Will our elite top 1% be managing, repairing, upgrading, etc. the spyware and killer robots? Won't the other 99% also be able to acquire their own counter-spyware and protection bots? I'm just saying if bitcoin prevents most people's wealth from being covertly siphoned off, as in our current system, it will be much harder for a small minority to control them.

Re 8: how will the socialist/communist/authoritarian govs pay the enforcers of their policies if over half of capital/wealth is difficult or impossible to confiscate? If it's the rich elites footing the bill will they really be able to sustain their position in a new hard money (bitcoin) world? My understanding of the most recent hard money era is it tended to empower the productive but also improve the standard of living and thus autonomy of even the relatively unproductive due to monetary deflation, improved capital allocation and tech innovation.

Agreed. For me it’s the difference between walking to work and riding my bike. Both take effort, but I get there faster riding and it’s a lot more fun. I’d even ride in on the weekend some times just for the joy of it.

Congrat's happy to have you on the team!

My 2sats … if you want to make those cakes fluffier add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the milk and stir wet and dry ingredients as little as possible right before cooking 🥞

Certainly not “the public’s” safety they a worried about

Great interview with Becca from the Anchor Watch team. I have a few related questions maybe or have a take on: 1. Is there any proposed legislation in the US to remove the penalty for insurers to use #bitcoin as backing for BTC denominated policies? 2. If an insurer was able to use and custody BTC to back a policy who would/could insure that custody? In wouldn't make sense to take a BTC denominated insurance policy from an insurer who holds their BTC with some shit place like coinbase. https://stephanlivera.com/episode/673/
