"Jimmy and I agreed there is no economic incentive to use bigger up returns, right? so it's basically two sides of a coin. If nobody's going to use it, we should not enable it or we are not worried about enabling it, right? But either way, if nobody's going to use it, it's probably a pretty marginal issue." - @Murch I would say that there's no *obvious* economic incentives to use OP_RETURN, not that there were none. And this is an important difference. To say that there are none is to say that you know all possible future things that people might use it for. I don't think anyone can know that. h/t nostr:nprofile1qqsp8julj9f9zszxqw32chzpspd45n090a3sypdrt8lajh9pzuumzvcpg3mhxw309a5hzumxxumx27nedac8xdn6wphxjerswdm8xvnvv96xucnwvdek5ut60f3xjdndd3erxdrs0p4rgmn8xe382uts09jzummwd9hkutcpzamhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcumgvjw

There's a thin line between being charitable and making excuses for other people.

Despite the prevalence of GLP-1 drugs, you can still tell how much self-control and agency people have just by looking at them.

The Neocon schtick is so tiresome.

Contemporary content is all slop that's made to dull you or propagandize you. Pay for what you value or become a zombie of their making. Your choice.

Community drives this platform, for better or for worse.

You can lead a horse to water. But he won't drink until he understands that water is what will quench his thirst.

Hot Thanksgiving Take: Weight loss drugs will have way more impact than AI over the next 10 years. Even Hotter Take: AI is a much bigger bubble than Bitcoin ever was.

Propaganda is an enormous security hole in democracy.

You can tell a lot about a people by what it holds sacred, or what you're not allowed to question. Mostly, it exposed who's really in charge.

Holding during a downturn is a lot like holding your ground after getting punched in the face.

Your results cannot hide behind good intentions.
