They are selling the IOU of an IOU. Don't get drunk with water

Rod is doing it for fun. If AI is generating the music (digitally), then who you should zap some sats?

You can't compare AI generated music with Joe Satriani for example...

You literally can see his PoW... with that guitar.

be careful out there on internet. Nowadays most of the music is made by AI, so no real PoW from a real artist.

pretty good movie from the pre-2000 era when movies were still OK, not the garbage we see nowadays. GenZ will not like it :)

yeah for family use is ok. Did you tried also https://hivetalk.org ?

I think people are misinterpreting that table. The "in" column is what you receive (leech/download). The "out" column is what you send (seed/upload/share).

In other words, you are syncing /downloading from 17 peers and giving to 10 peers.

yeah shipping is key that matter in this. Will be necessary to have sellers for each region, to lower the costs of delivery.

I will not order 100 TP from a seller delivering from US or China to Italy.

Buying from local stores is the best way. So for all these daily products we have to convince more local small shops to accept bitcoin. In my case was years and years of convincing work until I find 2-3 that can deliver to me anything I need and pay in BTC. So I sporadically buy online, only when I find something better or they cannot deliver in time.

will be (using bitcoin), but isolated, in small communities. Insignificant for the whole. There's no hope for the actual world.

That will never happen. People are too stupid for Bitcoin. They will embrace faster a CBDC than Bitcoin.

In order to be adopted, people must be smarter and stop being obedient sheeps.

People will not start spending their sats on daily necessities until they will start earning them (not buying/DCA).

Only then will see the true value of each sat and how they should spend it.

It all started in 1911-1913 with the creation of Federal Reserve (see the book "The Creature From Jeckyll Island" by Ed. Griffin.

In a private meeting Col. Edward Mandell House told to Woodrow Wilson:

“Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a National system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a chargeback for our fiat paper currency.

Every American will be forced to register or suffer not being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattel, and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, forever to remain economic slaves through taxation, secured by their pledges.

They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two would figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debt to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges.

This will inevitably reap to us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor or to this fraud which we will call “Social Insurance.” Without realizing it, every American will insure us for any loss we may incur and in this manner; every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and, we will employ the high office of the President of our dummy corporation to foment this plot against America.”

Also Mandell helped to pick the charter members of the original Federal Reserve Board; https://www.scribd.com/document/114702104/Edward-Mandell-House

I didn't say is the best for you. I only point out the differences.

A good read for all fiat loan lovers here: #816795

You are not paying attention. You are still part of the problem: creating more fiat from thin air (aka with your signature).

Also think about this: to be in (fiat) debt it means somebody will create those money that you do not have (in fact with your own signature) and also they do not have (aka scam) and give it to you with interest.

Explained very nicely in this movie scene (El Concursante)

So by entering in fiat debt, you are literally supporting the scam (creating new money out of thin air). You are supporting your own slavery.

In order to destroy fiat, first we have to get rid of fiat debt.

as I said, connected doesn't mean are also downloading blocks. It could be very easily just pinging your node and waiting for response until one of the leechers are getting kicked out.

Also you will have to "announce" your node with

externalip=yourP2pTorHiddenService.onion or clearnet IP
listen=1

still limited to 8 peers

reachable means port 8333 open, it means more than 8 default limit peers that can download from your node. non-reachable means port 8333 closed. All Tor nodes cannot open port 8333. Tor do not use ports.

I said personal nodes are limited to max 8-10 peers. Is also written in Bitcoin documentation read here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/8109/how-does-one-attain-1-000-connections-like-blockchain-info/8140#8140

Read more about Bitcoin P2P networking here: https://developer.bitcoin.org/devguide/p2p_network.html

Nobody said that if your node is on Tor network will not sync. Will only be limiting the INBOUND connections to 8.

Do you ever used torrents? Bitcoin blockchain works almost the same as torrents. In your torrent client you can open to limited peers to seed or to everybody. You can also limit the bandwidth and/or IPs./networks. You can still download the torrent even if you do not open any port for seeding. That means you are only a leecher. Once you start opening to share more the torrent to multiple peers, then you became a seeder. For more seeders will have the torrent, faster will be downloaded and kept alive.
