We didn't solve the UX of lightning. And even if we did, there's the limited distribution of Bitcoin. Not enough people own bitcoin to use it meaningfully.
The other big one is stability. The value of Bitcoin is that it exists outside the fiat networks. No one can stop when, where or with who you transact... But for most of the everyday transactions, Bitcoin is still to volatile for everyday use.
It's still too technical to use. Aqua wallet goes a long way to solve these issues holistically, IMO. But it's not trustless...
How do we get there? What do you see?

Well, it's #HolyWeek. Just a reminder to all the #bitcoin hodlers... This is the day that Christ thrashes the moneychangers.
Matthew 21:
12 ¶ And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

I can see we're going to go around and around here.
The point of those arguments is to say, the benefit of a thing is not dependent on the results being absolute.
As for the government and laws surrounding pornography, they didn't ban it. They put age requirements in place and as a distributor of pornography, they're required to distribute responsibly. This is no different than the age requirements around drinking or smoking. The distributor is required to do so responsibily.
If you're unwilling to card, then you receive a fine. Every gas station knows this. No one complains about liberty because their kids aren't allowed in the bar or aren't allowed to buy cigarettes.
Minors are not allowed in strip clubs and they aren't allowed to buy nude mags. The legislature is saying, "hey online porn industry, clean it up. You need to start distributing your stuff responsibly like every other distributor of pornography or you will be fined".
Pornhub decided that it's too big of a burden to do so. So they pulled out of the state. Good riddance. 🤷‍♂️

Believe it or not, some people prefer not to live in a world of filth. It's the same reason why there are laws against other vices. Gambling, drugs, alcohol...
It's not about stopping things 100%. It's a deterrent and a completely non-controversial thing.
You can circumvent the system and watch filth in your own house. No one is kicking down doors to prevent you from running one out. But the people of their own state voted to deter the free flow of pornography as a standard. Porn hub pulled out of the state. The deterrent worked.

2025-10-14 00:16:53 UTC

Why does everyone think this way, as if deterrents don't work?
It's why we have age requirements for drinking, driving, smoking, etc.
No one expects it to end all activity. It just sets the baseline standard. Most people follow the defaults...

The libs are out again.... The terminology is exactly right for exactly what it says. The consequence is what you find racist. The destruction of the native culture and people. It's not even debatable. It's the natural consequence.
But cultures don't matter to those who own tax slaves. One slave is as good as another. Their personal beliefs and culture are of no material consequence to the income they provide.
As for the natives... Those families who suffer murder or rape at the hands of the new slaves, still pay their bills.
Their suffering is also of no material consequence.

It's not confusing. You're calling out conservatives for undying support of Israel. I'm showing you that almost 500k people voted on that exact subject and 90% don't. Yeah, I agree, I'm not sure why this is confusing.
But libs have been in control since pretty much '94 we had 8 years of neocon wars with Bush, and then Obama "fundamentally changed" the US but kept the wars going and continued to expand government.
Trumps first term was met by "the resistance"... Ended wars and we actually had a couple years of peace... But he blew up the deficit. Then we had 4 years of Biden that multiplied the debt x4 and gave us "kink" in the Whitehouse.
I'm not sure the Conservatives are in any way responsible for this. Believe it or not, we're a big camp ideologically, but have had virtually zero say in where we are now.
And this gay porn bot is out of control. Why would anyone even build something like that... I'm blind.

Your analogy is inaccurate and short sighted.
Let's start at the beginning... Globalization started in the early 90's. What has happened to American small business since the early 90's?
What happened? We opened our markets to foreign companies, but they did not do the same. The result was Walmart setting up shop in small towns all across the country and flooding the market with cheap Chinese goods.
American small business couldn't compete with Chinese wages. Nor could they participate in the arbitrage. American business closed and lost their ability to adjust thier pricing to the market. They ended up working for Walmart... At virtual minimum wage... A wage that hasn't seen a real rise since the year 2000.
China did not reciprocate. They did not allow us into their markets. They kept tariffs in place. That wasn't a tax on their people. That was to ensure that if their people had a choice between 2 products, ours would not have a competitive edge. The bought Chinese... So did we.
End result 30 years later? American manufacturing has been gutted and with it American businesses.
You say goods just got more expensive, the real question is, what was the price of those cheap goods? What good is capitalism of you aren't a market participant?
We turned the vast majority of people into wage slaves. We have consumerism now. How can you be a consumer without discretionary income? How can you adjust your earnings to the market when you're competing against the 3rd world?
The current game works for the bankers and the mega corporations. Trump's play evens the playing field for American business.

We're inscribing our will directly onto magic plates and when enough energy is provided, through a series of electrical impulses and lights, we give birth to an interactive illusion that all can see and that interact with our world.
We can even take control of inanimate objects and force our will upon them.
