I have not made up my mind, private voting allows one to overcome peer pressure more easily. Public voting enables leading by example, and it may force the voter to take a more considered position before voting. Public voting could lead to mob mentality.

What to make of fractional reserve banking? My original take was that it stimulates and accelerates progress. Now I'm not so sure. Is it all bad? Perhaps some reasonable threshold is optimal? 80%, 50%? Or is 100% reserve the only sound option? I suppose self custody of Bitcoin is 100% reserve and taking a collateralized loan on your Bitcoin is fractional reserve banking.

I am skeptical that it is effective because I don't see govt action against wasabi wallet in the same way that tornado cash and samurai wallet creators have been persecuted. Can someone share some knowledge? How to improve my privacy situation? Also what's the status on regulated exchanges accepting non KYC coin if I need fiat? Is this an issue?

@nprofile…8sjr , I signed up for strike today. Mostly because of the no fee DCA and no fee to withdraw to self custody. Awesome. Pretty disappointed with the UI though. What's the point of this graph? No units or ticks on either Axis. No ability to plot on a log axis. I'm a believer in the BTC power law fits. Would be helpful to see when price is above or below trend line. Do better please.

I am somewhat ignorant in the core/knots debate. My understanding is the core v30 allows jpegs to be added to the block chain. Thus if someone uploads child porn to the block chain, everyone running a full node will have that on their machine, and thus become a target for prosecution in many jurisdictions. Knots prevents jpegs from fitting on the block chain. Do I have that right?

Govt distortion of money has led to excess in some sectors ( over investment) and atrophy in others. We 've seen this before with the failure of the Soviet Union. Central planning does not allocate resources as efficiently as free markets. As I search for a new job, it's clear that the pay is far better in defence. I don't want to make systems designed to kill. I need to support my family. How to uphold my values and earn enough to support our lifestyle? Yes, Bitcoin is the answer. Why doesn't anyone else see it?

As a father and primary bread winner, I feel the burden of providing for my family. It used to be easy, the destabilizing economy has made it hard.

I just hope it will be enough to carry us through the coming hard times.

2025-09-14 11:08:39 UTC

The traditional system of negotiating a salary and locking in that pay regardless of value created is so primitive. Saw my company fire a guy once because he couldn't fulfill the job requirements. Then he lost visa sponsorship. That's doesn't mean he provided no value. If there was a way to reduce his pay to be commensurate with the value he provided, that would have been far more civilized. Same goes for top performers. Putting in the extra mile is disincentivized because you get no reward for the extra effort. V4v addresses this, but how to apply it to something like industrialized manufacturing?

So dollars are the global reserve currency. The US can and does print dollars at will to fund is government. Therefore the US taxbase is the percent of the global economy that is using dollars. This blew my mind.

Bitcoin doesn't change the time value of money, it strictly adhears to it. If you are hungry, 10000 sats is worth more to you today than 10000 sats 3 years in the future. You would be willing to payback a loan today with interest over some time period to have your needs met. Artificially suppressing interest rates as the federal reserve has done is part of the problem. They have broken the natural relationship between time and money.
