I see it as inevitable because the base layer of every other currency is broken beyond repair. You still have faith in government-issued tokens.
How are we to operate a V4V moderated P2P social media platform using L1?
You can take on that responsibility if you want. It's not mine.
Why would I care about a statist's opinion on what's good for Bitcoin?
Governments are the only obstacle to adoption because they're the only organizations willing and able to physically harass us for using it.
You have a commitment to a layer two? I'm not going to commit to something in between final settlement. That's ridiculous. I pay the fees when it's offering something useful to me in exchange. I'm not going to donate to LN for the network's sake.
I had a gun, sent sats, and now the gun is gone. What's the issue? I live on the thing IRL but you want to me to prove it with $50 worth of BTC on here? Why?
If we're going to take stock of who's a real Bitcoiner, you can't be a true believer in statism and be a Bitcoiner. You're a peacetime statist. That's the worst kind. At least my statism is temporary and done out of spite. You're the type that drags it out for decades because you think it's actually useful for something.
Governments are competing to buy Bitcoin and you're hung up on a horse icon? Like that matters? Your statism is an existential threat to humanity and you're gonna call out people over the horse? What is that?
Oh yeah, British spelling. You inherited their smallness and state-worship.
Bro we are our own agency already. If there's 10,000 people in a city who are into Bitcoin, we can have a meetup of 200 decent people without worrying about 5 lingering feds. What are they gonna do? They're going to warn DC that there's a group of libertarians in the Southwest who aren't buying treasuries? I think they know. It seems like someone talked.
Whether the government wants to kill us for using BTC or not is their problem. We'll deal with whatever they throw at us when they throw it. Might as well enjoy the peaceful meetups now while they're legal.
When you call it a "jungle" that's just a vague insulting metaphor. When I say "extortion" I'm describing your system perfectly.
It's not a perfect system but it is the best we have have found.
No. We have a new system now. No more extortion.
You have to be bribed to get a gun such is your lack of genuine commitment and intent.
Questioning my commitment is just silly. There's a real gun backing my intent to keep Bitcoin legal in my neighborhood.
It is not size that matters but intent.
You're a statist. You're the last person who should be bringing up intent.
Gold up ~20, BTC down 80% since I bought gold with sats.
Are you going to finish the trade or wait for $50k BTC?
but my gold is stamped with the gold shops mark and redeemable at that shop for the current market price
It doesn't matter whether your cut is authentic. The gold network in general is a logistical nightmare that fundamentally isn't as good as Bitcoin. You get the price for it that you do because the market is falling for other people's painted tungsten.
I send and receive sats all the time, including here. Your obsession with the icons makes no sense and whether I have a horse or not doesn't change the trajectory of the global economy. You trading in your gold for Bitcoin would do a lot more for adoption than me refilling my SN wallet with 100 sats.
Of course it's going to $1 million and beyond because the dollar is going to zero. Bitcoin doesn't run on Stacker News. It's a one trillion dollar asset in a world where for some reason your painted tungsten is a thirty trillion dollar asset.
People that bought at $100k feel stupid so they want to lock in their losses now while they wait for $900k to buy back in.
All statist economies are farms for human labor. If China were the only country on earth it's still a suck place to live because communists are running central planning schemes. The US and China are both mixed economies. If the tax rate is 20% then you have 20% dumbass failing government fraud programs and 80% productive business. That's the metric on how you judge if a country has a strong economy or not.
There was never any electoral hope for the right in countries where conservative opinions are illegal. Might as well tell them the truth and if they still insist on suicide then it's their own fault.
