He's basically saying he's cool with bitcoin being digital tullips, as long as number keeps going up. Hopefully someone explains to him that if bitcoin doesn't work as a medium of exchange then it also won't work as a store of value

I agree with you. If we assume bitcoin is a better payment protocol than fiat, the success of bitcoin isn't guaranteed just from that. It still takes people to think through the consequences for themselves, and adopt it for themselves, both as a recipient and by paying others in it. If people don't do this then it will still fail, since it is just numbers in a ledger unless it eventually has  value as e-cash, which is fundamentally it's only use case. If there was absolute certainty that it had no value as a medium of exchange then it also has no value as a store of value, because you can't extract value from something which only exists to have value extracted from it, without serving some other purpose. Zaps are a good start but the adoption of bitcoin as payment has to outstrip all the threats to bitcoin. Increased bitcoin users per se does not guarantee bitcoin is winning this race.

$86 billion sounds like a lot until you realise the annual value of trading in yuan is over 100 trillion usd.  So bitcoin is around 0.07% of that. But estimates are about 55 billion usd traded in gold so bitcoin is doing well relative to that.

Fukk broke Bitcoiners! Fukk hodlers!! Fukk hoarders!!

That’s my profound speech today! #nostr 💕 🫂


The 'Bitcoin is a Miracle that Will Save Us All' crowd don't really help bitcoin. How can you improve something or have people trust you to reccomend it to them if you refuse to see its weaknesses?


Money isn't pain unless you offer it and attach with it a request of pain. Money itself is inert, like technology.


I actually think you've got this one backwards.

The builders are despondent that bitcoin has gained very little mainstream traction as a global cashless payment system, and with base layer fees and l2 problems that seems to be further away than ever.

Meanwhile, the early adopters and maxi peddlers have gained exit liquidity from ETFs that give bitcoin nothing by way of increased useability or value.


I think anyone who espouses the virtues of Bitcoin to a non-bitcoiner (freedom money, decentralised, separate and fortressed from government coersion, confiscation or control) and then refers that person to a KYC exchange is a fraud.

Imagine selling someone a gold bar, after convincing them of the necessity for sound money, real currency and soverign ownership, and that the money they are handing over in exchange is worth little, but not telling them there is a government tracking device inside the bar that alerts the government when it is aquired, and how much the bar is worth when it is. But this person selling is holding gold bars the government doesn't know about, and wants cash for them. That's what's happening.


Haha, ok


No, my arguments apply. Bitcoiners advertise it as a way out from government surveillance but then direct people to kyc exchanges


And how do you suggest people buy it? Your friend again?


What is a legal way to remove kyc? Not that your coins can't be traced to you, but your purchase can't be


It is to get it anonymously, or else too difficult or risky for 99.9% of people


I think that's you


If you do that then you don't hold the main thing that satoshi said was good about bitcoin


My main point is that Satoshi's whitepaper doesn't mention kyc and the fact that it exists and is how most people have bought bitcoin means that bitcoin as it exists for nee purchasers doesn't actually fulfil the central promise it set out to. And just stfu I will buy illegally is fine for people who are willing to do illegal stuff but what is the market cap of bitcoin if only those people are willing to hold


Those layers won't increase adoption if the underlying asset is impossible to get legally without kyc


Is that how you orange pill people these days? It's illegal, but do it anyway?


No. You have to report a capital loss in the usa, especially if significant. Failure can mean prison time. And that's now, while bitcoin isn't even really a threat yet. And to report that capital loss they will want to know the wallet addresses


He could probably sell me a lot of things. Onboarding the masses for mass adoption isn't one of them


Whenever the govt wants, if you bought kyc. Mixing them is no different to saying you lost them. It still needs to be reported to the ira


That's my point. Having to break the law to be free isn't a good solution


ok


changes nothing about your purchase...


Does that make it legal?


You mean this?
https://m.primal.net/Hpsb.png


Oh. Well hodlhodl is illegal in Australia and USA. Mixing coins afterwards wouldn't change that. Is that your solution?


You'll have to explain


Bitcoin is freedom. Almost everyone buys bitcoin through KYC platforms. KYC means the government knows how much bitcoin you bought. Failing to declare a capital loss is an offence.

Ergo, the government knows how much bitcoin you have.

Non-kyc exchanges are illegal in most jurisdictions and impractical for large purchases.

If you live in society you can't demand consent for everything. Should people require your consent to look at you, if they enjoy that? Or to say hi to you? Is your goal to be completely anonymous to everyone, yet live among people? These are practical impossibilities and also I don't get why anyone would care. Be proud of people knowing about you. I think you'll find they are far less bad-intentioned than you imagine


There are far too many customers for any authority to do anything to you personally with your face pic. Your photo is being taken all the time, at airports, at and cctv street camera, atm, when you walk in most shops. Nobody cares unless you've got an arrest warrant or something. But sure, if it becomes like china and they use ai etc to do social credit, that is a problem, but it's hard for western governments to do that without getting voted out.

That's a bit more accurate. Taxpayers/ bond/ cash holders, and future generations when the inevitable can kicking doesn't work anymore, is who really pays.


I think technically most people appreciate that bitcoin is better than fiat, that we'd all be better off on a bitcoin standard. But most people also realise that until the current world governments collapse that isn't going to happen


Until you get robbed


Bitcoin will  never be mainstream until this changes

My mum loses her car keys at least once a week, and leaves her handbag at the supoermarket at least once a year. When I sent her bitcoin, I literally wrote her seed phrase on a piece of paper and said 'if you lose this you will lose your bitcoin'. She lost it


It won't


reasons this won't happen:
- the kids aren't in school so DHS will come and take them.
- you are in the tropics so you'll all get malaria
- home garden pic is England, so everything will be stolen
- lawyers will convince that wife of yours to take your assets in a divorce, granting her 90% of your assets, plus ongoing support. And you'll be on the hook for her since she can't work and all those kids while she moves to vegas or back in with her mum, who says you're a dirty savage
- the court won't find your bitcoin, but will look at precedent, and assume all that you bought you still have, and add that as your property.

Old machinery isn't worth owning if you want to do more than just look at it. The grace we gain as we age is limited to (some) humans


I don't think that's the way it works. Sound money just allocates value more efficiently and encourages activity more  aligned with the interests of the entire ecosystem


Just listened to some songs that I had previously listened to while under the influence of marijuana.

If the State is going to exist then one of it's primary roles is to protect existing citizens from threats from abroad. On this day it was clear that the Austtalian Government had failed at this.

If the State won't protect it's citizens then it has no business taxing them.

Hi! Nothing much


Oh fair enough. You're talking about paying for stuff over the net. Yeah I guess that is another issue. I think Saylor was talking about using his public key to verify his identity, so perhaps that's the avenue things go down. I honestly really don't understand how that works though. I know sharing a public key on X gives your corresponding account on Nostr some credibity.


Feel free to mute me if me talking is bothering you


I think I follow what you're saying: people will be regulated offline, and that will affect what they are willing to say online. But obviously lots of people are using pseudonyms and it would usually not be worth the resources necessary to figure out who they are.  But yes, anyone who is willing to put up a real name or business name that connects them to the real world can be held accountable in the real world, so real-world laws apply to what they say. This increases the credibility of what they say compared to someone only willing to use a pseudonym.


I think we need to move from information as a noun to information as a verb. Can anyone relate to what I'm saying?

You think differently about the EU and such places banning X once you start posting on Nostr. It's kind of like how it would probably actually be good for bitcoin if States went hard after exchanges because it would make hodlers less KYC'd. Both would likely suck in the short term though.

And everyone will move to swamp town because it feels more real.


Eventually, while it may be objectively close to guidelines, the centralised community will gain a sense of inauthenticity, like that town in Shrek


The ecosystem can react by rolling back previous bans, but many people have moved on permanently.


Maybe at first regulated content wins, but over time more and more people get removed from that network, since basically all humans will breach a set of ambiguous behavioural rules eventually.


A centrally regulated network would only be bigger if more people preferred the gain in not having to regulate (think) as much themselves vs what they lose in some content being removed from them entirely


Isn't everything sort of regulated in a way? A decentralised network is regulated via people having followers, or at the extreme, what people are willing to share and believe.


I think generally what he's saying though is not bad- ie you need to tailor each health solution to the person, but some stuff is a bit pseudoscientific for me.

The statement "Coca-Cola can clean toilets, so imagine how it is burning your bowel" is factually incorrect for several reasons, primarily because it misunderstands the nature of chemical reactions and the human digestive system.

1. **Different Reactions in Different Environments:** The ability of Coca-Cola to clean toilets is attributed to its acidic properties, mainly due to the presence of phosphoric acid and carbonic acid. These acids can help in breaking down stains and buildup in toilets. However, the human stomach already contains hydrochloric acid, which is significantly stronger than the acids found in Coca-Cola. The stomach's acid is capable of breaking down foods and does not get "burned" or harmed by the comparatively weaker acids in Coca-Cola.

2. **Digestive System's Resilience:** The human digestive tract is designed to handle a wide range of foods and beverages, including those that are acidic. The lining of the stomach is protected by a mucus layer that prevents the acid from damaging the stomach walls. After leaving the stomach, the contents are neutralized by alkaline pancreatic juices in the small intestine, further reducing any potential harm from acidity.

3. **Misinterpretation of Chemical Reactions:** The assertion implies a misunderstanding of how chemical reactions work in different contexts. Cleaning effectiveness is not directly translatable to harmful effects on biological tissues. Many substances that are effective cleaners (like vinegar or baking soda) are not harmful to the body in moderate amounts and are, in fact, commonly consumed.

4. **Regulation and Safety:** Beverages and food products are subject to strict food safety regulations and standards that ensure they are safe for human consumption. The acidity levels in Coca-Cola and similar soft drinks are deemed safe for consumption by regulatory bodies around the world.

In summary, the claim oversimplifies and misrepresents the science of chemistry and digestion. While it's important to consume soft drinks in moderation due to their high sugar content and potential impacts on dental and overall health, the comparison to cleaning toilets and the effect on the bowel is not scientifically accurate.


ok fair enough. Thanks


So how do I actually get anyone to view my post or follow me ?


Types of relationships:

1. Help someone build a big building. Eg. normal/effort/waiting -> maybe too slow

2. Not build anything. Eg. dole bludger (young) -> herbivore man (older)

3. Build alone. Have casual relationships. Eg. player (young) -> John (older)

4. Just go with it. Eg. family man (young) -> single dad (older)

5. Build physical and emotional buildings in separate jurisdictions. Eg. world traveller (young) -> pen pals (older)

6. Move to a more male-friendly jurisdiction. Eg. polymath (young) -> provider (older)

7. Find someone working on a big building. Eg. Waiting for her (young) -> resent her for having had to wait for her (older)

8. Find someone who has finished building a big building. Eg. difficult to find (young) -> easy to find (older)

So maybe try to do a little of each.


It's weird snap isbasically the opposite of  nostr. Would you like to have what you say or pics you show last a few seconds or forever?
