What will happen when an expansive money like $USD gets crammed into a finite money like #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin has made me see wrongs in the world that I hadn't been previously aware of. The functional virtues of #Bitcoin highlight the flaws of manipulated monies, and lead me to increasingly wonder about the nature of the manipulators. So goodness increases awareness of badness. #Plebchain

I know what #Bitcoin is. The fiat monies that surround it try to project their problems onto it, but #Bitcon just eats them and says thank you. #Plebchain

Accurate data has utility. Honesty is a virtue. Reality matters. Knowing what is true - and what is not - it's important. #Bitcoin doesn't lie. #Plebchain

There is risk in the banking system: "The Federal Reserve is a trusted party in all three senses of maker, man-ager, and mediator - it is the monetary trinity. The Fed makes the dollar. The Fed manages the funds of other banks. And the Fed ultimately serves as the central mediator for digital dollar transactions through services like Fed Wire. In sum, managers offer convenience and peace of mind. Mediators maintain financial plumbing. And makers enable economic stability and exchange through a common medium. Users of modern money trust these parties to do their jobs well. This is a tradeoff and involves risk. As cypher-punk Nick Szabo says, trusted parties are "security holes." Managers sometimes fail, leaving their customers with pennies on the dollar. Mediators sometimes block lawful commerce. Makers also make mistakes. They might print too much money and, as inflation soars, put on the brakes too late. Then they might slam the brakes too hard and, as a recession looms, keep the brakes on for too long. Sometimes makers know which levels they'll pull and, as private citizens, execute a series of, let's say, well-timed trades in the stock market. This is insider trading, not with company stock, but with what company stocks trade against - a national currency. As a group, these trusted parties can and sometimes do imperil our financial privacy, our funds, our freedom to use them as we'd like, and their value. Some will judge that the benefits of trusted parties outweigh the risk. They might be right. It might also be true that we would benefit from having options without one or more of these trusted parties so that participating in the economy doesn't force us into a single set of tradeoffs." - Resistance Money #Bitcoin #Plebchain

To increase #Bitcoin adoption... ....the Bitcoin CEO should have Bitcoin's marketing department try using more squiggles and curly script fonts and a Spirograph and a stampy seal and someone's official serious-looking portrait photo and an official certificate number and an appeal to authority or two or three and some nice marble statue or monument or building with columns that looks classic and historical and a has big "5 FIVE" on it or something that refers to no specific or consistent amount of value in particular. #Bitcoin #Plebchain

“Bitcoin was designed to be protected from the influence of charismatic leaders, even if their name is Gavin Andresen, Barack Obama, or Satoshi Nakamoto.” Excerpt from: "The Blocksize War: The battle for control over Bitcoin’s protocol rules" by Jonathan Bier #Bitcoin #Plebchain

@AQUA Wallet I'm curious about why Aqua Wallet cannot send to a [Lightning invoice which has no amount] ? Does it have something to do with how Aqua's "Lightning-over-Liquid" system operates?
