If people do not have truth as the highest value they will not learn how to discover and separate wishful thinking, sweet lies and propaganda from truth. As such they can not create a just society instead it will become corrupt just like themselves. Justice can only exist if truth truly matters.

Guess What Happened Today?

After I posted on social media that Oscar Health has denied my daughter's life saving medication that she needs to live, medication she needs due to an incurable disease that is fatal if not treated—guess who called?

Cryptocurrency defend against tyranny, prevent tyrants from silencing people by threatening 2 turn of their bank accounts.
US have been good at taking down criminals abusing it.
If u buy it at an KYC AML exchange, that shouldn't be the case. They prefer more anonymous cryptos

Decrease risks of war.
Though I undertand that none of that is important to u.
What u are against, is crypto as a way to gain more fiat. The fiatNumbersGoUp bros, wrongly called cryptobros.
U are a simple girl, better u n ur friends stay happy n ignorant on such adult difficult topics.

yourneighbourscat.bsky.social @yourneighbourscat.bsky.social · Feb 12

/s I can understand u. Most is scam to get fiat.
But if everyone can make their own personal money, it might decrease inequality. It gives people negotiating power against banks abusing their monopoly. It can prevent dictators from silencing populations by threatening to shut down their accounts.

Good girl! Women should stay unknowning about crypto, it's too powerful, like the women in afghanistan who used it to bypass men and take ownership of their own money. They should stay obedient and under economic surveillance, especially feminists. Block grls like Natalie smolenski n Veronika Kütt

Name 5 uses of a book that doesn't require reading it.

Crypto bros is another word for fiat bros.

Wow, so that's how you see men dressed in spiderman suits, they are all just the same to you.

I have rather read criticism from bitcoiners about that.

The way I see it, bitcoin was created as a freedom tool, critic of banks and better form of digital money by Satoshi. In 2017 investors begun entering when they understood it could increase a lot in value

I don’t support a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and neither should you

Cool.

I think I borrow it, it's the best form a flattering.

I'm doing it when I'm winning and losing.
Gives me a good reason to explain why I never play it.

Owning someones currency could give people a stake in that persons life thus wanting them to succeed. Not talking about politicians. And as such it could actually unite people causing them to help each other more?

Or maybe it is a shitty idea. That will cause more conflicts between people?

yourneighbourscat.bsky.social @yourneighbourscat.bsky.social · Feb 10

If people could issue verifiably their own official limited in amount coins, it could democratize money. Could reduce inequality in society as even poor could do it.
Meaning anyone could issue money n people could exchange n pay each other in their own currencies.

U discredit your self when u throw in a lot of BS. U don't think people can see through BS like: "cash has universal acceptance" No, it doesn't. Try take cash to another country n see if they will accept in a store. They wont.
Satoshi specifically designed btc to be only created through mining.

Not saying all priests are conmen. Most are nice people. But those highpriests or rulers that created the story of a god was conmen. A god would care about every human that was living.
But u just need to see a child with cancer to understand that there is no god. Or study the history of gods.

have good access to contraceptives.
And at the same time make sure fusion energy is the main focus of research.

yourneighbourscat.bsky.social @yourneighbourscat.bsky.social · Feb 10

creates an increase risk of war, if countries want to fight over control of resources that become scarce due to overpopulation.
So what humanity probably needs to do to prosper is to make sure earth is not overpopulated, which is probably quite simple, we just need to make sure everyone

The most important thing humanity can probably work on is fusion energy. If fusion energy is achieved humanity can move into a post scarcity world. Where everyone can have good housing, don't have to work much. It probably also requires though that we do not overpopulate the earth.
Overpopulation

This doesn't mean I think one should invest in crypto, most are scams. But one should neither dismiss all of them with bad arguments which many do.
The biggest problems with crypto even those few that may not be considered scams, is probably the same as with fiat, the unfair distribution.

PoS means that most new coins are minted to those that are rich enough to have lots of coins staked. Which means they can lock up even more coins when they get new coins as such they can go on and it creates a greater inequality. Also means they get new coins for free while others pay for them.

How would that be possible with a blocksize of 1mb?
Only 500k can transact per day if people or companies transact on average say one a month then the network only support 15 million users. So even if everyone uses the lightning network and just settles once a month that is still a max of 15m users.

Yup, the concept is too powerful for women. They shouldn't be allowed to use it or understand it. Only real men and people in dictatorship needs ability to send and receive money that can't be frozen and that can hold it's value.
It's better with money that loses value for women, keeps em working.
