There was a small period of time where people would both smoke pipes and wear calculator watches.

What a time

I don’t, but I do know that Bitcoin fixes this

STAY HUMBLE AND SELL STONKS

Vitalik is prepping the narrative for quitting. He definitely sees the writing on the wall for ETH

What a legend.

“Yeah he’s a good guy, but he’s too nice, causing bloat, and lacks the balls to do the job”

What happens to the other 60% ? Funding new things? The people want all the spending to stop and for 100% of savings to go the the deficit, not 20% smh

Yeah I understand how they work with other blockchains, but lightning isnt a chain and in order to turn off a persons coin, they would need to know where it ended up. Do they end up freezing a channel balance? a portion of it? what about the nodes that helped facilitate the txn?

If they do have less privacy then lightning then im even more interested in how it works from a technical perspective. I need to look into it.

Just wondering out loud. Still never using it. If there are no consequences though, and routing the payments stacks sats ... might still do that

i dont really understand how taproot assets work, i wonder if Tether will be able to "prove" to the US regulators that the coins on the lightning network are compliant with standards/AML stuff.

If taproot assets have similar privacy to lightning, i don't see how that can be the case.

Wouldnt be shocked if "regulatory clarity" and pressure from the feds would make them stop.

Gold is a safe haven. Bitcoin is a machine gun to fight back and is treated as such

I’m still only 50% sure that they’re not all feds though

Makes sense. My father in law each time redirects the convo to the “how it works”, then inevitably throws his hands up and says it’s too complicated.

My next plan of attack is to just avoid the redirects entirely and to focus on the “why” - like you suggest.

Why worry about not getting social security in 10 years when you could just get a heart attack at the ripe old age of 57 and die with bacon fries in your mouth

What do you mean, corrupt hedge funds? How is that different from a normal hedge fund

Any tips on orange pilling boomers? I just keep thinking of my retired in laws and how they have just enough to retire, but will get devastated by any inflation/monetary reset

I had an old college roommate that works at AWS tell me that 2% deflation would cause an economic death spiral. He’s gone bro …

Joe Rogan thinks shitcoins are “fascinating” because anyone can make one. nostr:npub13ql75nq8rldygpkjke47y893akh5tglqtqzs6cspancaxktthsusvfqcg7 sets the record straight:

“They are scams.” nostr:note1ygeu240pgpkrvj64vgyk0e3ys6fkzyag05xkjv2aud67x64satjq0l8xhl

Anyone being able to make one is what makes them not “fascinating”. People buy them to gamble since they are convinced that’s the only way to get ahead. Also not fascinating

Coinbase is a layer 1.5 and the NASDAQ is a layer 3

I miss the days Bitcoin was obscure and unknown and people had no opinion.

Now 100k-1m will have a lot more anger, regret, and blame as I still don’t think most will be able to change their mind now that they’ve decided it’s a scam.

Bitcoin inequality and revenge will be a toxic talking point.

Needs to happen, but I will miss the early days
