Politics divides. Trade brings people together. Destroy political power & set trade free.

I think you fail to appreciate how much more dangerous it would be for any female to play sports at all. If highschool males can beat professional females in soccer, the idea that highschool females would even want to compete & risk getting slide tackled is kinda ridiculous. I was once bicycle kicked in the face when diving to head the ball. If I was almost half my weight & female it would have probably been way worse, might have broken my neck. And what you are describing sounds like you don't want anyone to keep score either... "just let people play because they love it." It sounds like you live in some sort of fantasy world. There is nothing wrong with competition (which is kinda the point) or with enjoying the competition so long as it is SANE & HEALTHY & generally fair.

Segregating out the trans faggots & giving them their own league would make more sense. But then they wouldn't have anyone but each other to try to take advantage of & there'd be no established system to benefit from so they almost certainly wouldn't want that. Maybe put them in with the special olympics people. Competing against other retarded men actually seems like the correct placement.

Happy #Bitcoin Independence Day

Physical differences between men & women would just eliminate female sports entirely if there was desegregation.

The 203rd ranked male played the Williams sisters in tennis & mopped the floor with them. A male highschool soccer team beat the professional women's team.

Sex based segregation is the only reason women have a presence in sports at all.

If someone presents themselves a certain way & they never make it an issue then I basically have no problem with it, but if it's a painfully obvious lie & they want everyone to pretend otherwise, then I completely agree.

Why use Monero's future L2 if blocksize is dynamic & can adjust to any demand?

There is no exchange risk when swapping between BTC tokens. Liquid to LN swaps happen in the background when you make a txn from a wallet. So if someone doesn't support Liquid they get a LN payment instead. There will be similar bridges to everything else & LN forced closes will mostly be LSP problems, not average consumer level issues.

The MtGox payout was 5¢ on the dollar & it looks like somehow MtGox gets to keep a bunch of #bitcoin... It's amazing how fucked up the "legal" system really is. Fucking criminal clown world.

As several responses demonstrate, these considerations can be long and complex.

One simple answer is that not everyone will have enough savings to compete with the fees on L1. The bandwidth for a secure and decentralized store of value is limited and cannot be otherwise.

In a good case scenario we might achieve 7000 tx's per block. That's a million tx per day (7000 x 144) and 368 million tx per year.

For a population of 8 billion people, the above estimated bandwidth could be compared with a 21 year waiting time per transaction (if it was a queue system, which it is not). Since it's a fee system, some deposit amounts will just not be meaningful on L1 in relation to the competitive fees.

A more plausible figure is 4500 tx per block, equalling 648k tx per day and 236,682,000 tx per year. This gives a bandwidth of 33 years waiting time per tx if it was a queue system. (Again, which it is not)

Even if the bandwidth on L1 was significantly improved, not every person out of 8 billion would be able to compete with the fees. Some people can afford to use L1 hundreds, or thousands of times so the above calculations are merely hints that highlight the issue.

The solution *must* involve L2 - L3's.

It can't be 100% solved on L1 and this is not even related to Bitcoin but would apply to any L1 blockchain. L1 fees will outprice some people - this is inevitable.

Personally I'm happy to use Lightning and Liquid for amounts below $100. A free market competition on L2 - L3's combined with self interest (tx fee income for relaying) will keep the options secure enough.

As the L2 - L3 development continues there will be more options and greater security.

The potentially offensive part of this subject is that realism (A is A) is often misconstrued as non-inclusiveness. Reality is what it is and no other decentralized competitor to bitcoin can solve the problem for L1 bandwidth either. L1 has its benefits and drawbacks.

Fees are likely to be very high, but that's okay. Arks, ecash fedimints, liquid, etc will give us lots of optionality, lightning will bridge all the layers, & maybe signature aggregation will help most people retain the ability to have an onchain footprint of some sort.

Normie friend has confirmed that there is a significant difference in his kids' behavior in the afternoons or days after events involving lots of juice & junk food

I think we're going to get something much better... Listen to Bitcoin Audible & The Pear Report 😏

Being scarce & desired by many people are prerequisites to being a means of exchange. Scarce & desirable things tend to be decent stores of value. "I want that" necessarily comes before "I will trade for that."

I think services like Rumble might end up being good assets to our more decentralized protocols. They are a potential server farm earning sats for hosting in the decentralized internet of the future. They support free speech & they own their own infrastructure.
