No, thanks. The nodes ensure blockchain integrity.

But do they really have to, or do they want to, so they can stack more?

Girls like fiat, women like Bitcoin.

Distrust is good when it comes to money. Because some people have a lot of wealth. If everybody were poor, it wouldn't be as important.

If the kebab price cap gets introduced, kebab trade will have to move to the dark web.

What corruption? It's a private organization, not the government.

As it becomes adopted as of a SoV, its market cap will grow, making it easier to send larger monetary value, and making it more liquid and less volatile, which will help the MoE and UoA use cases.

Maybe he should get his ass cleaned up and fixed instead. At least it's his, so he wouldn't be infringing.

How would that work? You'd need a domain, which would link to your IP address, no?

It's smaller than my backyard. The moment they start doing anything of significance they'll be nuked.

If it's Bitcoin-friendly, it won't have healthy diplomatic relations with the USSA.

Same here. On a ZX Spectrum. Around the age of 10. It was the first programming language I learned.

I thought it went to a 2-of-2 multisig? With some hashed timelock magic I'm not well versed in.

The traditional concept of ownership probably doesn't map onto the new reality created by Bitcoin. The state trash may need an upgrade.

By that logic, anyone who didn't buy bitcoin and sell it caused a loss to the IRS.

That would move a large portion of the economy to the gray zone. No compliance, no taxes, no nonsense. But also no legal protection.

Of course not everything can move there. You can't buy a house or a car outside of the purview of the state, as those things need to be registered with the thugs.

Bitcoin would split into clean and dirty UTXOs. Dirty bitcoin would be cheaper as clean bitcoin can be used in the gray economy, but dirty bitcoin costs sats to clean and make it spendable in the compliant economy.

I tried LN deposits on Binance some time ago and it worked. Then I wanted to use it again and the option wasn't available.

Why do people use Coinbase when Kraken is so much cheaper? Is it their marketing?

They missed the "then suddenly" stage.
