Blessed by tech; working to bring the benefits to everyone. Freedom, incorruptible money, privacy.
College is now a shitcoin. If I had a choice between hiring a Harvard grad or someone with work experience and references, I would hire the latter every time. Yes, you need a degree for government licensed careers, but those are now political and soul destroying. Better to teach yourself with the free information online and then volunteer to gain experience. Do a good job and watch how doors open for you. image
We need to take our time to get this right. All protocol changes have risks and bitcoin is our hope for the future. Proponents must prove that their protocol change is both safe and necessary. Safe? I have still never seen anyone do a review and deep-dive of the non-technical risks of covenants. Necessary? We might have a scaling problem in the future but don’t have one yet. We should cross that bridge when we get there and assess all of our options at that time. Who knows what we will invent between now and then? image
This paper is incredibly well written. I have no doubt that bitcoin is constitutionally protected. But, really, that doesn’t matter. The constitution is just a piece of paper that is ignored daily without recourse. Government surveillance, civil asset forfeiture, lockdowns and vax mandates, etc. etc. It doesn’t matter if you’re right. If you do win, it will be decade from now and you’ll never recover your legal fees. They fight with the unlimited resources of the government and you fight with your own limited personal resources. Justice will be fleeting as they’ll just target someone else the next day. Nobody will be held accountable. Technology is the only solution. This is why we build. View quoted note →
Claims to support Ukraine. Doesn’t seem to mind that they’re being used by Western countries as cannon fodder. How many Ukrainians have died? Remember, there was a peace treaty almost signed and all they had to do was stay neutral. But UK and US killed the treaty to intentionally escalate the war. Thanks for the reminder. Going to donate to Zeus now. View quoted note →
I learned a cool trick in #rust recently. You can modify standard types like Mutex to give them superpowers. Like every time the mutex drops, you can get an event and do something with the data. So cool. 😎
