nostr insulation protocol?

If my math maths (that's a big if), one of those would mine 700 sats per day, closer to 600 after the next adjustment in a few blocks.

Sound money ultimately requires sound public finances.

Seems backward to me. Sound money ultimately enforces sound public finances.

Or at the very least, sound money gives unsound public finances much less of a runway to cause generational damage.

Our model shows that a significant share of those who give up on homeownership end up working fewer hours and contributing less in income taxes, shifting the fiscal burden onto others and reducing the economy’s overall productive capacity.

What a toxic way to paint that picture. As if the fiscal burden is non-negotiable and the only way to respond is to work longer hours so the state can take more.

Are there no plans to safely rehome the native graffiti before any further work is done to destroy their natural habitat? How dare they!

Have glue, will travel.

Yes, and cars are bullshit because some drivers may drive to places to commit crimes or hate speech. Or both.

And don't even get me started on what level of pure bullshit oxygen is.

The constant infighting unnecessarily harms Bitcoin's adoption.

I don't think complaining over the infighting helps adoption in any way, either.
Both sides are acting like idiots. From what I saw last time I looked, not only like idiots but hysterical ones to boot. Whenever I gave them any attention, they already won. And I lost some brain cells in the process.

I have self-custody, I educate on Bitcoin when people ask politely when they are curious... I have a small miner at home and have tried out Lightning using different wallets in different countries successfully.

There is nothing more I can do. There just aren't "enough" of us Stackers.

That's very commendable and I find that a much better read.

I'm just at a loss trying to understand what you expect complaining about empty blocks will actually achieve. Shame others into spending?

I enjoy a more positive approach where I can see how others actually spend their sats, like in your linked post. Which challenges they have, and how they get around them.
That type of content is useful for my own playbook. Some of my challenges may rhyme with yours.

Having said all that, others may react positively to lamentations, kicking them into action. I'm only having a hard time seeing it actually work out that way.
I reserve the right to having been proven wrong.

Either we use Bitcoin, and encourage others to use it... or it eventually dies.

Show the world how you use it. What it actually looks like.

Meanwhile the Core/Knots drama, absolutely tone-deaf to the real adoption issues facing Bitcoin (no Core V30 is NOT the reason fees are anemic) does nothing for education.

Yet in your own post you dedicate a considerable part of it showering the drama queens with attention.

Take the lecturing tone down a notch, start living the way you think helps the cause, and then show it so those on the fence can gain confidence.

the other desperate eu govs will be getting ideas if it works

Nary an EU politician has been deterred by something not having worked.

Just wait til he throws a Markov chain at you.

so gullible but loud people on twitter can finally shut up.

Nah, they'll keep fretting over satoshi's coins.

Also, people on Twitter aren't there to shut up. Gullible or not. The circus will find a way to keep going.

Agreed. But then again, the opposing side also turned their stance surprisingly quickly into a hill-to-die-on mode.

Vocal parties on either side acted like monumental dickheads (still are? Haven't been following the soap opera in a while.)
And I don't care who was the first dickhead.

To correct for this, companies need to adopt an “AI practice,”

Ah, it wouldn't be corpo-land if there wasn't a call for a set of guidelines, and maybe some annually mandatory training.

'lo and behold a German unexpectedly won a ski jumping gold medal.

He had never won individually on the World Cup circuit, but now the ski jumper who is afraid of heights is an Olympic gold medalist. Amazing.

I haven't yet established if he's afraid of needles or not.

I dunno.
I still think the bitcoin-eating-swimming-pools narrative was the peak.

Based on thin air and guns.
Sounds like the textbook definition of "by decree."

I can't get over the "right" way being the left one in the image.
I know. Weird hang-up.

I got a fever and the only prescription is more emojis.

Pretty sure it's considered fine as long as it's carbon neutral?

Bild often reads like the Onion, but somehow, surprisingly often tells the truth.

Not cool to make fun of the man who invented the internet. Just sayin'.
