I think you will find many global corps are actually multinational and have presence and thus effected by braindead laws coming out of the EU. We live on a shared internet plane, we cannot let EU do stupid things that break the internet. You may wish to look at restrictive internet legislation by countries is an attack on the world. It’s not US corp vs EU politicians. It’s EU politicians against earth internet users.

Cool. I trust the engineers at Mozilla far more than the politicians in EU.

You can’t mandate or legislate security from the parliament. It takes hard work, skill, education, experience, luck and visibility.

In my world, the law is just someone’s opinion. Security deals with systems, math, information, physics. I want the EU far far away from my root CA store pls.

Maybe they realize that being a landlord is an economically and societally destructive measure that saps productive capital from working and middle class. It’s vampiric. And awful.

I’m glad you enjoy Florida or Texas. Don’t get anyone pregnant accidentally cos you know why…

That good quality proofed print journalism is rare, and the New Yorker produces quality content. I would agree and liked their message.

Arbitrary Code Execution? In my vanilla doom? It’s more likely than you think.

That next map you deathmatch on could be your last!

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

It’s song lyrics to Rock Lobster by the B52s

Magical thinking. You are dangerously misinformed on the medicine side and overloaded with medieval fantasy.

Those of us that actually live in the 21st century just look at your belief structure as naive — however we are now in a different phase where your ignorance is causing real harm. I read today that Drs are too scared to prescribe potentially life saving but potentially teratogenic medicine in forced-birth states due to miscarriage risk. Absolutely unacceptable! Get your medieval bullshit out of our modern world.

You keep using that word “inconvenience”. It is a shibboleth.

I support the rights of the undead myself. Vampire and Zombie rights are more important.

If providing health care to women is despicable, I don’t want to be anything but despicable.

You have been lied to your entire life and have some broken ideas about how health care and medical treatments work.

How about we leave it to the Drs and not make it difficult for things that are none of your damn business?

That is a decision only you can make for yourself. Some people collect plates and spoons. Some Collect stamps. Others like unusual coins. Me, I’m all about the sats.

Now. It was always an open food project and spawned many other unregulated powered food makers. Some of these are regulated today. I was into it years ago in the food hacking days and also when I was vegan.

I want a world where I can buy weird powered food from hackers without the man regulating it’s contents.

I don’t own a car, and I don’t leave things out in public that can be stolen by removing bolts. That’s how unregulated markets work.

The market would respond to the existence of the extra coins, inflating them to zero.

Those with long LP positions in pools with exposure will take a large loss.

No bail out, some win, some lose.

Yes. And this is precisely it’s benefit. This is by design. Safe guards are artificial, and ultimately distort markets. Extremely volatility is present right now, because this asset class is so new and poorly understood.

Some of us want to play with the safety off. Life is a dark forest. We pretend it isn’t with “safeguards” but they only mask its true nature.

It’s not bullshit comment, and the fact you are still saying this means you don’t get it! How you can be so deep in the shitcoin game and still not understand is troubling to me for a man of such intelligence.

I am not super pro guns, but I am super pro encryption. There are parallels. We are all safer if we encrypt our traffic and data at rest. Safer when we use end-to-end messaging schemes.

I don’t know if I agree about accountability balance — accountable to whom?? It is better if everyone is equally blind. Technology that takes power from the powerful is our weapon. You don’t need accountability if there is nobody to be accountable to.

Hang out with more punks and goths, who trend more monochromatic. :-)

Uh, it’s me. Of course I’m running my own node and managing my own channels!! BTCPay is sweet man, check it out.

Ride the Lightning is a nice webui for LN

It’s the dilemma of cryptography, in that you cannot have a secure system that doesn’t also allow bad guys to use it too. The only victim of weakening a system to fight bad guys are the good guys, as the bad guys will just use the original secure version of the protocol, etc.

My point is that eventually the major cryptocurrencies will have some fungibility enhancement mechanisms to deal with the practical limitations of taint and chain analysis. Tornado cash, Coinjoin, MW, etc. Its not about normalization of crime. It’s the default ignorant status quo.

“What it instead of normalizing privacy, you just don’t have privacy.”

The problem is one of pragmatism. All money is dirty. All great fortunes are founded on exploitation.

Every dollar in your pocket has been used for crime many times. The system works because we choose to ignore this. If we could programmatically enforce rules, the system would be fail in a day.

So it’s not about money laundering, it’s about achieving some kind of pragmatic equivalence, while permitting the system to continue to function.

Yeah, it rocks!! Love Lightning. I send sats to friends and family who can exchange them for goods and services in their local currencies. It’s almost instant and very low or zero fees.

I recommend checking out BTCPay server, it is a full BTC node, LN node and payment invoicing system. Integrated into e-commerce platforms and apps.

It would be deeply unpopular as it could only be funded by austerity at home, and it would be very short.

I believe Bitcoin standard world is post war. It is uneconomical, and that hits the people very hard very quickly. No home propaganda could convince the people it was just…

No, not at all. Bcash isn’t Bitcoin. BSV isn’t Bitcoin. Eth classic is Ether. Existence of forks has zero impact on digital scarcity.

History has repeated shown us that printing money in a crisis just makes it worse, eventually. Taking that away is hard, but honesty is the best policy, even if it hurts at first.

The reason we ditched the gold standard was for deviance. It’s very hard to fight wars if you can’t print the money. Ww1 ww2 Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq … try that on gold. Bitcoin = End of all war.

If historically your government has breached the trust of its people from careless money printing local currency, using a major world currency as your money is something to keep you honest.

Bitcoin is like this for all governments and currencies. It is honest true hard money that cannot be devalued by the money printers. It’s the hard money of last resort and you bet this will be more and more important as we lose trust for each other’s currency.

It’s why it’s so important to taint and mix the history of all coins. Given enough time, eventually all UTXOs are tainted, thus nothing is tainted. Most of the supply of BTC can be linked to SR taint from early 2010s. Doesn’t matter now.

Litecoin just introduced a sidechain called (mimblewimble extension blocks) MWEB, it permits “cut-through” transactions where UTXOs can mix. It looks like a single UTXO on the main chain. Very Fungible!

Calling people by their preferred pronouns isn’t politics, it’s not being an asshole.
