That actually seems like a lot!
Standing buy for a jump rope, same color. Love the idea. @ me some time when you have some in stock. Would love to trade some sats for that.
Right ! Eventually it will happen. Pretty wild to think that someone can earn 1/21m btc here on SN and likely will.
Well, I'm fully aware that I would have to lower my standard of living a LOT right now, but I would go to one of the many small bitcoin circular economies and I would plug myself in. I am speculating that the size and amount of these economies will continue to grow. The Bitcoin Network benefits from every user and so does the bitcoin social network so I think we will see an increase of places that will welcome you with open arms if you're willing to spend/earn sats. I have no qualms with living under a palm tree.
I don't see anything wrong with subjecting yourself to which ever government you're living at any given time but I do see something terribly wrong with governments removing the ability to remove yourself from them. That's why I bitcoin. I can play their game, and will, to keep myself and my family fed and nourished, but if I get to a point of feeling personally oppressed, I will leave it all behind and take my capital with me. Because I can. I used to be a bit of an anarchist but through the study and use of bitcoin I have actually become a little more in favor of every type of government. They should exist for the people who want to use them and live that way. But there should always be choice, and bitcoin provides that to us all.
For me, it's freedom of movement. I think bitcoin does a wonderful job at keeping governments in check. Now that capital flight control is severely weakened by bitcoin, I don't really care that A. governments exist or B. what type of governments there are. If I continue to earn (in any currency) and only save in bitcoin, I'll be prepared to simply leave if my circumstances diminish because of a nefarious government. This is a great feeling! Bitcoin makes the world much smaller, for everyone.
I'm doing some traveling near good places to play poker so I'll be playing about 20 hours of poker this weekend at the casino :). poker and bitcoin go very well together
You seem to be referring to the price of bitcoin. What do you mean bring bitcoin down? In the face of total fiat disaster you better believe blocks are still going to be filled with transactions. Which is sort of the point, right?
I had said in the earlier HBO post that a good attack on bitcoin, if someone wanted to attack it, would be to label a false Satoshi and make him/her prove otherwise in the eyes of the public. Hopefully this stuff with @petertodd doesn't catch fire and end up in everyones MSM feed. They really did endanger him and it's surprising to me that they did this without much consulting.
Agreed. I think it should be important to promote and practice simply listening to your body and adjusting accordingly. People’s bodies react differently to different shit. Some people should likely eat a more veggie heavy diet and some people should likely eat a meat heavy diet.
Woah this plays right into some speculative thoughts I was having the other day:
An effective attack on bitcoins social consensus, I believe, would be to “identify” and prosecute Satoshi Nakamoto. Dragging the name through the mud on a very public alter.
