I wrote a detailed explanation of Pay to Anchor and Ephemeral Dust: bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/126098/5406

We're organizing another Designathon in the Bitcoin Design Community, from May 4-18. Should be fun.

Cashu is a Chaumian Ecash system that uses David Wagner's ECC blinding scheme just like Privacy Pass does. cashu.space

Are single-user non-custodial cashu mints punished in an ecash world? If i were to run a mint because i want to still do self-custody lightning, would people even accept willbucks zaps? How does that work.

Cashu Are there ways to improve the trustworthiness of the central issuer (mint)?

Well, that's interesting in the #cashu Telegram.

Is anyone working on zaps for bsky?

What's up Bsky!

The mempool continues to be almost empty. The UTXO set peaked at 188M around Christmas and continues to trend down since. It has now fallen below 180M. Next block: 1.02 ṩ/vB+ #mempoolreport

This seems like a nice place

Money printing is NOT the cause for inflation. Corrupt capitalists are.

Study finance, get a leading role at Morgan Stanley, reform the corrupt capitalist system from within.

money was never meant to be decentralized

gave my phd exit seminar yayyyyy

I intentionally didn't buy Bitcoin in 2011 because it sounded like a scam back then, as it still does today (even more so).

No matter how much you defend Bitcoin or make arguments for it, I will never consider it moral or good. I've stayed away from it since the first time I heard of it in 2011.

People with higher moral standards don't own Bitcoin.

You own Bitcoin. I don't own Bitcoin. We are not the same.

STOP SPREADING LIES EVERYONE KNOWS THAT USING ENERGY IS BAD

money was never meant to be decentralized

eventually

Study finance, get a leading role at Morgan Stanley, reform the corrupt capitalist system from within.

Money printing does not lead to inflation. 2+2 != 5

Source is UN but I think they have it wrong. What matters is that Bitcoin was invented to do crime, whereas the Dollar has many legitimate use cases.

> This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe. It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch. Why?

'Resistance Money' is the first comprehensive, moderate, peer-reviewed evaluation of bitcoin. If you are a faculty member at a college or university and interested in using the book as an assigned text in your classes, drop me a line for a free review copy.

Satoshi had no clue about sociology – and it shows.

Bitcoin is extremely slow. If the Blockchain was issued by a single computer, it would be way faster and energy efficient. Why don't they do that? Because they don't understand computers.

Idea: put gold on a Blockchain.

That's why Bitcoin is unfit as a money. Its supply doesn't expand as the number of people living on this planet grows. The more people we are, the higher the chance that one of them finds new gold. As it should be in a healthy society. Study economics, crypto bros. Fixed supply is stupid.

It's unfortunate. Bitcoin allows criminals to use ransomware and evade sanctions – it also allows Afghani women to free themselves from patriarchy, and refugees to flee across borders. I'm sorry. The bad weighs heavier than the "good". There are other ways to free yourself (S&P500, gold, etc..).

Any day now. Save this post.

Stop pretending as if Bitcoin serves democracy and freedom! Stop!!!

Bluesky now has nutzaps. Disgusting! cashuBo2FteCJodHRwczovL21pbnQubWluaWJpdHMuY2FzaC9CaXRjb2luYXVjc2F0YXSBomFpSABQBVDwSUFGYXCBo2FhGCBhc3hANWI2YmE1ODQzOTg2NzViNjJmNDA1ZjBkODMzMGFjOTY2MzQ1OGM0ODQ5ZTI0NjM1NjViYWI0NGRjMjAzODFlOWFjWCEC-lhZTln7Xf1ECuSj6szDjv74SPk8erb-ixH6LDo9AYY

Yeah what Professor Doctor Calle PhD in paper money economics said!
