Just giving you a hard time. Besides, I'm just happy we got you to acknowledge that BTC is a superior store of value. Frankly, that's as far as I'm willing to go myself. I've said on here many times I'm not sure that BTC is ever going to be "everyday money"- but I don't think it needs to be...

Tell chat gpt to make its answers more concise 😄

So funny, you're practically quoting Lyn Alden's broken money theory here. You just haven't made the last step to understanding why (based on what you yourself have said) btc is a superior store of value. To be fair it take some really smart people a long time to come around, but almost...

Me too- but they get a surprising number of things right. To an extent, it tracks that a system that makes people literally put their money where their mouth is would be more reliable than the typical talking heads, who can just push whatever narrative they want without real consequences for...

BTC bucking QQQ and following gold so far today. Going to guess it's bc the QQQ drop is being largely driven by govt shutdown fears and BTC is sovereign resistant

I mentioned Lyn Alden, she takes it one step further. Alden argues that money is ultimately an accounting system; a ledger that tracks who owes what to whom. In primitive economies, this ledger was mental or social (“I gave you a goat, you owe me a favor”). With the rise of markets, that...

Since we are on the topic, going to throw this out there: https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Money-Financial-System-Failing/dp/B0CG83QBJ6 Strong recommend. One of the best non-fiction books ive read in years. You don’t have to like BTC to enjoy it, either.

Going to say this one last thing. Happy to continue the conversation after this, but i think we should move it to the crypto thread: The idea that “Bitcoin can be restricted by governments” is true, but it’s even more true of fiat, because fiat doesn’t exist without government permission in the...

Double post

Played PF1 extensively and every version of dnd out there. Was thinking of trying PF2 myself and watched this. Found it pretty damn insightful

Ok so it sounds like our real argument is: I think BTC is sovereign resistant but not sovereign immune, and that it doesn't need to be immune to be a better currency than fiat. You think it's not sovereign resistant, and therefore it's not better than fiat. Fair?

Going to stop you right there. That's not my quote and that's not what I mean. Go back and look again. Stop changing the words in my quote lol. Dick move. Here you go, my original quote: "Because bitcoin is decentralized, it is largely beyond the reach of government manipulation." See the...

The whole "but what if the government bans it" argument has been around forever, so it's not surprising to see it, but if you're paying even a little bit of attention to the news it has never been less relevant

Don't want to get into a retarded argument, but fwiw I'm not shifting goal posts. Look back at what I said- I said BTC was "largely beyond the reach of government manipulation." What I mean is (unlike fiat), BTC is immune to a lot of the fuckery that governments can do with the fiat-based...
