Idk if users should pay. I think there is some kind of problem and it sounds like a thing where payments could align the incentives. But idk how.
Everyone is free to choose in which asset class to hold their wealth. But you're not free in choosing to get taxed. So I would choose inflation because I can just hold my money outside of the inflating fiat currency.
War time policy really has a tendency to stay permanent.
German special taxes on sparkly wines to pay for the emperors navy. It's been a century, why do I pay Schaumweinsteuer? Because it never was only a temporary deal.
War bonds are voluntary. "Be a patriot" is psychological pressure. The real "last resort" is what comes after that: forced draft, forced taxes - in extreme cases fake unwithdrawable currency like in the 3rd reich. It can get worse.
- You're only here to take and not give back?
- Hope it at least stays in the wider Lightning ecosystem
- Daily is unnecessary. If you really have to, at least scale it down to monthly transactions
"Brics" doesn't exist. It's just China and an appendix. (The appendix being India and irrelevant countroes that hate each other). You're right that they're getting richer tho, just like all emerging markets economies.
The biggest benefactors from the trade war are certainly the countries that take advantage of middle men positions. Pakistan, India, China.
In the end, all restrictions of free trade harm everybody
I remember visiting Romania & Hungary in the mid 2000s. Clay walls, outhouse toilets, chickens walking through living rooms, stamped-dirt roads and lots of trash. It only gets worse the further east you go: Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia.
I think some people just simp for Russia because it's provocative. That's a dumb reason. Not saying everything in Russia is bad - they certainly have a beautiful culture with operas, literature, classical music and breathtaking landscapes. Their economy or suppression of freedom of speech aren't to envy tho.
I do know what to make of this:
It's overly pessimistic and too much doom and gloom. It already begins in the premise:
Israel cannot survive unless Iran is destroyed now. There’s basically no scenario where the tit for tat won’t escalate into an unending front of [...]
That's an oversimplified assessment. Of course any analysis that takes catastrophe as a premise has doomerism as the extrapolation.
I could pick this text apart quote by quote now and maybe I should. But long story short it's full of these oversimplified then->then->then chains that take the worst possible chain of events as the most likely without any evidence/arguments whatsoever.
Bug bounties should encourage and incentivize. Not paying because of something secret is baaad practice.
I would have guessed easter europe to lead here
... And Czechia, the place where beer-europe, wine-europe and booze-europe overlap, to be the highest lol
The answer to your question is that this is the property that Bitcoin WILL have but doesn't completely reached yet.
It's hard for people here who spend at least the last 5 years to imagine that. But we're still early.
Posts like these go viral here every now and then. I would like to see some posts about people onboarding to Lightning to balance it out every now and then maybe.
Unpopular opinion but this is another consequence of having only one major implementation. But it's not too late to change that.
Luckily we made a better decision when implementing Lightning specifications.
