Consider the Samurai case. The government is willing to take everything away from devs who don't play ball. Now look at Tether. The government loves the power to freeze or hijack blockchain assets. Now consider devs arguing for any manipulation of Bitcoin, freezing quantum unsafe UTXOs (see my recent post for a laugh at these idiots) or rolling back objectionable content, doesn't matter. I can see only 3 explanations; suicidal, compromised, or too stupid to see the world's most obvious threat.

I heard saws. Ran outside and snagged myself another truck load of wood chips. #winning

What is the socially acceptable number of times to jump start a mower instead of replacing the dead battery? Asking for a friend.

Afroman did an interview with Reason this week where he talked about a potential presidential run in 2028.

Can you factor the number 21? How about 15? If I told you that quantum computers factored 15 in 2001, when would you guess they factored 21? The answer is that 25 years later they still can't do it. No quantum computer has factored the number 21. Why the hype? It isn't major breakthroughs. It is VCs marketing so they can flip worthless companies to idiots. Basic factoring is taught by 5th grade in American schools. An average 5th grader has a better chance of stealing Satoshi's coins with their brain than a quantum computer does. Selling Bitcoin for dollars over quantum fears? Tradfi lives on 4 digit pins, who is going to fall first?
