I used to believe regulatory capture is existential to Bitcoin.
But reading Saifedean, I became more convinced on his theory of a currenciesā emergence.
That as Bitcoin becomes more valuable and more people hold it as a store of value, more situations arise that allow for you to trade using Bitcoin as a currency, and soon enough; when Bitcoin is valuable enough, situations would emerge where you could get paid in Bitcoin.
Only then could anonymity on the source of the money could be attained. When you get paid in Bitcoin, and furthermore, contrary to what other Bitcoiners might believe, I donāt think we should force Bitcoin to be a medium of exchange when the alternatives are better. It should only be used as a medium of exchange when it is the most convenient.
Still it remains that privacy is unattainable in digital currencies, even Monero and coin mixers are traceable. Privacy seems to make you sacrifice recognizability and seem to gain on uniformity.
I used to be concerned about privacy, and thought that it would enable the state to censor transactions, till I got this.
And its debts keep on growing. Itās worrying.
Letās not let perfect be the enemy of good, Iād much rather Bitcoin too.
While AWS is down, observe the reliability of Nostr. Without centralization there is no central point of failure.
Almost the entire internet is down, and I trust that Nostr still operates normally.
While YouTube is down, observe the reliability of Nostr. Without centralization there is no central point of failure.
Be with her. Even if she would prefer to go alone at least be close.
While surveillance is greater than it could have ever been due to the internet. The full effects of the internet have not been fully realized. Bitcoin, Nostr, and other liberators are not widely used.
I donāt think Nostr lacks normies as much as I believe it lacks the variety in opinions. I do believe Nostr is actually too homogeneous.
There wouldnāt be a major difference in hardware performance if they developed a new PlayStation now, so I doubt they will.
Hot take that I would not say publicly: she is a really good actress, her acting skill had made the show much more enjoyable.
I will cede to that she is goddamn ugly and she does not fit the gamesā representation.
Even then I bet those ants wouldnāt justify slinging cobwebs at the other ants on the other side of the line.
If an oil refinery were to pollute an environment it is destructive of the surrounding property and is judged and could owe compensation. Similarly a smoker pollutes the property, I disagree with the French governmentās claim to property ownership, and its use of violence to place itself as the arbiter, besides that there is no fault in banning cigarettes in public, taking taxes is a far worse offense of our rights.
You are right, I actually started using them around the time ChatGPT came about, not because of it directly but perhaps by seeing it more often.
One other critical thing is that I wrote my thesis around that time so I knew to add it as a keyboard shortcut, which makes it more convenient and hence I now use it more often.
Without the State, who would send armed thugs to threaten to harm you for taking care of your lawn ?
The guy is a real hero.
They are both nuclear countries. Doesnāt Mutually Assured Destruction suffice as a peace pretext.

I respectfully disagree, being a Bitcoiner myself I believe that Nostr is independent of Bitcoin.
I swear I never noticed this till it started happening to me.
Now youāre talking proper Nostrich Doc.
