Which is why we like it, right?

I really wasn't aware of this side of him, I thought he only cared about software per se. https://geohot.github.io/blog/jekyll/update/2026/03/23/changing-the-world.html > There’s nothing more cucked than wanting to make money. You are literally spending your life to change a number in some other dude’s SQL database. The SQL database owner is the Chad fucking your wife. You are begging to fuck her when he is done. Please Chad who prints the money can I have higher TCO? And then he drops a link to "The Creature From Jekyll Island". I'm surprised but I'm also not, anyone who's smart and thinks in the right direction should eventually be able to see that the current monetary system is a scam.

He even thinks that money should be backed by gold, he's almost there! https://geohot.github.io/blog/jekyll/update/2026/04/18/five-simple-steps.html

What strikes me is that, while in this little corner of the world we're debating a thousand issues that might or might not plague Bitcoin, the vast majority of people out there doesn't even know the difference between sound and fiat money. I get a bit less hopeful when I think about that. It seems to be one of the results of the predominant consumerist mode of living, where the average individual knows basically nothing about the broader system he or she lives in as long as they're able to go to work and get a bit of entertainment in the evening.

Not surprised, but I have a question. Who the fuck is Jimmy Dore?

We don't need the federal reserve where we're going

No I don't which is why I'm asking, I thought you might have done some reading on the official way Fedi presented their way of proving this and had a quick way to explain it.

Sure, but my question was another one >What's the current way they prove that it is indeed n different people? Plus I don't use Fedimint nor do I think I'll ever use it, this is purely for curiosity

I think fedi works only if a group of people gets together and the federation guardians (or whatever they're called) are seen doing whatever they need to do in order to set up the federation What's the current way they prove that it is indeed n different people?

Their custodial nature aside, my question is about the lightning network itself. Fedi and Cashu and interesting and have their use cases, but once a payment goes from one lightning node to the other their privacy features are effectively off the table. As far as I can see they offer great privacy as long as one remains within the mint and transfers ecash back and forth.

Do you think lightning gives the user good enough privacy, or not really? Curious to hear your thoughts, thanks

Here we go again: but who will build the roads??

My replies are: - I'll tell you if you show me your bank accounts - do you only pay in cash? I don't think so
