#bitcoin this morning.

Integration into the financial system doesn't mean it has been "captured." Love the quotes, by the way. They suggest it isn't you saying it while you're saying it.
Meanwhile, your complexity assertion (can't call it an argument bc you make no points) is cope. Price is an indication of demand. All cheap things are cheap for the same reason. People don't ascribe value to it or find its properties compelling.

Yes because seizing your keys is the only way they can ruin your life. If the govt feels threatened by a movement, it will seek to destroy it in the most aggressive ways. If they seized your family, you're going to think long and hard about how much those keys are really worth. I can't believe 6,000 years into this people still haven't learned.
I seems to me Saylor is trying to reassure institutional investors that there are solutions that minimize the threat to the govt. He isn't telling you to give up your keys.

Corporations are going to use custodial services. Family offices are going to use custodial services. Pensions and retirement funds are going to use custodial services. This is Saylor's audience in the interview.
Where did he say individuals buying bitcoin should use a custodial service?

The weather patent info has already posted in this thread. Thing is, you're the one who decided to set the bar about what "too far" is, and yet at the end of the day, all you can say about it, is " evidence, pleeese." There are a hundred ways you can get more info on this topic, but you'd rather mock because it's easier than thinking.

They will create a phony monetary system.
They will start wars for profit.
They will tell your children to cut their parts off (and help them do it).
They will lower your kids' IQ with fluoride.
They will force you to take a vaccine.
They will give people syphilis.
They won't tell you who the pedophiles are.
They will actively work to destroy your family.
They will flood towns with crack, heroine and fentynal.
They will allow millions of criminals into your country.
They will block aid to Americans.
But you trust them when they say they don't manipulate the weather?

I agree. They act like it will create havoc, but so-called revelations of Satoshi's identity have never moved the needle. I suppose they could try to discredit whoever they ID, but that has no bearing on bitcoin's network stability and functionality.
At worst, it gets a bunch of coverage right before the election and then drops off the radar when there are more interesting things to discuss.

Why would I buy microstrategy if I can buy bitcoin?

I listened to the interview and thought that people with capital aren't going to be incentivized to invest it in companies or govts if they can make more just holding the bitcoin.
Even if the regulatory structure isn't here now to make it easy, people with capital will be incentivized to demand it.
You'll have to absolutely love a company or country to give it your bitcoin because you will be poorer if you do.

The thing is, the war on the people has intensified to the point where most of those living in entrenched poverty have children who have no hope. The last thing will be for the state to send them off to a hot war to die.

Have you seen Americans living in poverty? There's a lot more going on there than just bad ideas. It's bad health, dependence, illiteracy, addiction, unemployment, broken homes...This was warfare on them, and they lost.

I'm not sure I can respect people who have faith in the system. The system is designed to make the people poor, sick, dependent, and complacent. At best they are naive, in which case I pity them.

Even more specifically, it's a cult.
It has doctrine that makes it look legitimate, but then there are always features that veer away from culture.
It has secret info you can't know unless you are loyal and rank up.
It has rules that separate people from mainstream culture.
It requires missionary zeal that transcends virtue.
It threatens harsh punishments for those who don't contribute to it.
It doesn't allow you to leave without giving up most of what you have.

In many parts of the US we pay property tax. Over the course of the mortgage, you can easily pay 150k-300k in taxes. Then add on to it, interest on the loan, and you are underwater on the house's value. A 500k house has to be worth more than double by the time you sell to break even. Plus the property taxes follow the house value up and don't stop after the house is paid off. Taxes and interest can be a deal killer. The better investment is bitcoin in my book.

Energy consumption isn't a demon unless your total energy cost is low enough that a single centralized entity can easily capture the hash power. This is the problem with a small "efficient" miner base, distributed or not. When I say security, I'm thinking about network integrity, not opsec. In this case, the biggest network with the most individual miners wins.

2024-07-05 12:54:37

- reply

The point was the ease with which an entity could reach the 51% level. Not that it was a pool. If you have a smaller number of total miners, it is easier for hostile groups to attack the network. This effect is made worse when mining is unprofitable. There's so much hash power on the bitcoin network that the cost to capture enough of it for a 51% attack is massive. This along with the tens of thousands of nodes that would have to accept the eventual rewrite of the blocks and wouldn't keeps the network secure.

It's a lot less than 10%. On average, Monero's daily transactions are 5-7% of #bitcoin's in the last year, which means significantly lower hashrate. It is much easier for a well-funded entity to execute a 51% attack on Monero; in fact, that's why supporters of Monero asked miners to leave pools in 2022.
