perspective until that gets changed too.

I think the Knot's folks believe the marginally more expensive economic hurdle (to go out of band) makes an impact to reduce non-monetary tx's, and that with larger adoption of a loose consensus of such deterrents, the effect would grow towards an effectively full deterrence (or much greater than now). It's a valid argument and hypothesis, and I'd like to see it tested, not talked down as not a valid hypothesis.

$300 sushi, now musing on first class quirks, your priorities are showing.

Values over value

Same as it ever was, earnore sats than you spend.

Watched it only once when it came out, and it has since, over time, become a constant mental reference in the background of my mind. As an example, the Matrix also did this.

Ya, maybe time for a rewatch.

Investing in USD by selling your sats on belief alone is not rational, and is becoming increasingly irrational.
