We are beyond orange pilling. If you do not want Bitcoin do not buy it. Your problem.
Why has no one done this:
- Create a decentralized network (blockchain, whatever) that doesn’t have its own token but just uses Bitcoin as a unit.
- Bitcoin is locked into this network through Bitcoin scripts. Perpetual swap is used to peg the Bitcoin value to USD.
- The network can send USD to other people. Fees are paid in USD and Bitcoin is claimed out of the network as compensation for fees.
- No bullshit, no scam tokens, secured by the Bitcoin network’s hash power.
Or is this how taproot assets are going to work?
The network is extremely valuable but that doesn’t mean that overly focusing on building a network is efficient.
Most state currencies are like that. That doesn’t make them “private”.
Using this logic, every government department is private.
There is so much Bitcoin lost we can't even imagine. Bitcoin is going to be absolutely rare. People don't realize that.
A criminal defendant shouldn't have to do anything that might incriminate him.
I don't know, maybe, it was called, I don't know... The right to remain silent?
Having kids is the default, so there shouldn't be a "reason" to have them.
A father of 2 small ones here, going for a 3rd this year.
I always wanted to have children, as many as I could. Three is probably the most I can agree with my wife on, since we are not the youngest anymore and she is not as excited about children as I am (she also carries most of the burden overall).
Even though I know I cannot influence how they turn up, I see a lot of value in the process and in doing my part.
It is kind of incredible that there is an uninterrupted chain of life from the beginning of it to you, and the fact that you would end it for no good reason is just plain sad.
Humans are the most complex things in the universe (that we know of), and you can created a new one easily. Why would you NOT do it? Just to "enjoy" yourself? Why work if there is no one to do the work for? Why earn money if you can't spend it on your offspring?
Also, if the population collapses and there is much less people in the world (which seems like it sooner rather than later), than all the people focusing on a "career" will quickly loose their meaning in life.
There is no meaning without kids. Kids are the meaning. Everything is derived from the fact that there are other people. Make some, as many as you can.
I dislike the adoration of "world without people". The world is people. Without people, there is nothing.
If you already have a solid password manager, passkeys work well. For people who don't have password managers, passkeys are a trap.
"Yes 100% pay the taxes you owe. It is the correct, ethical and legal thing to do. To do anything otherwise is stupid. Do it."
Tell that to Alexander Hamilton, George Washington or Thomas Jefferson.
Your premise is so wrong, mate.
They are trying to save a sinking ship (ie USD).
In the long term, we are not all dead, as Keynes said, but all fiat is worthless.
I find it amusing how there's a sellout after each such an announcement, only for traders to look for the bottom and to buy back in with a little bit of extra profit. They will need to be invested in the long run anyway.
Because fiat is a scam.
