@jeoc42@LucassRice@Inhumansoflate1 Or how about a "private" entity (the fed) solely dictating the cost of capital?
We've been cherry picking and mixing various elements of command economies, and still calling it a free market, because there's usually at least few competitors not regulated out of existence
@theshanidarone @symyguy @cleaveraddict @Flamerpaper@imfuknlonely @AltHistCody In the last couple years, we've seen two countries invaded, and both their responses were to frantically loosen firearm restrictions and try to arm their citizens.
Still haven't figured it out?
Killing machines are quiet necessary if you don't want to be killed
@theshanidarone @symyguy @cleaveraddict @Flamerpaper@imfuknlonely @AltHistCody "Freedoms have never been infringed" lolol, where's my short-barreled fully automatic ar-15 to fight this existential threat?
@crypt0potamus@GXimus @JerLeff @MaoZeWrong @Timcast@fern Bitcoin is "collaboration," offered through consensus. "Crytpo" is a departure from this consensus, by inherently rejecting the discovery of digital scarcity.
You have big time missed the plot.
@crypt0potamus@GXimus @JerLeff @MaoZeWrong @Timcast@fern Lol, this guy. "Crypto" is the epitome of Marxism. Out of tens of thousands, practically all are walled gardens, front run by the founders and their VCs. Rules change at complete discretion of network "figureheads." Sound familiar? This is exactly what Bitcoin solved, silly.
@MSwohtz@SgtPotato3970@danielp_reid@ATFHQ Yes, change the subject.
Now, remember, a fedboi is a fedboi.
The fed steals value from your metric of such.
The ATF steals your means to defend such.
@mitchbrothers94 @Journeyman_Joe Most wallets are hierarchically deterministic, meaning a master pubkey is used to generate a new address for every transaction. As long as you don't compromise the pubkey, each address appears unassociated on chain.
Tools also exist to obfuscate UTXOs from compromised addresses
@GormandizerJazz@02OCT1835@Snakeeater36@MrGreenGenez Perhaps, a theoretical max of ~25,000 lives a year "saved" by gun control with regards to suicides. Meanwhile, there are no accurate statistics on lives saved via self defense with a firearm. The lowest estimate I've seen is 60k/yr.
@02OCT1835@GormandizerJazz@Snakeeater36@MrGreenGenez Let's also consider the fact that most "gun death" statistics include suicides, and often are the majority of cases. Rather disingenuous to claim guns cause suicides, and even more so to say a ban would prevent these "gun deaths"
@noahs_socks@cryptolimaa@0xgaut@BullCheatFR Nope. The invention of Bitcoin was THE invention of digital scarcity. It can not, and has not been replicated. That's the point. To make data (011001101) scarce, it necessarily means it can't be done again. Besides, monetary history has ALWAYS been a winner-take-all game.
