congress does not react to protests

congress was undersiege in january and yet the screams of the trumpettes was not heard or even discussed.
congress does however react to petitions and lobbying

the boston tea party events. were not where britain responded to the citizens of placard waving protests.. but instead the US government sending the british monarchy a petition (protest/resolution)

this is the legal method that got the british government to listen to the american government

civilian protests/riots were not the cause.. it was legal paperwork such as petitions, resolutions, contracts, acts and lawsuits..
the civilian protests were just social/media drama to layer on as as an 'after-fact' if it was 'power of the people'
much like when hurricanes happen. some people then say 'it was an act of god'
nope it was an atmospheric event

the bat corona used in the wuhan lab was 96% like covid19

yet wild pangolins found in other locations are 98% to covid

if your unclear about how much this percentage means as a difference
humans vs apes are 98.8% similar


now lets use some numbers
for wuhan lab to crispr their corona sample to make it 100% covid2
would require.. .. well ill make things simple math.. a change of 20 rna characters per trial
out of 30000

so say bat corona virus is 96%
28800
thats 1200 rna character differences
which means 60 trials/edits to the bat corona rna code to become the covid code

that seems not much while reading this.. but the world of crispr and biological science. thats actually quite difficult.. as i said 4% is difference between apes and humans

anyway if it was lab produced
it would show 60 identifiers that crispr has happened.
well there is not 60 identifiers found.
nor 30.. nor 15.. nor 8 nor 4 nor 2 .. not even one

yep zero identifiers have been found
8284  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Taproot proposal on: June 06, 2021, 09:32:53 PM
taproot did not impose any force measure.
there were some issues in regards to segwit. such as that it 'increase capacity 2.4x' and 'cheap fee pledges'*, which were obvious empty/false pledges and those 2 things were the 2 things people actually wanted at the time

taproot is different. its not really over promising anything
its not pretending to offer one thing but offer something else
its not attempting to force itself

so there is no controversy or resistance

taproot does not really hurt legacy/native users. if people want to use taproot they first have to move funds into taproot addresses.
segwit did hurt legacy users. eg: (WITNESS_SCALE_FACTOR = 4;) means legacy tx became more expensive*

so because taproot devs are not playing these flip flop false promise backstabbing games this year. they are not getting any drama towards taproot

*to name a few

EDIT to answer gmax below....


pre segwit activation blocks reached peak of 2.5k average tx per block..
post segwit activation blocks reached a peak of 2.7k average tx per block..check all time graph
so gmax misinforms about a +10% coupleday peak.. but 0% 3 year average change as his answer to 'cheap'
but does not acknowledge the 4x premium his friends added to the code that disadvantage 60% of users

witness scale factor is used to make legacy transactions 4x more than segwit
everyone knows that a hard data real byte of legacy is trapped into being recognised as a more bloated 'vbyte of 4x its actual hard drive stored size
its the very reason while the blocks can be 4mb bitcoin code can only store 1mb of legacy per block
search github and you will find this x4 premium in many examples of * WITNESS_SCALE_FACTOR
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

theres more but i limited myself to spending just 20 seconds in debunking gmax. anyone can find these multipliers in 20 seconds.. even gmax
segwit dies not discount transactions. it just avoids a premium.
and not by just a segwit activation giving all bitcoin users a discount/ avoid premium fee.
but only those specifically having a segwit UTXO get this avoid premium fee

gmax. atleast be honest about how your team decided to play around with the fee structure to disadvantage legacy address users and try to promote/incentivise segwit users to try converting people

bitcoin is economic medium. not a childs toy

by including sidechains..
.. all it does is push people out of bitcoin to then play with those silly tokens on the sidechains and altnets

true bitcoin maximalists like bitcoin. not other networks pretending to be
yes have sidechains for daily play/waste funds.
but dont expect bitcoin maximalists to lock-in their entire hoard

Also true maximalists don't support centralized platforms that "stake Bitcoin". Anthony Pompliano for example shills Blockfi like crazy and calls himself Bitcoin lover, but tells people it's okay to put their bitcoin into blockfi to earn more. You would never see a true maximalist shilling or even getting paid for any corporates.

thats just scamming
any service promising automated profits by simply depositing funds into them is a scam
8287  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Education as the bed rock of a country on: June 06, 2021, 08:06:24 PM
education only works if it teaches people things they need to learn

for instance.
some area's have ZERO jobs available in the doorman/security sector. yet employment centres offer free education to get into security work(facepalm)

for instance
africa. while there is not much english speaking people. educating kids in english and christianity will not give them the skills to cook, fish, build houses

i have noticed that schools in the UK spent 3 hours a week on religion and history. but only 1 hour on proper real life tasks like cooking. and only one lesson every 6months on money management
even sex education was like 1 lesson a year

..
africans do not need to learn romeo and juliet. they could just use google translater. they instead need to learn how to communicate and socialise and do trade.
8288  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What about Fauci and the Wuhan Institute of Virology? on: June 06, 2021, 07:55:12 PM
ok some clarity is needed
the ones in the posts above saying they THINK it was lab leaked are quoting other people that THINK

.. however an opinion of an opinion are not evidence

however
here is some evidence that oposses the conspiracy theory
Crispr is the technique that labs use to gene splice and edit genes. the thing is. it always leaves a sign it has been done.
when looking at the covid sequence there is no sign of any crispr.. but they can see that the lineages show a relational path from bats found in eastern mongolia years prior(96%). as to with a strain found in wild pangolins thats later(98%)

thus actual evidence of actually studying the virus yields greater proof of a wild bat->wild pangolin-> wetmarket path to human infection

also the people in previous posts are using the "thinks" of jan2020-summer 2020
ignorantly saying how people need to go to china to find out for sure
yep june 2021 idiots quoting 2020 as reasons people need to go to china(facepalm)


funny part is the ignorance of the people above. international scientists did go to china in late 2020.. and so ends the debate of 'going to china'

yep folks if your quoting crap from pre autumn 2020.. your already debunked and out of date
try catching up
8289  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why revolutions and movements fail at their desired outcome on: June 06, 2021, 07:36:50 PM
Lol you want to petition to ICC or which international body where a country you are in has her own sovereignty? Nobody is going to listen to such petition but to not interfere in a matter not in there jurisdiction.

depends on how what and who
most people write silly petitions like
'sign this if you think trump won 2020'
(facepalm)

however others wrote
'sign this if you want: a. a committee to recount votes. b. have it done by X date' where that petition was then spammed to the electoral team that deals with it.

so its about being a bit more smart. rather than thinking you can throw an election by just asking for signatures of opinion
as my first posts and the previous post.
petitions work
the boston tea party legal protest was not a citizen placard and picnic their 'protest' was a petition to the british monarchy with a 'resolution'
8290  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why revolutions and movements fail at their desired outcome on: June 06, 2021, 07:26:30 PM
What are your thoughts on the Boston Tea party, the Stamp Act Riots or the American Revolution in general?
How about the Womens Suffrage Parade, Stonewall Riots, the 1963 March on Washington?

boston tea party
well history fades and media stories grow.
if you think that the american revolution was caused simply by spilling a few boxes of indian tea off the side of a boat.. then i should laugh.
things that led to the american revolution were far far deeper
such as ... the legal stuff. first congress.. petitioning british monarch
this led to war to sever ties with britain
so in short.. congress petitions war.. not civilians tipping tea boxes into the sea

stamp act riots
well what a coincidence.. the term of a stamp 'being franked' dawning from Ben franklin. .. well in 2012 i was interested in this subject and how US was trying to tax bitcoin.. thus inventively i chose franky1 as my username.. due to the stamp act stuff of franklin in the 1700's..
bitcoin has no representation. so taxation without representation is a big no no
oops i digressed
anyways back on subject
this was not 'riots'.. it was setting up committee's and strengthening US congress
the 13 colonies sent a petition (virginia resolves). which is not the same as protest (placards and picnics)
other things like in england lobbying began to repeal the stamp act due to the negative economic consequences the stamp act was causing.
.. i could go on. but alot of legal things occured. the citizen riots was just social drama

womans sufferage
well media history plays out of placards and picnics. but again lots of things were happening within government buildings.
for instance some women(with businesses) did get to vote and other women lobbied their local government representative to vote on their hehalf (advocate)

.. in short none of the items of question you asked changed due to placards and picnics

bitcoin is not meant to save/replace/remove/destroy fiat or gold.

its meant as a open different option.
there will always be gold and fiat and all the games of fiat inflation/deflation +50% tax or -x%interest
but bitcoin just sits on the side lines as a spectator having a laugh watching the games
I see gold as sitting on the sidelines watching from the premium seats and Bitcoin trying to get tickets to the premium seats. But in the end just watching back at home in front of the tv.

to continue your spectator analogy

if gold is the box office seats. i see no problem with bitcoin being netflix

only elitists get to sit in box office seats... but anyone can get netflix
and thats a point a second option away from public service broadcast where even regular people can get to enjoy a different viewing experience

altcoins are just the scam pirate sites with advert popups

It amazes me to some of the many facts about religion and there crimes to humanity all perpetuated all in the name of good and still expect some form of justification.

the trick is.. find an entity no one can touch or arrest.. and say your mission is in that entities name

EG religious crimes. government crimes

its funny how senators hide behind "government"
senators vote as individuals but when people want change senators say:
'i cant change things, the senate is the place that does those changes'

so when things go bad. even if a senator voted in a bill that caused damage. 'i didnt do that it was the senates decision'

same with religious stuff 'its wrote in the bible/Quran/scrolls"

CEO of businesses do it too
'its company policy, not personal'

soldiers/police
'im just following orders, its my job'

even things like a pledge of allegiance..
never a pledge to a living person
"i pledge allegiance to the flag"
8294  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why revolutions and movements fail at their desired outcome on: June 06, 2021, 12:15:30 AM
violent protests and riots by citizens simply results in some citizens earning a criminal record and losing their jobs.. and losing future job prospects
if those out there want to just do peaceful protests. there are better ways to do it.

take this idea for instance
if there was potentially 10k turnout in a city.
dont gather shoulder to shoulder in one location taking up just 1 square block

break up into groups of 200 and scatter. at different intersections.

you can holdup 50 intersections of traffic thats 7 x 7 square blocks

200 is enough to not just have police squads arresting everyone.
50 clusters is enough to keep a whole police district busy and spread out
7x7 blocks disrupted sends a bigger message than a single square block.

but if you wanna do more then just disrupt fellow citizens day getting to work. try the route he elitists use (the petition, legal,lobbying systems)
8295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Maximalism on: June 05, 2021, 10:42:04 PM
by including sidechains..
.. all it does is push people out of bitcoin to then play with those silly tokens on the sidechains and altnets

take banks pushing people to vault up gold in 1900's.. eventually the gold back peg of a bank note disapeared and banknotes were not worth the value printed on them

just watch out when networks like LN only endup working well if you vault up BTC into some companies 'watchtower' and they later want to reimburse you with altcoins should you ever want to actually unlock out of their channel. 'coz cheap fees'

the signs are already there. watchtowers, factory channels, high onchain fees, atomic swaps

deposit gold-> play with bank notes -> swap for nickel coins of digital 'balance on databases
lock BTC -> play with milisat HTLC's ->atomic swap for altcoin or exchange balance

true bitcoin maximalists like bitcoin. not other networks pretending to be
yes have sidechains for daily play/waste funds.
but dont expect bitcoin maximalists to lock-in their entire hoard

Bitcoin is going to save the world from currency devaluation and the endless money printing from governments. There's even talk about how Bitcoin is going to demonitise gold.

8297  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why exactly is Bitcoin clinging to PoW? on: June 05, 2021, 10:22:33 PM
technically. bitcoin is the most secure coin in existance from a brutforce energy requirement prospective.
all other coins cant even compete

socially:
I see a network (blockchain) which can have interesting applications, such as transactions with tokenized Bitcoin or tokenized fiat currency (stablecoins, CBDC).

they already have these pegged coins
liquid featurenetchain(allows different coins/assets):- exchange arbitrage utility
RSK sidechain
LN featurenet(allows different coins/assets):-consumer banknote utility

but yes. a bank note deemed as 'backed by gold' is still not gold. and we all know how bank note pegs of gold turned out post 1970

But I do not see that such a network can directly constitute good money or currency.
Claims by the founders and members of the community of such projects that their product is money (finacial asset, store of value) "better" than Bitcoin, can be rejected even without getting into discussions, knowing that there is no escape from the blockchain trillemma.

bitcoins underlying value is truly based on the fact that it costs thousands to mine bitcoin. much like gold takes over $1k to mine gold

if bitcoin/gold could be mined for under $1. its value would not be as high and its speculative market price above that would not be as high
(mine gold for the price of a dinner spoon and a coffee filter in ur own yard $1. speculative market $5)

once the big organisations start vault managing the peg-ins-outs of these feature/sidechains. then you will see the 1970's bank note/gold games at play in the cryptosphere.vault up btc. play with their tokens withdraw/swap to scamcoin 'coz withdrawal is cheap'

which is why im staying with bitcoin onchain transactions.. thanks

    But even so, protests are not to be underestimated because if people really do unite, governments can fall. A good example of this is the edsa people power in the Philippines which has overthrown the abusive president at that time along all the other people under him that did all his bidding. But yes, the best way would be the things you suggested.

the philippines leadership did not change due to peaceful protest(placards and picnics)
it was the elections runner up that called foul on the election
which media portray as just
requests peaceful protest/strikes and boycott

the real stuff that happened was
Feb 7th   election result was announced as in 'marcos' favour((third term) illegal)
              runner up 'aquino' called result a fraud
              'marcos' didnt step down pretending his win was legal
feb 15th  proclaimed COMELEC 'marcos' as victor
              runner up 'aquino' proclaimed foul election
              runner up 'aquino' took oath of office at different location at same time as 'marcos'
              requesting boycott/strikes of marcoses banks/services
              50 members of parliament left marcoses government
feb 16th  runner up 'aquino' request boycott/strikes of all 'marcos' publications and media
feb 22nd 2 defense cabinet ministers swapped sides from 'marcos' to 'aquino' side
              cardinel castro's religious condemnation of the election fraud of 'marcos'
              rebels plan to attack 'marcos' palace and capture or kill 'marcos'((coup)planned but didnt happen)

which led to the actual events of marcos then fleeing

so yea it wasnt the citizens waving placards that done it
(i missed out many details of lots of threats and battles.  but you get the jist)
all in all based on law. even though marcos had a name on the vote.. legally he couldnt actually sit as leader as it was 3rd term and not allowed.
