The message is this: You’re beautiful at any size! You’re obese? Never mind, it’s just another shape. You think it’s ugly? Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. You think it’s unhealthy? You’re right, but it’s not allowed to say that because it hurts feelings and is therefore violent speech. Let’s just close our eyes and ears and ignore reality. Reality sucks!

Back then when Aphex Twin made the album Come to Daddy in 1997, it was meant as an intentional provocation. If you consider this a provocation today, you yourself are considered the provocation. Times change and so does your perception by and of society. https://image.nostr.build/82802c12ac104f181b18f2c0e7ba8114857663730da38291bdf66b39e717e110.jpg

IMO there isn't a straightforward, consistently high correlation between Bitcoin's price and the growth of money supply (like M2). For instance, periods of significant money printing haven't always led to immediate or proportional increases in Bitcoin's price. This could be due to Bitcoin's nascent nature, where its price is influenced heavily by adoption rates, technological developments, regulatory news, and speculative trading rather than purely monetary policy.

No, I understand your point very well. My point is that it’s a choice how much you want to consume. Consume less and work less. The idea that we have achieved technological superiority to the point where nobody should have to work anymore is misguided. Also, I don’t think that 40 hours is a lot. Sounds pretty entitled to me

2024-08-26 12:35:19

Well, looking at the median American citizen’s household debt of approximately 65K USD, 40 hours per week doesn’t seem to be nearly enough. You can’t keep spending consistently more than what you earn over DECADES and then demand less working hours. I know there is a lot of nuance around the subject, including student loans, home affordability, etc. BUT: If you can’t afford to study and if you can’t afford a house, DON’T DO IT! Look at emerging markets. People don’t buy stuff they can’t afford. It’s basic common sense.

Hey worshippers! I see a lot of bitcoin related iconolatry. Some people are literally worshipping and excessively revering either the idea of bitcoin or the person of Satoshi.
Just a reminder: Bitcoin is the antithesis to blind faith and thoughtless veneration. I am afraid that this level of admiration will overshadow critical thinking or rational consideration.

We’re on the same page here. It then boils down to personal preference and a lucky hand in getting the mix right. Historically, the best „mix“ would have been 100% in bitcoin plus leverage on bitcoin. But then, I am not the greedy type and I value hedging my risks. Also, life tells me that many a times you have it all laid out when you suddenly are faced with an unforeseen event. So I would treat these events as something that is going to happen sooner or later. Which leads me to the conclusion that diversification is prudent. It’s not the path leading to degenerate returns, but I wouldn’t like to consider myself degenerate anyways. We are entering a volatile and increasingly difficult world. The winners my well be those who manage to lose least, rather than those who manage to win most. The one-eyed amongst the blind, if your will.

I think you are right about the price argument. Berkshire stock is 0.5 mio. a pop, but this built up over decades. It may therefore take longer for bitcoin to appreciate further. Also, It’s first and foremost liquidity driven. And it is ultra liquid in itself. During Covid this became clear.

Conviction is good. Your analysis is overly simplistic though in my view. There are stock markets in the world that aren’t as overvalued as the US stock market. While bitcoin is amazing without doubt I always remind myself that it’s the companies that create the actual things we use and consume every day. Gold ha some properties that Bitcoin doesn’t have. Yes, sounds stupid but you can touch it and actually physically give it to someone. You can physically hide it. This is different from seed phrase management and has its own upsides and downsides. Real estate has a utility value und provides something fundamental: shelter from the elements. In summary, I won’t get blinded by digital promises and forget that we live in a physical world by the end of the day. Bitcoin is probably the greatest invention in centuries, but it is NOT the answer to all our problems. To many, but not to all.

I am with @npub1h8n…rpev on that. The French government does not care about protecting citizens from criminal offenders. They want to stick their noses in your and my peer-to-peer conversations in order to consolidate their power and get closer to their goal of establishing a totalitarian government a la Louis XIV.
But without Versailles. Unlike the sun king, they might not go back to not taking daily showers. Unless, of course, they seek inspiration from other totalitarian leaders like chairman Mao and decide that taking showers is for only for lowly plebs.

The way I would defend cases like Telegram’s would broadly go like this. And this is also what I am highlighting in public posts and when talking with friends (NOT LEGAL ADVICE):
Lack of Direct Involvement.
No Criminal Intent: The CEO and the company did not create or operate the platform with the intention of facilitating criminal activities. The app was designed to provide secure communication for legitimate users, protecting privacy in line with legal and ethical standards.
Separation from Users' Actions:
The platform is a tool, and the company cannot be held liable for how individuals choose to use it, just as phone companies or email providers aren’t held accountable for criminal activities conducted using their services.
Legal and Ethical Duty to Protect Privacy.
Highlight that end-to-end encryption is a recognized standard for protecting user privacy, and its implementation aligns with global privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and human rights frameworks that emphasize the right to privacy.
Responsibility of Law Enforcement: Argue that while the platform offers encryption, the responsibility to prevent and prosecute criminal activities lies with law enforcement agencies. The inability to access encrypted communications should prompt law enforcement to seek other investigatory methods rather than shifting the blame to the technology provider.
Existing Legal Mechanisms:
Point out that mechanisms like subpoenas, warrants, and mutual legal assistance treaties (MLATs) exist to access certain data legally, and the CEO has always complied with lawful requests within the bounds of the law.
Disproportionate Sentence: Argue that the demanded 20-year sentence is grossly disproportionate, especially given the lack of direct criminal involvement. Highlight the absence of any previous convictions or misconduct by the CEO.
Impact on Innovation and Privacy:
Argue that punishing the CEO for providing encryption technology would set a dangerous precedent, stifling innovation, and undermining efforts to protect individual privacy against state surveillance and cyber threats.

I enjoyed reading Harari’s previous books because I like to explore abstract concepts and history. I don’t like his positions though. Yuval Noah Harari is much like Peter Zeihan: singing the high praises on institutions and their superior abilities to manage society and solve conflicts.
According to him, bitcoin is bad because it is based on distrust. For obvious reasons, however, he doesn’t take the next logical step to explore why institutional trust has eroded that much as of late.
He acknowledges the transformative potential of blockchain technology but raises concerns about the broader implications of cryptocurrencies on society and global stability.
He also warns that the decentralization of financial systems, which cryptocurrencies advocate, could lead to greater inequality and instability if not properly managed by governments and international institutions.
He explicitly expressed concerns about how the rise of cryptocurrencies might contribute to the weakening of state control over economies, potentially leading to scenarios where private entities or even individuals hold disproportionate power compared to traditional nation-states.

Tether is launching a stable coin for the United Arab Emirates Dirham („AED“).
For background, the AED is pegged has been pegged to the USD since many years and as part of the petrodollar system. The UAE are among the biggest oil exporters worldwide. They get paid in USD and then recycle these USD back into US government bonds.
The USD/AED peg is being artificially amaintained through the UAE central bank buying and selling US dollars and AED respectively.
Creating a stablecoin for the AED therefore means a double peg:
USD to AED
AED to Stablecoin
More remotely, there is also a “peg” of the USD to crude oil…
If you ask me, it’s just a matter of time for this to break.

Hi, I’ve written a thesis on this topic. I agree with your concern. The one thing many people in the tokenization business don’t understand is this: in bitcoin’s case the valuable asset IS the information on the blockchain itself. That’s why enforcement can happen on-chain. In the case of blockchain based title registers enforcement can’t happen online because it actually is important who in the end will physically possess the property. This can only be enforced by the state (or regime) with guns and jails.

These people are right economically but they seem to be blind to the fact that for people like Kamala this tool works perfectly well: everybody believes the lie over and over and over. It’s proven and tested - not from an economic but from a political angle. It reminds me of infants: mommy tells the same joke over and over again and they laugh every single time.

True. My concern is as always legislation. While you are thankfully able to hold your own BTC you might run the risk to get criminalized along the way. The US might use BTC similar to the way they used first gold and then oil: as a foundation asset to prop up the dollar.

The strategic bitcoin reserve, if it happens, will pump the bags of bitcoin holders. But it has the potential effect of allowing government to capture bitcoin in a way similar to what happened to gold. I am not very happy about it.

Price controls actually work very well for the hypocrites who will be elected based on the false promise of bringing prices down. It’s important to understand that economic laws of physics can be repressed, albeit for limited time. This limited time is however enough for Kamala to come into power.

No, monkey pox and shingles are NOT the same. They are caused by different viruses, namely the monkeypox and the varicella-sister virus, respectively. I agree with your take on the vaccination and the actual lethality of the monkeypox virus though.

People always say price control never worked. But let’s face it: they actually DO work, notably for the politicians who are pointing fingers at innocent actors. The companies and shops make for excellent scape goats and help the corrupt and unconscionable politician to become more popular.

Institutions and governments recently have come to love the term „violent speech”. This is a deliberate Orwellian manipulation of the natural meaning of a word. Violent by its very definition is physical in nature. Words might hurt but can never injure.

The question is this: will enforcement at scale be possible now that we live in a digital society? The toolkit of government has widened.

I wonder if it is mere coincidence that Satoshi released the Bitcoin White Paper exactly on the day preceding the anniversary of Whitfield Diffie and Martin E. Hellman's release of their proposal for a breakthrough in cryptographic communication dated 1 November 1976, which was the first implementation of public/private key pairs for secure communication over public channels.
