Lurking, posting occasionally, and zapping anonymously. Observing always. Pulmonaut nostr-java is my hobby project.

Without trust there's no society. I trust Bitcoin to produce a block ~every ten minutes, I trust my pilot to know how to operate the plane, my doctor...

The point I'm trying to make is, you need to trust based on competence or verifiable track record, not just trust trust because they're people.

The experts were wrong.

Again.

It's extremely difficult to focus on the things that matter when reading such nonsense.

Truly demoralising!

I am now even more wary about cash redemption, when considering the scenario of a hard-fork, especially if the other chain receives the government's preference, for example, because more "green" etc.

"The Allegory [of the Cave] is timeless and open to never-ending interpretation, but one thing it takes aim at is a key observation which society increasingly loses sight of: that depictions of truth, renderings of them โ€“ even โ€œreasonable facsimiles thereofโ€, are notย reality. The map is not the territory. The thing that depicts, and the thing depicted, is not the thing itself."

People criticising capitalism etc, always conveniently forget to mention the obvious: it's voluntary, lol.

No, it's not free, but fair enough on the opportunity cost. But honestly, make yourself an omelette, eat it with bread, instead of ordering a domino pizza.

(You're not paying for labour, delivery etc.)
