"It's what you can buy with what you've got that counts."
Scrooge McDuck, in 1967, explaining that, "Ah, inflation, that's a mess. It means your money is worth less and less. It would take a hat-full of $100,000, I dare say, to buy what your piggybank can buy today."

Using bitcoin to make purchases in a #Bitcoin economy would be exactly like using V-Bucks in a Fortnite economy or Robux in a Roblox economy.
V-Bucks are the in-game currency for Fortnite. You can use V-Bucks to purchase the following items: Outfits, Pickaxes, Wraps, Emotes, Battle Passes, Gliders, and Contrails.
Robux is the virtual currency used in the online gaming platform Roblox. It can be used to purchase a variety of in-game items and upgrades, including: Avatar accessories and outfits, Special abilities in games, Weapons, Other objects

Bitcoins are not mined, they are issued over time.
Out of all the misconceptions when it comes to #Bitcoin, the misconception that “miners” are creating “bitcoins” is probably the most asinine one.

"There has never been a government that didn't sooner or later try to reduce the freedom of its subjects and gain more control over them, and there probably will never be one... Therefore, instead of trying to convince our current government not to try, we'll develop the technology that will make it impossible for the government to succeed."

#Bitcoin: A Homie-to-Homie Digital Cash Vibe
Satoshi THE GOAT Nakamoto satoshin@gmx.com www.BitcoinForGenZ.org
Abstract. Yo fam, ever wish you could send cash to your crew without any bank drama or middleman vibes? Digital signatures are sick, but if you're still needing a trusted third party to stop double-spending, that’s just sus. We’ve got a GOAT solution for this mess using a homie-to-homie network. Here’s the tea: we timestamp transactions by hashing them into an endless chain of proof-of-work, creating a record that’s locked down tight. You gotta redo all the proof-of-work to mess with it. The longest chain isn’t just the ultimate proof of what went down; it’s also proof that it came from the most CPU power flex. As long as the majority of CPU power is with the legit squad and not some shady crew trying to wreck things, they'll keep the chain lit and outpace the attackers. The network is mad chill with minimal structure, messages get broadcasted on a “best effort” basis, and nodes can dip in and out whenever they want. They just vibe with the longest proof-of-work chain to stay on track.

Understanding the role of #Bitcoin is simple:
Either your ass controls your money or the government's ass controls your money.
It's that simple.

2024-07-21 00:13:03

Them: Can't the Bitcoin code just be changed to make more Bitcoins?
Me: You mean like the 7 people on the Board at the Federal Reserve (which controls money supply and interest rates) have always done?
Yes, the #Bitcoin code can absolutely be changed, just like The Fed can change the money supply and interest rates.
The real difference between Bitcoin and The Fed is:
- If the Bitcoin code gets changed to increase the supply of Bitcoins, NONE of the 19,000+ decentralized nodes are forced to accept the new code. Everyone gets a vote and it's 100% opt-in.
- When The Fed makes changes to the money supply and interest rates, every citizen is FORCED to accept it. No vote and no opt-out.

Dynamite is the volatile means in the beginning phase of a tunnel
Hammering is the volatile means in the beginning phase of sculpting marble
Ignition is the volatile means of rocket lift off
Price-discovery is the volatile means in the beginning phase of #Bitcoin’s fiat value
All carry volatile factors in the beginning phases

All of the examples I provided do *not* lead to a predictable outcome.
Dynamite killing workers or causing avalanche
Hammer chiseling off too much marble or causing unexpected cracks
Rocket exploding or having to abort or malfunctioning half-way to orbit
Bitcoin’s fiat price volatility is just as unpredictable, at least during Bitcoin’s price discovery phase.
As more people, corporations, banks, and countries adopt #Bitcoin, then volatility smooths out.

Every tunnel, every sculpture, every rocket launch is volatile at the beginning, just like Bitcoin’s fiat price volatility via price discovery.

2024-06-27 19:57:13

The price of #Bitcoin *should* be volatile, at least in the beginning in its price-discovery phase.
Carving a tunnel through a mountain? Volatile.
Chipping away at marble to create a sculpture? Volatile.
Lifting a payload into space? Volatile.
In the end, the tunnel is complete, the sculpture is finished, the payload is delivered.

I *think* I have this correctly in my head. Please correct any mistakes I’ve made.
Bitcoin transactions are broadcast to the Bitcoin network to be verified by the network of 19k nodes running Nakamoto Consensus rule.
If a transaction passes inspection, it’s bundled together with other transactions to be Proof-of-Work mined and added to the next Block in the Bitcoin blockchain.

Bitcoin’s price volatility is a good thing: Marketplace price discovery in action 💪
Weak hands vs strong hands.
Volatility smooths with adoption.

The volatility of #Bitcoin smooths as adoption increases.
And a longer time horizon reveals an ever-upward trend.

Appreciate the offer, but I’m not sure it would help. eNuts said I still have the legacy mint URL, that it was no longer being supported, and that I should use another mint. I’m not sure what my next step is to replace that legacy mint URL with another mint.
I did some Googling and found what I think eNuts means when they say that I need to find another mint: https://mintindex.gandlaf.com/

Inflation is a vampire.
#Bitcoin is the wooden stake through its heart.

1. Can you eat #bitcoin?
Absolutely not! Nor would you want to.
Why would anyone want to eat their Store of Value, Medium of Exchange or Unit of Account?
Nobody eats gold, oil or natural gas. Nor do they eat dimes, quarters or $100 bills. Nor do they eat paper checks, credit cards or gift cards.
2. Can you use Bitcoin as raw material?
Raw material to make what? Bitcoin is both the input *and* the finished product.
3. I don’t understand your premise that @npub15dq…lm5m is “changing the meaning of words, in this case confusing money and commodities.”

Totally agree. For a noobie custodial UX is easiest.
But I live in the United States and @npub1hcw…h9rq is no longer offered here. WoS decided to pull their app from the App Store instead of comply with KYC (or whatever regs it had to comply with). And I applaud them for that 🫡
At the birthday party I mentioned attending, we tried using Cash App, but the app required them to provide a government-issued ID to receive Bitcoin. And they didn’t want to do that.
So I had them install Phoenix Wallet.
I sent them $10 of Bitcoin on-chain (instead of via Lightning, because explaining Lightning and liquidity to a noobie at a birthday party was just too overwhelming for them).

@npub15dq…lm5m did *not* change the meaning of the word commodity. A commodity is an asset without an issuer, just like gold and oil.
The huge advantage that #Bitcoin has is that it’s a *digital* asset.
Along with Saylor, the SEC also deems Bitcoin to be a commodity:
“U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler has reiterated his claim that bitcoin (BTC) is a commodity.”
