Yes.

In his interview with Jordan Peterson, I remember Saylor saying something like "Bitcoin is first of all a human protocol, then it is a computer protocol". In other words, assume the states co-opted what we call Bitcoin and captured all major mining pools. Maybe not physically but in principle e.g. You have to comply to xyz which undermines permissionlessness and leaves only a vague form of it. At the moment, if the consensus is reached (maybe after some years of other weird stuff happening), most Bitcoiners will stop seeing what we call Bitcoin to be Bitcoin. They will start Bitcoin by spinning off a fork and I'll make sure to go to that. Maybe it will have properties of ZEC, maybe Monero properties, I'll not say "but these came from ZEC". Nope. I'll pack it up. If they stay for a while longer, then it means the movement is fighting oppression from within a while longer. Maybe it will raid some sidechain and evolve further from there. Whatever. But Bitcoin cannot die unless one hunts and kills all Bitcoiners and wipes all nodes of the Genesis block, wipe all altcoins (which I do not consider anti-Bitcoin in the strictest sense but side projects coz people have to eat. If i had Hoskinson's skills I too would spin up some fancy chains). Bitcoin, the King, will stay on his hill. And when the moment comes, I kid you not, Eth, Solana, they'll all defend it. Not to mention Presidents around the world. Who can really attack Bitcoin to 100% destroy it and get away with it? Nobody.

Thanks. Sorry I hadn't seen it.

Does this flagging process use ChatGPT or other AI system, by any chance?

I enjoyed this. From what I gather, the Babel fork Akiela has executed will not be the dominant one because the world is now run by machines guided by the corporate Babel owned (via language) by whoever lives at skylevel 100+ (and it was decidedly accepted by humans centuries prior. Because UBI and because machines are smarter and stronger). So your world is a well structured setup for streamlined human economic advancement as guided by an AI Blockchain. My question now is, why does Akiela do it? Has she fallen in love with some sort of communist rhetoric or maybe her motherly let-everyone-play-fair hormones have kicked in? I'd like some backstory (or extra story) for this if there is any. Thanks again for this meticulously crafted story.

This leverage might literally go to the moon this time.

I once got a free subscription of a Google product that should've lasted 2 weeks. Less than a week later, my bank card was billed. When I mailed my complaint to Google, I was sent full documents on how to sue Google for compensation! Ha, fat chance. I tried putting Google on a do-not-charge list (I said I want to stop 'some sites' from charging my card) but was told by my bank they couldn't do that. Haven't used bank cards for online purchases since.

We could also uncover the following polls:

These brings a subjective experience to these discussions that tracks wants and desires over time. They could also do it differently for men and women. For men, start at 30 and track them up to 40. For ladies, start at 25 (because I think many women will want to be married at 25. While one will find it had to find 25 yo guys thinking of marriage).

This is awesome! 👌🏾 love the parallels.

OG💪🏾 My latest story in BooksandArticles is about timelocks, hope you like it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

😆 They probably have free shit-analyzing AI-toilets in need of more shit to analyze. So no problem.

I've downloaded this epic song 👌🏾

Lovely story on Trust.

So in the hypothetical world, there is a cascading movement to hodl. And the few who sell eventually sell to those who hodl, so the BTC dry up faster and faster. So when he can finally sell, in my scenario, he sells for airport tickets. I imagine it would be like seeing a gold bug pay at the airport with a gold bar.
