The Bitcoin Hexalemma
Most Bitcoin arguments stall because they’re missing a constraint.
A global monetary system must simultaneously contend with six competing requirements - not three.
You cannot maximize all six at once. Any design that claims to is either abstracting layers… or lying.
Bitcoin’s architecture only makes sense when viewed through this lens.
@Cryptotea@ATGCoin The irony here imo is that "Bitcoiners" ARE the "New Middlemen". 😏
Now what... "Death to Bitcoiners"? Be careful what you wish for. 🙊
Wrench attacks are tame compared to what history tells us. 🤕💢🔧

I find it funny when people hope banks adopt bitcoin
did uber try to get taxi companies to adopt them?
the entire point of crypto is to remove the middle men
the thing is, banks don’t want to adopt bitcoin as a currency because they don’t want a system that is open and transparent
because if you saw what they did with your money, you’d run to the bank to take it out
Again, money 'deposited' [misnomer] ie legally "loaned" to the Bank is NOT "yours"... it's "theirs".
Just saying. 😇
I go even further: whoever/whatever minted it owns it outright (especially if it is a private entity - Person, Corporation, Trust etc)... and that, legally-theoretically at least, they can confiscate or void it at any time.
We're on the same page though in principle.
However, imo, Bitcoin won't ever become money at scale unless it is adopted by institutions (inc banks) and has regulatory compliance (plus liquidity oc).
The Trilemma ISN'T enough (not just my/an "opinion" - or an opinion at all - but a 'truism', perhaps, based on 'everything'). At a minimum, the Bitcoin/Monetary "Hexalemma" MUST be solved for money (especially digital/cryptographic money) to scale (especially globally). See my pinned post/s. 🙂
Unless the Hexalemma happens, the BIS et al (and the people/families who control the planet) can & will use their standing armies to destroy Bitcoin (as 'they' have always done throughout history when something starts scaling to a point where it could or does threaten their monopoly money). 'All' discussed - including various & numerous counter-arguments - in my "Bitcoin [& Monetary] Hexalemma".

New banner new vibes for the profile
Here the APEHANDS doing their thing, the activities are crucial and here in the banner they represent them, the character we have created is unique
On the computer my passions and the future I want
I am *super* excited for the pipeline we have of new developers building on ApeChain and Otherside and everything being released over the next few weeks.
Hungry devs with unique ideas, alligned with the mission, adding to the strong current crop of legends. That's the alpha.
The construction of an IP 🧱
It is slow and step by step, it reminds me of how the construction of a LEGO tower is, you have to go piece by piece with patience and above all knowing what you are building
That is why this April we are finally organizing the year, with construction and renewal of things, adding AI and maintaining the values we have
- Unity
- Learning
- Hard work
Every holder who has their ApeHand represents this and must take into account that we are here daily building
HANDS DOWN
You're probably doing it the right way around tbh. Most probably leave the IP til last... and then probably too late.
Research & Development is equal in importance to Advertising & Marketing. Gotta (try to) balance the deployment of both simultaneously (including equal expenditure on both - most neglect spending on one of them)... and most, again, neglect one of these joint-requirements (never mind the expenditure factor).
Slowly but surely is the way to go... the Tower of Rome isn't built in a day.

Gm! Nearly there with MineKart
Finally found what was killing the quality on Mobile and fixed it.
Weirdly still have bugs between Chrome and Safari browsers - seemingly Chrome can handle three.js/webgpu and Safari cannot.
Minekart.app only on @ApeChainHUB@apecoin
I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens.
normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task
caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task
"I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens
caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens
every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved
why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops.
no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words
"result. done. me stop."
50-75% burn reduction
with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now
