I’m always down to learn more and refine understandings I’ve gained over the years. Sounds good.
It’s kind of dick to tell someone they are being willfully ignorant when you don’t know anything about that person. I’m clearly not, if I’m willing to engage in a conversation about complex financial topics as they apply to unproven technologies and admit when I need to go back and refine my understanding. Quite the opposite of your assertion.

Maybe you and I are debating two different things.
Fedimints do not increase Bitcoin supply.
Fedimints take Bitcoin and turn it into ecash tokens that may be claimed for Bitcoin in the future. Fedimints may make more claims than they have Bitcoin. At that point the Fedimint is fractional reserve on the ecash. Some users will go to claim their Bitcoin and it won’t be there. To an regular user, their Bitcoin is gone.

2024-07-06 14:42:03

- reply

Agreed that people shouldn’t store large amounts on LN or Fedimint. Just like I don’t carry life savings in my pocket wallet.
Fedimint guardians are the only ones who know the overall liabilities of the mint, while individual users only know their portion. Total assets of the Fedimint are known, but not total liabilities.
There are a few different scenarios outlined on the fedimint.org site.

Lightning is not fractional reserve. Fedimint could be, which is why it’s pitched more as a spending cash project and not a place for your life savings. I’d consider Fedimint to be L3.

On the Nostr side, it’s interesting how many of these topics converge. Carnivores find nostr. Nostr users find Bitcoin. Bitcoiners find carnivore. We’re all searching for truth and longevity and come across these tools of freedom and empowerment.

I’d be up for that. I’ll keep a better log of progress and observations. Overall this has been easier than I expected. It’s the first “diet” that doesn’t feel like a chore. Maybe that’s because it’s what my body has been wanting this entire time.
My purpose in starting carnivore was not weight loss. I’m naturally on the thinner side. I’m doing it for the heart health, brain health, decrease in cancer risk, and then body composition. Heart problems, brain problems, and cancer have all stricken my family history.

When real life looks like AI art

2024-05-11 21:55:07

Once you get it in your mind that our society is eating an unhealthy mix of food, you start noticing how overweight everyone is.
Not throwing shade. Objectively looking at how different we are today from 100 years ago.
People socialize while eating. Naturally we eat what everyone else is eating. Hard to blame individual people for the state we’re all in. It’s scary to stand out and eat different.

2024-05-09 02:41:45

In case you’re not following along, the State of California has spent over $11 billion since 2008 to build a high speed rail system from Los Angeles to San Francisco. This week they posted their first completion.
1,600 feet. Of concrete. No rails yet.
This feels like an Ayn Rand novel.
You can tell they aren’t serious about the work, because there isn’t any other construction going on. It’s just one segment all alone. Equipment is all cleaned up, worksite dismantled.
If you were planning to build 700 miles of track, would you bring in every separate trade group to build one segment start to finish, send everyone home, and then call them all back one at a time for the next segment? Of course not. https://i.nostr.build/nW7Ka.jpg

Definitely get that. When you look at what’s right in front of you, go back to basics, it seems so simple. We evolved this way. In recent times we tried to completely change our diet and are seeing the negative consequences of it.
In my mind it all clicks, I’m hoping to find more empirical evidence rather than anecdotal evidence of personal testimonials. That said, all these testimonials are very encouraging.
Now does it have to be red meat all the time? How about chicken and eggs some days? I like the idea of red meat but might have to make a compromise in the meantime, ya know?

2024-04-19 19:07:54

What’s the most solid research out there to show that red meat 🥩 is safe to eat daily and not a harm to your health?
I hear this claim made but there are decades of research saying that it’s bad. I’d like to believe the claims and am ready to give carnivore diet a try but am getting resistance from loved ones because we have heart attacks in our family history.
Podcast interviews and YouTube videos aren’t enough. Links to studies super helpful.
