I'm not against ordinals on chain, but they definitely don't have great timing...

I was raised by the internet, wouldn't recommend it, but I turned out alright. If a parent is negligent, that doesn't mean a kid can't figure it out for themselves. I'd say, it set me back 5 years in terms of responsibility/ethics/etc. But that's life.

There has to be an ordinal structure of authority regarding children. Ambiguity leads to what we have now. So who gets first place in terms of responsibility? Always parents. Parents have been shitty for millennia, but who's a better person to put at the top of the authority hierarchy, the government?

So no, I would be careful about allowing my children onto the internet, but I am absolutely against the government getting involved, period.

Dude, don't tell me the UK gets tax free gains yearly...fuck me

Is this intended to free up memory then? Increase the effective size of the mempool by screening out ordinals?

If your plan is to ride it out in a country that's openly hostile to bitcoin because yours is private, GL finding trading partners. I'll be taking my mostly kyc bitcoin, elsewhere.

So what, it prunes this data?

Tucker stands a real shot at remaking himself, good for him. Contrast this with all the establishment comedians like john Stewart who admit the bare minimum.

I think its high time I read "the creature from Jekyll island"

Mmmm you know, this really puts the CBDC shit into focus, of course that's what they want, of course they are pushing for it, and of course they are a hell of a lot smarter than the public face they put on it.

Steady, stabilize, and two pronged approach (Q/E+rising rates)

Its not priced in, it is general sentiment, you won't know whether its priced in until after it happens; even then, who's it priced in for? Day traders? It won't be priced in for struggling banks or zombie companies rolling over corporate bonds.

But, I agree, my call is 25bps.

Its bad phraseology. The point is that people watch blocks being built quite a bit, and if there was a trend of unhealthy blocks being produced (like the statistic available in mempool.space) then people would figure that out very quickly. From there, its up to you to redirect hashing power to a different pool, with the knowledge that if you don't you are losing transaction fees from censored transactions. Redeploying your equipment to a different pool is a lot easier and fast than dealing with something like, staked ETH.

Its a bearish wedge followed by a dead cat bounce into a Fibonacci retracement, by god!

I lecture at work on things like electrical theory (including some digital circuits and motor/generator) as well as internal combustion engines, evaporative and adiabatic cooling, refrigeration cycle, heavy industry related stuff. I have been interested in holding classes on this platform where I take a class of maybe 10 people who can actively participate, and the class is streamed for everyone else to watch.

What I need is the tech wizardry outlined explicitly for how this can be done to preserve my pseudonymity, like where to stream it, how to allow people to participate etc.

If you are serious about losing faith in democracy/government, you should check out Keith knight of the libertarian institute. He is one of the most carefully researched and ideologically neutral anarchists out there. While Michael malice and friends are fun, Keith makes him look like the kid that just repeats whatever his parents say.

I didn't see that one, but "q-anon into the storm" was interesting, maybe a bit hyperbolic. "Don't fuck with cats"

Dare I say this is a problem with lightning implementations and available hardware altogether? How do we bridge the knowledge gap from me, a kid that grew up building homebrew PCs and pirating games, to you, someone who sounds like they are comfortable and at home sending money around on lightning. I still squeeze my buttcheecks a bit moving money from swan to my trezor.

I like this, I think organizing thoughts helps drive critical thinking, so this would be a healthy development.

I remember in the early 2000s it was still cool to say its important to save money, both as an individual and as a society. I'll never forget another kid at school getting upset at me ~2008, I had said that people who were saving money were stupid and that the economy requires people to spend. I think that's around the time this narrative really changed towards seeing saving as toxic.

I mean, it probably depends on what level of the monetary hierarchy you are asking this of. The people who set monetary policy don't seem to understand what creating value really means, and the Normie's who finance don't understand where that money comes from. No lie, someone at work thought the dollar was backed by gold last week.
