I enjoy most of your videos and thank you for them. This time I have to disagree. I don't see how conscription could be a good thing. As you say, the elites would escape it anyway. At least with a professional army, the rest of us can escape it at well if we wish.
Regarding taxes: if we could choose... But the point of taxes is that you or I don't get to choose; the government chooses for us. If I got to choose, taxes would be entirely voluntary. I would choose, item by item, what I wish to fund with my money. Like I do with donations.
This time it seems that you are asking for a fair master rather than being sovereign. Not what bitcoin is for.

Depends on whether they are still misguided and blinded by the propaganda.
So that they can enjoy the "privilege" of worldwide taxation and exit tax if they ever decide to leave?
So that they cannot pay for a drink with Lightning because they are afraid that the taxman is going to get them?
Of course, similar thinking applies to other "developed" "Western" countries.

Yes, but, at this point, what do those countries have to offer? For instance, why would a sovereign individual want to move to, say, the US?

I don't blame TBC, to be clear. They may help some people. The Visa card didn't charge me for forex conversion, even though the documents say it does. And visa has $750 limit vs. the $500 for the MC. So I don't see any advantages for the MC, only drawbacks.
Just find it funny that the card issuers are such hypercompliant losers that they are afraid of people "laundering" money and committing financial "crimes" with $50 cards.
To other readers: this is the danger of "bitcoin" Visa cards: they may turn on KYC at any moment and leave you stranded. Use them if you must, but be aware of the dangers. Let's use bitcoin as intended: P2P, without intermediaries.

Oh, and I don't have a house. In part, because I don't want to be subject to direct taxes, plus being locked down, masked and injected. I still depend on them _granting me_ a passport, but they aren't yet using that to attack individuals. I'm always in time to get myself a pod and be sedentary. I wonder, do you have a take on being nomadic vs sedentary?

Of course. I used the word 'retard' because it fitted well with your original note. I apologize if it sounded like an insult. But I still believe that the income tax in particular is retarded, oppressive and privacy-invading. I wish that bitcoiners were not simping for politicians that 'let them' pay taxes in bitcoin.

When I do the "pull" gesture from the left side, I get the side menu with only the log out option instead of being able to go back to the previous screen. It would be nice to open the side menu only when touching the Nostr avatar.
I don't know if more options are planned for that menu. If not, it might be good to remove it altogether and move the log out to the settings menu. Also I'd like to be able to add multiple nostr accounts.

😲 Didn't expect this take from Guy Swann either.
Dropping the dollar might be the first step, but it's not the end game. You cannot become free if you insist on using their private payment networks instead of the bitcoin/lightning network.
I do have a debit and credit card and bank account but I'm not exactly proud of it. We should aim towards a world where we can use bitcoin everywhere, and we don't depend on their networks/systems. Using TBC prepaid visa is a crutch, not the goal. Those in power can take non-KYC prepaid cards away if they want to. Let's not lose sight of that.

Platforms are requiring proof of government identity, not "real-life identity". In "real life" (maybe meat space or embodied/physical life, since what we do on internet is also real) you can still use a nym, nickname or professional name, as many artists do.
I just think we should not mistake "real-life identity" for government/legal identity. Those are different. The government has no right to tell anyone who they are.

I don't get it. I think the regret is having too much fiat, not spending bitcoin. Or do you expect us to sleep naked under a bridge and die of starvation for the sake of not spending?
The problem with not spending is that one day the government/system will dictate how you are allowed to earn and spend your fiat and if you haven't practiced using bitcoin (among other things, of course) you will be trapped.

If you are OK with being KYC'd for everything you do and believe that the information they collect will never be used against you, then you are right.

I was thinking about this yesterday. The other factors you mention are local, but "global warming"/"climate change" is a *global* "problem", so it "requires" a *global* solution. For the totalitarians that after more and more power this is a perfect narrative, because it grants them *global* power. This is why they are so obsessed with global warming/climate change and they don't care about the other factors.
We don't have to try to reason with them or justify ourselves. Just reject the whole thing for what it is: a *global* power grab.

I'm not "ignoring the benefits", as I make segwit/taproot transactions often. I'm trying to bring awarenesses to the side effects of soft forks, because many people act as if bitcoin is perfect and this is la-la-land. I would like bitcoin to at least replace fiat currency before it gets destroyed from within.

2024-01-20 14:19:54

- reply

It isn't that I don't "like" ecash. It's that for me, it doesn't solve any problem that lightning doesn't solve already, because I already have the channels I need.
I can see that for someone new to bitcoin who cannot afford yet to open a channel, it could be helpful. But I'm not super excited about it, since it has enormous trade offs in terms of sovereignty.
Can ecash be transacted completely offline? If so, that could be an important use case.

2024-01-20 14:05:47

Segwit brought anyone-can-spend UTXOs.

What I fear is that when I need to spend it, nobody will take it, because the entire planet has been poisoned by fiat thinking.
This is why I think it's important to normalize accepting bitcoin. This is not about spending bitcoin in crap. It's about being able to spend bitcoin without being forced to go through the banking, KYC, social credit and CBDC system.

@npub1864…t2tq @npub1cn6…wt8a Maybe this is a stupid idea, but I've been thinking that maybe it's time to add Nostr to BTC Map, like the ability to comment on/review merchants with a Nostr identity. Later, reviews can be weighted according to WoT, zaps and other criteria. And this is how OSM+Nostr could become the Google Maps killer.
This could also incentivize merchants to make sure that their businesses are listed on OSM.

I think it is about signaling to the merchant that there are people willing to pay with bitcoin. I have seen many stories of merchants that used to accept bitcoin and stopped because "nobody uses it".
Personally, I am aiming to eventually live without banks, and that's not possible if merchants don't want to accept bitcoin (or cash at least for physical merchants).

Exactly my thoughts. Their software is full of bugs.
And I would argue that it’s already happening on the hardware side as well. Look at those ugly iMacs. And that “chin” for the webcam that divides the menu bar in two (on MacBooks). They still can get away with it because they are “Apple” and all their legacy and influence; otherwise everyone would be mocking them.
Lastly, their prices are ridiculous now. They were always expensive, but they used to provide high quality and great design. Now, they act as if they were in the fashion business rather than the hardware business. Maybe they think they are Louis Vuitton or something like that. All appearances and no substance.

Yes and no. The protocol is opinionated: whether to keep, alter or remove OP_RETURN, the segwit discount, and so on alter the conditions of the “free market”, i.e. the playing field that the protocol enables. Even the block size limit is opinionated. For example, with an unlimited OP_RETURN, it would be cheaper to make an inscription using it, because you wouldn’t have to split it among several transactions.

2023-04-28 20:20:29

- reply

I wonder what would happen if the nodes stopped saving and verifying the segwit transaction signatures. Can those UTXOs be spent by anyone? I still haven’t found a convincing answer to that question. But that’s another story.

2023-04-28 20:17:01

- reply

I would be pleased if the segwit discount was removed. About the OP_RETURN cap, I’d rather keep it unless there is a justification for increasing (not removing) it. You mentioned the “expresiveness”. I definitely don’t want to censor data, but I believe that transactions should be as concise as possible rather than expressive/verbose. The bitcoin blockchain is, first and foremost, an accounting ledger, not a blank canvas to paint or write novels. I am OK with short strings of text, such as the Times’ headline in the genesis block or the miners writing their name on the blocks they mine. It’s not about the contents, but about the length/size.

I suppose that if presenting id became easy and seamless, then more places and businesses would ask for it.
