Bitcoin making a government coffers transparent. That alone will fix a million things. Imagine if the pentagon budget is fully auditable by just running some software.

If hacked, the hackers can drain your daily limit ($200 now). So, if this ever becomes popular, it will be a big target. That's actual the concern for me - and why I am sticking for Trezor for now.

If it went bankrupt, 2 out of the 3 keys are still good and the code is source-available. So, that's actually not that bad.

One of the few times when you see the paradox of tolerance playing out. TikTok's poison is turn the zoomers ideologically toward China's ideals. Good riddance.

I think we are a little biased when viewing success from the Chinese perspective as being free & prosperous. That's not how the average person thinks across the globe. The goals there are stability & safety. Xi and the CCB are mostly successful at this front as well as shielding most of people from the downsides of pursuing those goals.

It's the same reason America is really attractive for certain groups of people. You might go from being a respected doctor in your country to an Uber driver. But the pursuit of freedom & prosperity is worth it for you, and no one else in the world thinks this way. (South America is the closest, but still a distant second)

This is also why some people absolutely go nuts when politician in Americans take a little bit of freedom for safety or stability or whatever.

My dad works there as a low-level employee. Basically, unhirable elsewhere due to his age (60+). He had their stock as part of retirement, which I made him sell 6 months ago.

I had a good talk with him over the last weekend how they may collapse in a week. It gave him some existential anxiety.

If it wasn’t for Bitcoin; I would be anxious as well. Thankfully, I can take care of him with no worries as the fiat shit complex continues to collapse.

Feature request! Please add webhooks - I love everything about zaprite but I can’t use it without webhooks

I have no idea - I was happy with strike for auto DCA and p2p for smash purchases. I only moved to River recently and everything is okay except this ridiculous “trust us” delay.

Can someone explain to me why this guy opinions get attention? Did he invent something? Build a business? Have a rich intellectual career? Made a killing in the stock market?

I am not being sarcastic, because he really sounds like an idiot for tons of stuff he spews out, perhaps everything. Reminds me of propaganda tv hosts in the Middle East - no expertise in anything but full of “wisdom” providing cope for the ruling class.

Why is he famous?

Yea, but SN is value for value. Twitter wants you to pay, but they don’t give something back. It’s a one way street.

Reddit and other social media execs.

There is some early, but promising work with DLC to make it self-custodial with Oracles.

Too advanced for me because I don’t read RUST, but seems real. The 10100 people are doing it.

It is just something that can be redeemed for dollars to someone across the world. No different than what Circle, Tether, whatever does.

Either way, someone has to interact with the fiat system to switch out. Tether, Circle, make money doing that part. Why aren’t there their counterparts where they take derivatives Bitcoin (stablesats) from you and give you dollars? For a 0.5% fee or something.

Umbrel on Debian or Ubuntu. Best UX; but start9 is catching up quick.

If you want to learn; then go with option #3

Maybe I am dumb, but is it really that hard to set a Linux machine with Bitcoin core and multisig? What’s complicated about having your own infrastructure?

What is the blocker?
