True, but it isn't scarce. It's printable by a certain few who use it enrich themselves and oppress others. In some countries, we have monetary systems that still work, more or less, but built on deception and oppression. Our pension funds are laughable Ponzi schemes, but legal because they're government-operated. At least the private ones are voluntary! In some countries, they don't have a working fiat system - many citizens don't have access to banking, and currencies are so useless they use foreign ones instead. It's "working" in the sense you suggest - if it's a tool intended to increase government control, drain the wealth of the people, etc., then it's doing its job quite well.

I'm definitely not for using the $ sign anywhere in Bitcoin - it's a fiat symbol, tied to the governments of a few countries, opposite to everything Bitcoin is.

₿ seems to be the only agreed-upon, recognizable symbol, and if it's all just sats in the actual code, I think they'll become what we're used to using. I still call them sats, but I don't mind seeing the ₿ symbol used. Gone are the days when a Bitcoin was worth a dollar, or multiple Bitcoin were spent on ordinary purchases.

Most recognizable Bitcoin symbol out there. It's a quick way to teach them about sats, I guess!

And every time you refinance or switch homes, the amortization starts again, so you never quite get to paying much more than interest and fees.

Thanks for such a clear statement. I'll unfollow for now, as the AI project isn't my interest. But I've enjoyed your take on things and I'm sure will still see some of content here and there. I wish you well!

Well done!

Best one yet!

And you're unwilling to take it to their (very active and helpful) support chat with their devs. I'm not saying I wouldn't be frustrated too, or that I don't understand not wanting Telegram. I just think you're being unreasonably hostile. I had a similar issue with a lightning wallet closing channels on me. I reached out eventually and they did give me instructions for recovering the funds I thought were gone forever.

Yes.
