All these years actual Bitcoiners (NOT fiat speculators) have been explicitly informing everyone to avoid kYC - there is no excuse for anyone who fails to listen, think, and learn - so many have chosen badly, and will suffer at the hands of whichever state they foolishly complied with... maybe only harsh experience and significant cost will teach them ?
American invention ? The public writings of Satoshi seem to lean more towards being the expressions of a British author, or more pointedly, English.
The genesis block even contains a Times headline referring to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
This guy keeps trying to push these things, but there seems to be little to no organic enthusiasm for any of it - if there is no perceived great need, or sense of threat to rally people, no momentum is gained - and after the bitter taste that the Inscriptions garbage left in the wake of Taproot, it's not surprising forks are less than attractive - the beauty contest analogy here is fitting, but rather than a particular entrant, it seems the pageant as a whole is considered unappealing at this point.
This post and the majority of it's comments seem ironically, or perhaps perversely, to be an example of the behaviour described here - #796267
yes, post #779927 has the feel of an infomercial
always liked whichever Beatle played this - the backward phrasing and the way it fits into the mix, and for it's brevity -
yeah mircea rocked - as pitiless a character as he was, the radical voice in those trilema Bitcoin pieces always charged me up - i miss him like i miss trace mayer
posters on the r/Bitcoin sub are saying these two authors were the 'road to irrelevance' paper authors that caused much hilarity a while back - i'm left wondering how much they're being paid, and what it's denominated in...
@justin_shocknet your new friend has showed up here, lol.
She mentions a high chance of election near the end of the interview, around 33-34 minutes.
Her party is 597 - there are some tweets, and interviews on You Tube from Surinamese TV -
597 Board -
ABC Suriname interview (Dutch, can be translated in settings)
STVS Suriname interview (Dutch, can be translated in settings)
The Suriname Decentralised Conference (7-9 November) covers Bitcoin and Nostr.
@justin_shocknet - maybe consider contacting them about doing a Shocknet presentation ?
honestly, having scrolled thru various threads of late, i got the impression there wasn't any real organic enthusiasm for another 'feature fork' - the whole taproot thing being associated with all the ordinals/inscriptions garbage that everyone hates is probably the cause of that.
it didn't seem like it was even broad anti fork feelings as such, more of a reluctance to risk more 'unintended consequences' for something that may or may not be 'nice', but doesn't feel particularly imperative/urgent - in contrast, segwit was a long battle, but it got tied up with a cause - ie the narrative of fighting a hostile takeover- that made people rally to it.
you can't fake it to make it though, so if there isn't a 'vital' feel around it, it's probably not going to gain momentum, or attract interest in that way.
just sayin
