Yesterday I saw the movie Dumb Money about the history of GameStop and WallStreetBets.

WallStreetBets made all the mistakes you can make, what they did was not unlike pummping a shitcoin.

Bitcoin is very different from all that bullshit stocks, they may crash the price of Bitcoin but they can't stop people from still buying and selling 24 hours a day through decentralized and p2p exchanges and no one can steal or freeze your bitcoins if you have them under self-custody.

WallStreetBets may have ruined a couple of investment funds and made a small splash, but they didn't change anything.

Focus on what's important, #Bitcoin

One thing I didn't like about myself, is that I got into sterile debates mostly with monero or samourai people.

We are all in the same boat, it was stupid of me. Everyone is free to use whatever privacy tool they want as long as it does not infringe on the freedom of another.

Instead of fighting we should face the problem together, I apologize if I have offended anyone at any time.

Without privacy there is no freedom.

Merry Christmas friends!

Today I have completed one year in Nostr, I have never been a participant of social networks because I value my privacy too much, but it was worth a try in Nostr.

Nostr is not a social network, Nostr is a protocol that represents freedom of expression and for freedom of expression you have to fight in the same way you have to fight for Bitcoin.

They are all sides of the same coin, Freedom.

😂 I feel like they treat us like cockroaches.


Full text of new Economist article:

"Why bitcoin is up by almost 150% this year"

Chopping off their heads does not work: cockroaches can live without one for as long as a week. Whacking them is no guarantee either: their flexible exoskeletons can bend to accommodate as much as 900 times their body weight. Nor is flushing them down the toilet a solution: some breeds can hold their breath for more than half an hour. To most, roaches are an unwelcome pest. Their presence is made all the worse because they are indestructible.
An unwelcome pest is how many financiers and regulators would describe the crypto industry. Criminals use cryptocurrencies to launder money. Terrorists use them to make payments. Hackers demand ransoms in bitcoin. Many crypto coins are created simply so their makers can make off with the money.

The industry also appears to be indestructible. Crypto prices were crushed by higher interest rates in 2022. The industry’s head has been chopped off: Changpeng Zhao and Sam Bankman-Fried, the founders of the world’s biggest and second-biggest crypto exchanges, now both await sentencing for financial crimes (breaking anti-money-laundering laws and fraud, respectively). Regulators are cracking down. Yet not only has crypto survived, it is once again soaring: bitcoin climbed to a two-year high of almost $45,000 on December 11th, up from just $16,600 at the start of the year.

What is going on? For one thing, indestructibility is built into the technology. Bitcoin, ether and other coins are not companies—they cannot go bankrupt and be shut down. They employ blockchains, which maintain a database of transactions. Their lists are verified by a decentralised network of computers that are incentivised to keep maintaining them by the promise of new tokens. Only if the tokens fall to zero does the whole architecture collapse. And there continue to be lots of reasons to believe some crypto tokens are worth more than nothing.

The first is that holding crypto is a bet on a future in which use of the technology is widespread. People in despotic countries already use bitcoin and stablecoins (tokens pegged to a hard currency, like the dollar) to store savings and sometimes to make payments. These could be used more widely. Artists and museums are still creating or collecting non-fungible tokens (nfts). As are those looking to flog an image. Donald Trump is selling his mugshot for $99 a piece. He plans to have the suit he was booked in cut into pieces, made into cards and given to punters who buy at least 47 nfts in a single transaction.
During the boom times, the crypto industry raised a lot of money and hired plenty of smart developers. Those that remain are working on new uses, like social-media applications or play-to-earn games. Perhaps these will never be widely adopted. But even the small chance that they work out is worth something.

The second reason is that, with each boom-and-bust cycle, it becomes clearer crypto is not a bubble like tulip mania in the 1630s or the craze for Beanie Babies in the 1990s. Although bitcoin is a volatile asset, its price history looks more like a mountain range than a single peak, and appears closely correlated with tech stocks. Yet it is only moderately correlated with the broader market. An asset that swings up and down, and not in parallel with other things people might have in a portfolio, can be a useful diversifier.

That bitcoin has established itself as a serious asset seems to be the source of the latest surge. In August an American court ruled that the Securities and Exchange Commission, America’s main markets regulator, had been “arbitrary and capricious” when rejecting an effort by Grayscale, an investment firm, to convert a $17bn trust invested entirely in bitcoin into an exchange-traded fund (etf). Doing so would make investing in bitcoin easier for the average punter.
In October the court upheld its ruling—in effect ordering the sec to give way. The biggest fund managers, including BlackRock and Fidelity, have also applied to launch etfs. Given the returns bitcoin has offered in the past, and its correlations with other assets, the result could be a rush of cash into bitcoin, as even sensible investors consider putting small slices of their pension pots or portfolios into crypto for diversification.
Many feel instinctive revulsion when they spy a roach. But in spite of their flaws, the bugs have uses—they turn decaying matter into nutrients and eat other pests, such as mosquitoes. Crypto has its uses, too, such as portfolio diversification and keeping money safe under despotic regimes. And, as has been shown, it is just about impossible to kill.

"If you think today’s moment in history is special, take a gander at the above chart, which shows the Gold value of various global reserve fiat currencies over time. Fiat always trends to zero. No political system is able to resist the siren song of printed money."

"Fundamentally, if ETFs managed by TradFi asset managers are too successful, they will completely destroy Bitcoin. This prediction is based on an important subtle yet profound difference between Bitcoin and every other monetary instrument humanity has ever used.

Every other monetary asset human civilisation has ever used exists physically due to natural laws. Gold as a substance is Gold not because we say it is, but rather because of an arrangement of atoms. The interactions between these atoms are governed by universal laws. Fiat, which is some mumbo jumbo printed on a piece of paper, is still a physical sheet of matter. A piece of paper is still paper regardless of whether you believe it has monetary value. If you dug a hole and deposited gold and reams of paper and came back in 100 years, the gold and paper would still exist. Bitcoin is completely different.

Bitcoin is the first monetary asset in human history that exists only if it moves. After Bitcoin block rewards hit zero around 2140, miners will only be rewarded for validating transactions via transaction fees. That means miners will only receive Bitcoin income if the network is used. In essence, if Bitcoin moves, it has value. But if there was never another Bitcoin transaction between two entities, miners would be unable to afford the energy it costs to secure the network. As a result, they would shut off their machines. Without the miners, the network dies, and Bitcoin vanishes.

Blackrock, the world’s largest TradFi asset manager, is in the asset accumulation game. They vacuum up assets, store them in a metaphorical vault, issue a tradable security, and charge a management fee for their “hard” work. They don’t use the things they hold on behalf of their clients, which presents a problem for Bitcoin if we take an extreme view of a possible future.

Imagine a future where the largest Western and Chinese asset managers hold all the Bitcoin in circulation. This happens organically as people confuse a financial asset with a store of value. Because of their confusion and laziness, people purchase Bitcoin ETF derivatives rather than buying and hodling Bitcoin in self-custodied wallets. Now that a handful of firms hold all the Bitcoin, and have no actual use for the Bitcoin blockchain, the coins never move again. The end result is miners turn off their machines as they can no longer pay for the energy required to run them. Bye-bye, Bitcoin!

It is beautiful when you think about it. If Bitcoin becomes just another state-controlled financial asset, it dies because it isn’t used. The death of Bitcoin then creates space for another crypto monetary network to grow in its place. This network could just be a reboot of Bitcoin or something different that is an improved adaptation of the original Bitcoin. Either way, the people will once again have a non-state-controlled monetary asset and financial system. Hopefully, the second time around, we will learn not to hand our private keys to the baldies.

To that end, when thinking about surviving the ongoing fiat debasement, you must choose a side. Either you are trading a financial asset to earn more fiat, or you are trying to preserve wealth in energy terms alongside using a financial system outside of the state’s control. In the former case, trade ETFs to your heart’s content. That is why they exist. In the latter case, you must buy Bitcoin and withdraw it from the centralised exchange to your own self-custodial wallet."

In the next 100 years we will not see a self-aware AGI.

Idea of coinjoin implementation on Liquid.

Through the pegins and pegouts in the Liquid network we could follow the trace of a user, although it is true and it must be taken into account that the bitcoins that are delivered in the pegout are not linked to the bitcoins sent in the pegin. In principle, if I am not mistaken, a sort of FIFO queue is used and blockstream also performs consolidation processes of the addresses containing the bitcoins in the pegin.

This adds privacy in the Bitcoin chain, but we could still track through liquid even with confidential transactions.

As I mentioned before, with sideswap we avoid this because when you do a pegout you are really doing a swap, for small amounts they use their cache hotwallet and the actual pegout is done a posteriori thus unlinking it from the delivered coins and breaking the traceability, but desirably this would work for all amounts and not depend on a third party.

We could adapt joinstr to work on Liquid and confidential transactions, with this we would achieve that after a pegin + a coinjoin with joinstr it would be impossible to follow the trace and given the above mentioned peculiarities in which there is no relationship between the bitcoin of the pegin and the pegout + coinjoin + confidential transactions, with a single round of coinjoin would be more than enough and much more economical than current solutions.

Demand for Fed’s Bank Term Funding Facility Grows to Record High

Translated: The liquidity continues to increase so the price of Bitcoin continues to increase, the key to all this was given in August 2022 by Arthur Hayes.

They made us believe that they cut liquidity by raising rates but they invented new ways to create liquidity at the expense of the people, and as Arthur rightly said, Bitcoin is a proxy for global liquidity, Bitcoin is not fooling with what they are doing.

"When my husband died, because he was so famous for not being a believer, many people would come up to me - it still happens to me sometimes - and ask me if Carl had changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. I am also frequently asked if I believe I will see him again.

Carl faced his death with indefatigable courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we both knew we would never see each other again. I never expected to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for almost twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how short and how precious life is.

We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final goodbye. Every moment we were alive and together was miraculous, but not in the sense of being inexplicable or supernatural.

We knew that we had been beneficiaries of chance. That pure chance had been so generous and so kind. That we were able to meet, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time. That we were able to be together for twenty years. That's something that sustains me and that's much more meaningful.

The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and took care of our family, as long as he lived. That is far more important than the idea that I will ever see him again.

I don't think I'll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful."

The Problem with Socialism and Communism

Just as there is no science behind homeopathy, there is no economic science behind communism and socialism.

The economic theory of communism and socialism is not based on any mathematical logic, nor on any logic of human behavior, communism and socialism are not much different from an ancient religion, they are just beliefs.

The problem comes when you put a homeopath as the director of a hospital, or a communist/socialist in charge of the economy of a country.


"Some leftists believe that the communist world would function well if "good people" were in charge of it. They fail to realize that, by definition, good people do not want to control the lives of others."

https://telegra.ph/file/3dc0260f1866adb110915.png


A bunch of people have been shilling [Liquid](https://liquid.net/) has a scaling solution with on-chain fees on the rise. I wanted to take the time to breakdown why this is a fool's errand and there are better ways to go about this.

Liquid is based on [Elements](https://github.com/ElementsProject/elements) which as they claim in their README is `a collection of feature experiments and extensions to the Bitcoin protocol`. Liquid is just another blockchain. It is a fork of bitcoin with a few fancy things added (Tokens, CT, covenants) and bundled together with a 1 minute block time, federated custody, and some blockstream branding.

Blockchains do _not_ scale. As we are seeing today, the bitcoin blockchain does not have enough throughput for everyone's transactions. This is for good reason, keeping the cost of running a full node low is a priority, this was one of the main reasons the blocksize wars were fought.

So why does Liquid exist? People lately have been touting it as a way to ease fee pressure but in my opinion this is a fool's errand, no different than people back in 2017 saying to use litecoin because fees on bitcoin were too high. Liquid is just a fork of bitcoin, it has the exact same scaling problems and the only reason it has smaller fees is because it is never really been used. For now, it can work as a temporary stop-gap (essentially finding arbitrage for fees), but building actual infrastructure on top of liquid will run into the _exact_ same problems as on-chain bitcoin.

The problem is that Liquid is trying to use [trust as a scaling solution](https://trustisascalingsolution.com/) but did it in a completely inefficient way. When you are trusting the 11-of-15 multisig, you don't need all the benefits that a blockchain gives you, everything is dictated by the functionaries anyways. The problem is if liquid gets any meaningful amount of users it will also end up with huge fees and we'll be back to square one because Liquid's architecture didn't actually leverage any of the trust tradeoffs it took and just inherited all the same problems of on-chain bitcoin.

There are real solutions available. Lightning is the obvious alternative but it does have it's own problems, I think a lot of people have been seeing the problems with small scale self-custodial lightning, it is extremely hard to scale. This is why I am extremely excited about [fedimint](https://fedimint.org/). Fedimint has almost the exact same trust model of Liquid (a federated multisig) but is built on a much better architecture that actually allows for scaling.  Fedimints don't have a blockchain but instead operate as a chaumian ecash mint. This allows for them to do actually innovative things instead of just being bitcoin plus a couple features. There isn't a block size, instead the transaction throughput is just gated by the processing power of the guardians. Smart contracts are limited by having to do everything on-chain with bitcoin script, they are pure rust code and allows for all sorts of crazy things. And it all still interoperates with Lightning, essentially giving a Wallet of Satoshi with way less rug-pull risk, tons of new features, and is extremely private.

All this said, it is sad we aren't talking about self-custodial scaling solutions. Today the only real one is Lightning and with current fees, it isn't reasonable unless you have a few million sats. The problem is that this is just inherently a limitation with Lightning. Lightning is excellent when you have high value channels and can make payments across the network, but it does excel at "pleb nodes" where one guy puts 100k sats to try it out, this comes with too many limitations with paying on-chain fees and needing to have reserves to pay future on-chain fees. However, this is potentially solvable. Lightning has solved the problem of scaling payments, where if you have channels, one on-chain transaction can represent many actual payments. What lightning did not solve is that one utxo still represents one user, and this is the limitation we are running into today. Currently the only way we solve this is using a multisig sig (Liquid and Fedimint), but we can solve this in a self-custodial way if we activated covenants. Covenants essentially let us give fine grained control of what is going to be spent from a UTXO before the UTXO even exists. Currently, there are a few proposals (CTV, APO, TXHASH) all with varying ways to do it and different tradeoffs, but imo something like this is desperately needed if we want any chance to scale bitcoin in a self-custodial way.


Thanks for the info!


Alternative Bitcoin scaling solutions:

-covenants (covenants.info), -sidechain scaling (drivechain.info),
-Fedimint (https://fedimint.org/)
-Federated sidechains Rootstock (rootstock.io) and Liquid (liquid.net)
-rollups (Bitcoinrollups.org), -Mercury Layer (https://mercurywallet.com/), -
-Ark (https://www.arkpill.me/)
-bitVM (bitVM.org)

I am still highly optimistic on Bitcoin scaling.

😂 The FIAT system and its tricks

“This issue of cash vs in-kind create/redeem for the ETF could potentially be relevant. Seems the SEC is dug in on only allowing cash creation which would make the spot ETF less tax efficient. Investors would be taxed on a portion of their gains regardless of whether they sell or not. This is not how GLD works and would make the ETF less attractive than just holding spot BTC. Will be monitoring the outcome here closely as Blackrock pushes for in kind creation but the SEC is seemingly dug in on only allowing cash.”

Not really. Hodlers do not matter for the market price, holders are not willing to sell but others are. Whoever is not willing to sell does not set the market price.

There is a fine line between tyranny and recommendation.

I don't force anyone to use anything, nor do I recommend anyone to use anything, I simply say what I think, you may like it or not.

Use what you want, go your own way.

When you force someone you usually get the opposite.

An example is Bitcoin, most of you here have come to Bitcoin by trial and error in your lives, no one has forced you, life should be choice, not imposition.


This is the price of monero with respect to BTC, you will get the same with zcash with respect to BTC.

https://m.primal.net/HTLz.png

Monero has had several security flaws that could have compromised the privacy of its users and has hidden inflation problems(snowden himself says so and snowden himself recommends zcash against monero), these problems do not have zcash, but I do not like zcash, I like its technology that can be implemented in Bitcoin.

But I'm not trying to convince anyone, everyone is free to use what he wants, if you want to use monero use monero.


The European Union is more than dead 😂

Curious fact is that Windows users can't access copilot because of the regulation, for one good thing that Microsoft brings out...


There are many ways to get privacy in Bitcoin, if the fees are low coinjoin, if not low through Lightning and Liquid with swaps or peg-in and peg-out of Liquid. I don't use monero because it lacks monetary value and I risk losing money.

To each his own. Besides monero is a joke, if you want a private currency use zcash.

I hope zk-SNARKs can be applied to bitocoin someday through a layer 2 for example with Rollups.


I use things if they are useful, save money and are safe. Liquid is very useful and safe despite the ideological claims of others.

The Main Sources of AI Risk?
by Daniel Kokotajlo, Wei Dai

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/WXvt8bxYnwBYpy9oT/the-main-sources-of-ai-risk


They tell you that inflation is slowing down but you must understand what it means. Prices will never return to their previous state unless the production process improves and makes the cost of production cheaper.

The only way you have to counteract inflation is for your salary to grow in line with it or your profits to grow in line with it.

If you look at salaries, they never grow according to real inflation, they always rise according to the CPI which is clearly manipulated downwards. This is the great swindle of the system.

The mercantilism of the XXI century based on FIAT money is a vertical extractive system from bottom to top.

That is what it is all about, if salaries and goods were fixed in hard money, they would not be able to carry out this swindle, there would be no inflation as such and no CPI. Your purchasing power would not decrease every year, even if they didn't raise your salary, goods would go down in price because of the improvement in the production processes. But why don't they do this? Because then governments cannot finance themselves for free at the expense of your wealth.

#Bitcoin


Metcalfe's law is not associated with a specific currency; rather, it describes the relationship between the value of a network and the number of users participating in it. "Value" can be interpreted in different ways depending on the context: it can be economic value, utility, influence, etc.


Indeed, the number of active addresses does not represent the number of users on the network. It is very difficult if not impossible to know the number of Bitcoin users, the only metric I personally use is the total number of active addresses in the last day, which I interpret as active users using the network.


A curious fact

"According to Metcalfe's Law, the value of a network is related to the square of the number of connected users. Considering an estimated one million active users per day on the Bitcoin network, the application of this principle suggests a theoretical network value of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Taking into account the total amount of Bitcoin that could exist, which is 21 million, we could estimate the theoretical value of each Bitcoin by dividing this value by the total amount. However, given that there are currently approximately 19.5 million Bitcoin in circulation, adjusting this calculation, the theoretical value of each Bitcoin, under this approximation, could be around $51,282.05.

You don't even have reading comprehension, nor do you understand what I'm saying. I hope Samourai pays you well.


HODL explanation

"Gresham's Law, attributed to the English financier Sir Thomas Gresham, expresses the idea that in a system where two types of currencies with equal face value but different intrinsic values circulate, the lower value currency will tend to drive the higher value currency out of circulation.

This law is based on the human behavior of using the lower value currency in everyday transactions and keeping the higher value currency. As a result, the lower value currency remains in circulation while the higher value currency tends to be withdrawn or used in transactions involving higher value.

A classic example would be the use of coins or bills of different precious metals, where the coin with less valuable metal content (the "bad" one) would be used for common payments, while that with higher content (the "good" one) would be reserved or valued more because of its precious metal content."

#Bitcoin


In the last few days Liquid is having 350 transactions per hour, obviously not the transaction volume of Bitcoin, but those who said that Liquid was not used will have to eat their words and maybe use it, for the simple fact that there is nothing else.

From any Whirpool Tx0 you can get the unmixed changes from users and trace them, it doesn't matter if these changes are in the initial Tx0 or not, the blockchain is there. It is a marketing deception and lack of understanding of how a coinjoin works by its users.

It is also a marketing deception to pay fees to the coordinator to avoid a Sybil attack, it is simply more expensive for the common mortals but not for any spy agency. Moreover, in Whirpool's case, the attacker will only have to pay once for each group of trackers introduced into the system indefinitely.

It also adds that some of its users are de-anonymized because they give up their xpub and even their ip if they do not enable tor.

I am very impressed by the lack of compression of their ninja users, obviously the mixed coins are mixed as in the other coinjoin implementations, neither more nor less, with its advantages and disadvantages. For example in joinmarket if you understand and use correctly the Mixdepths you forget the toxic change as this will end up being mixed and therefore at some point will be lost track, just use coins from the last Mixdepths, and when you pay use the collaborative sending, with which the remaining change of your mixed coins will also be difficult to track as it will be along with the change of the other participants, with these two tips you have all the premix and postmix tools you need but without toxic marketing.

The OP_RETURN discussion is not new and dates back to 2014 when Bitcoin Core 0.9.0 was released with the OP_RETURN policy included which was intended to discourage more egregious forms of spam. At that time, 40 bytes was the default max datacarriersize limit across all node implementations; this was and still is sufficiently large for tying data to a transaction (32 bytes for a hash and 8 bytes for a unique identifier). Core subsequently increasing the default to 80 bytes was an entirely voluntary decision and in no way contradicts the design objective that OP_RETURN creates a provably-prunable output to minimise damage caused by data storage schemes, which have always been discouraged as abusive. There are also other good technical reasons which I have chosen to retain the lower default in Bitcoin Knots, and no justification for increasing it.

It is not my intention, nor that of my team at
nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze, to filter coinjoins. These present an innovative tool for increasing Bitcoin’s privacy and, when constructed properly, coinjoins can easily stay within the OP_RETURN limit (indeed, there is no reason for them to have *any* OP_RETURN data at all). I have some ideas on how to alleviate the recent issue where some coinjoin transactions were flagged as spam from Knots v25, and I am willing, with the full resources of my team, to work collaboratively on a solution in good faith.

Bitcoin does and always has allowed nodes to set filters based on multiple sets of criteria and Knots v25’s defaults are IMO what is best for Bitcoin at this time. Others may disagree and that is ok. They are free to (and should) run their own nodes - it is good for Bitcoin to have more people running nodes, including miners, and there should be a natural diversity in node policies. As was stated before, OCEAN is on a path to decentralization and very soon we are going to be in a position where hashers will be able to fully participate as miners and perform the intelligent parts of mining such as deciding which version of node software to run and what filters or other policies to apply to block template construction.


True 😂


I did not mean that maximalists will support this ETF, but that maximalists will suffer the consequences of this ETF.


GM: All mining pools "censor" transactions, they all construct blocks based on their preference. (Fees, OFACT, asicboost, etc). Many even take out of channel payments. Many/most? Large miners and pools use custom nodes too!

Ocean was just being more transparent about their preferences. In all honesty, didn't even think of 42 bytes issue. Knots was forked from core at 40. Not everything is about the ninjas.

Until we have stratum v2, hashers have no real choice.

Thoughts on FIAT

The quality of products is getting lower and lower, or we can't even access products that were once affordable. For example all our grandparents and parents had solid wood furniture, now it is unaffordable to buy this furniture that lasts a lifetime. The same happens with clothes, or worse, with food, healthy food is becoming unaffordable.

People confuse wealth with technology, it is evident that we have more technology than them, but we are not richer, we have much less purchasing power thanks to the extractive system in vertical that supposes the FIAT money.

I'm sorry I'm in the wrong conversation.

Indeed bitcoin is pseudonymous not anonymous, and becomes anonymous only temporarily through methods such as coinjoin and I say temporarily because if you are not pendiende to mix and match you break the anonymity, it is not viable.

Although I hope that this will be reversed with solutions like ARK.


Not at all, quite the contrary. Taproot for example was enabled quickly thanks to the pressure of developers paid by mining pools or who belonged to mining pools, now with perspective things are clearer, maybe OP_PUSH in OP_IF blocks was not so casual.


Knots has always been my reference as an alternative...there's not much to choose from, really.


The Bitcoin consensus is not Bitcoin Core, the Bitcoin consensus is the various implementations of the Bitcoin protocol that have their own development plan.

Unfortunately the consensus is very weak as everyone installs and abides by the latest version of Bitcoin Core.

https://m.primal.net/HSsk.png

https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information/full-node.html


42 is 40 + 2 opcodes (which are counted in the current versions)

If you think Core gets to just dictate things, get over your centralization mindset.

Knots has used 40/42 since 2013. Samourai are the ones who chose to exceed it.


Someone's lying to you

Core changed theirs to 80, but 40 is what the standard was.

If they don't want to comply, that's fine, but blaming me for their decision not to is dishonest.

Stubbornness is only a matter of time, liquid and lightning are there to be used.


Add that I see monero more as a privacy utility than as money, when atomic swaps between Bitcoin and Monero are implemented if the fees are acceptable it is possible that I will use it, although it will always depend on whether the receiver wants monero.


Use it, I have no problem, everyone is free.

I do not use it because it seems to me a bad store of value and bitcoin as my methods also gives me privacy, on the other hand monero is not accepted anywhere, Lightning in thousands of stores.

Questions you should ask yourself.

How do coinjon like whirpool feel about these rates? 0.1 btc with ten entries in the 5m sats pool costs you just over 450k sats, something like 4.53%.

Why do you keep denying the need for layer 2 solutions?

Why are you so stubborn that you keep ignoring the privacy bonuses for the sender in Ligthning?

Why do you refuse to use Liquid?

Why do you deny the privacy obtained in Liquid by performing simple peg-in and peg-out (and especially if you use sideswap) which are much cheaper than a coinjoin?

These are questions you should ask yourself.

In the world survives the one who adapts.

That is correct. However in robosats they offer liquid swaps, see what you get cheaper.


No-kyc there are few, hodlhodl, robosats or bisq, I would recommend bisq but there are not many offers, the others I don't know.

While we are here discussing about centralized coinjoin services, Joinstr is being overlooked, no more paying stupid fees, everyone pays the proportional part of the chain fee that the transaction costs, without any profit motive, coinjoins for everyone, without a central coordinator.

If it also allows collaborative sending as in joinmarket, it will be perfection.

If this is not keeping you awake at night, you are just a fan of your centralized coinjoin provider.
 nostr:npub1v6qjdzkwgaydgxjvlnq7vsqxlwf4h0p4j7pt8ktprajd28r82tvs54nzyr


And you say unrelated things. Zero link is important for a centralized coordinator not for a decentralized one and you still have to trust that they use the software that the centralized service provider tells you, and that in joinmarket more than one mix is necessary is also known, you are not discovering the gunpowder.


The funny thing is that your whole premise starts from the idea that samourai uses the code he displays on GitHub on his servers....


Unfortunately I admit that Joinmarket is complicated for newbies and that to get a perfect privacy you have to move in taker (Coordinator) and maker, but all this complexity will be solved with Joinstr.


Why do you want it to be zerolink if you are the coordinator? 😂


You can't even argue against anything I've laid out, puppy, I'm not going to waste any more time on you.

Good luck with your centralized service of which the identity of all its workers is known and they contribute for the state.

How much does samourai pay you? 😂


That it is all pure marketing, a company that is governed by the laws of the fiat world cannot preserve privacy.

To believe otherwise is naive, joinmarket is decentralized.

Samourai only wants your fees.


You have to be retarded to show these Joinmorket sudokus and show them as a defect.

The change addresses are known to whom they belong and what? in whirpool you can't find out who owns the change address in the initial mix?

Can you find out who owns the outputs with the same amount?

Don't you know how joinmarket works?

A lot of blablabla and the guy that sells this crap can't even de-anonymize my pegouts in liquid.

Yes, he sells Scamourai's shitty courses 😂.

https://m.primal.net/HSie.png


Do any of the self-improvement gurus have kids?


You have several options, if you have BTC you can make the pegin yourself to get the same amount in Liquid or you can use for example boltz to transform LN-BTC (lightning) into L-BTC (Liquid). You can also buy Liquid in Bisq.


Good morning!

https://m.primal.net/HShs.png


Good morning!

You can scream, you can cry and you can kick but right now it is what it is and Liquid is very useful in a high rate environment.

https://telegra.ph/file/e21c7a64f08b8e0b25b83.png


Are you prepared for a high chain fee environment?

Liquid has been undervalued for a long time, here are the advantages:
- You forget about incoming liquidity problems.
- Confidential transactions
- Used in the same way as bitcoin, you forget about being "online".
- No known security flaws.
- Possibility of cold storage.

As disadvantages:
- It is federated, even so it is much more secure than an exchange or a lightning custody wallet, and if you use cold storage it is more secure than a hot wallet.
- In terms of scalability it is not a panacea either, it is just that now few people use it and that is why it is viable.

Some blockstream people advocate moving the ordinals to Liquid but if we do that then it will be Liquid who will suffer a high fee environment...and it will be Liquid functionaries who will earn that money in fees.

https://m.primal.net/HQbj.png

In short, it pays to know how to use and move in Liquid as well as Lightning to successfully deal with a high fee environment, but neither is a panacea.

Liquid is simpler to use than Lightning and has fewer bugs, has good privacy for both the receiver and the sender from an outside observer, on the other hand Liquid is federated and is not as scalable as Lightning.

And one of the points why I think Ligthning has had more adoption, is that with lightning you work directly with Bitcoin, it's not a sidechain, with Liquid you work with a token until you do the pegout, it's a sidechain.

That said, you need to use both, right now we don't have anything else.

Saylor doesn't buy Bitcoin for Microstrategy because he loves Bitcoin, Saylor buys Bitcoin for Microstrategy because Microstrategy shares have become an alternative vehicle to get exposure to Bitcoin in the absence of an ETF and he keeps buying because his model has certain advantages over an ETF such as no management fees.

Saylor simply uses Bitcoin for his own benefit, if one day his model is no longer profitable, he will sell it.

Forget about communism, democracy, libertarianism, right, left and other bullshit.

"Watch what I do and not what I say."

Look at the percentage of revenue over gdp of different countries.

USA ranks 46th (26.6%) with a liberal economy, china ranks 64th (21%) being communist.

This already tells you that the Chinese economy is more liberal than people think.

But this is not the case I want to make. I want you to look at the failed states of Europe, like France (45.5%), Italy (43.3%) or Spain (38.4%). This is communism gentlemen.

Communism is that the state manages your money is nothing else, no matter how they disguise it as democracy, the data does not lie.

The reason both mercury and aluminum were added into vaccines was specifically because they didn’t work without them.

When these were added (which was originally a mistake because it was a cleaning agent that they failed to remove from a horse antibody vaccine), it would create a HUGE immune response. Something like 100x or more immune reaction in the body. And it would treat everything with it as an intruder, and learned to fight it all off. This is why such a small, weakened amount of some virus can be added, but your body will build antibodies for it.

The crazy thing is, they were so happy with the success, that they just ignored any possible damage that these additions would cause. They excused it away, defended it with bad science, used studies of *ingested* aluminum to defend it being directly injected to the bloodstream (hilariously not the same thing), and have done everything they can to cover it up, while also ensuring that they aren’t liable for **any** of the horrible consequences of aggressive over vaccination.

The simple, and common sense question should be, WHY does the body have such a vicious immune reaction to these metals? The simple answer: they are horrible for the human body. They cause neurological damage and are carried through the lymph nodes all over the body. And the immune response is so aggressive that it causes the body to overreact to other, innocuous things. It’s not a coincidence that the very concept of food allergies were literally nonexistent, until mess vaccination became a thing. Vaccines work against their claimed disease, but they have a long, horrible list of chronic, neurological, and immune diseases that should be obvious if we weren’t so blind with “normality.”

Normal and accepted means neither safe, nor truthful. The very creation of vaccines and what made them work suggest the very side effects that are now rather thoroughly proven. I mean shit mother’s with autistic children have literally been paid damages in court in multiple cases. It’s only that people are too afraid of looking like a fool (understandably), because they know others will react poorly, or they are too afraid to let themselves believe something so widespread could be so wrong.

Time will reveal the truth, it’s just sad how many, and specifically how many children, will pay and have already paid for such a horrible lie to be uncovered.


I love the pricing models, I can't help it. Here are the three models that are still valid and have not been imbalanced.

First the LGC model by Dave the Wave, although the author failed on the late 2018 3000 bottom and there created his model, since then it has not been invalidated predicting bottoms and tops very well.

https://m.primal.net/HQga.jpg

Second the Power Law Corridor model of HCBurguer, which comes to say the same as the LGC model of dave the wave but better formulated mathematically, this model was created in early 2019 and from my point of view is the most accurate.

https://m.primal.net/HQgb.png

Finally the BARM model (Bitcoin Autocorrelated Exchange Rate Model) by @chipernom (The author keeps changing his name on social networks, it is difficult for me to follow him). From a statistical point of view it is the best model, from a price point of view, it is very crazy.

https://m.primal.net/HQgc.jpg

I leave you also the two articles corresponding to the LGC model and Power Law Corridor, unfortunately the author of BARM has deleted all his articles and they are not even in internet archive.

“Ecash is the fastest way to send money on the internet” - Robin Linus, creator of BitVM and BitStream.

He’s right. With Pay-to-Pubkey in Cashu, we can even get to payment speeds almost as fast as data packages traveling through the network. The receiver Carol creates a public key and shares it with the sender Alice. Before sending money, the Alice prepares her ecash with one round-trip to the mint to lock it to the pub key of the receiver Carol. The sender Alice now has ecash that can only be spent by Carol (or by herself after a time lock).

That way, we can send ecash from Alice to Carol over the network without the Carol having to make another round trip with the mint to know whether the ecash she received was already spent. If it is locked to her pub key (which she can immediately check) and if the mint has provided a valid signature (which she can check as well), the transaction is final.

 Ultrafast payments like these should take a couple of milliseconds if the network is fast enough.


There are statistically valid models and statistically invalid models.

S2F was never statistically valid.

Of the three I have shown, the only one statistically supported is BARM.

I don't believe in models, but models can be useful and I like them. I believe more in my common sense which is usually always pessimistic 😂.

Well, in the end, these are things that we are not going to be able to control. If bitcoin continues to increase in adoption sooner rather than later we will have this blockchain activity whether by ordinals or something else.

There is little we can do, this is the grace of free market block space in bitcoin.

What we need to look for are good scaling solutions.


Fees are currently exceeding the following block subsidy.

https://m.primal.net/HQbk.png


Are you prepared for a high chain fee environment?

Liquid has been undervalued for a long time, here are the advantages:
- You forget about incoming liquidity problems.
- Confidential transactions
- Used in the same way as bitcoin, you forget about being "online".
- No known security flaws.
- Possibility of cold storage.

As disadvantages:
- It is federated, even so it is much more secure than an exchange or a lightning custody wallet, and if you use cold storage it is more secure than a hot wallet.
- In terms of scalability it is not a panacea either, it is just that now few people use it and that is why it is viable.

Some blockstream people advocate moving the ordinals to Liquid but if we do that then it will be Liquid who will suffer a high fee environment...and it will be Liquid functionaries who will earn that money in fees.

https://m.primal.net/HQbj.png

In short, it pays to know how to use and move in Liquid as well as Lightning to successfully deal with a high fee environment, but neither is a panacea.

Liquid is simpler to use than Lightning and has fewer bugs, has good privacy for both the receiver and the sender from an outside observer, on the other hand Liquid is federated and is not as scalable as Lightning.

And one of the points why I think Ligthning has had more adoption, is that with lightning you work directly with Bitcoin, it's not a sidechain, with Liquid you work with a token until you do the pegout, it's a sidechain.

That said, you need to use both, right now we don't have anything else.

What is Payjoin V2, why do we need it now, and how does it make payjoin so much easier to support?

https://m.primal.net/HQMn.png

Basic #bitcoin transactions are non-interactive. An address is all a sender needs to send bitcoin.

The trade off is that only the sender can contribute inputs that the receiver must consolidate later, and third parties assume all transaction inputs come from just one sender.

https://m.primal.net/HQMj.png

Payjoin peers instead interact before they broadcast a transaction. That way they both can spend inputs in a batch. Batch transactions share fixed fees and save money. They break probability analysis used to track bitcoin.

However, V1 receivers must host a server online.

https://m.primal.net/HQMk.png

Payjoin V2 peers may go on and offline and still make a payjoin. V2 lets even web wallets receive payjoin any time to optimize for fees and default to better privacy.

An oblivious third-party directory hosts a server instead. The directory can't steal or even see peer IP addresses.

https://m.primal.net/HQMo.png

Oblivious HTTP keeps IP addresses private. It works like Tor with just 2 hops on a pre-defined route.

The OHTTP Relay just sees encapsulated requests.

The Payjoin Directory sees requests without Client IPs.

The Directory can't see request PSBT contents. They're encrypted too.

https://m.primal.net/HQMr.png

Payjoin V2 keeps message contents private between sender and receiver without involving a certificate authority. The Payjoin Directory cannot see transaction details.

Hybrid Public Key Encryption makes end-to-end authenticated encryption with tools already native to Bitcoin.

https://m.primal.net/HQMq.png

Payjoin only works when we choose to support it. Join me by paying this knowledge forward.

This is not so easy. In such a case the receiver will be able to know the amount of bitcoins remaining in the resulting utxo that belong to you, just to say something.

In the current banking system does the receiver know part of the money you have left?

It is not right for someone with your experience to say these things, without privacy there is no freedom.

It is a very complex issue, but the key points are:

- educational indoctrination by the state
- disintegration of the concept of family

Nick Szabo has talked a lot about these issues and has very interesting views.

Bottom line, they have created apathetic citizens with nothing to fight for.


Do you understand why more and more injustice is being done by states to their citizens, taxes are higher than ever and citizens do nothing about it?

Because you have given all your data to the big tech companies, sold your life to Facebook, Instagram and other shit, and now your behavior is predictable.

The states know more than ever how far to squeeze and they will do it continuously and inexorably until you won't have any rights or wealth left.

This is very important.

This is simply and plainly what I have learned over more than 20 years dedicated to investments.

Save and invest only in unfalsifiable assets, nothing else.

That said, I was a goldboy, but gold is a bad investment. In most countries it has a very high premium to buy and a very high premium to sell, a buy and sell transaction can easily take 20%, which leads you to buy paper gold that does not have these premiums but you no longer have the gold in your hands, you don't even have gold, and even if you have physical gold it is very difficult to prove its purity and authenticity, which leads you to Bitcoin.

All roads lead to Bitcoin.

I also don't like that brave is backed by a token.

España, ese “Gran Estado”.

Hoy la gente se manifiesta en contra de la amnistía de un personaje, Puigdemont, que quiere su propio estado para robar a sus ciudadanos. Esta misma gente que se manifiesta, defiende a su vez la supremacía del Estado español para robar a sus ciudadanos, dicen defender el estado de derecho, que no es más que el derecho del estado a robar la riqueza del pueblo.

Son las dos caras de la misma moneda, los nacionalistas españoles defienden el robo del estado español, los nacionalistas catalanes y vascos, defienden ser robados por su propio estado.

España es un estado de estados, un experimento totalmente fallido, si sobre mierda (Estado español) añades más mierda (Autonomías) tienes una mierda descomunal de dimensiones bíblicas y muy cara de mantener.

Influencers de moda en el bando de la derecha como Alvise o el señor de Desokupa, ordenan tomar las calles, pero pobres indigentes intelectuales, ¿De qué sirven las manifestaciones?

Si fueran rebeldes de verdad, sabrían que hace falta muy poco para provocar un corralito bancario, los bancos españoles apenas tienen un 1% de los fondos de sus clientes, pero esto no interesa, porque aquí solo interesa repartirse el pastel entre izquierda o derecha, y que el tonto del pueblo pague la fiesta.

Para construir hay que destruir, y cuanto antes destruyamos este sistema de mierda, antes podremos empezar a construir un mundo más justo.

Let's see Samourai fans, I think you are missing the point because you are like a cult and have been blinded by Samourai's aggressive marketing.

The first thing is that Samourai is a company, the data of the companies are public, I am not doing any doxxing by showing the public registration data of your company in UK.

Do you understand now that the mask is all marketing? How is Samourai going to protect you if the government knows who are the owners of the company and its workers?

Why wasabi must comply with the law and samourai doesn't? what makes them different? do you think the uk and canadian government will allow illicit activities of a legal company?

I understand that you feel offended, it usually happens when someone shows you the truth.

It is stupid to use Samourai, using Samourai means trusting a third party, you will never know the code they run on their servers, the best thing you can do is to fork their code and create a community coordinator where several people can certify that the code is running, even so, you will have to trust the reputation of those people.

You have solutions in which you are the coordinator (solving the trust problem mentioned above) and are decentralized such as joinmarket and joinstr (still under development).

Answer these questions:

Coinjoin facilitates illicit activities?
Is a government going to allow a company to profit from the coinjoin business by enabling illicit activities?
If the government allows this company, on what conditions is it allowed to operate?

Again, all this has happened to Wasabi, why not to Samourai? The difference is that Wasabi made it public, question of ethics.

nostr:note1gx50zeevmdvarlnujyy9xamaewpn2vv3nh0yck3lwunxvucg097q5tp72m


It doesn't matter if it's open source, you'll never know the code they run on their servers.

They are a company, why won't they comply with the law and wasabi will?

What makes them different?

Joinmarket and joinstr are the only viable solutions because you are the coordinator.


Unfortunately most of you have no technical knowledge.

There are much better solutions like joinmarket or joinstr where you run the coordinator's code and they are decentralized. It is ridiculous to support these centralized solutions and they are just a business and they also have to comply with the law because they are companies.

Keep fooling yourself.


You don't know what code they run on their servers, the only way to mitigate this is to run your own coordinator, joinmarket or joinstr are the right solutions.


No, because I advocate the use of software where you are the coordinator and you know what code you run such as joinmarket or joinstr.


And showing a company's public information is doxxing? What a fool you are.

Company data is public, do you understand that putting on a mask is just a game and marketing?😂

Do you know why you feel offended? Because deep down you know I'm right.

Can you prove what code they run on their servers? Can you prove that they don't collaborate with governments? Of course you can't prove it, you're just a fool who gives them money.


Good morning!

You still don't understand anything


Sparrow is a good wallet, it allows payjoin for example, but compared to whirpool you have more reliable alternatives that do not depend on a third party like Joinmarket and soon Joinstr.

On the other hand Lightning has very good privacy for the sender, almost perfect.

And you also have the option of Liquid with sideswap, much cheaper and faster than coinjoin.

I made a small tutorial about this.


Samourai wallet, how are these reports to CSIS and CSE going?

I remind all you gullible people, that the company behind Samourai (Katana Cryptographic) and its main investor, is "Cypherpunk Holdings".

Cypherpunk Holdings is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the ticker HODL, and on the OTC market under the ticker: CYFRF.

And here you have the details of Katana Cryptographic registered in the UK, and the name of its founders who go around playing anonymous with their little masks:

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11394733/officers

Do you also think that the UK security agencies, MI5 and MI6 will allow these activities? Why Wasabi has not been allowed and Samourai has? Think a little bit, you are simply being fooled.

If you think these morons are going to give you privacy, textbook Honeypot, ask yourself if on their servers they run the code they claim to run. And I remind you that these assholes continue to collect the xpub of their mobile users, because they have never fixed this? Other wallets on mobile devices have solved it with block filters(Neutrino),Blixt or Breez for example, but Samourai developers will always lie to you and tell you that this is not optimal for a wallet on a smartphone.

And their Tor architecture sucks, the connection is constantly reused and does not create new circuits.

Privacy can neither be a business nor can it depend on the trust of a third party, just like cryptography.


Good morning!

Oil is not dinosaur juice 😂

Oil is of inorganic origin, if you don't believe me, ask titan who is full of hydrocarbons.


After watching Elon Musk's interview with Joe Rogan, I can affirm that Elon Musk is one of the most ignorant people about bitcoin in the world.

Elon may be the richest man in the world, but IT is certainly not his thing, he already proved it when he was kicked out of paypal for wanting to switch servers to Windows server.

CME is about to surpass Binance (assuming Binance's data is true, which I doubt) in OI.

Over the years CME's OI has been ridiculous compared to that of the other derivatives exchanges and now they are on their way to the top.

The institutions are here.

It's bad for your Bitcoin, many of you will end up selling.

Cypherpunks:

- Nostr (Decentralized, uncensorable)

The first is a clown, the second ones came to change the world.

Here is an example of what can happen to you if you follow a trader.

Jaime de trading latino is very well liked in the hispanic community but he is always missing the ups and downs out of a range, you see?

On October 20th this was his scenario:

And this is what happened:

https://m.primal.net/HOqB.jpg

After his screw up, he disappears for a few days, only to come back with his charlatanism and make his followers forget about the mistake.

https://m.primal.net/HOpz.png

Remember children, bitcoin is not traded, bitcoin is hodled, all bitcoin rises occur in just 7-9 days of the year, if you trade you will surely be left out.

If someone has a trading method that works, they are not going to show it publicly, otherwise it would stop working, let alone waste their time on youtube.


Yes 🎯

If you want to know why a country like Argentina is going to elect as president the current minister of economy with an inflation rate of 150% and no gasoline to refuel in the whole country, you have to watch this documentary.

Summary for lazy people, if you pay the citizens for not working, you end up having a lot of slaves that will vote for you if or if and whatever you do, for these citizens is free money, what they do not understand is the consequences of this.

Any European should watch this video to understand that Argentina is our mirror and that is where Europe is going.

Venezuela < Argentina < Spain < Europe in general

Nostr has no moderation or censorship and I don't see us killing children, terrorist attacks, or Satanist rituals.

Strange, the state had told me that freedom of speech was very bad.

The education system is merely a statist indoctrination system.

If you studied economics in the West you probably studied Paul Samuelson’s “Economics”. Samuelson, a socialist sympathiser, kept pushing the idea that the Soviet Union would overtake the US economy through multiple iterations of his textbook which proclaimed

“The Soviet economy is proof that, contrary to what many skeptics had earlier believed, a socialist command economy can function and even thrive.”

Samuelson simply pushed back the date in subsequent editions and never addressed his incorrect predictions, removing this nonsense 30+ years after it first appeared in his textbook without comment.

When you’re learning literal falsehoods that serve the statist ideology, how are you not being indoctrinated?

What else were you taught that upon reflection was mere indoctrination? https://i.nostr.build/887z.jpg https://i.nostr.build/lqj7.png


Cantillon Overdrive... And The Bitcoin Breakout

https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/cantillon-overdrive-and-bitcoin-breakout


If we decapitalize fiat currency sufficiently, its paper won't be worth a damn, they will come knocking at the door to give them Bitocoin, as it has always happened in the ancient wars with gold. And there it will be your decision, not the government's.

To think that fiat money is an experiment, except for China, which has had fiat money throughout its history on several occasions, for the rest of the world it has not been like that. Money has always been chosen by the market and is difficult to counterfeit.


London demonstration against the war against palestine

https://m.primal.net/HOnh.mp4

Demonstrations serve no purpose, don't be hypocrites, demonstrations serve to go back to the sofa and feel smug, or how good I am that I have gone to a demonstration against x thing.

Have balls and gamble your money, bet against the state, bet against fiat, bet against the war, decapitalize the system using Bitcoin.

But demonstrating is more comfortable, isn't it?

There are no tough guys left, except bitcoiners.
