If you don’t live somewhere you can rely on the govt for basic services like police then you might wanna think twice before saying such services can be privatised without consequence…

You have a guarantee in developed countries that you can call the cops and they’ll probably come. This is one of the primary reasons most of the world goes through hell to try to emigrate here. Looking around at countries that use the private security model and we have South Africa? How’s that working out?

So people say the ‘collapse’ of the fiat system and transfer of traditionally wealthy people’s wealth to bitcoiners, that these people will let this happen without violence or at the very least loathing of us…

To be clear that mainly applies to twitter not on here. But that could be a function of greater numbers on Twitter

I guess I’m saying that it phrase ‘fiat collapse’ actually happening would not be good even for bitcoiners

2023-07-09 09:14:40

Yeah but aren’t we assuming no taxes? So everyone has to instantly get private security. In other words there would be some unknown period where there was no security

2023-07-09 09:00:43

I really think the next step after all deciding bitcoin is probably better is starting to talk about an orderly roadmap from fiat to bitcoin. Balaji’s work is the best example of this so far.

2023-07-09 08:58:24

We’re always talking about the benefits of a collapse of fiat but not the negative effects. You don’t go from 90% police protection (in most countries) to 100% private overnight. So what if the intervening period is 50 years? That’s nothing in the scheme of humanity. No one is talking about this

‘Less bonds more cash and gold’- balagi. This is actually profound. Most of us think of cash as govt monopoly but, what if massive banks issued their own cash/ token?

One of the best things about twitter/nostr etc is that you can have someone like a tweet/ post and you see it and then realise that you can post more stuff and not have it drown out earlier ideas

That’s not the danger, as I understand it, of a 51% attack. The danger is an entity (government/ hackers etc) seizing the hashpower of those 50 miners (which is getting even more centralised over time) and then forcing a change to the base layer.

2023-07-07 01:44:18

It’s 50 entities, a lot operating under the laws of one jurisdiction. There are 100 times more fiat banks in the USA than that…

Sure. How would governments survive if we only used bitcoin? How would they raise tax revenue? What about power/ internet outages that shut down wallets? What if the bitcoin baselayer was hacked? How will miners survive after all coins are mined? What if the US govt seized 51% hashing power from large US based miners and did a 51% attack? If govts just made bitcoin illegal and retroactively capital gains taxed citizens

2023-06-19 11:28:28

Maybe the person you should really be with is also with someone they should’t probably tolerate but they too are pretty scared to leap over to something that looks better on the surface but may well not be.
