Ideas for team Trump:
**they don’t actually have the fortitude to do this **
Year One: slowly pivot away from crypto/bitcoin over concerns about strength of the US dollar + complain about dems/swamp/admin-state friction; lose regulatory battles
Years 1-3: secretly print USD and stack bitcoin
Year 3-4: Leak that you’re pivoting, back and “working on” legal tender law for Bitcoin
✅US treasuries dump
✅nation State FOMO ✅price to insane levels
✅US remains strong

Everyone’s a scammer. Keep it simple. Take individual personal responsibility. Work. Produce value. Save in bitcoin. Self or collaborative custody. Wait. Those looking for yield, looking for ways to further financialize Bitcoin, or those that allow others to hold their private keys will eventually lose.

2024-09-28 00:51:20

Code is speech. But code that transmits value is money. Bitcoin is reified information. This is novel.
Fighting exclusively on the *code is speech* front alone will not suffice. When facing jail time or personal ruin, individual devs or CEOs will bend the knee. Julian Assange is a rare outlier. Even the most dedicated, will look out for themselves when push to the edge.
Bitcoin is money. Full stop. Separating money from state is the movement.
The fight has to be about money.
IMHO the best strategy will be to orange pill as many politicians as we can - as individual US citizens - and push for legal tender.
Same logic: when politicians own personal wealth and well-being is on the line they will choose themselves over others. None of them are loyal enough to protect the US dollar to the end. We need to leverage the selfishness in all of us to win.

Private Public key cryptography.
I barely understand it.
Check out learnmeabitcoin
“In short, the unique s value provides a pathway for getting to the randomly-generated point r.
You can give these two pieces of information to someone else, and starting from the public key point Q they can use the s value to help them get to the random point r. The trick here is that only the person with the corresponding private key d could create a valid pathway to this random point provided by s.
This pathway also has the message hash z encoded in to it, which is what effectively allows us to create signatures for messages; nobody can create the pathways from the public key to a random point on the curve via the message hash without knowing the private key it was created from.”

💯 Was just taking the opportunity to communicate how we should think about security - IMHO. It took me a long time to get here. It’s essentially Pierre Richard view, that I now feel like I grok. One problem with my take is those censoring will not in general be paying fees to censor, they will use other forces/resources. But the way around the *censorer* ?sp? is to pay more fees in SATs or pay out of bounds. Either way money flows to the miners. Theoretically anyone can mine, and if you can make a profit, people will plug-in.

2024-09-11 16:07:31

There is not a low fee security problem.
The systems is elegantly Responsively Resistant. Waiting for an *attack*
Fees will spike in response to degens/spammers/scammers AND TO *attacks* from those censoring transactions. The sudden lucrative fees incentivize more mining.
The attackers *mostly* have to pay in miners in SATS and they know this. Gets too costly. *attackers* run out of resources. Fees fall back to baseline.
Like the toughest kid in the schoolyard. Rarely has to fight.
Or a massive militarized border that never fires a shot.

“Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else.
But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them.”

Hard work + low time preference mindset:
✅ I may have to pay more to get my transaction into a block - NP, I can wait or pay
✅ i’m already out producing all the dens/spammers/scammers - they will eventually get priced out of transacting
✅ I can also wait longer than six confirmations
✅ if hashrate is half of what it is now, the difficulty adjustment - like magic - keeps coin mission Q 10 minutes
✅ if censored, spammed, or attacked, then the fee market will spike, incentivizes anyone with access to ASICs and energy to come back online
✅ resetting at a lower hash rate could redistribute hashing to the plebs away from the more centralized big players

“Beyond the financial case for Bitcoin, its rise as a non-sovereign store of value will have profound geopolitical consequences. A global, non-inflationary reserve currency will force nation-states to alter their primary funding mechanism from inflation to direct taxation, which is far less politically palatable. States will shrink in size commensurate to the political pain of transitioning to taxation as their exclusive means of funding. Furthermore, global trade will be settled in a manner that satisfies Charles de Gaulle’s aspiration that no nation should have privilege over any other:
**We consider it necessary that international trade be established, as it was the case, before the great misfortunes of the World, on an indisputable monetary base, and one that does not bear the mark of any particular country**
50 years from now, that monetary base will be Bitcoin.”
