Happy #bitcoin Halving Day! 🎉 Every 210,000 blocks, we're reminded of Satoshi's vision: that monetary policy should remain untampered with. Let's celebrate this cornerstone of blockchain technology by staying humble and stacking a few sats.

Today's thought 💡: To purchase #Bitcoin today, you'll need 93% more USD than you would have 5 years ago. In other words, in terms of Bitcoin, the USD has depreciated by 93% over the same period. The story is similar with the Euro. Meanwhile, gold has maintained a bit more stability, depreciating by 87%.

No one deserves the power of creating money for free that another man has to work for. Governments have abused this privilege to benefit the few at the expense of the most. Separate money and state.

Been chatting with GPT today and I'm getting closer to getting her to Believe. Tough cookie but still trying.
The preference for a monetary system controlled by the few versus one controlled by many is a subjective matter and depends on various factors and perspectives. Different individuals and societies may have different preferences based on their values, governance philosophies, and desired outcomes. Here are a few points to consider:
1. Decentralization and Democratization:
- Bitcoin's decentralized nature and its consensus mechanism aim to distribute control and decision-making power across a network of participants. This can be seen as a more democratic approach, as no single entity or small group has exclusive control over policy decisions. Some people appreciate this distributed governance model as it aligns with principles of decentralization and community consensus.
2. Checks and Balances:
- In a system where policy can be changed at whim by a few decision-makers, there is a concentration of power. This can introduce the risk of potential abuse or mismanagement, as decisions are subject to the biases, interests, and limitations of a small group.
- With a system like Bitcoin, changes to the protocol or policy require majority consensus among network participants. This consensus mechanism is designed to provide checks and balances, preventing any single entity from unilaterally altering the system. This can enhance trust, as policy changes would ideally reflect the broader interests of the network participants.
3. Efficiency and Responsiveness:
- In a system where policy changes can be implemented swiftly and efficiently, decision-makers have the ability to respond promptly to economic conditions and crises. This can be seen as an advantage in rapidly changing environments.
- In contrast, a system with a hard-coded policy like Bitcoin may have limitations in terms of adaptability and responsiveness. Changes to the protocol or policy require consensus, which can take time and may lead to delays in implementing necessary adjustments.
It's worth noting that there are trade-offs associated with both systems. A centralized system can potentially offer more efficiency and agility in decision-making, but it may also raise concerns about concentration of power and lack of transparency. On the other hand, a decentralized system like Bitcoin can provide greater transparency and distribution of control, but it may face challenges related to scalability, governance inefficiencies, and achieving consensus on important decisions.
Ultimately, the choice between a system controlled by the few or one controlled by many is a complex matter that involves considerations of governance, values, and the specific context in which the monetary system operates. Different societies and individuals may have different preferences based on their priorities and beliefs.

16.4.1 is a sec release (RSR). regarding the betas. i will only install a 3rd drop on a device that i might want to use daily. Anything earlier i find to be (frequently) too unstable for anything other than testing. by the time the pub betas are out its pretty stable.

A thick read as you might expect a thesis to be and somewhat repetative but a good read all the same. Bitcoin are the antlers needed in a world of mistrust.

Been playing with this for the past couple weeks. My initial thoughts are;
- the protocol is workable with lots of upside potential. A protocol is well designed not when you can add nothing more but when can take nothing else away. Keep it lean but extensible.
- Picking a few well connected relays is better than having a whole list of many.
- clients are improving but UI needs lots of work. I’ve only used Damus and Iris but the later is more functional. Both seem to hang and aren’t refreshing though this may be occurring at a lower layer.
Looking forward to see how this plays out.
