Can we get a @gladstein vs Warren debate? I want to see Alex rip her a new one as she comes out as a closet authoritarian.

#reddit #bitcoin sub has been completely taken over by ETF dick suckers. For the first time in a while, I'm afraid for bitcoin's future. Someone show me the hope I need to continue believing.

If I remember correctly how to do basic algebra, then Grayscale can give up 542k of its 633k Bitcoin holdings to the other ETFs before it loses money by having a 1.5% fee instead of a 0.25% fee. They honestly made the right call from a business perspective.

@Guy Swann 's ability to seamlessly transition from an impassioned diatribe against the fractional reserve system to a calm and collected exposition on the general concept of usury is both informative and entertaining.

Question for the community: Assuming you are storing your funds in a 3-of-5 multisig wallet and you don't plan on using/selling for another 10 years, what do you think should be your smallest UTXO size that you should keep? What size is not going to be completely decimated by fees when you actually try to spend them?

Trying to transition from @Wallet of Satoshi to #getalby but every time I #zap, my phone still pulls up WOS to make the payment. Can someone walk me through the steps to connect getalby to #amethyst?

@Guy Swann, I dare you to boost me or reply. Where bitcoiners go wrong with modern health accusations (seed oils, vaccines, etc) is that they are trying to apply praxeology to a field that is not conducive to doing so. Praxeology makes sense in economics: you can deduce so much about the economy just by making a few simple assumptions about human action. However, you can't make any assumptions in medicine based on the supposed mechanism of how a vaccine works. Unless you have god-like understanding of how ALL the molecules, proteins, genes are going to react to a medicine, food, vaccine , etc, then you have to rely on data in aggregate from studies to inform your thinking. Praxeologists want to believe because a vaccine has a miniscule heavy metal in it that in large amounts causes brain damage, that this must mean it is the cause of the increased rates of autism. But the funny thing is that the same people then like to quote statistics to help their cause as well. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. Statistics can easily be molded to fit a narrative and it's been seen over and over again that people will quote correlative studies claiming causation. Are the rates of autism going up? Yes. Is there likely an environmental cause? Yes. But there have been so many more environmental factors happening in the last half century other than just vaccines: pesticides, pollution, PFAS, processed food additives, etc. All those things should be fought against. I'm on your side on that one. But at least vaccines have an intended benefit of preventing childhood illnesses like polio. So please send me your study that definitively links or at the least plausibly correlates vaccines and autism; I'd love to be educated. Just don't send me the one that got this all started by Andrew Wakefield, who was found to have falsified his data to try and prove a correlation between MMR vaccines and autism. I'm a bitcoiner through and through, but let's not conflate Bitcoin maximalism and pseudoscience.
