Wall St gets to experiment and fail with “digital assets”, despite a legion of Bitcoiners telling them that it’s fake, gay, and retarded, because they are insulated from economic reality as a result of their preferred access to the money printer.
People are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with printed money to “experiment” and grift on something that will invariably fail, only to eventually learn what Bitcoiners taught themselves for free with podcasts and meditation.
You don’t hate central banking enough.
For now, I tolerate Bitcoiners who believe in magic because they’re a useful ally against the State. If you removed them, our cohort would be too small. But if given too much leeway as the State shrinks, they’ll commit atrocities all the same, in the name of their absurdities.
If we could make it so that LSP’s *can’t* rug you, then we’d be much closer to an end-ish state than people realize. Base layer primarily becomes a channel factory. Splicing, CISA and Payjoin could optimize that even further.
