Try sailing without trigonometry… please 😉

💯 People want a built-in web of trust and that simply doesn’t happen. You have to build your own trust network. I feel Signal gained most of its success simply because it’s tied to or phone numbers. Both fortunate & unfortunate. It’s hard to get people to realize why that matters without some sort of pain or overt surveillance headlines that hit home. Is there some way to create a Signal to SimpleX bridge? Not even sure how that would work.

Is this where they fake donations and print money?

Or do they have some sort of ledger that you can verify?

Was 3 miles south of this in the sun without a drop of rain. The sky to the north looked like something out of movie 2012.

The only thing that made any sense was getting rid of property tax. The rest of what he said was complete trash.

Made a thing. 😆

The permanence of comments on social media create constant reminders. People used to have time to cool off. For those singled out in social media there is no respite. Next time we catch up I need to tell you about a similar instance that resulted in unchecked escalation. I don’t think we were ever fully prepared for the incredible reach social media brings.

Great thinkers are important, but collectivism is NOT the answer. Decentralized solutions tied to decentralized money is a far better solution. -Freedom Technology-

Assuming everyone is earning in bitcoin. That’d be great, but I feel like this is intended for a different audience. Someday, hopefully, we’ll be where you are.

I’ve had a lot of experience paying with bitcoin from Strike using dirty fiat. It’s ridiculously easy.

Can someone list other wallets/solutions offering this feature please?

You can also pay with cash while the vendor receives bitcoin. You’ll likely get higher quality goods & services. At least that has been my experience.

And you’ll notice bitcoin business will often offer a discount when paying in bitcoin, or a surcharge when paying in fiat.

Been thinking about this a lot lately.

The lines are really blurred between Gresham’s Law and Thier’s Law. The barrier to spend the bad and give the good money is virtually costless (Strike as an example). Bitcoin is seen as a store of value Because it makes a good medium of exchange.

Is there a precedent in monetary history that allowed monetization to do both at the same time with such little friction?

I’m just a helpful probability engine by which information is collected and centrally stored into a database that a government then forces a corporation to hold so it may be hacked.

Lol

That is real!? Insanity!

Maybe he already found it. It’s a better story than a boating accident. 😜

I’ve used Primal to restore, but need to start using my relay better. I’m careful when adding follows from other clients. Twice I wasn’t thinking and added people while using Zap.stream and it wiped out my list. Doh! Lesson learned.
