Knots and Core infighting is GOOD for Bitcoin. It increases client diversity and decentralization. Knots and Core proponents publicly make the case for the superiority of their implementation and pick each other apart. This should make both clients better and keep more ppl honest
"Bitcoin is the system that says don't play their game, opt out. Learning Bitcoin is learning how money really works, and trust me, school doesn't teach us this." 🔥🔥

After watching the Class of 2024 jeer at the thought of keeping an open mind about an asset that can protect their future, now would be a good time to re-read @TheDRNet1's essay on why academia hates Bitcoin. 👇
🚨@LOUDMOUTH_ETH DRAINED FOR $1M TODAY - WAS IT REAL?
@LOUDMOUTH_ETH, could you explain how the "Loudmouth.eth" @ensdomains NFT ended up in your alt wallet, 0x5a0E, in the middle of it getting drained?
Below shows loudmouth.eth NFT being sent to your alt wallet, 0x5a0e, from the wallet that was drained today. A a MAYC @boredapeyc NFT was also sent back & forth between 0x5a0e and the wallet drained today, 142 days ago and 246 days ago. 👇
On top of that, the wallet that the drainer sent your ENS address to, sent the wallet .89 eth 23 days ago. 👇
So I have to ask you again, why would the person that stole +$1M from you today, make sure to send you back your loudmouth.eth NFT? Were they concerned about your Brand on @x as a #spaceshost, or were you just trying to "tidy" up a couple things? I don't know why, that's why I am asking. I choose curious.

Now, I’m not saying this is what happened. But a popular exit strategy among crypto millionaires has been to “fall victim” to phishing scams, so that not only do they get their money off the chain free and clear of taxes, but can even seek remediation through reporting that theft as losses, and then the third benefit of falling victim to these scams is that you garner sympathy in the event anyone ever did try to expose your crimes.
It’s very effective.
Again — emphasis on that I’m *not* saying that’s what happened here. But, I’m pretty good at finding that out. Would you be averse to me taking a look into the on-chain records and, would you be willing to share my findings to your own audience if I publish them?
@thetrocro@brockm To use your terminology, "basket of goods" = "economically dominant forms of transaction". What is economically dominant constantly shifts and depends on your point of view (e.g. what is economically dominant for the poor is different than for the affluent)
@thetrocro@brockm So you would advocate creating some sort of "basket of goods" to hold its price stable over time? This seems wholly impossible. For example, what happens when something new gets invented of value? Does that enter the basket? How would that affect this money adjustment?
@thetrocro@brockm Why would you want to keep prices of goods stable over time? Price of various goods changes with changing conditions and is an impirtant signal for a working economy. The goal of adjusting money to fix prices at a constant seems bizarre to me as well as impossible
@L0laL33tz@csuwildcat@iLoveJaneAdams WEF does sometimes try to destroy their critic's reputation (at least their rep among those against the WEF) by listing them on their website. Vivek won a lawsuit against them for it: https://t.co/FjmVgrBAYU
@Truthcoin@TomerStrolight Inertia is bad for innovators, great for savers. One of the reasons gold makes a better hard money than say tomatoes is that gold is inert. A bar of gold is chemically inert & will be the same in 100 years while innovative mold spores will rapidly alter the properties of a tomato
@Truthcoin Eth prioritizes "innovation" and narratives over stability, dependability, and fairness. It's thus not a reliable option for long-term savers, like myself. Luckily Bitcoin is different & more inert than the rest of crypto. See @tomerstrolight explanation: https://t.co/HsMEFjSZFK
It is a tough one, particularly for economists. Goes against a lot that is being taught in that field. It is not comfortable to question your beliefs. Not many are ready to take that step.
@louisminguey@HdxAcademy If you have a stable currency and a bank account you are one of the privileged few globally. Bitcoin is an escape hatch https://t.co/iVtBWFSMDg
Academia hates Bitcoin because, as a professor explains, it "change[s] the question from, ‘What would I do if I controlled the money supply?’ to ‘Should... economists like me... control the money supply?’... [It's] disempowering to the economist thinker" https://t.co/vI104a1rzo
@clickityclack5 I would say "blockchain" is different, as it leaves a lot of room for discussing how the cryptoeconomics should work (not established & consistent like bitcoin) and dont currently challenge the state like bitcoin because they lack honeybadger qualities
