This how I read it too. Being a bitcoiner is all well and good, but why? If you don't have some other purpose in life, what's the point of saving in sound money?
The more I work toward the important things in life (my family, my friends, my hobbies, my goals), the more reason I have to save in sound money. So, the less my life revolves around Bitcoin, the more of a bitcoiner I need to be.
The opposite is also true, the more I save and use bitcoin, the better my position becomes to focus on the things that really matter, and to provide for the people that I love.
If I'm trying to cause absolute chaos? "This is God, I am real, and your religion is the correct one; all religions aside from yours are false."
I felt quite vindicated when I found Die Hard in the "Christmas Movies" section on one of the streaming platforms this year.
I'm in an ongoing battle with my other half over whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not.
I guess SN hates Star Wars?
The original trilogy is excellent. The prequel trilogy is also great, yes it's cheesy and full of memes but I still love watching it (yes, even The Phantom Menace).
In conclusion, ALL SIX of the main movies are pretty good.
The other media cam be hit and miss but there's some good stuff out there like Rogue One (movie), The Mandalorian (TV show), The Clone Wars (cartoon), and The Force Unleashed (video game).
An interesting thread Dave, thanks for sharing. I don't think @ObiJuanCoinobi will read it though.
I hadn't thought of Switzerland. I had the pleasure of visiting Geneva once as an A-level student, a beautiful city.
My guess is that it's not optimising for single transaction efficiency, but rather efficiency over the long run. The most efficient strategy is to have one UTXO in your wallet, so you always need only one input.
If you have multiple UTXOs in your wallet, it makes sense (from efficiency perspective) to use multiple UTXOs now in order to consolidate them into a change UTXO. Over time, the number of UTXOs will get smaller. This way you tradeoff a small amount of efficiency in that particular transaction to gain high efficiency in the long run.
The alternative is to use the minimum number of UTXOs now, and eventually end up with a large number of small UTXOs. At some point you will be hit with huge transaction fees when you try to spend them.
That's probably what's happening here.
Likewise. For a time I was looking at Norway, but that was before I became a bitcoiner. It's close by, has a climate and culture that I like, but the taxes are very high.
Recently I've been looking at Singapore but the job market is fairly brutal over there right now, and it's far.
Anywhere you've got your eyes on?
I think about leaving fairly often, but it's so expensive to do so. I could convince my other half to come with me, but I've got other family here that I'd struggle to leave behind.
And as you say, where the hell can you even go to that's better?
I honestly don't remember! I've been here a while now. If I had to guess, I think I found SN while research sites that use lightning as an authentication method. That's what initially drew me in.
Like with a lot of things, privacy isn't a binary thing, it's a scale. Address reuse doesn't immediately nullify your privacy, it merely reduces it. You have to decide whether the reduction in privacy is worth the confidence you gain by sending to a known-good address.
