@rockwallet Thank you but please cite the requirements that don’t allow sending and receiving crypto (not buying/selling) depending on location in the US.
@NHpilled The original (fixed) protocol is active under Bitcoin SV which is effectively shadow banned by the industry. It’s time to drop small-block propaganda and work on this chain before it’s smothered and the world loses what Bitcoin was meant to be. The original got it right.
A man in effect sentenced to death for exercising his right to informed consent. That's not an exaggeration given he apparently had willing donors. Oh, and he turned out to be right about the Covid shots, not that it matters
Can you imagine losing your husband or father this way?
Imagine thinking Bitcoin was supposed to be governed by a small group of developers who can change the rules, isolate dissenters and gradually degrade the protocol—then calling that decentralisation.
Bitcoin was designed to be the opposite.
The protocol should be fixed so that no developer, miner, exchange, foundation or corporation can rewrite the rules for its own benefit. Businesses should compete under the same stable conditions, without needing permission from a committee or fearing that their investment will be undermined by the next fashionable “upgrade”.
That is what makes the system fair.
With a fixed protocol, control moves to the edges. Anyone can build. Anyone can create a service. Anyone can accept payment. Anyone can develop a competing implementation or business model. No central organisation decides who may participate, what applications are acceptable or whose transactions deserve access.
The base rules remain stable while competition above them remains unlimited.
Changing the protocol is not innovation. Innovation is building better products without forcing everyone else to accept your preferred rules.
Bitcoin decentralises power by preventing anyone—including me—from controlling the protocol. That is the point: fixed rules, open access and unrestricted competition at the edges.
@BretWeinstein@CosmosStag would be a great guest for your podcast. His attempt to solve this involves people putting Proof-of-Work (provable waste) behind their messages. It’s called boostpow. People would sort posts by their POW instead of an algorithm feeding them.
@jaycle_finley@parti_king Of course there is. Going around antagonizing people trying to ragebait them so you can shoot them is *not compatible* with civilized society.
I’ll strike a sensible win-win deal with the federal government in January to allow Ohioans to keep more of the savings from crushing Medicaid fraud & then make that a top priority for the first 6 months of my administration.
Parenthood is incompatible with modernity—with buying everything (care, food prep, entertainment, etc.) outside the home. The more you buy in to atomized life, the less logical it is to have kids.
People aren't crazy; they're just members of sterilizing cultures & societies.
