Discussing scaling, fees and security today. The discussion has turned more toward economics via sociology and psychology, incentives etc... Isn't it nice to know that the mechanics of the money have been basically solved and now we can work on society, culture.... ourselves instead of gaming a rigged money system to survive. Further that solution makes us think more clearly about other things. I can think about how I act and how we will and/or should. If you want to eliminate fruitless things that are in the way of flourishing, BTC can do that on the money front. The rest of the stuff isn't about BTC. It's about living a better life, maturing into what we were meant to be. We are building a better world!!

The 'Publishers Clearinghouse' scammers in India called my dad Friday. Dad didn't fall for it but, I put on my lil' ole' lady voice and for two days, 5 phone calls and a total of about 3 hours on the phone, I kept him frustrated and running in circles trying to 'help' me pay my taxes on the prize money with gift cards. He was not happy Saturday night when I cut him loose with my real voice. 🤣

Thinking @Guy Swann 's series on drive chains. The idea of trust entering the broader BTC monetary system means we should remember that every time we say 'trust' in this environment we mean 'a human'. When we add a human we add an entity that can be regulated and probably will be along with any solution they offered to the system. To the 'little guy' this seems inevitable. We are humans, we need to trust each other to some extent. Thus we need trustworthy humans to place our trust in. Sorry. But it seems inescapable unless you are a whale. #bitcoin #drivechains #bitcoinaudible #drivechain #sidechains

Having a get off my lawn kind of day. This always makes me smile on those days.

Seems I'm always late to the party but here I am!
