It's worth noting: The system of Bitcoin is being imposed upon humanity, through humanity's selections of the best options perceived at the time relative to human need. Humans need the best money, or they can die. Therefore, Amazon, Apple, Google, the UK, North Korea, Venezuela, and all companies and countries of the Earth, from the wealthiest to the most broke, will choose to use Bitcoin. And this process will add tremendous freedom to virtually everyone, including those you might hate. And no amount of human or evil coercion and fear can stop it. Because of this, no matter how dark some sections of the world look, you have real reason to hope. Since the light of the truth of Bitcoin is virtually everywhere on Earth. Because the light of the truth of Bitcoin is born of God. You want to know what is backing Bitcoin? God is backing Bitcoin. And no one can assassinate God. -- 주목할 만한 점은 다음과 같다: 비트코인의 체계는 인류의 필요에 비추어 당시 인류가 인식한 최선의 선택지들을 통해, 인류에게 강제적으로 부과되고 있다. 인간은 최선의 화폐를 필요로 한다. 그렇지 않으면 그들은 멸망할 수 있다. 따라서 아마존, 애플, 구글, 영국, 북한, 베네수엘라, 그리고 지구상의 모든 기업과 국가들—가장 부유한 자부터 가장 파산 직전의 자에 이르기까지—은 비트코인을 사용하기로 선택할 것이다. 이 과정은 당신이 미워할지도 모르는 이들을 포함하여 거의 모든 이들에게 엄청난 자유를 부여할 것이다. 그리고 인간의 강제나 악의적 공포, 그 어떤 양의 그것도 이를 저지할 수 없다. 이 때문에, 세상의 일부 구역이 아무리 어두워 보이더라도, 당신에게는 진정한 희망의 근거가 있다. 비트코인의 진리의 빛이 지구상의 거의 모든 곳에 스며들어 있기 때문이다. 비트코인의 진리의 빛은 신으로부터 태어났기 때문이다. 비트코인을 뒷받침하는 것이 무엇인지 알고 싶은가? 신이 비트코인을 뒷받침한다. 그리고 누구도 신을 암살할 수 없다.

Progress, not perfection. It may be said that the path to peace is acceptance. View quoted note →

Having a nearly 1 month old son who notifies me/us anytime he has a need through emoting, reminds me that human needs are valid. I'm glad he emotes when he has one or more needs, because he is practicing his spiritual, psychological, physical, and social voice. His needs and voice are valid and good. Your spiritual, psychological, social, and physical needs are valid and good. Your voice is valid and good. Why? Because you were created by the heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, and He is Good, so you are good. -- 1. Genesis 1:26 (ESV): Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 2. Genesis 1:27 (ESV): So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 3. Isaiah 45:12 (ESV): I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host. 4. Psalm 139:13-14 (ESV): For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 5. Colossians 1:16 (ESV): For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

There is an infinity between 1 and 2.

I feel angry hearing this. It's not about not liking jpegs on Bitcoin's block chain. That seems like a red herring to me. It's about having decided and designed and proposed Bitcoin, the network, to be about trading, saving, and thinking in ecash. One single purpose alone. It reminds me of the Boyscouts. Boys needed support and leadership in America, and that was Boyscouts their singular focus for 109 years. It wasn't about being anti-female. It was about being pro boy, and their leadership and growth into high quality men. Accusing the Boyscouts of being anti-girl is like accusing Bitcoiners of being anti-jpegs. It's not about being anti those things. It's about serving a singular purpose extremely well, forever. When someone brings ad hominem attacks against Bitcoiners, it's a form of gas lighting designed to undermine Bitcoiners attention to one thing, having Bitcoin be a monetary network, alone.

Not only will evil not win, if you think about it, it can't win.

My son is swaddled and lying against my left leg, and has here and there, been chirping in his sleep. No place on the planet I'd rather be.

If someone says, "Critical thinking is the decentralization of the mind," it may be a good idea to follow them. @Trivium

Christianity is the culture of the book. Books outlast empires. Words themselves are eternal. It is the Word that created all things. And the Word that divides between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Intelligence is the ability to make finer distinctions. So wisdom is intelligence in application of the truth by the Word.

Here is a reply to everyone who would say there is no hope for humanity. Our hope doesn't lie in humanity itself. Our hope lies alone in the person of Jesus Christ, the light that shined in the darkness, and that the darkness and the hopelessness did not comprehend. John 1 (KJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Before I had a baby I was like, "Why do they swaddle babies?" Then I had a baby son. Now I'm like, "ohhhhhh, that's why they swaddle babies."

Since you can't be certain in many things, it's a good idea to proceed by principles. View quoted note →
