We have Dad's life-time of hand-written sheet music. He's been writing since he was a teenager, including a composition for piano, voice, and violin that he (piano), Mom (voice), and a violinist played at their high school graduation in 1957.
There are hundreds of compositions.
I bet his entire collection could be scanned, feed into A.I., and transformed into music that can be listened to.
Rest in peace, Dad 💛 March 27, 2025
I *think* I have these basics correct:
Bitcoin is code, written in C++ just like Adobe Photoshop.
Bitcoin is a protocol just like the Internet (TCP/IP, HTTP) and email (SMTP).
Bitcoin is distributed just like BitTorrent.
Bitcoin is a ledger.
Bitcoin's monetary policy consists of a fixed supply of units with disinflationary issuance until total supply is met.
Apple AirTags are used by bad people for nefarious reasons.
Bitcoin is used by bad people for nefarious reasons.
Bad people using tech is no reason to pass laws limiting or outlawing Apple AirTags or #Bitcoin.
If you’re rich and own assets, inflation kicks ass.
If you’re poor and own zero assets, inflation will kick your ass.
Like a giant fart from fiat’s ass. Silent but deadly for some. A dirigible for others.
Bitcoins are not mined, they are issued over time.
Out of all the misconceptions when it comes to #Bitcoin, the misconception that “miners” are creating “bitcoins” is probably the most asinine one.
