All this time, energy and theory for a non-existent threat that Bitcoin empirically falsifies 😵‍💫 How many blocks does it take for people to get it Brian?

💯

"vos sos un genio, no hay que apresurarse con soluciones que puedan comprometer la seguridad de la red, la verdad que losshitcoins quieren hacer las cosas rápido pero sabemos que Bitcoin es una obra maestra que requiere paciencia y dedicación".

I don’t know man. I want to get it, but I don’t have the horsepower so I don’t blame other people for missing this one too. I sincerely hope you’re right and I appreciate your voice in the mix.

You should find the horse power, because if you don’t understand time and what bitcoin empirically demonstrates, then you misunderstand the whole of it. I’m only asking you to recognize the temporal structure of Bitcoin. Blocks of time. Your perception and understanding of time dictates your cognition of reality/truth. I guess another question to try to spur your mind would be why are bitcoiners subservient to a model of physics that inherently defines double spent physically real states (Superpostion) yet point to Bitcoin as something value because it solved the double spend problem. Double spend problem = non-contradiction problem. If you allow contradiction to persist in and across time, you have no logic. The fear of quantum is the fear of the unlogical. Why does money (human energy) break if it’s double spent, but we allow a pass for our theories of physics to double spend physical states of energy/matter at the “fundamental” level? Make it make sense to me, this is what you are defending by believing the quantum bullshit.

I don’t necessarily believe the quantum risk is real. I just haven’t examined it enough to stand by a conclusion. My instinct is that the people trying to “fix it” have an agenda that is good for them but not for Bitcoin. I don’t have any formal education in physics so trying to reason through quantum issues from first principles is a heavy lift for me. I’m sure most people agree. I have pop science level knowledge about “the double slit experiment” and some dudes cat in a box, but without doing a deep dive I don’t think I can take a position on your claims and I don’t have time to do a deep dive. Doesn’t mean I don’t value them…it’s just a matter of personal priorities. Here’s what matters to me. Bitcoin is money that is decentralized and secure and I am incredibly skeptical of any BIPs. I am slow to adopt changes because this is the thing I store my life’s value in and I don’t want to inadvertently adopt someone else’s priorities that might undermine my intentions for my money. I have a feeling your ideas further support my view of Bitcoin and that if I do deep dive on them my conclusion would be “Bitcoin is money and we shouldn’t fuck with it.” Since that’s where I’m starting from anyway, it’s hard to run the laps to get back to the same place. If what you’re telling me is there’s a different conclusion I should draw and I need to understand your theory to get there, then paint me a picture of the destination so I can decide if it’s worth the trip. Much love!

Yes we definitely align views! I’m trying to prove from math/time/physics we don’t understand it, few are paying attention or willing to even engage. Don’t short yourself, it’s simpler than quantum; do you believe reality can uphold the truth/conservation of energy if it “double-spends” energy/matter at the smallest measurable/fundamental unit? If you say yes, you are contradicting your belief in Bitcoin. The answer is logical and that contradicts “quantum”. Bitcoin is the proof. You can’t double spend what you believe. I hope that makes sense.

Truth requires conviction. It can’t be two things at once. That checks out.
