Okay, lets talk "scarcity". In the economic sense, scarcity ≠ supply. The supply (number of units) of a thing could be extremely low, but if there isn't *demand, then it isn't scarce. Theres only one of that bored ape NFT, but dont nobody give a fuck so it isn't scarce. Contrariwise, there could be a shit-ton of units but demand could also be insane, making the item extremely scarce. Or the inverse examples of course, high supply with low demand making the item not scarce, or low supply and high demand making it extremely scarce. So we cant look at supply only and there isn't a direct metric to measure "scarcity" afaict. Scarcity is the market interpretation of the relationship between supply and demand of a commodity. What does this have to do with Bitcoin maximalism and how they misunderstand basic economics? I'm glad you asked. If Bitcoin has low demand, the hard cap does nothing to guarantee economic scarcity. In the case of low demand, it is *not scarce* despite having fixed supply. Oppositely, the market could consider a Monero MORE scarce than Bitcoin if demand is increasing faster than the tail emission. #Bitcoin isn't automatically scarce because of fixed supply. #Monero isn't automatically non-scarce because of tail emission.

@Super Testnet is really worried you don't understand how the transaction fee you pay on a L1 affects the fungibility of your transaction. so i wrote some stuff. View quoted note →

Lol Somebody is FINALLY trying to use LN to obfuscate the trail of funds (fucking 8 years later 🙄) and now this asshole has to publicly masturbate about it. View quoted note →

For the record, I think people should not genocide each other.

whaaaaat View quoted note →

Given that genocide and infanticide have been normal human practices for millennia, our modern sensibilities and outrage dont seem to be very helpful to the public discourse around those topics. Maybe not a popular view. Anyway, GM. #normalizegenocide

So theres no #monero bros on nostr running the FCMP stressnet?? Lets send some testnet Monero around! I thought I was late to the party? #asknostr

UPDATE its "the exception *probes* the rule" If the sign says parking is permitted Sunday, you know parking is against the rule the rest of the week. I will be insufferable about this for the rest of my life View quoted note →

You know what I never understood? "The exception that proves the rule" how TF does an exception prove a rule? #asknostr

I dont get it. Why are we mad about maxis doing DNS? I wanna be mad too! View quoted note →

there isnt a way to finish the sentence "I am ______” in a way that is always true. all we can really say is "I am" after that, everything is arbitrary best guess

Does anyone know what a @Rizful.com "vault" is? Apparently they're not letting people set up and manage actual LN nodes ATM. so a "vault" is some abstraction that shares a channel among a bunch of folks for a .1% sending fee?

Anybody else running FCMP++ beta stressnet? Lets send some Carrot back and forth!

if "dont trust, verify" is going to be an axiomatic rule for living, seems to me we should start with the basics. So have we verified there's some persistent "self"? most people seem to just assume it exists, i guess because theres a body walking around? But the body gets sick and dies randomly, you cant prevent it. the simple fact you can observe the arc of its life demonstrates that the body isnt "myself". who is it that knows the body? all i can find is maybe some general tendancies and ideas that change slower than all the random thoughts and feelings. nothing thats particularly consistent or lasting. #asknostr View quoted note →
