@nprofile…fg9w I'm genuinely skeptical of BIP 110 (and all soft forks for that matter), but I would find it far more helpful if you shared less ad hominem and speculation about bad actors, and focused more on critical analysis of the BIP itself.
From my understanding, the BIP sounds relatively harmless particularly given its 1 year limited effect. It sounds like the main issue is that a contentious fork which is forced through could cause a re-org. Any other risks with the BIP?

Nothing wrong with that if people find value in it. The most interesting thing will be when AI learns to spend its BTC.

Brand new to lightning, and I just switched Nostr clients since using lightning on Amethyst was way too complicated and confusing. I tried a few times and couldn't figure out how to make a free wallet. I THINK I finally got it set up now that I switched to Primal. That said, if anyone wants to donate a sat or 2 for the benefit of my education I would greatly appreciate it!😅

If that's true, it is true to the same extent or even moreso for all standard encryption, such as bank accounts, web services, nuclear codes, electrical grids, etc... I don't know why it is such a scare tactic for Bitcoin specifically. When (and if) quantum computing happens on a large scale, the world will have far more to worry about than whether our Bitcoin is safe.

Lots of threads you could pull here, but my first thought is highlighting the difference between a representative as a delegate vs. a representative as a trustee. The former gauges a representative on how closely they follow the will of the people on any immediate day. The latter is basically the idea that the representative should stick to his principles regardless of the whims of the public. If a free-market libertarian is elected and the public suddenly thereafter demands socialism, is it the obligation of the representative to support socialism? Or is it the obligation of the populace to vote for a socialist in the next election?
Your proposal takes representative as a delegate to the extreme. Let's walk through some likely outcomes:
1. People are fickle about policy because their preferences adjust to immediate circumstances. You can imagine some pretty incoherent voting records coming out of that system. You can also imagine contradictory policies being passed.
2. People rarely wish to take the long hard path needed for prosperity and are more likely to vote for short term relief at the expense of the future.
3. Putting every issue to a vote by the populace means people need to be experts in every field or face voting based on vibes.
4. People are unlikely to vote on every single legislative issue, meaning the boring industry specific issues are likely to be unrepresentative of the public at large and far more representative of certain interest groups. You can bet industries will vote to enrich themselves at the cost of the public.

I think part of it is a failure to see that future as distinct from their current circumstances. People who are financially obligated to work often make sacrifices between the type of work they'd like to do and the job that will pay the bills. Additionally, people don't always have the ability to tell their boss to get lost, and they have far less time for family and vacation than they want. When you no longer need money, those pressures all disappear, and you have the ability to find a job that suits all of your needs and provides meaning.

I gave it a listen. The context was that you don't do a consensus level change to play whack a mole with individual styles of spam. A softfork pertaining to reducing or removing op_return is not that, so the irony you seem to be pointing out is superficial. And I think you know that.

No way to know. But also, no reason to suspect that's true. Issuing paper Bitcoin is a seriously risky venture when the underlying asset is easy and cheap to self custody, can be sent instantly, and is verified every 10 minutes.

"Worthy" is just a question of "have I earned it?" If you accomplish the thing by your own actions, you demonstrate to yourself almost axiomatically that you are worthy. Really, the extent to which you are rewarded for the work of others is the extent to which you should ask "am I worthy?"

Utilitarianism and its so-called opposite, Deontology, are both collectivist in some way, and run counter to a free society. Personally, I think theres a space somewhere between Aristotelian Ethics, Objectivism, and Stoicism that best suits a free society.

"Faith" is belief in in something in the absence of evidence to support that belief. Faith is strongest when it is a belief held despite evidence to the contrary. In that sense, this is no more paradoxical than any requirement of faith.

Guy, you seem pretty heated on this issue. I really love your content, and listen to your show all the time. I just think on an issue this devisive it's good to remember theres always nuance and we never have a completely clear picture of the truth. All sides have incentive to lie. All sides have incentive to diminish their own role in things. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. All we can do is approximate justice based on what we think we know.

Iran has consistently called for the destruction of Israel for the last 20 years, has launched their own missiles into Israel (April 2024), and has funded and supported numerous terrorist groups like Hamas's October 7th attack on innocent civilians. If I were Israel I'd be pissed too.
Why are we only upset when Israel takes out Iranian leadership and hampers their nuclear program?

Moral justifications of pirating always reveal a sense of entitlement. You have to remember, Alden developed her knowledge through a lifetime study. There's a lot of opportunity cost in developing such specialization. Through that effort, she can provide novel insight into a topic which you would otherwise be less informed. By writing that book, she provides all of us a real service. Pirating is choosing not to provide Alden with reciprocal value for value.

@nprofile…qft7 That much is certain and is fundamental to Bitcoin But leaving your response there misses the point. The problem is two-fold: 1.

I was suggesting the answer to your question could be gleaned from a response Shinobi already gave. I then offered my opinion on Shinobi's implied position. I was trying to be helpful. You're trying to be a dick.

2025-05-06 17:02:25 UTC

Shinobi was very clear he thinks there's no rational arguments against the change, which suggests he doesn't believe a tradeoff or risk even exists. Pretty silly opinion of you ask me.

I normally like Shinobi, but his self-admitted inability to see the other side seems intentionally myopic. It seems like he's more interested in being right than challenging his beliefs.

Not meaning to be too contrarian here, but success at the cost of a person's integrity would be one "wrong way" imo. I think a lot of people who are uneducated on the subject presume Bitcoin is in some way dishonest, which would negatively inform how they view a person's success through Bitcoin.
