I like the language of how segwit and taproot were soft forks that “tightened” the rules, but simultaneously blew open exploits for spam.

Many such cases. He falls into the money is a “shared illusion” error and looks at it from a historical “capitalist exploitation” lens. Fails to see money as a critical technology, whose properties determine how well it solves the Double Coincidence of Wants, MoE, SoV, etc etc. Classic missteps. View quoted note →

Big zaps are warranted if you can prove those two claims. And if you did, it’d truly be a great benefit to everyone. View quoted note →

Claims Ocean is an attack on Bitcoin, refuses to elaborate, leaves. Claims BIP110 gives control to Luke and Mechanic, refuses to elaborate, leaves. Still waiting on explanations for these two, which I’d sincerely like to hear. If they’re legitimately true, it’d be extremely useful for everyone to hear, but you have to actually provide justification instead of squid inking away after making the claims. View quoted note →

At least Mechanic is humble enough to admit that Taproot and his support for it were mistakes. I don’t see any spam apologists who’ve admitted the same, but I’d like to. I sincerely like hearing your arguments, especially for the claims for which you’ve yet to even provide any justification, but if you don’t eat the Taproot humble pie first, I have to assume you’re either a bad actor or just not thinking clearly.

I’d go long on Massie Yes for president or nomination at these values, but there isn’t enough liquidity on Predyx. KYC and dollar-denominated positions on big markets aren’t worth it. Then if he won the nomination and it looked like he might win, I’d sell the Yes position and put it all on No, because they would have to kill him. And by they I mean Israel.

Anyone have a plain language explainer of how this works and what it’s good for? #asknostr View quoted note →

Goys get open borders, then overrun and replaced by migrants. While the chosen people get a closed border ethnostate that can never be questioned or copied because if you do, you’ll be ostracized from society as a hateful bigot.

Is anyone on Nostr selling beef jerky?
