If the value per unit becomes too high, we simply divide it again, ever heard of milli sats?

So long as transaction fees aren't an issue, the value per unit doesn't matter to everyday use, just that the value is stable.

That's the beauty of states stacking, they will accelerate the devaluation of their own currencies.

States having sats does not equal states controlling Bitcoin, it does however shift incentives away from fighting Bitcoin, especially if they are competing with each other in order to have some.

We might need to speed up layer 2 improvements if we want to keep decentralization up though, if states do start stacking hard it's going to become very expensive to manage channels.

He is stating a likely reality, Bitcoin is for Everyone with a capital E... that means states as well.

Please share how you propose stopping states from stacking?

There are many good channels on YouTube on the topic by people that are diagnosed themselves!

When it's not too important stuff like this then summaries are cool, I don't really have time to DYOR to this depth

This is really cool, keep it up!

Are you planning on doing more of these for different topics?

Don't bet if you don't have a prediction, and don't tell me what to do with my sats.

I have one store where I can buy groceries with LN and it's almost just as smooth as using Fiat. I consider the (slight) fees an investment into my own future.

Instead of buying something with fiat, buy BTC with the fiat, then buy the thing with the BTC...

Bright colors do correlate with being poisonous, being venomous, however...

Maybe El Salvador will be the first to give something like this a try.

Historically there has been a major uptrend in quality of life, on average at least, and we've managed to overcome the issues we create by solving other problems.

I don't see a reason to think of now being different than before.

4000 - 5000 sats for a cappuchino

They accepted BTC last time I used them.

A lot of what contributed to my care rating is that I believe prevention and rehabilitation are more effective than cure and punishment from what I've seen over the years.

I think care and fairness are more closely linked to my personality than my ideology, not that you can really separate the two.

I consider myself an optimistic pragmatist rather than a liberal or conservative.
