coming from someone who praised those signing bombs to be dropped on ukraine/russia.
one of the great joys of travel is to discover there is no right or wrong way to do anything. just different ways.

when the (elites?) say they are saving the planet, there is a question to be asked .... for who?
we know who the regenerative farmers are working for.

anonimity in this day and age has to be questioned.
who has the real power to hide things?
could btc be a massive trojan horse? capture those fleeing the failing system?
always questions
GM 🙃
kudos to you.
you will never please everyone but at least you are trying to affect positive change.
you can't ask for more

are numbers really the need or quality?
"quality never goes out of style" levi strauss
"build it they will come"
we are building a new alternative, it will take time to understand the needs and desires of the future. free market analysis.
trying to hang on to an old world whilst you build a new one is rather like staying in the swamp until it is drained. sure it will be much better when it is dry and full of healthy vegetation. in the interim you suffer the perils of the swamp.
focus attention where you want things to grow.

this is a great question?
btc has been centralised. expensive to transact. privacy - seems non existent with chainanalysis ...... complete change from satoshi vision. why? how? who? follow the money.
yes money go up but at what cost to btc?
it's time to seek the facts people. the current btc is another selective narrative.
don't trust - verify.

thanks for the reply brett.
it was my thinking too. lately with fees rising rapidly and miners cherry picking transactions, it is a question at the back of my mind, what happens when the rest of the world gets on btc. how long and how much a transaction? privacy is great but functionality has to be considered as well.
increasing block size increases speed of processing. it also introduces other issues eg: what is is allowed to be included in block...
cost of technology is ever decreasing is a 40tb hdd really a stretch 10 years from now? that allows network to scale over 40.
thoughts?

when btc started it would appear the 10 minute wait was acceptable. if there are any that used btc in this time it would be great to know what the experience was like. pros and cons.
today's corruption of currency and the financial tools, makes 10 mins seem like a small price to pay for the freedom. the downside are the fees to do small transactions, which reduces the feasibility of using btc for minor transactions. yes there are some great l2 solutions. are we reinventing the wheel though?
if btc was unlimited transactions from the start and only installed small blocks for protection of the early network, would it be reckless to consider expanding the scope of operations to match the network scale?
the danger is ossification or stagnation. if nobody uses the network for anything other than huge payments, it is no longer the people's money. can l2s be locked out of the network? eg: can lightning be switched off/disconnected?
thank you for your response. it is all extremely helpful in understanding.
good fortunes with your ventures.

btc is being attacked on two fronts from outside and from within. satoshi's white paper spoke of nothing more than a medium of exchange. the store of value was never mentioned. it is arguable therefore the value is the medium of exchange.
crisis of confidence - small blocks, big blocks.
small blocks allow millions of nodes to run domestically. they also protect against 'dod' attack of the network. in the early days this was necessary. today with millions of users, less so.
big blocks allow for more and faster transactions. btc is scaleable. it always has been. spv made that possible, it is still possible today. the small blocks were only a precaution in the early days. so why do we still have small blocks?
small blocks make it easier for everyone to store a full node. given the full node is less than a tb, this is really not a something we should be worried about. most businesses run 40tb servers+. btc could expand the block size and still maintain 100s of thousands of nodes. so why keep blocks small? who wins?
in the short term those setting fees. in the long term, nobody. btc will fail to be of any value unless it is returned to being a medium of exchange. it is only an asset if it has value to people. if the network only handles the monster payments, what value is it to you and i?
dollar go up is completely the wrong thinking.
use btc to avoid fraud, corruption and dystopian rule. return to a free market and peace. the value in that is instant.
if you are in business or starting out price in btc. sell, buy borrow lend .... in btc and create the world you want for you and yours.
lets also open the discussion around block size again and stop the censorship from within. this way we win on both fronts. we leave fiat behind and move on with the world's best money.

welcome to the bright side.
it is moments that like this that make me smile.
if it makes life even simpler for you - it's like moving country - you now work in a different currency or in this case with REAL money.
enjoy the journey and stay safe.

great work joe and fascinating incite.
speed of progress next to speed of btc.
a reminder that everything moves at the speed of the slowest wheel. in some cases that wheel has not even been made let alone moved.
we are still soooo early.
