Ça fait 1 semaine que les feux ne marchent pas à invalides faisant de la vie de milliers de personnes un enfer Putain de pays du tiers monde

Peter Todd is undoubtedly very technically able It is really weird though he calls for the killings of all Iranians, Russians, etc all the time i don’t especially fancy Russians or Iranians but it is weird to want to kill them all as if it was something as casual and enjoyable as having ice cream View quoted note →

The next catalyst would be a “normal” big company deciding to allocate 10 pct of cash to Bitcoin Dell I think would be the most likely

Bitcoiners often care a lot about health, poisonous food etc In that regard, the situation in the U.S. is probably 10x worse than in Europe — one of the rare topics where that’s the case — due to weaker or more corrupt regulation. And most Bitcoiners are also strongly opposed to overreaching regulation. We focus a lot on violence by the state and sometimes forget the violence of scammers and businesses, the fact that capitalism is amoral: if you can make a consumer addict, you do. Most businesses seem to apply this today, more so than in the past. Maybe it should solve itself through Darwinism — people who don’t pay attention, or parents who don’t care, end up dying or not reproducing. Maybe that’s the only way, since all others are too coercive or too risky. But information and culture are probably also keys. A relatively good state is one that wants to be as small as possible but also encourages citizens to be conservatives (in the sense that something proven by times is safer) paranoid, skeptical of everything, including itself - exactly the contrary of what states do today

In a period of intense technological progress, soft money allows power to decide who benefits and who does not

We can’t change the unit bitcoin We should drop, ignore it though Talk only sats and ideally hundred sats should have a name cause it is easier to manipulate and thus spend

I think it’s true, we can’t rename bitcoin the unit We should drop bitcoin the unit for all payments apps, etc Use bits and sats. Bits are useful as they are better unit of account than bitcoin (terrible, you can’t count for everyday things with it) and sats (not great as people don’t like too small units, too big numbers for everyday things) Bits are better now and will still be if bitcoin x100 Sats are useful as they grew organically, are the smaller units and will be like the cents are to the dollar to the bits We don’t need bitcoin the unit, it will be just 1mio bits View quoted note →

Keep bits, keep sats, drop bitcoin the unit it is useless People who use bitcoin as payments count in sats Counting in bits would be easier. Let’s keep the sats as it grew organically, is the smallest unit, and we will need cents in the end Payments apps etc should drop bitcoin the unit and propose bits and sats as defaults View quoted note →

Payments apps should use bits and sats bitcoin the unit is useless for wallets, payment apps etc. It is impossible to count with Let’s use bits and sats as unit of accounts : both are useful Let’s drop bitcoin the unit, it is useless Probably it will happen anyway, slowly, nobody will use it, it will be just 1 mio bits View quoted note →

Let’s get rid of bitcoin as a unit Let’s keep the word for the network bits & sats ; 1 bit = 100 sats Simple, bit is the easiest as unit of account, now and in 20 years as well, sats is kept as grew organically, nice, and we will need cents at some point We don’t need bitcoin the unit, it is just 1 mio bits and we can count with bits for small as big transactions View quoted note →
