Marcel Ohrenschall ⚡️

Here is the printed version of my Bitcoin master thesis 🔥 My key messages here: perfectionism didn’t bring me here, it was focused pragmatism. Which opens up new doors to deepen understanding, qualified sourcing and better arguments 🙏

@Yossari42739801 @resistancemoney Can confirm, I am witnessing this right now haha. Although I wear long pants, I already feel like being involuntarily part of this by just wearing a white tshirt.

@resistancemoney Ive noticed the brief 2 weeks I spent in Asia. That the middle aged white dudes where cargo shorts.

No one is more skeptical about white dudes in Asia than white dudes in Asia

Always amazes me how perception change.

@LynAldenContact Add-on: Respecting the algorithm equals to disrespecting your freedom. If you're constantly trying to figure out what the algorithm needs to hear/read in order to promote your content, where's your freedom of choice or freedom of speech?

Analysts/podcasters/influencers and so forth that cater to their audience don't actually respect their audience. They respect the algorithm, the money. Feeding the ducks. Those who are willing to *challenge* their audience actually respect their audience. It's a discussion.

@krixus1 thankss!!

@MOhrenschall Congrats!!

I finally graduated with my master's degree. After I wrote my thesis there was still a long way to go with extra exams and term papers to get all my ECTS points. Now I've finished. And looking forward for the next 10 years of my life.

@Crypto_Vanir Thank you, Vanir! Crazy how time flies right? :D

@MOhrenschall Congratulations

@Yossari42739801 Thanks so much! Was a long road!

@MOhrenschall Amazing! Congratulations Marcel!

@kdopwq84093h Thanks man!! ;)

@MOhrenschall Congrats 🧡

@sunnydecree Didn't they post this last year already?

What the actual fuck?

OP never said it lied. Just that it's "making shit up". Seem's like even your post needs a validation layer. p.s. this was too good of a catch for me to not pick it up and answer this way ;) I agree with your general statement. Regarding lying there is a convincing philosophical argument to be made that the answers of AI can't be truthtelling or lying. It has no intention. Since AI is "bullshitting", it has no truth value, so the output is neither true nor false. Here is the paper I am referring to: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@WagieCapital AI didn't lie. The team just never built a validation layer. That's not an AI problem, that's an engineering problem. Every AI output that touches business decisions needs a human checkpoint. Basic stuff

@tommarchi just playing with words here but "TxTxT" or "txtxt" = transaction text?

Viat has a new feature I have been working on that I don’t have a name for it quite yet but it sits between typical transactions and Smart Contracts but with instead of language it’s a smart specification but more in the form of a sort of CBOR manifest. Meaning people could use any language they want and instead construct a sort of smart object that meets a specific specification that is fed to a pre-loaded program that executes it. This means more people can easily create things on Viat without complex coding logic, the transaction for it is cheap, more efficient than a smart contract, no VM required, logic is instead a minimal manifest specification, and can be improved and expanded over time. I guess you can think of it as closer to a markup language like JSON or HTML but simpler with an exact specification any errors are easily rejected and problems can be detected when submitted ensuring the network doesn’t run something that is broken. So far I call it a smart manifest/schema/spec but open to any naming suggestions to not confuse it with other things.

Fair point, but what are the limitations in convenience that you (or the people) are missing? Because if it's Tx time you can switch to use Lightning which is very convenient. I also think the idea of the "suddenly" is not that people will start only using bitcoin as a payment method but rather suddenly want to accumulate bitcoin quicker, hence suddenly accepting bitcoin widely. So in the end it still might only make 2-5% of total transactions but could be accepted in most places. That's how I can imagine mass adoption looks like.

@MOhrenschall @TFTC21 Most businesses that accept BTC are doing so out of ideological reasons, not convenience. There is no evidence that there will be a sudden explosion in BTC adoption, it is merely hopeful speculation.

U.S. Bitcoin merchant adoption keeps growing. This is what you should be paying attention to.

Adjusting your content strategy based on the data the platform gives you? Some call it "hacking the algorithm" I would call it "being a slave to the algorithm". Despite views or performance... Why not just post what you want? Oh yeah 'cause you need to make money off of it.

@registerofdecay @TFTC21 What about the claim "first slowly, then suddenly"? The growth is happening. Plus the fact that it's being used by proper businesses is already a huge step compared to the early days of bitcoin.

@TFTC21 There are 36 million businesses in the US. BTC is accepted by 0.014875% of businesses. Anyone claiming that BTC is being used at any significant scale to execute real transactions is lying.

Hört, Jünger des Blocktrainer-Forums: Ich bin auf Romans Seite und bewundere, wie jede Seele Bitcoin mit solcher Ehrfurcht verteidigt. Unsere Bewegung strahlt unaufhaltsam. 🙏🕯️🧡
