Last night I ordered a pizza for my family and I. I used a gift card to pay. I don’t carry cash but I have a bunch of unused paper wallets. When the delivery girl got to my house I asked, “Do you use bitcoin?” I could tell she knew of it, but wasn’t to familiar. So, I told her I want to tip her, but would she accept bitcoin. Her eyes lit up and she agreed.

So, I grabbed a spare paper wallet, scanned the QR code, sent the tip, gave her the wallet, and before she left I told her to google “bitcoin paper wallet cash out” or something like that if she wants fiat. She genuinely seemed excited.

I did same thing a few days ago and that delivery boy had the same reaction.

For people who are unsure or skeptical, I think this is a good idea for everyone in the space bc 1)it’s a direct connection to one’s labor, 2) the face-to-face voluntary transaction of tipping is apart of the Satoshi ethos, 3)its something physical, 4)the physical paper will help them understand the abstract aspect of money and 5)it creates a financial incentive for them to give bitcoin cursory examination, at least.

At that point, I hope they continue  down the Rothbardian hole and see the fed (and all central banking) for the criminal instruction they are.

Thoughts?

Excuse any ignorance I may have and please consider that I am attempting to use Cunningham's Law here; posting the wrong answer and waiting for someone to correct me.

Could modular exponentiation, some form of modular math (a concept that I’m new to), or some other mathematical computation be used to infinitely scale bitcoin?

Im this case, a block wouldn’t be an aggregate of the block data but a mathematical computation that (when solved) reveals the data of the block. Similar to a trapdoor function. Bc the data requirement for a single function is much smaller than the result of the aggregate block data (esp. as it grows) and the computation required is “simple” when the trapdoor is solution is available. So, a theoretically infinite amount of transactions could exist in a single computation. The difficulty in finding this trapdoor might be prohibitive, but I could it be reasonable?
