Tantalus ---RT @JTaylorForeman“Everybody acts out a myth, but very few people know what their myth is. And you should know what your myth is because it might be a tragedy and maybe you dont want it to be.” — JungIf you had to guess, what myth are you acting out right now?

Holy shit, they weren't kidding. I finally got to watch San Junipero from Black Mirror and it's easily the best episode in the series.

Sorry, no. I will not run a spam filter for ordinals on my node. If the antifragile protocol of bitcoin can be broken by a bunch of malakes playing with meme jpegs, then it deserves to die. ---RT @oomahqRunning @lukedashjr's spam filter as /Satoshi:23.1.0/Ordisrespector/, say hi if you see me 👋If >90% of nodes do this it won't prevent @brqgoo from having fun, but it will raise the participation bar way above the average browser-clicking…https://twitter.com/oomahq/status/1621899175079051264

I don't trust Luke Dashjr. His ego let him lose his coins by not using modern security measures like hardware wallets. ---RT @oomahqLet's face it, applying a random patch to Bitcoin Core is scary.In today's thread I'll run you through the due diligence I made on @lukedashjr's patch, how you can check that it does what it says on the tin, and how I hope it plays out when deployed at scale. Let's dive in 🧵 https://twitter.com/oomahq/status/1623052780280885253

Bitcoin is perfect for me because I actually suck at doing business.Fiat business models require you to leverage, to borrow and float a lot of money, maintain insane amounts of advertising in order to compete etcWith bitcoin you do some work and then save some of the earnings

I talk to some indie authors and their business model is to chase after trends, hire ghostwriters, make generic books that will definitely sell, buy thousands of dollars in Amazon advertising and so on.It's all fiat thinking.

I'm going to try and explain that in a proper post once I formulate my thoughts a bit better. Basically, you're running a store. Be it online or brick and mortar. And under a hard money standard, things are fair. You work, make something people wanna buy, you get paid. All good.

Your competition does the same. They get some customers, you get some. You compete, but it all comes down to location, opportunity, quality, pricing etc. But under our fiat standard things are not fair.

Fiat requires you to get a loan to compete. Because it's not enough to work and sell and save up cash. The competition has borrowed 1 million euro and hired four employees. Now he's running 24/7 while you're just one person. The customers go to him.

Now his cashflow can support another loan from the bank, his net worth is a million or more, right? And then he borrows 2 million euros and redecorates his store, rents the building next door, runs ads for 100.000 euro per month. Outsources phone calls, shipping, payments.

While you are sitting on a hard money standard ideology but being under the sword of Damocles called Fiat and inflation. You can't compete with that. He's leveraged to the hilt, owns five expensive cars, has two ex wives and a 25-year old girlfriend, and for some reason you're

the one feeling like a failure for being cautious. Your family business that has survived for 150 years under a hard money standard suddenly is in debt.

And society has grown to admire the person risking it all and coasting like a surfer on loans and cashflow, while hard money standard business owners are seen as archaic and needing to get on with the times.

And here's the thing, bitcoin early adopters will get a boost. And it's fair. Extremely fair. Because they're the kind that save up, who can't compete against the fiat standard businesses. When fiat catches up BTC price will smooth out but until then, it's the only way to compete

My main argument for getting businesses to accept bitcoin is no transaction reversals and international payments that work every single time.

Only the apex protocol remains. And that's bitcoin. The rest will never achieve the network effect necessary to sustain it. ---RT @BitcoinIsaiahJust like OSI, SS7, IPX, AppleTalk, and so many other communication protocols went the way of the dinosaur when TCP/IP won the Internet protocol wars.. The same will happen with monetary protocols.No one will even remember there were once “alternatives” to #Bitcoin.https://twitter.com/BitcoinIsaiah/status/1627050569721610242
