You yearn for substance over superficiality. Not just with regard to your meals, but to the people, work, and the environment that you find yourself in. Ultimately, you want to find your core. You want to root out the imposter, the one who settles, and reveal your true authenticity.
We will ask for proof, such as sign a known Satoshi utxo, let's see if nsa can do what Craig Wright could not do. Without that, tick tock next block™.
Swan has suffered a sequence of serious issues. The customer exfiltration data breach resulting in ongoing phishing attacks and now this latest insider mining infrastructure "rug pull".
To cool some concerns and adhering to the mantra: "Don't trust. Verify." I call on Swan to publish proof of reservers like River did.
On the Southwestern slope of Mount Parnassus is located the Temple of Apollo. It is near the modern town Delphi. Inscribed at the entrance is written "Γνῶθι σεαυτόν" which means, "Know thyself". Socrates made this profound phrase rather well known. Your post reminded me of this, which I visited once while reading through the complete works of Plato. Cheers.
Fascinating. Did you reach out to Wei Dai and John Matonis regarding this question? Their response would be worth much more than a grain of salt. There are forensic linguists out there who may have an opinion on authorship, but that seems weaker than confirmation from the actual correspondents.
I would say that it is happening with fiat everywhere, its just that the rate it is happening varies.
My response to the SN Leaderboard was less dramatic. I basically ignored it. Milking sats is not why I am here. But I do see your points. It shifts focus from Community to a kind of Competition or earnings platform.
SN will only grow if all types of people are here.
I don't know. There is a strong argument to disallow shitcoinery, useless bots and things like hate speech here.
If only there were a form of money that could be transferred securely without fear of intermediaries confiscating it...
Imagine finding yourself in the position where you are a Bitcoin maxi and pro Trump? From his pro Bitcoin position in Nashville, Donald Trump has gone full shitcoiner. Not as a hodler of shitcoins, but as the prospective owner of a 70% pre-mined full on shitcoin. If there was ever a rug-pull in waiting, this is it. It is such a blatant and revolting scam that it makes me want to puke, and the saddest thing is that hard working suckers will lose all their money to this. But, in fairness, DJT once again exhibits his true character.
The "Stack": Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, and eCash. The innovations happening with this stack will lead to mass adoption. Killer apps are coming and Facebook, Twitter, Insta will be displaced by decentralized Nostr apps. Content creators will have much more portability with their followers. Which they monetize directly with zaps. This structure will also disrupt the massive Ad industry, orange pill millions, and power the Bitcoin economy.
That's a horror-show find. Decoding the ring must have been a scene. Do you normally carry around specimen tweezers, a magnifying glass, and rubber gloves, or did you bare hand this carcass and eyeball that ring?
And what was the owner's response?
Morbidly curious.
Kids don't have the baggage of knowing only fiat. And kids enjoy being their own bank. It's empowering.
Asset -> Money -> Currency
I see it evolving. It tried to be a currency out of the gate, "Electronic cash". But, for a lot of reasons I wrote a bit about, adoption is slow. The SoV property appears to have attracted the first major layer of adoption. Good money is taken out of circulation and bad money is spent and circulated. Gresham's Law.
Looking into history, this aligns with many other forms of money when they were introduced. First they are collected, then exchanged for major ceremonies like weddings and appointing new leaders/rulers. Then for large transactions, then for everything like gold.
Bitcoin is much more divisible and portable than Yap stones and gold, so I have no doubt that Bitcoin will become much more widely adopted.
It's not so much where "I" sit in the Venn diagram. But rather where Bitcoin sits currently.
- Stay humble. But prepare.
- Do a lot boating and kayaking.
- 3x5 Multi-sig might be an interesting option as far as making it impossible to move Bitcoin without 3 of 5 signers. This complicates kidnapping greatly.
- Defense from goons in general? See rule #1.
Thanks for sharing this @Car.
I for one have had to dig very deep to forgive the monsters of my past.
But forgiveness is not like, "Hey, remember how you made school a living hell for me? Let's grab a beer and watch the game."
No. Forgiveness is asking to lift the burden of that pain. To be at peace with the past. And to trust that ultimately every wrong will be answered. But not by me.
Releasing that burden allowed me to become the man I am today.
You become what you cannot forgive.
