Fear helped humanity to survive until today. Fear helps you to live your life 🤓

One breath of cigarette smoke could give you lungcancer! It’s not probable but possible. Each round of any game makes it more probable to win one of those lotteries! You also can smoke chain and get 111 years old, also not very probable but possible. The most people life in the middle of the normal distribution!

There ain’t a healthy amount of alcohol at all! None of it is the healthiest!

it’s very difficult to acknowledge alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine as poisons

I refuse to pray to any flag or say the pledge, but the left being the good puppets that they are have managed to completely confuse the issue.

Kneeling (especially since they are the type who do everything the govt says) seems like the most boot licking response possible. It weirdly still physically communicates deference while getting rightwing morons all riled up over "disrespect." And the fact that they would attack someone for refusing to kneel sounds like something straight out of some sort of cult, or authoritarian monarchy.

So we are in this retarded situation where the right is damning people for not being patriotic enough & the left is essentially damning anyone who doesn't bow to their God. While the right claims to hate the govt which the flag actually represents (...nuh uh it's the people 🙄), & the left claims to be protesting the "racism" of the country that became prosperous by ending slavery, or some other idiotic thing like that.

The combination of Egypt and sound money could be so great.

Amethyst is pretty good.

The note issuer holds nearly equivalent value in a BTC address. I say nearly because they need to take a very very small percentage for the service.

I like this idea, and hadn't thought of it. What would happen to the physical note though when the amount finally is settled on-chain? At some point this needs to happen, and the note no longer has value, or am I missing something?

I’d ask what atomic swaps are but it’s Sunday and Sundays are for pondering the universe.

It could be bad if we all enthusiastically adopted it, only to have all electronics destroyed by a solar flare.

One thing I worry about is if Bitcoin completely takes over as a store of value it would work rather too well to transfer wealth across generations, to the point where it starts to lead to very long lived dynasties.

Let's assume hyperbitcoinization already happened - I can just hodl, and get a safe, boring 3% real return by my Bitcoin appreciating. As long as you can live on less than 3% of your net worth a year, you are now financially independent. Not only that, but so are your children, and their grandchildren.

In the current systems fortunes have to be invested to keep their purchasing power, so you face *some* risk of loss. But if you hodl, as long as you use a good vault for the storage, there's very little reason any value will be lost to the family stack almost at all.

Not only that, but a relatively small amount of people mostly in the western world have cornered 70% of the supply of Bitcoin. What about if we're correct and this hodler controlled supply is the future capital stock of humanity? Now you have less than 1m people globally who control 70% of the liquid wealth of the world, that's horribly in-egalitarian.

Now maybe we as early adopters of Bitcoin deserve to get filthy rich for launching a new monetary system. But what about your heirs 3 generations down, should they control 70% of all liquid capital in the world?

Fast forward a few generations and you could have a new neoreactionary "noded nobility" class, hoarding most of the wealth, unironically telling the rest of society to have fun staying poor.
