Are there any press releases or similar other sources I can check? I'm very curious but I couldn't find much to be honest, thanks

Interesting, is Ingenico planning this? I had no idea!

I see your point, yet TCP/IP's date of birth + 17 years doesn't equal the kind of internet adoption and use we associate with modernity, right?

AI agents that craft personal nodes? How would that be good?

Technically right, but is it still the least inflationary thing on planet earth right now, so I'm not sure how relevant that is with respect to NGU

I don't think that NGU can be dismissed as something stupid. It's a simple fact of rational economic behavior that the vast majority of people won't spend now something they think is going to be much more valuable in the future. If someday we end up in a situation where Bitcoin has reached its total addressable market and people simply observe its price to be more or less stable against the dollar or stop measuring in dollars altogether, then we will see MOE. But it cannot be forced IMO, as much as I'd like for that to happen.

How do we know that there aren't factors leading to this outcome other than mindset, better privacy being the first one? Moreover, are you referring to NGU specifically?

Digital gold can be divided in arbitrarily small amounts and transferred and verified cheaply, so I don't see how your point stands.

Organic MOE use will only happen in my opinion whenever merchants start wanting Bitcoin more than they want fiat. We're otherwise placing the blame on consumers though, am I right? I don't think you can force the individual buyer to spend Bitcoin when spending fiat is so much easier, and we certainly cannot hope for Bitcoin to dramatically rise in use as a medium of exchange because a few bitcoiners here and there feel guilty for not spending it. For me the question is: what is to be done for more merchants to start wanting to accept Bitcoin, maybe even offering a discount for paying in sats? What are the blockers? Are they technical/psychological/legal/fiscal in nature? If these issues can be solved, then consumers will simply start paying in sats more and more, but they're not the drivers of this solution.

Well I'm sorry, the points you've mentioned aren't particularly convincing, hence my reply. No hard feelings on my part though. My question regarding OP_SUCCESS didn't seem wanting to turn things into a debate either.

Why would node runners and other Bitcoin users oppose this? Genuine question #asknostr #bip110 #spam

Tone's presentation was a joke, and it wasn't even a funny one!

No gold?

Is BIP110 not limiting scriptPubKey to 34 bytes though?

Thanks for fixing it!

I understand that, but I only have one life and I won't spend it dealing with shit and slop if that's possible. We should all aim for that, even if very hard for the vast majority of people.

We can all agree that it sucked before and it will suck even more in the future though, right? And yes, there are things one can do about it, such as changing careers.

Correct, it was once again our friends at the Fed!

Powerful read, thanks for resharing it! Sometimes day to day reality pushes these uncompromising principles to the background and we seem to momentarily forget why we're here in the first place. Thanks for reminding everyone what our purpose is with Bitcoin!
