this is what your profile says: Researching and programming decentralised finance. The code is the law. #defi #solidity #python #vyper #opensource #infosec. Gibraltar

why does website says this: Login with your Phantom or MetaMask wallet directly into the app

MetaMask is ethereum non-sense

how's it decentralized if 70% of eth nodes are hosted and their software keeps hard forking(backward incompatible)

you're just relying more middle-man but giving false sense of p2p network to the end-user

no bueno

fyi before downvoting: this article's author works at bitcoin.com which is run by Bitcoin-cash people, it was an attack on Bitcoin that failed

drink the kool-aid , rather than trying the software itself.

good luck

how so?

also it doesn't impact Bitcoin, you can self-custody most of your wealth. Put what's needed to transact on lightning (checking account)

whoisninja··on Bitcoin is not decentralized [video]
just curious, have you heard of lightning network ? try things out, try breez wallet. you can pay with lightning at McDonalds, Starbucks in El Salvador

rest of your claims about blockchain, privacy etc - are correct

the "Crypto" and "web3" is all scams

whoisninja··on You Don't Own Web3
it's also a 70% premine token (exactly a security) just that they did it under a Swiss based foundation so SEC can't touch them "yet"
whoisninja··on You Don't Own Web3
yes absolutely,

these VCs have scams like Ethereum which they claim to be p2p networks but all the people making money of this don't even know where the peers are on this p2p network.

The validation nodes run on handful of hosted nodes on a software(ethereum) that changes it's source code and make it backward incompatible all the time, making it centralized at both who develop that code AND the handful of nodes that run it.

a16z has no shame perpetuating these total scams.

whoisninja··on Crypto Theses for 2022 [pdf]
where is the code being executed ? hosted nodes or real peers in a "p2p" network?

why does it hard fork so much and make prior clients incompatible? why do they have a monetary policy? isn't that what fiat currency is?

whoisninja··on Crypto Theses for 2022 [pdf]
exactly
whoisninja··on Crypto Theses for 2022 [pdf]
Bitcoin is decentralized, 13,000 nodes - mostly residiential nodes, not hosted.

You're assuming too much.

whoisninja··on Crypto Theses for 2022 [pdf]
Touche lol
whoisninja··on Crypto Theses for 2022 [pdf]
even your L1 is 70% hosted nodes , why not just run an api on a trusted company's servers that verifies your balances using pub/priv keys and signatures

you guys are up for rude awakening when this rube goldberg machine bricks

whoisninja··on El Salvador makes Bitcoin legal tender
living in a priviliged bubble, can't even open a website to check Bitcoin fees and what lightning network is. why strike is #1 app in their country.

main chain fees is $1 right now, and lightning tx are almost free: https://mempool.space/

whoisninja··on El Salvador makes Bitcoin legal tender
correct, just search El Zonte or Bitcoin Beach, tons of videos on youtube on how they're using lightning network in fully circular economy since entire town has been unbanked

it's pretty fantastic people! naysayers should plan to visit El Zonte, beautiful surfing community.

I plan to visit later this year and have friends who work with Strike team etc.

The future is looking optimistic!
