The correct term is “googled on Bing”
>bewilderingly naive I am guessing none of your friends or family have been a victim of aggression directed by the Pentagon?
You’re probably right about this issue. BTC is a bearer asset and is inherently difficult to store right- someone has to know the private key, and that someone could always irreversibly steal the funds (hopefully it’s…
There’s a very small number of mining pools that control Bitcoin. All the USA has to do to force a hard fork is order them to run alternative mining software.
> bond-buying and tax-paying are the exact same thing, real consumption forgone by current workers No. US Treasuries are one of the most liquid and easy to borrow against assets in the world. When institutions buy…
It was smaller than that, some kind of bridge toll, then got multiplied by late payment up to that number
I’ve received so many of these scam calls from fake authorities that I used to just hang up (now I don’t answer calls ever). One time I didn’t hang up because something felt weird. Turned out it was legit and I owed a…
Worth considering in light of Vitalik’s recent essay “Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again” which addresses how blockchains lost their original cypherpunk roots to financialization and the accompanying statist interventions.…
International cards usually work.
Just keep in mind that the financial system is very locked down in South Korea. Foreigners have very limited access to Korean bank accounts while crypto exchange accounts are completely banned even for permanent…

The allied powers exercised total media control in Germany and Japan. This strategy is no longer possible due to social media.
The problem with 3 is global radicalization. Attempts to suppress populations can only work with the ability to convince the population to take your side; in the case of large scale bombing campaigns, the result is more…
What’s your bank? I’d like an account there. Every one I’ve checked so far freezes accounts and has a painful process for international wire transfers.
Personally, the ability to always have access to my money, accept contracts internationally, and to be protected from a fickle financial system. For other people I’ve seen a wide variety of things they consider valuable…
Crypto is not zero sum since new value is created.
Acceptance of warrantless searches. To enable greater power and wealth for the political classes.
I’m so disgusted by the people who support these violations of rights. Even if someone isn’t a us citizen, they are still a human and should be treated as such
Just because an object can possess a property does not mean it necessarily has the property. Regarding Bitcoin, it does not necessarily require a regulated market (proof: existence of Bisq). Same holds for private…
Crypto exchanges are trading digital assets, not equities. Public markets need state intervention because the application of force is required. The point regarding democracy is that you cannot call a 25 person tribe a…
Why don’t Bitcoin maxis prefer Monero? It seems you get better decentralization plus a more private digital gold and something that’s much more similar to p2p cash than Bitcoin, without needing a proof of stake chain.
Bitcoin is more centralized than some proof of stake chains. Just 3-5 pools control almost all of the hashrate. Many popular proof of stake chains have 20-50 validators, and some have thousands. Proof of stake is proven…
Public markets are equity markets that any member of the public can participate in. They cannot exist without regulation due to the owner/agent problem. It’s not just a theoretical problem; daos that have tried to have…
States are parasocial, not social. It might feel like state officials are your friends, the president is like a father, and your representative is like a respected community leader you’ve known your whole life. But…
The article is textbook burnout, including the denials and “friends have it worse”. People need to take care of themselves and their families first, then worry about the rest of the world.
