Have you ever been under a tyrannical government that takes control of the army?
We did
And militias were just wiped out

Maybe @npub17ty…3mgl can comment as I took it from his comment on another network .. maybe there is some logic that I’m missing

2024-09-08 13:20:15

I don’t understand much about US laws and constitution but I’m still wondering why people think that 2nd amendment protects citizens from tyrannical government?
Let’s think for a bit:
- if a tyrannical government takes control, and assuming they control the army.. your guns at home are just like a water gun compared to the army’s fire power
- if a tyrannical government comes, constitution becomes useless and they can ban normal people to buy ammo and new guns
So unless most homes in the US has war level weapons, tanks, jets, and and enough ammunition.. then you will still have problems defending from a tyrannical government.
I hope that’ll never happen obviously but I’m still curious to understand why constitution is even relevant in the event a tyrant takes control

Even what the “values” are is changing. Most people today claiming their values are being affected are part of massive immigrations that shifted values to those from before
For instance the origins of my family are from France and Spain and misté people living in Argentina have similar heritage from Italy or Spain etc.
Surely those massive immigrations changed the values of those living in Argentina before we all arrived and here we are.
Most of all of us have some immigrant origin

There is a conflictive narrative in some parts of the world
On the one side we all want freedom and free markets
On the other side they all want import tariffs to block “other markets to steal local jobs” and they want “tighter immigration rules” for similar reason
So how does that work?. If you truly believe that markets in the end will adjust themselves why would you put restrictions on tariffs?. Why would you limit how many immigrant workers can come to your country?
I live in Argentina were, at some point in our history, immigration size was much bigger than the total population of the country .. waves of low class workers just finding some hope here.. escaping from wars and poverty in Europe at the time …
I can imagine what our country would be like if all that people wouldn’t have been allowed to enter
Then people from Paraguay Bolivia came in millions .. replacing some labor work from locals and here we are
Then Chinese.. basically taking over most of small neighborhoods super market jobs and here we are
Then Venezuelans came blending into our society across all levels escaping from dictatorship
Just a thought

Before moving to a stand alone house I was living in an apartment.. and in that apartment everyone needed to come together from time to time to decide on most of the things and vote
Almost no one wanted to be involved.. most people either don’t have time or don’t really care about optimizing every single aspect
Imagine if that simple thing of meeting in the lobby caused apathy, imagine now pushing all of us to have to deal with smart contracts “and” pay for contract fees for each decision
So what I’m saying is:
I love the fact that DAOs exist and I think they add enormous value to certain projects where before you had no chance .. but that doesn’t mean you can transform every single decision in everybody’s life into a smart contract vote because most people don’t care

Having seen most DAOs today corruption is also there in different forms

2024-08-31 23:28:41

There is some people out here that are suggesting we should use DAOs for everything and ley me try to explain why I think it’s crazy even if it’s technologically possible
For one second, close your eyes and think of a world were absolutely everything requieres you to align and vote
Even on simple things like what time the street lights go off, urbanism rules, how to synch the traffic light, what should be the content of your kids school, discussions about foreign policies , agreements on replacing the electric grid in your neighborhood for one that is more reliable, agreements on extending the metro line, discussions on how to allocate the budget of your city, town, country etc
And in addition to that, you also need to stay up to date on your career to remain competitive and also spend hours at work
Now, open your eyes… would that be possible?
Some people would say; ok you can delegate but how can I even know who is best across so many different topics. I wouldn’t have time to do that
So then you go back to delegating to a bigger entity that will in general have some principles that you agree with and then you delegate to them so they assign experts on every topic (even if then, those are not real experts)
So now we are back to where we are today

I’ll tell you a secret.. when I saw the halving block coming into my node with 40 btc fees and then the next one with 7 btc fees I though something was wrong .. then I noticed the fee rates and I realized that bitcoin was fine but some crazy people out there were spending money in fees for shitcoins and stuff
We urgently need opcat or something like that so we can have a trustless bridge into an L2

Not sure how to understand this point. I don’t think we should be ok with ossification. While we must be cautious and carful, and the stability of bitcoin consensus has been a feature, we got to accept that it’s not a finished job
If we want bitcoin to be used worldwide and self sovereignty to exist, we can’t assume that bitcoin will only be used in centralized layers .. we got to figure out safe ways to enable trustless L2 where full financial powers can unveil whole keeping base layer ultra secure
Unfortunately there is whole world that does not understand bitcoins superiority and they are using other chains on things that are valuable like moving stable coins or excusing them with bitcoin etc but all happening in less secure centralized options.. even myself launched a payment processor were stablecoins are used and I needed to use other stuff when I wish I could use bitcoin rails for it as on a personal side I just only focus my time on bitcoin
So things like op-cat or equivalents, helping BitVm work etc would do a lot for bitcoin and we shouldn’t cancel out that stuff or put it into a multi 20 years debate

hey... I think inflation creates massive distortion and incentivizes wrong behaviors
- Most people, in countries like ours, don't have much to save.. so broadly speaking they simply learn that there is no point in saving, you just need to spend in whatever thing as saving money makes no point.
- But I think the worst part of having inflation is that there is no credit. Now with that, you cannot save and also you cannot buy important stuff with credit like houses or cars etc.
People's only choice is to save in USD but USD also loses value on the long run.. if you want to slowly accumulate USD to buy a house in 10 years you will lose a lot of money...
So for most people inflation is just about spending all you have, hope your salary will catch up .. struggle for some time until it's adjusted and then spend again...

That said, I feel it’s incredibly advanced. So many security features from the moment you turn it on, or how you type your pin, or security words to identify potential frauds, or having it completely air gapped, having every file being signed, having your coldcard as entropy generator for others and so on and so forth
Amazing

Hey @npub1sg6…f63m I was super excited when I first heard of Ocean and your support to it. But what I’m hearing now is quite discouraging as I see that in the end.. we wanted to descentralize to avoid censorship but Ocean is filtering technically valid transactions including now coinjoins
Is that something that can be revisited?
Instead of censoring it’ll be better to agree in needed changes in L1 to enable trustless L2. Can you align with @npub1lh2…a9nk on that so we all celebrate Ocean again?
