If you sacrifice your daughter you are obviously failing. It doesn't matter how "right" you are.

It would be nice to tell the source:

You don't seem to realize that in order for him to do that, everybody would be forced to register, including you.

What was done in relation to covid, including the release of the virus itself, the lockdowns, curfews, movement restrictions, the pcr tests, the masks, the injections and everything else was a series of crimes against humanity. It affected me personally greatly and so did it affect many other people, and so far there has been no acknowledgement of the damage and no reparations. They knew perfectly what they were doing and yet they did it because they could; they weren't just being cautious. It's like claiming that Hitler was just trying to protect and help the German people, oh, the poor guy.

The current attacks on individual liberty are horrible. Without individuals, there cannot be family nor society.

I do not accept judgement from those in power on how I am doing my part in leaving the world (planet and society) in a reasonable condition for future generations, in part because I believe those doing the judging are doing a very poor job themselves. I don't claim to be perfect, but I am the underdog, and they are the ones in power.

I don't know what the "short term economic imperative" means, but it looks like the people in power need to keep destroying the planet and the society to stay in power, while they put on the sheep costume and pretend they "care" about the planet. Bitcoin will shift that in due course, but it requires a huge shift in people. It's happening very slowly, but it's happening.

Thank you.

I see the same pattern as with the covid "pandemic":
"If absolutely everybody without exception is not on board with our agenda, we are all in danger."

I do, or so I think. But you don't get to always determine the externalities (whether CO2 is actually an externality).

We know that the ultimate power lays in shaping the narrative.

Yes, for now your ilk seems to be having the upper hand in this debate, but that will change.

You don't answer the questions that matter:

• What does it mean to you to "take climate change seriously"?
• What is "climate change"?

So mining helps in solving the pollution problem from power generation.

What does it mean to you to "take climate change seriously"?

To me, it means having dinners with your buddies while you congratulate each other for "taking climate change seriously" and doing this whole posturing thing for the end purpose of accumulating more power at the expense of individual liberty.

I do take the pollution problem seriously. It is in my interest to breathe clean air, and I know that if there is too much pollution our survival is in danger. But, wtf does "climate change" even mean? Stop hijacking language for your benefit.

Look at the bottom right corner of the picture.

I hope so. We already have enough quantum FUD. It's an attempt to insert weak cryptography and huge transactions into Bitcoin for an inexistent threat.

Thus spoke the CEO of Bitcoin.

Thanks for the reply.

What I envision is that I would not just trust a "random" driver, but that this will work with a web-of-trust system. For example, in the Bitcoin Jungle there is already a mass of drivers and riders that use bitcoin. Riders could share feedback about good drivers which could be an indicator of trust. You could trust the feedback coming from people in your web-of-trust (i.e., follows of your follows or you can compute a trust score from your point of view in the network akin to the PageRank algorithm).

This has to be bootstrapped in each particular city/area with members of the community signaling already trusted drivers. It can happen at the local bitcoin meetup, for instance.

Can you explain what do you mean with honeypot?

I definitely would like it (or something similar) to work. The commercial ridesharing platforms take a huge cut and they are starting to demand ID and selfie from passengers. I think that's too bad and dangerous.

Financialization

Now we have:

• Saylor
• ETFs
• This obsession with borrowing fiat against bitcoin.

We need less of those and more circular economy. Just hold bitcoin and use it as MoE rather than letting third parties treasure it.

And the blockchain is being used to store graffiti because the bitcoin community has stopped caring about the movement and just trust the church (Core). Client monoculture is the elephant in the room we don't want to talk about.

Interesting the timing of this "apology". Interesting also how the 'democratic' and 'free' countries that claim to respect human rights 'apologize' for past atrocities while ignoring the present ones.

Thanks for replying. Of course the state wants to slow down adoption for as long as they can and they use all tricks at their disposal. It's what I see as a defeatist tone that I don't like; I get similar vibes from Whitney Webb, as an example.

What if the ultimate psyop are these defeatist conspiracy theories, trying to make us believe that bitcoin cannot win, that the state always wins and that we are doomed to live in slavery forever.

I really hope that this kind of moronic ideas don't proliferate after fiat dies. This is why we have to stop using fiat now.

Look at the fake "Bitchat Plus" on iOS on the right. And they say that the app stores protect people from scams.
