and Google has said they will stop making Chromecasts, also. The best 'tv' device IMO

of course not, you still need to make yourself dangerous and costly to attack, the same way Bitcoin must do that.

but that is also something individuals can do. It is only our modern world that would have you believe that it is natural for individuals to depend on others for such critical defense.

A few individuals with nuclear weapons can keep even the greatest army in the world at bay. North Korea is no shining example of freedom for its citizens, but geopolitically, it is the most free nation on earth. It can hack, steal, launder, and organize itself and its society as its leaders see fit. It can do anything it wants because its too costly to attack.

Bitcoin does that. You can do that, too. Many insurgents around the world do this quite easily, and they prove very difficult to destroy.

Being free is uncomfortable, but it is possible. Will the masses choose this? Never. But that is only to say that most people don't want freedom, most people want safe slavery.

What do you want?

The arbiter will be protocols, not coercion through violence.

You don't need a violent monopoly to do enforcement of a protocol. Violent monopolies take over the things people were doing anyway, to give themselves legitimacy. People do the things they want, without coercion, even governing our society. Yes, people like and want governance. They don't want governments.

Bitcoin has shown us how to develop a consensus and enforce it, without any empowered agency or government. We can see with languages, that we naturally participate and adapt to protocols, without a central arbiter of what is 'English', etc.

The only functional difference between current forms of government will be the centralization of it. Instead of every government function being held by the same small group of powerful people, each protocol will run on the nodes or brains of people actually using it. There would be decentralized governance, divided among many protocols.

I do agree, that we shouldn't tear down what we have. The protocols to replace them don't exist. We don't want chaos. We want anarchy.

Anarchy is simply being free to try alternatives, and if they work, being free of the coercion of the existing government. That last part is the trick. How do we try things and keep them, if they work, when the existing governments claim that the only functional system must involve centralization of power in their hands?

At that point, when we have our alternative, like Bitcoin, we must reject them and fight them. It is inevitable.

Oh my. That looks like the legit, never frozen, fried okra. You can't get that shit at any restaurant. Proof of Work, here, folks.

Anarchists build things that don't rely on Authority. Non-anarchists build things like Facebook and AWS and Azure.

Anarchists build NOSTR and Bitcoin.

In order to engineer a system that rejects Authority, you must be a person who can imagine a functional and peaceful world without Authority. That's an Anarchist.

Anarchy isn't chaos. Anarchy is the market. Is the market (in it's totally free form) anti-social?

Does the anarchy of a free market produce chaos? It produces innovation and it allocates wealth to the best among us, and it does all this without empowering any individual to a privileged position. It permits radical reorganization. It's anarchy, but it's not chaos.

It's order that is natural and that survives on its merits, not because order is enforced. It's still order, but it's righteous unlike authority, which is the alternative.

The question for you, do you want an authority in your life, or do you want Anarchy?

Retarded anarchists built Bitcoin and NOSTR and TCP/IP. What have Libertarians ever done?

We are Bitcoin Nation. There is no State. There is no body. We each choose the protocol we enforce at our node. The resulting consensus is downstream of the individuals. In a State, helpers are directed and their actions downstream of State interests.

Weekly works for me - You can't quit, sorry.

Nooooooo ...

Does anyone know of another 'single provider signal booster' regulated by the FCC other than Nextivity's CEL-FI GO X?

There's 20 of the cheap broad spectrum weak ass boosters, but only one actually effective booster available?

Hurray for our "free market' FCC regulated capitalism.

This will not scale but not because the technology has failed. This won't scale because many people want to fight and rage. We few that are here now are not rageful, but hopeful. We're building, not burning.

Once it's built, it will serve the rageful and the hopeful alike. They will each find their people, and find each other too.

Treat the rageful with patience and they may eventually see there is hope, if they decide to look forward instead of back.

Exactly. That would be epic. thanks

nostr:npub1sd3wwlvl6f58yzs4ss90x07e4dwd7yl6h3n0pygpz9vqjcxd99aq90vwne - Hey, love your content. Any chance on a jig for using a hand-router (not table router) to make shaker style cabinet doors? (to cut the groove, mostly, for the panel)

Thanks.

Who cares what they tell centralized spot markets?

Bring it on. All of it. I seriously want them to be at all out war with Bitcoin. There must be a demonstration of Power, in order for most people to accept that it is immune to the laws of Nations

It is inevitable, lets get on with it.

The people crying about what happens in Washington D.C. are in business serving Bitcoiners and their business is at risk.

The question is, how many of them are willing to fight for this Revolution in Liberty? Like Shapeshift did, discarding years of effort to reengineer the whole business in order to reject KYC/AML regulations. Stop crying about Washington politicians.

Prepare your businesses to reject the State, if they reject Bitcoin.

I can't find this anywhere else.

The problem is that people think parties are the problem, but more parties is the solution. Proportional Representation is the industry standard protocol for a modern Democracy for a reason, it works to force compromise among small interests to create a level of consensus, typically just majority rule, but that is configurable.
