I have done many things wrong in my life; I have no need to pretend otherwise. But one charge even my most imaginative detractors cannot make stick is that I lacked balls.
I stood up to a combined force involving Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and many of the largest players in the corrupt crypto industry. Not from the safety of a committee, not behind a chorus of anonymous cowards, and not with the soft little evasions of men who mistake popularity for principle.
I took the blows openly. I was bloodied. I was dragged through the mud by people who confuse consensus with truth and wealth with virtue.
And yet, here is the awkward fact they cannot quite digest: I am still standing.
That, I suspect, is what irritates them most.

"Dear Author,
We are pleased to inform you that your manuscript, titled "Data is not knowledge: Hayek's epistemological challenge to artificial intelligence", has been assessed, and our reviewers recommend acceptance. After considering their evaluations, I also support this decision.
A good result and another weekend editing!
The world will look exactly like the incentives will guide them to look.
The only thing that stops it is moral men who refuse to be bought or led purely by incentives.
But that kind of man is rare.
It's a farce. Can anyone from @MNEE_cash@rockwallet BSV Community integrate ASEA Countries to local easy off-ramps /on-ramps without these crazy fees ? Screw VISA/Mastercard and these middlemen, sick of these.

If anyone can do something about it @Dr_CSWright ? I will.
Imagine being in foreign country, you want to use Digital Payments for ease; for each deposit they charge $1.50 as tx fee. I deposited 21 times, lost $31.50 + FOREX charges to my 'home' jurisdiction. It's a joke.We need True P2P Cash payments w/tx cost < 0.001. #Bitcoin#BSV
It also brought me back to something I have been saying for years about payments.
Here in Thailand, local bank systems can move extraordinarily small amounts by phone. A baht. Sometimes less. For people living on very little, that matters.
But the moment you move across borders, the economics change. Fees appear. Intermediaries appear. Minimum viable transaction sizes appear. And for the unbanked, the problem becomes more obvious still.
That is where the original idea of Bitcoin mattered.
Cash.
Not digital gold.
Not an object to admire in a vault while congratulating ourselves on scarcity.
Cash.
A system for moving value directly, including very small amounts, between people who may not share a bank, a country, a currency system or an institutional relationship.
When you spend time around people for whom 300 baht is a day’s income, the phrase “micropayment” stops sounding like a technical curiosity.
It becomes an economic question.
Can someone send 5 baht across a border without losing most of it to fees?
Can a migrant worker remit tiny amounts frequently rather than waiting until the sum is large enough to justify the cost?
Can someone without conventional banking access participate in digital commerce at all?
That was always the more interesting problem.
The wealthy can tolerate friction. They merely complain about it.
The poor are excluded by it.
Bitcoin was meant to be peer-to-peer electronic cash.
Too many people became fascinated by the price of the coin and forgot the people for whom the payment system was supposed to matter.
@CsTominaga The Diagnosis can be assisted but the nous of the doctor's ability to hone in to delienate between casual events from the predictor's knowledge graph and a unique pattern of the patient emerging from gauging the deterioration cadence accounting for anomalies cannot be eclipsed.
@GavinMehl OR
You do it by following your intuition.

Go on an extended 3 month grape fast. Detox the mucoid plaque out of your intestines that agglomerated all the heavy metals throughout your life.

@CsTominaga@BantickDrewe I've had the Liver for the very first time here in Thailand and I loved it; hits everything you said about elemental -minerals in the bio-absorbable form.
I hear the dessicated thyroid meat is also top notch?
Just came to a Co-Working space in Chiang Mai. Yellow Co-Working.
Gawd.
Talked to bunch of Digital Nomads & they either shut up and went back to their phones without nothing to say when I burst their bubble on Ethereum projects | Solana projects when I talked about SegWit | Lightning Network | RBF | Gas Fees | Low TPS | Failing Howey's Test.
Young lads got so quiet & offended.
They have no clue what they are doing.
Rollups on L2 ? Great. But does it scale to a million people?

Verification of Hashes? Does it have a SPV ?

Do you know about the CLARITY ACT ?
Mature Blockchain Test | 1933 SEC Act | Howey's Test | Criterion Req's to be validated
*CRICKETS*
Both lads shut up shop and ignored me.
Well, I recommended them to look these up.
People are so attached to sentiments , BS ICO scams that never scales, ML Exchanges & apecoin without offering any value.
Build on Foundations that is P-2-P & create REAL value.

The only scumbag here is you , oh wait that stupid cat impersonator as well.
@tuftythecat the turd RP(Returded Property) lawyer.
Ought to be stripped off his License and X name. An Insult to one of the most intelligent species in this realm.
btw, If you don't think UTXO splitting that @cryptorebel_SV built is not an Enterprise product then jokes on you.
It's obvious you are a troll. So move on.
Woo hoo...

Riemannian geometry of the moment manifold in relativistic kinetic theory and the approach to hydrodynamics

Nobody cares about your promises.
Timelines.
Hopes.
Manifestation Rituals.
Intentions.
Actualizations.
Tribe.
Community.
People pleasing.
Just outcomes.
If you provide solutions in goods and services that are in demand which addresses pain points of everyday people and multiply it by a factor of 10x- 20x in KPI's for efficiency that scales to a million/billion people then you create change.
This is how Bitcoin is really designed.
Alice sends to Bob. Alice also sends to nodes. Bob sends to nodes. Bob returns a separate proof — a receipt — showing that he has sent. The nodes are not decorative little saints sitting in a chapel of theory; they are densely interconnected economic actors, passing information through a web so robust that failure becomes not a drama but an edge case.
Notice what is not being said.
Alice is not a node.
Bob is not a node.
A spectator with software is not a node merely because he enjoys the costume.
The nodes are the competitive parties that build, validate, propagate, and settle. Alice and Bob are peers. That is peer-to-peer: not a mystical commune of hobbyists, but a direct exchange between parties, with the network serving as the machinery of settlement.
The elegance is that trust is not required. Trust is the tax paid by badly designed systems. In Bitcoin, Alice does not need to trust Bob to behave nobly. Bob does not need to trust Alice to remain honest. The system is constructed so that proof, propagation, economic interest, and record replace sentiment.
And if someone reneges, the parties with an actual interest in the transaction still act. They propagate. They evidence. They settle. They do not need sermons on virtue, because incentives have already done what sermons pretend to do.
That is the architecture: direct exchange, proof returned, nodes interconnected, incentives aligned, failure reduced, trust displaced by evidence.
Bitcoin was not designed as a theatre for slogans.
It was designed to work.
@zen_kuso@CsTominaga Nous - Noetic ,These are the etymological roots of 'knowing' something which a human has agency in as there is thought birthed by the soul not a couple of statistical matching algorithms stiched together by the very humans that misrepresent intelligence as Si mimicking synapses.
