Spam is not a threat to #Bitcoin

It solves most of it, but only the digital parts. This is my domain, etc.

To verify a physical person exists we'd need meetups. Unique personhood verification parties. Other real people sign that you were in a place at a time, thus you couldn't be at another place at the same time.

These would all need to occur together, globally synchronized and anyone 'there' would be granted 'individuality' privileges that we'd only want real individuals doing. In a social/community scenario something like UBI or access to food/real resources.

NFTs could be useful. They are not useful without the legal title / rights of traditional physical and digital property being linked to them.

Smart property could exist but the terms of the service/property would have to be built around the NFT. Presently, no NFTs actually have this legal side figured out. There is no there, there. There's the vision for these tokens to mean 'ownership' but as far as the art itself, the rights don't transfer. Nothing is granted. Nothing is owned. You can't stop someone from using the NFT art, only the original artist/company can.

There's only one current use case for NFTs, and most of these companies have no interest in building support due to the uncertainty of KYC requirements, money transmitter licensing and etc.

That is online game access/items/cosmetics. Skins. TF3 hats, etc. Anyone who is using NFTs this way, currently, is probably doing a scammy fundraiser taking on these risks because they're not putting up their own money, anyway. Also they're not borrowing the money to build this, the players are giving it to them. Once the legal situation is clear, we could see more games integrate NFT items/cosmetics giving players transferrable license tokens. You still won't own the art. You still won't own the game. The thing is, they could already do that, without NFTs and the legal uncertainty. They just don't want to. They want everyone to buy everything again, from them, not permit resale.

NFTs could be useful, but they're not really, not without the rights enforcement of the state being involved and that is antithetical to the whole DeFi/web3 ethos, I would think.

You're using too many words.

The government should not be allowed to [...] persecute citizens. ❌

The government should not be ✔️

We need tighter control of what they spend and we need to throw politicians that break the law in jail. ❌

We need [...] to throw politicians [...] in jail. ✔️

This is how lightning is designed. Not everyone runs a node and that's ok. It's for coffee not national reserves.

I am not sure how DMs work. I had a buddy on Damus and without relay.damus.io I didn't get his DMs?

Perfection is the enemy of the good. We can't have perfection. We can't fix the people themselves, which is what it would take to do this non-violently. Without some ideological authoritarianism for this issue.

You see, your definition of 'free speech' is a violation against others. It is outcome based, not opportunity based. You want an outcome that any speech, even the most disgusting, MUST be hosted and broadcast by others and may not be moderated for any reason, even performance, resisting DDoS/spam.

Forcing others to carry your speech is a violation of the liberties of the relay/host and your liberties end when others begin. Adapt. Go door to door to get to the grandmas. Do the work to get them into your relay. You have the means. You have the opportunity.

We've won, we're free. The rest is bonus.
