Separate money and state. The rest is a distraction.

It blew my mind that Chainalysis was on a few panels at Plan B El Salvador (sponsored largely by Tether/Bitfinex). Such mixed signals . . .
And now even Strike is engaging in shotgun KYC.
Self custodied Bitcoin is the only way out of this.
Heros all eventually get bought off by the system.

On Insurance: Most insurance is a rent seeking scam today. Life insurance is in many ways a scam targeting poor people who don't save. Homeowners insurance is a complete scam, "required" if you have a mortgage (sadly, almost everybody). Rates increase ~12%/year even if you have 0 claims for 20 years. Car insurance (except liability and UM) is also a complete scam, unless you suck at driving or like to chase deer and fiat-financed your car at a stealersip (again, then required). Providing 'safety' feelz to the non savers in exchange for the monthly vig.
There is a reason all the high rises are built by insurance companies and banks: it is a massive rip off - where the house makes Vegas casinos rake look like Mother Theresa.
Sorry, I enter the conversation skeptical🤣.
How does the $5 Wrench attack insurance pencil out? $X per $ thousand per year/month? Is it actually underwritten to the individual and their risk profile? Not sure. So after a big hack, will they jack rates across the board ("Katrina was the excuse for about 5 years to raise rates in the great plains)? Finally, as I understand it from the pod shilling, after the ransom claim is paid you forfeit your Bitcoin to that extent anyway. Sure, there's some narrow use cases where it might help . . .

Agree with many of the rebuttals . . . Bitcoin's Achilles heel now is MOE. Lightning UX really sucks for the average casual user.

Understanding radios is kinda like Bitcoin: it can be counter-intuitive and you absolutely have to 'do the work'. But once you understand that the electro-magnetic spectrum is a continuum of faster and slower vibrations that includes visible light and sound, you realize it's beautiful and God-like.

I am hoping that the state, which kills literally everything it touches, stays as far away from Bitcoin as possible. Just look at how the "embracing" of weed has negatively impacted Colorado . . . hundreds of millions more in annual tax-grift for bloat and corruption.

Infrastructure is generally beautiful, except windmills which, where I live, convey central planning, theft, corporate grift, resource waste, statism, and pollution. Nothing free or beautiful about them.

Unpopular opinion: the UX of setting up a lightning node (routing channels, etc.) sucks and hasn't improved in the 3 years since I started with it.

So true. After decades of knowing our money ain't shit . . . eureka moment in 2012. Tried to spread the good word, but have only been able to orange pill one or two since. Now I never talk about it unless specifically asked. 99% of people are blinded by the inflationists' gas lighting and a lifetime of false learnings about money. That is how early we still are.

China was a toxic environmental wasteland already in 1986 when I first traveled through the country. US and Euro environmental lawfare proponents who haven't visit that country don't even know they are pissing in the wind. Private land ownership and tort common law remedies are the only solution.

Kennedy asked the same question: why do we borrow our own currency? Issued executive order 11110 . . . allowing the Treasury to issue currency (red seal notes). His days were numbered.

Good list. For those who don't get why he included Ukraine: it is and has been a giant money laundering operation for our politicians and the MIC.

Yes. NFTs represent a centralizing attack surface, and Bitcoin itself was invented to CENSOR out all the fiat/shitcoin noise. (I know, most shitcoiner monkey-inscriber maxis hate that word).

The big-blockers and New York agreement proponents are now commonly referred to as attackers. At the time, it wasn't as clear. I think it could become so.

The small block design played a key part in Bitcoin's anti-fragility as a decentralized, global digital money. In short (and to use an unpopular word) . . . to CENSOR out large spam files that might be posted by attackers which could interfere negatively with the decentralized money use case. By their actions the spammers now exploiting the segwit/taproot vulnerability show they do not understand the magnitude of the global fiat problem that Bitcoin can solve. Bitcoin will not work as a global, decentralized Dropbox jpeg storage system.
There is no middle-of-the-road take on this issue.
