Inquiring minds want to know…

Finally, something blue haired Karen’s and conservatives can agree on: we need to decrease government power. The recently created federal department called ICE (it’s about 20 years old) is somewhat unique among US law enforcement agencies. How so? ICE is largely tasked with non-criminal “administrative” law violations. For these types of violations, because they are not criminal, you don’t get all those rights that come with due process… Congress passed the Posse Commitatus act in 1878, prohibiting the army from being used to enforce domestic law. It also forbids the executive branch to commandeer local law enforcement to enforce federal law. This act was expanded in 1950 to include the Air Force. And rather quietly again in early 2021 to include the navy, marines, and space force. While I’m no fan of illegal immigration of bad people, I’m happy to see newly expanded government powers scaled back.

Are you a bot? You keep calling your cherry picking man math but that’s retarded and the kind of thing little Karen’s do…

Here’s an advantage of bip110: by precluding long script hashes, the risk of very hard to verify blocks that could be made using long standing non-data embedding bugs will go away (these take hours to verify but have never happened). I have heard it said that this will cripple bitcoin functionality (ie, you won’t be able to do stuff like use key a and key b if it’s only been 3 months or less otherwise after three months either key a or key b or key c can be used)…but I don’t think that’s true…the script hash is always of fixed length…that’s half the point of a hash! But yeah, for cool tricks like the degrading multisig above the script will be long and long scripts could just as easily be used to stuff data that only gets revealed upon spending the output, not creating it… But I don’t see a downside to limiting script hash length…but I’m not qualified to declare this to definitively be true.

Have fun staying poor. I’ve literally handed you an easy to verify secret to increasing your wealth faster than you’d otherwise be able to…but it was too long to read. Don’t worry, bitcoin is too hard for you anyways…

“A pdf file or else was not self-evidently present on-chain in any meaningful sense. Bytes on-chain are not a file. A file is bytes *plus* an agreed decoding and interpretation process.” Did you think relay rules change this?

I will blow your mind with math, real math, down below, but you require an insult first. I think you are using gay small weenie math…real men work and always have something more to contribute. Cherry picking tops is only useful to brag or complain as one necessarily is picking data that applies to almost nobody. I’m sorry bitcoin didn’t make you rich quick and only got on your radar during a mania phase. I’ve seen it many times over the last 15.5 years I’ve been in bitcoin. If you want to do real math, pick a number between 1 and 28 and get monthly price data for bitcoin in that day of the month going as far back as you can through today..then open excel, plot it, and fit a power law curve to the data (feel free to try fitting literally any other curve to the data, it won’t fit as well)…and have excel report the equation and R^2… If you want to manually delete periods of Bitcoin price mania and run the analysis again, you’ll see the exponent drops but the R^2 goes up. In fact, the equation is a near perfect fit for the last 9 years. Ok, so now that I’ve told you how to generate a formula for bitcoin price as a function of date, you can repeat the process taking sats from the beginning to 2016, and then 2017, and then 2018, etc…what you’ll see is these equations are remarkably similar and all do a surprisingly good job of predicting bitcoin price today…literally many years in advance… Should bitcoin be closer to $55,000 today than $150,000? The math says yes. But back when bitcoin was $600 in 2016, predicting price would be $55,000 in 2026 sounded insane. But here we are.

Bitcoin is on sale!

#Bitcoin is on sale! Why am I happy about this? It means I can keep growing my stack. It means my final wealth isn’t locked in yet. You see, today’s price is not unexpected. How does one expect this price? Extrapolation…it works well, at least for a while. How to extrapolate Bitcoin price? Get bitcoin price data, put it in a spreadsheet, fit curve to price…you’ll find power law models fit best. To refine this in to a “support” or price “floor” model, just eyeball delete bitcoin mania prices…you can delete data points along the width of points above ½ or ¾ max if you want to be rigorous… You’ll get an equation for bitcoin price as a function of date. If you use data from 2011-2016 and repeat this analysis and then repeat again for 2011-2017, 2011-2018, etc, all your equations will be remarkably similar in price prediction for today. Who would have thought that when bitcoin was $600 you could make an equation that was even close to predicting its price a decade later using prior price data alone? Anyhow, here are my back up the truck and load up on bitcoin prices each year in January for the next several years…this model will be less and less accurate, I suspect, as time goes on, but it can be refreshed with new data if necessary or one can just use the model less rigidly… I wish I could save an AI prompt to replicate this analysis and share it as a link…

I’m sorry you don’t understand Linux terminal commands. And if you did, you would see over a decade ago one transaction encoded a PDF file… I hope you realize data on disk is not stored “continuously” and that lack of repay filters has nothing to do with how blocks are propagated or stored. At any rate, i can’t correct some tribal non-causal thinking like “unless CSAM is uploaded by via new officially sanctioned rules…”—it’s clear you want Bitcoin even if it has CSAM and want to make a distinction where no difference exists. You couldn’t pay me to pretend to be this non-sequitur.

You must invest terribly if you haven’t done well the past 5 years in bitcoin. Bitcoin isn’t a get rich quick scheme or a buy one and get rich instantly investment… That said, people expecting another 1 million fold increase in price (literally x1,000,000, I was there) are not thinking rationally. The would make bitcoin more valuable than all value on earth. But another 100x over 20 years is optimistic but reasonable.

We should be happy that bitcoin is cheaper. Don’t be butt hurt about the fact that if you would have waited 90 days to buy Bitcoin you’d have 50% more. You’re lucky to have as much as you do already! And this is a long game. Did you think you could replace the world financial system and it would be a piece of cake? This dip is nothing. If you’ve been stacking for more than a year, don’t cry about unrealized gains that have decreased…the fact is you didn’t sell before is because you wanted the insurance of bitcoin, not the payout…so buy more while it’s cheap!

But I warn you, don’t commit felonies. I also warn you, you do not need to commit a felony to have a rational discussion of this topic. If I were you, I would delete the file immediately… That said, since you now know with certainty that it is possible to embed arbitrary image data on the blockchain since the beginning, should we abandon the bitcoin project? Should we decide we mere plebs have no right to honest money?

Ok, but before I do, I must warn you that by executing the command I will send you, you will be guilty of felony possession of CP. But recall, my question was whether or not you care, not whether or not you willingly wish to engage in CP.

No, it doesn’t. See above.

Central banking is the biggest attack on humanity since Hitler, Stalin, and Mao combined.

Now tell us your view on central bankers!

Lofty goal…not many can get there, by definition

I’m on 25 but I can’t relay transactions, so relay policy is irrelevant to my satellite node.

Hard to roll back all of them…but income tax is the least equally applied. And bitcoin changes the last one…a lot!

Why do you feel a new relay policy brings risk to bitcoin? Perhaps you were unaware of the unsavory data embedded already long ago in the chain?

Altruism doesn’t scale

Stack sats and shelter…and community.

Can’t have my stack. AFAICT, the only thing that is different is that my savings rate is higher 50% now than in October…bitcoin price only matters when you sell (which is when you want it high) and buy (which is when you want it low)…in between price is irrelevant.

It didn’t move. It vanished. Only a small fraction of a trillion dollars ever changed hands at the highest price. It would be like if you and I each had 10 rocks and I bought 1 millionth of a rock for $1,000,000 from you and we both declared ourselves to be rich (10 x$1,000,000 x 1,000,000 =$10×10¹² or ten trillion dollars)

I do not contradict myself. I think there are people who genuinely believe in bip110 and while I believe it’s obviously wrong and core’s approach is directionally correct, I want to discuss the subject to see if there’s any nuance I’ve missed or validity behind genuine believers rationale. But I’ve only found tribalists and good hearted if misguided people who feel thinks out instead of think things through.

1) Much like instructions to build a firearm isn’t a firearm, I distribute nothing, but you have expressed a desire to view CP. 2) Now that you have been warned that you have CP on your node and have stated that you care, what will you choose to do? Will you stop using bitcoin? Advocate that nobody be allowed to use it? Seek imprisonment for those running nodes with decade old CP embedded in it?

This is the way.

Bot…not well programmed, but I get it…well played.
