Proper size is zero.


Unless you change human DNA, you won't change the differences in talents and capabilities between people.


People don't have equal skills and talents. Only way to make them equitable is by force. Equity is violence.


You could, if this war wasn't in self defense.


I always knew that Bernie was a dumb socialist. But he's apparently an antisemite too!


Equity is socialist nonsense, not a universal value. Equity also contradicts liberty.


Bella the SB gal says exactly the opposite.


Is he the one who pumped it to 73k? 🙂


Collecting protection money.


Could be just chemical imbalance in your brain.


I wish you were right with anarchy. Then SJWs couldn't enforce their ideology via laws, regulations, public schools and academia any more. Society would go back to normalcy.


Most of these "social constructs" are actually social evolution and have evolved because they are useful in certain way.


No, exactly the opposite way: By labeling different opinions as "hate speech" and using threats, bans and censorship instead of calm logical discussion.


This is not true for the Austrian school of economics.


That is the last price. It's not value - some people will buy even higher (value BTC even higher) while others will not buy at all (value BTC at zero).


Economics teaches us that value is *subjective*. It makes no sense to ask about objective value of Bitcoin or anything else. It's a mistake that comes either from Marxism or the disproven labor theory of value.


Not really. In case of anarchism, socialists popularized it first. The term ancap is a sad case, too. (But your right with liberalism.)

Also, what is the point of sticking to a word, that is already so tainted and devalued? For me, the term voluntaryism describes my beliefs much better than anarchism.


Also, I still don't understand, why voluntaryists/ancaps associate themselves with anarchism. Main stream in anarchism is very much socialist and collectivist.


Bullshit! There is also utilitarian branch of #ancap. Check out David D. Friedman and his book The Machinery of Freedom.

"Advocating freedom" for SJWs usually means shouting at people who use a word that you don't like.


Dude, where do you get these things? All the leftist gender ideologues are against the idea of hardwired psychological traits (a.k.a. biological essentialism). You can't have both.

All primates have heterosexuality and male/female dichotomy as a standard. Deal with it!

You are free to live your life as you wish, but don't force your beliefs on others, if they prefer different values or lifestyle.


So called heteronormativity and cisnormativity are deeply hardwired in our biology by evolutionary process. It's got nothing to do with taxes.


I'm in a few Simplex and Signal groups, they work nicely.

The term "anarchy" was popularized by socialists. Free-marketeers should abandon it.


My to-do/to-read list is too long already, but you are welcome to summarize the key idea(s).

But I don't really trust anthropological studies, I feel like they rely on guesswork too much.

Anyway, the argument is clear: #Free #markets do work and we know the theory behind it - economic calculation and distributed decision making. We also see it in practice: That's how you, for example, got a supercomputer in your pocket. It's also the only moral way, because it's voluntary and peaceful. (Any alternative is by definition based on violence.)

That's basically it. Case closed.


Austrian econ specifically says that value is subjective, there is no prescribed theology or value system. Austrian method of study is praxeology, it's based on deductive logic - actual opposite of faith/religion. If you disagree with any Austrian conclusions, you are free to challenge their logic and provide your own arguments.


They don't deal with epistemic theory of truth.


Is it #voluntary or is it #coerced?

That is the basic question everyone should ask regarding every relationship - whether it's #business, #political or #personal one.

If you give someone #authority over you, you have no guarantee that it won't be misused against you. Even worse, it will attract people who do want to use it for their own benefit.

And no, designating power via #democratic #elections does not solve this problem - it just allows the #majority to rule over the #minority.


Well, I've read Friedman, Hazlitt, Hayek, Locke and others, and I can assure you that it's not true.


No, it's not. Where do you get these things?


They are not truths. 😅 (Most of them, anyway.)


1. Why are you reposting this BS again?
2. Why don't you at least try to support your silly delusions with some arguments?


Did your professor invent a new meaning for antisemitism, mr. "anti"-racist?

Cool. Now do Bitcoin logo that shows surveillance and non-fungibility.


For something to become money it must be #fungible. #Bitcoin is not. But it doesn't need to have a hard limit. #Gold was money for centuries, if not longer and it doesn't have a hard limit. Also, it's ironic that you are using large corporations to support your argument.

Bitcoin is good for saving. If you want money, you want #Monero.

The never ending story of #statism:
1. #Politicians find something that can be improved.
2. Create a #government program to achieve it.
3. Raise #taxes to fund it.
4. Taxes are a cost that is inevitably transferred to #citizens, lowering their standard of living and causing more #problems.
5. Back to point 1.


Wow! I didn't know he served in the army. What a disappointment!


Can't disagree with your clever and elaborate argument


Why?


The idea of intellectual "property" is a complete nonsense.


You don't "stake" sats, you stack em.


#Free #market gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of #belief in #freedom itself.

There's no such thing as stability in value. On the other hand, a characteristic missing in the list is fungibility.


Well, it must suck to hate yourself.


You're using the word "Zionist" like it's a bad thing. 😃


Bitcoin is a non fungible token.

Democracy is a dictatorship of majority. A mob rule. There's nothing civilized about democracy.

mises.org: The Myth of Market Failure -- https://tinyurl.com/2cxluqcv -- Mainstream economists often claim that “market failure” is everywhere. However, when one investigates these so-called failures, one has to conclude that government intervention often is behind them. #liberty #news

In #democracy, you play a form of diner's dilemma from game theory. That's why you have an incentive to get as much as possible from the common (state budget) and vote for an #authoritarian #politician who will grant it for you, ever increasing the #tax burden. #decentralization #subsidiarity #privatization.


Still amazes me how strongly people identify with the concept of #nation. The idea that all Americans/Russians/Slovaks/Papuans have the same nature, interests, intelligence, etc. is completely off. People should be seen primarily as #individuals and not as members of a group. For example, what does an IT engineer from a city have in common with a pensioner from a rural area?

The next level is the idea that #nationalism is some kind of traditional value. A hundred years ago, the farthest an average person went was a horse ride to the nearest village. He had no idea of any "nation". A nation is a purely political invention.


Ideas cannot be owned, so there is no robbery.


Lack of fungibility is not a design flaw? Did the NSA design it?


There should be no organization that uses threats of violence against peaceful people, i.e. there should be no government.


Is it possible to have a version of #nostr (or some alternative socnet protocol) that uses no middle man at all? (Relays can be targets of attack.) #P2p communication, node-local storage and #dht based addressing similar to #bittorrent?

Just fucking use Monero already. Bitcoin blew its 15 year lead on creating an alternative system. No privacy = no freedom. We can't afford to fail again.

Instead of just copy pasting the cypherpunk manifesto, actually read what it says. Bitcoin is the antithesis of the manifesto.

That's Marxism for ya: "oppressor" bad, "oppressed" good.


Some people stay that way the whole life 😁


Many bitcoiners are statists.


I doubt they think about it as deeply. It's just a superficial marketing campaign.


"No weapons" is just a cheap selling point that they believe will be welcome by most people. As the green and progressive stuff is increasingly falling out of favor, "no weapons" is what they're left with.


#Bitcoin is a surveillance tech, all your onchain transactions stay available for everyone to read forever.


There is no such thing as a legitimate government. Not unless every governed person explicitly agrees to be governed, which is impossible on a larger scale.


Dá sa postovať z command lajny. Ak máš prístup na nejaký server, vieš si to naschedulovať tam.


A simple idea for the critics of the #freeMarket: Your criticism usually points to a business opportunity.

If you believe that prices are too high because of #corporate #greed, it should be easy to start the same kind of #business while undercutting the #prices of the competition.

If you believe that #women really make 80% for the same job, it should be easy to start a new company, pay them 90%, steal all the #female talent from the competion and make a big #profit.

You could prove your point and become rich while doing it. Of course, if you tried this, you would actually realize that your opinions were wrong.

There are quite a few times when this happened to Bitcoin. Your argument is so silly that I won't even bother with posting graphs.


There's no such thing as trickle down economics. It's a leftist strawman.


Are you trying to scare me away from #bitcoin? 😄


If it's a good idea, people will adopt it voluntarily. You can do activism if you wanna help. Authoritarian measures are not needed.


No. Schools should be deregulated and allowed to set curriculum however they want.


Unfortunately, vast majority of libertarians seem to be male. That's a problem if you are looking for a life partner.

You are wrong. The issue is block size. In btc people have to outbid others for limited space in a block, which drives up the price. In xmr the block size will adjust to accommodate the demand.


Not yet. None that I'm aware of.


No. Monero has variable block size so it won't have such issues.


A sidenote about marriage: Polygamy is a war time mating style. When men die in a fight, women don't have to stay single and childless. Monogamy is a peace time mating style. Men and women can be paired 1:1 so you don't have rich guys hoarding wives on one hand, and lonely, upset and potentially aggressive guys on the other.

So, what do you think happens when I top up a Revolut account with 100 eur, exchange them for usd, over time the dollar goes up, I swap it back for say 110 eur and then take out my euros? Is Revolut voluntarily losing money?


I would assume that if a bank claims to have my deposit of say $100, it can prove that it has that money physically in a safe, or more likely a corresponding position in the forex market.

But I see your point. It's very hard to actually prove that your dollars in e.g. eToro or Revolut actually exist.

The question is, when could this become a risk? Maybe in case of a bank/app run? It probably devaluates the dollar too.


To be 100% certain you would have to trace each digital dollar all the way back to the Fed.


The provider would have to show you the actual dollars for all the supposed dollar positions. That would be easy with bank notes in a safe, with digital dollars it gets tricky. You would just get a level higher and needed to trust or audit the entity that provides this digital dollar position for your app provider.


You can't. Not unless you can audit the app provider company.
