@BIforPeace@MuenzenMeister Because the first natural response from a German is to comply with whatever is being suggested: "wow, somebody just made new Rulez.. exzellent.. I hope this makes things more effizient"
@RMistereggen If I was the owner, I would also put in the room some design boards with texts:
“The best shower is the one you don’t take” in the bathroom.
“You will microwave ze bugs” in the kitchenette.
@RMistereggen Divest from these ”hotels” and let them go bankrupt. Sure there’s still good hotels. Good to support the family-owned boutique hotels instead of bleak corporations.
@Pledditor@PlebUnderground@BTCTKVR Yes @stephanlivera is great.
The guest rambles on about something incomprehensible and technical with a bad microphone, and then Livera just instantly summarizes it all in one sentence for us.
@alpha_pls Just stop using singlesig signers to secure billions and be more careful about what kind of collateral the protocol accepts.
DeFi works ok but it doesn't really scale easily.
Age verification on the internet is just a government scam to identify who is critical of the government on the internet.
Kids will find a way, and it's their parents responsibility to deal with it.
Digital ID must be pushed back or you will never have any privacy again.
@SimonDixonTwitt Simon, do you see the MiC escalating between Nato’s eastern front and Russia or just through the Ukraine proxy?
I see Russia rather slow-cooking Baltic states to get poorer, then regime changes them to do trade.
Does MiC have incentives to start a new regional war in Europe?
@hispanicnomad Not true. You can find some crazy good deals in these fearporn times.
Be prepared to have some flights cancelled or airlines going bust so maybe get a travel insurance or something.
@DudeJLebowski Sulaiman is great in his role asking the dumb questions and making Simon’s thinking clearer for us.
Why so much hate? Rather just appreciate that people are making that kind of content.
@PlanBpassport Comparing Germany to Ukraine is a bit of a stretch.
Non-zero chance sure and good to be prepared but that would be a direct kinetic war between a large Nato member and Russia.
The threshold for that kind of event to happen is much higher than February 2022..
Activist: "You're killing innocent animals."
Farmer: "I am."
Activist: "That's cruel."
Farmer: "Is it? They live outside, eat fresh grass, never know a predator, receive veterinary care, and die instantly without seeing it coming."
Activist: "But you kill them."
Farmer: "Once. After 18 months of comfortable life."
Activist: "They deserve to live."
Farmer: "They do live. Better than their wild ancestors who died of starvation, disease, or being eaten alive by wolves."
Activist: "At least that's natural."
Farmer: "Natural death is being disemboweled while conscious. My cattle get a bolt gun they never see. Which would you choose?"
Activist: "That's not the point."
Farmer: "That's entirely the point. You're romanticizing brutal deaths while condemning quick ones."
Upgrading Bitcoin to be quantum safe is no longer optional.
"but the threat is overblown!!"
All that matters is the perception of the threat.
And right now, the perception of the threat is enough to scare serious capital away.
Denial / ostrich mode on this is not going to help.
The good news is that a successful upgrade is a real bull catalyst for an asset starving for new bullish catalysts.
And it's something that is entirely in our control.
But we need rapid progress on this.
And that starts with all of us acknowledging the threat.
Or at the very least, acknowledging the reality of the perception of the threat.
The fact that we're below the 2021 highs after the most bullish developments imaginable (massive ETF inflows, non-stop buying from Saylor...) is proof that something is broken.
Quantum safe Bitcoin is a $1 million+ asset.
Quantum vulnerable Bitcoin is not.
Humanity needs finite money that cannot be seized or debased.
If quantum risk removes seizure resistance, then Bitcoin cannot fulfill its promise.
Simple as that.
