In principle, no.

As much as we all may like the man, gentle reminder that Bobby Kennedy Jr did not win the election. Trump did. Just saying, because based on the amount and type of RFK Jr content I'm seeing these past couple of days, it would seem many people believe he's the one taking possession in January and that it's his platform that's going to be implemented in full. And he hasn't even been nominated for any official position yet, let alone one so important as to require Senate confirmation.

I've no idea what their fees are like now, but I do know BTC's. If I think using BTC for retail and quasi-retail payment is already nonsensical, imagine using ETH. View quoted note →

I contend that sustained issuance is in fact GOOD for a cryptography- and blockchain-based currency like BTC. The function of currency is to be spent, not accumulated. As long as it depreciates at a moderate to slow pace, there is no downside or "robbery" in that. On the contrary, as coins get lost (that applies to physical cash too), they should be replaced with newly issued ones, to keep prices stable. In other words, an uncapped supply would be ideal or even required -- if you really want BTC to be currency. That idea is at odds with the concept of a store of value, which definitely requires and benefits from a capped maximum supply. So not only we must separate money and State, but also currency from store of value. View quoted note →

I have very short patience with cretins who want to play it cool replying with edgy oneliners AND refuse to get to the point if I decide to ask for further elaboration. If you have something to say, just fucking say it. I'm fine with opposing points of view. I'm not fine with fedora-wearing cunts who have watched The Joker too many times and think they can waste mine.

Florida passed the ballots on weed and abortion with similar numbers as Trump got. That is exactly my vibe. I'm seriously getting self-psyched now about the remote idea of moving there. This may actually end up happening.
