315 sats \ 1 reply \ @kruw 21h \ on: How Bitcoin Supports Democracy bitcoin
Bitcoin is here to abolish democratic governance, not support it. Democracy is when the parasites overwhelm the productive host population and leech taxes from them.
Bitcoin fixes this because there is no voting allowed. Proof of Work is all that is allowed. The productive are not vulnerable to the opinions of democratic parasites: The only have to work harder than the democratic parasites to defend the chain from 51% attacks.
If you know someone's address, presumably it is not empty
Dust attackers only target empty addresses that have already spent their coins.
If it is empty, presumably it will never be reused.
That's the point: Dust attackers purposely refill it so it will be reused by a clumsy victim.
❌ This is the flaw with Full-Agg for protocols like CoinJoin or PayJoin, Full-Agg introduces complexity.
Coinjoins are already interactive, so there's no new complexity introduced.
You are unfairly targeting innocent Bitcoiners who want to protect their privacy. A coinjoin transaction combines inputs from multiple Bitcoin users. This means your policy of censoring every transaction participant causes unnecessary collateral damage.
The coinjoin coordinator running on my node accepts 2,500+ new BTC and confirms 20,000 BTC in total volume each month. It accepts exactly zero ETH.
You're wrong, the US dollar is a government currency. The chairman of the Federal Reserve is nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate.
An example of a private currency would be Bitcoin.
He's exactly correct. The reason socialism is able to create so many victims is because the vast majority of people in the world are completely evil. "Public Sector Workers" are simply parasites.

Let's not pay attention to shitcoin founders...
Why is OCEAN merely pretending to censor data transactions by using mempool filters instead of actually censoring them by refusing to validate any blocks that contain data transactions? Rijndael made "Bitcoin Purifier" so your pool can start a "spam" free fork of Bitcoin: https://github.com/rot13maxi/bitcoin-purifier
Still, I'm very interested in the technical aspects of it.
It's not technical, it's entirely economic: If there are transactions in the mempool that double spend the same coin, rational miners have an incentive to confirm the one that pays the highest fee rate.
FSR proponents are simply retards - They propose miners should always confirm the transaction they saw first and censor conflicting transactions that pay higher fee rates.
I'm not making any claims, you are. The troubling part is that the claims you are making have already been proven false in real life:
Say someone came to you and said "If we raised the maximum block size of Bitcoin with a hard fork, that will give the network more utility and cause the price to increase."
This is at least a credible hypothesis. However, you don't have to rely on any future predictions when arguing against this person because this hypothetical hard fork event ALREADY HAPPENED. The outcome was already measured in real life and determined to be false.
More people have been dying due to extreme heat events. Storms, hurricanes, droughts, floods, extreme weather swings, and wildfires have been increasing as predicted.
This prediction did not match the real world outcome of humanity's expansion of carbon dioxide production:
^ Global warming cultists, like BCH/BSV cultists, will look at their chart going straight to zero and say "Yes! It's exactly like I predicted!"
Meanwhile, the real world lives on in prosperity because they chose to bet against these fanatics.
You said the UN's science is "directionally correct", how would you know if you didn't even look in the other direction? Clearly, the UN's predictions about global warming was proven false, so it's worth looking into the ACTUAL results that came from performing the scientific method.
That seems like the default I would expect from imprisonment.
In a libertarian framework, the function of imprisonment is to force the prisoner to repay their debts. Denying the prisoner access to any value creating opportunities stands in the way of that goal. If a friend or a charity wants to gift something like books or basketballs to the prisoner, I don't see any justification for superseding the prisoner's ownership of those things.
In a statist framework, the function of imprisonment is to inflict punishment on the prisoner. Since suffering is the intended purpose, I don't want to give the government any good ideas on how to maximize it.
Ask the opposite: Is group confinement in prisons a human rights violation? Not having a criminal for a roommate seems like a perk.
