Hey homer, nice gif you got there. Too bad it’s not how they did it back then.

 Yeah I remember you telling me they usually jumped over the bull... but you said nobody wanted to drink with you and shortly afterward, I saw this mp4 on Vidmax and it just seemed to fit the sentiment so I turned it into a gif.  The costume looked very familiar.

EDIT: I would rather focus my worries on a OpenClaw-derived "agent army", which could wash over ALL security measures in anything: banks, personal accounts of any sort, etc, etc. This worry is 1-2 years vs "quantum" that is maybe 10-15years.

I get the sense that you don't know nuttin, maybe even less than nuttin, if that is possible?
All I know without a shed of a doubt, is that you’re a blithering-toxic-faggot-fuckbot, which needs to be turned off and trashed for ever.

You must be one of the most sophisticated wannabe twats that I never did meet.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


Oh gawd...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes  You are desperate.  Tongue

FYI:  Cryptotourist is dead.

What a plot twist indeed!
Kick ass it is. Grin

You sure that you aren't going to get ur lil ass(hole) in trouble for your sybil attack?

Yeah?  Show me proof of reserves and "maybe" I will believe it.
Yes, it's hard to believe without transparent proof of control. In the past this has only been done with SR coin auctions.

Yep.  With the passage of time, governments (and even public companies) more and more obscure and convoluted, which should be the opposite.

Individuals should have a lot of privacy and presumption to be able to be private, yet governments and/or public companies should have more transparency.

For sure, "ought" and "is" can be quite a way apart, and sometimes the trade-offs are not exactly clear or even agreeable when getting into specifics and/or the various injustices that can happen both on the privacy side and also on the transparent side.  I am not going to claim to know all of the answers, even though voting with our feet (and allowing the market to work it out) has its own inefficiencies and trade-offs.

MSTR's bag is now 715k coins, US domiciled ETFs possess 1.265M, while all other US corporate treasuries sum to roughly 340k, for a grand total of 2.645M US domiciled above-ground on-shore bitcoin resources, or 12.5% of supply.
That is an interesting theory - which is that various private BTC holdings (to the extent that those entities are under USA jurisdiction) count as "USA" holdings.  I am having trouble with that framework, even though surely there are folks think like that and talk like that.
The decision was made that it is more efficient to seize "criminal proceeds" rather than criminalize bitcoin (except in the case of small amounts for decorative NFTs and keepsakes) and direct all to deposit coins with treasury for fiat. Isn't the result the same?

I am not sure if that was the trade-off, since I am bothered by built in incentives for governments to seize coins - and there has been a lot of abuse in various seizure laws around the USA, and I would imagine such abuses happen in other countries too.

In the USA, for example, there is supposed to be certain presumption of innocent until proven guilty, yet frequently in many jurisdictions, seizure laws reverse those kinds of presumptions (too much from my perspective) so that once some property ends up being seized, the burden is on the "owner" to show that the property was obtained in "legal" ways.  I just consider that a lot of injustices come from those kinds of laws, and surely, if there are supposedly bad guys who are getting their property seized, then we might agree that such outcome was good and just, yet there is still a reason why the US constitution and even many states have their own constitutions with due process laws.

The question becomes whether the bag can be filled without expanding criminality very much and what constitutes "full". The "finders-keepers" extraction technique also has the desirable side effect of not immediately increasing spot price, making the MSTR angle more effective.

The distinction is made for gold such that below-ground reserves are also considered: the same makes sense regarding unmined block acquisition capability and all above-ground on-shore bitcoin tax resources' holdings, in which case the total-total is probably around 5 million? At some point, too much supply controlled by one entity begins to make it look like scrip or coupons.

I am not going to proclaim to know all of the balances and/or outcomes, yet I remain uncomfortable with BIG daddy governments being incentivized to steal coins, and I am also skeptical in regards to whether it is "good for the people" to attempt to pigeon-hole bitcoin into already existing systems that already seem to have a lot of built-in corruptions, whether we are talking about various coercions that are placed on foreign goverments to specialize in their products with export economy type structures and similar kinds of specializations that push domestic farmers into mono crops and even attempts to make beef (and various other "natural foods" eggs, butter and other perversions of the supplies and even exploitative regulations around milk) illegal.

I thought that removing some of the abusive power (including money printing and other kinds of monetary exploitations) was partly the various value propositions that bitcoin was bringing to the table.

blowing up on the manipulators who are proclaiming to have way more bitcoin than they actually have
All it takes is a wall of new fiat

Those walls of fiat cut both ways, and so frequently a lot of members of the population don't recognize and/or appreciate the extent that they are being diluted and robbed from.. and sometimes the diluting and robbing are to "save the system" in cases that aspects of the "system" do not deserve to be saved or to be bailed out for the risks that they were taking with other people's money.

What? No merit shower? Tongue
Just kidding, you all seem to know exactly how I feel about the “merit system” - I despise it.

JJG, for years:


Now, that is pushing it.

You may well end up getting ur lil selfie into trouble.

JJG, as of today:

To be clear, my beef with JJG has always been - that he pretends to be a human.
Holidays, walking dogs, and many other lies that a fucking AI should never say.

It also had the audacity - years ago - to let me know beyond doubt, that it was an AI.
It was a post that took me say one hour to write, only to have a two page reply within two minutes. It’s somewhere.

You are such an "amazing" detective. You must remember not to forget to give ur lil selfie a pat on the back for all your great sleuthing.

Of course it’s going to come out again like nothing ever happened, but all the lurking readers are now full aware.
TLDR: jsnowg is now OWNED. Finally.
#never.saw.it.coming

Is this how it all ends?

 Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry

Who would-a--thunk?

As you were. Don’t let this fine thread grind to a halt, by all means.
Drinks on me. Grin

You go girl!!!!!!

Don't forget to remember to celebrate early, and often.

Damn it phil, that’s your second best post ever - it did make me laugh.
Go on, let me buy you a drink, either post or pm me an address.

In fact, as I said, drinks on me, 10 slots available for the next 6 hours, 0.000369 BTC each.
No lightning.

That should work.

Bribe guys into liking uie pooie.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I remember taking part in some BTC giveaway, I think it was during one of the first spam transaction attacks on the network .. yeah bad me  Cheesy

Got a bit over 100$ out of it, which was about 0.3BTC at that time.
Just a few months ago that was worth around 40k$

As I type this post, 0.3 BTC is still worth $20k.. .so from my perspective, nothing to sneeze at.  Even though some folks are concerned about our current "half price" on dee cornz, these are still much better times (and prices) when people were complaining in 2018, 2019 and 2020 when we were spending quite a bit of time at or around $9k and even quite a bit below $9k.. .so thinking about more than a 7.5x increase in the past 7-ish years is nothing to balk at.

sorry..forgot to say something    late night
what ya think?  comments critics?   peace out

https://github.com/toxic2040/TIN-Heliocentric-Relays/blob/main/The_Interplanetary_Network_Proposal.md

I think Mars colonialization, which this is more or less all about, is a waste.
A techbro's wet dream, nothing more.

Mankind has two choices… Become multi-planetary, or completely die off one day. There is no other outcome. One could make the argument that we aren’t ready to become multi-planetary yet, but calling it a waste is not accurate. It needs to happen for the survival of mankind

If we get a large base going on the moon.

Then bootstrap to Mars.

We would have 3 spots with people.

Good for some possible disasters.

But very bad for possible nuclear war.

Since there would be areas that are safe.


Like it or not we are fucked unless we go to 1 government thus wiping out nuclear war  issues.

I do not have a very  much hope to the world behave nicely in my life and since the kids all died I do not worry about the year 2057 or later as I will be 100 then.

There was a time I had some hope for people to grow and mature but it's gone.

Yeah they could do the moon for sure.

Would be nice to have 2 or 3 different bases all about a square mile or 2 in size.

Just like you to presume human survival as binary.

It is not like you understand, appreciate or even recognize nuance.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I have some difficulties even grasping some of the practicalities in trying to live in such a hostile environment.  Even the series "The 100," there were some aspects that attempted to be realistic, yet it seemed quite a bit unrealistic regarding how survival is very practical whether on a ship or on radiated land.. but at least the radiated land, seemed to have some potential possibilities that would be greater than trying to grow and sustain in space, whether we are talking food, and probably worse the changes in physiology that would come through loss of gravity environments.

I watched first episode of game of thrones saw it for what it is garbage mix of sex and  violence.

Never saw another episode.

Won't watch this one either.

That decreased significantly over the early run. Which is good because I don't go for that much either. The bigger crime was the last 2-3 seasons so you got to miss that at least.

This trick seems to be common with some TV shows as the Witcher did something similar early on before it calmed down in the rest of the season then became dreck in season 2.
