@phyrooo @BitMEXResearch @druidian If I actively try to avoid a topic or gossip about rumors I don't believe in, would that be a problem for you? Don't I have the right to remain silent?

@BitMEXResearch @druidian I'm all for filtering transactions for yourself. This is how _you_ don't receive them. The problematic part is when you don't forward it to other peers because then you try to control what _they_ don't receive. These filters care more about the latter than the former.

Look, this is real simple. If I impose filters on YOUR node to prevent what you can send, that's censorship. If I have filters on MY node to prevent receiving some transactions, that's just ignoring them. They do not prevent you from sending. Filters are not censorship.

@michaeljs1990 @cryptoquick I see no alternative but to set a deadline for migration and enable "silent transitions". Here is one way to do this x.com/phyrooo/status…
phyrooo@phyrooo

🧵Silent transition to Post-Quantum Bitcoin outputs is a joint work with @adamedics that describes a scalable path for migration to PQC keys on Bitcoin that mitigates congestion problems before the transition deadline by not requiring users to move coins. gist.github.com/phyro/64f99a4b…

@dallairedemers @phyrooo Direct upgrade is preferable. Silent transition is a plan B when the otherwise preferred option is not adequate, especially if someone (e.g. Satoshi) wants to avoid disclosing their existence for reasons like personal safety or preventing market volatility.

@phyrooo @adamedics Just upgrade directly. No need to be woke and care about Satoshi's feelings, if he wants to keep his stuff he'll upgrade. It was known since 2003 that secp256k1 is vulnerable to quantum attacks.

In the West, the culture of progress has been fading for half a century.

Does culture bring progress, or does progress inspire culture? It turns out that culture precedes progress. h/t @jburnmurdoch

V debati o spolnih razlikah v športu sta problematični obe tipični stališči, ki ju največkrat zasledimo. Nekateri trdijo, da spol osebe določajo kromosomi, kar ni povsem natančno. Kromosomska sestava je le en del kompleksnega sistema, ki določa spol. Genetski, hormonski in drugi dejavniki igrajo pomembno vlogo pri določitvi spolnih značilnosti posameznika. Obstajajo tako moški z XX kromosomi kot ženske z XY kromosomi, pa tudi drugi primeri oseb z drugačnim spolnim razvojem (Differences in Sex Development - DSD), pri katerih spolna anatomija, kromosomi ali hormoni ne ustrezajo tipičnim definicijam moškega ali ženskega spola. XX moški sindrom (de la Chapelle sindrom) na primer nastane, ko se SRY gen med mejozo prenese iz Y na X kromosom. Posamezniki s tem sindromom imajo moške genitalije, čeprav imajo XX kromosome. Glavna funkcija SRY gena je namreč, da sproži razvoj testisov pri plodu, ti pa nato proizvajajo moške spolne hormone, ki so odgovorni za razvoj moških spolnih značilnosti. Prav tako obstajajo ženske z XY kromosomi, pri katerih zaradi genetskih ali hormonskih nepravilnosti telo ne razvije tipičnih moških značilnosti. Na povsem drugem ideološkem polu pa so stališča, da glede športnic z drugačnim spolnim razvojem (DSD) ni nobenih dilem glede tega, ali lahko nastopajo v ženski konkurenci tekmovanj na najvišji ravni. Povsem legitimno tako etično kot znanstveno vprašanje je, ali naj bo ženska kategorija v športu namenjena le ženskam, ki niso šle skozi moško puberteto in nimajo višjih ravni testosterona ter drugih bioloških značilnosti, povezanih z moškim spolom, ali vsem, ki se identificirajo kot ženske oziroma so pravno priznane kot ženske. V športih, ki temeljijo na vzdržljivosti, mišični moči in hitrosti, so moški po rezultatih za 10-30 % uspešnejši od žensk. Te razlike med spoloma se v največji meri pojavijo z nastopom pubertete in sovpadajo z dvigom ravni spolnih hormonov, zlasti testosterona, ki se pri moških do odraslosti poveča za 30-krat, pri ženskah pa ostaja nizek. Kritiki omejevanja DSD športnic, ki so dovolj občutljive na androgene, da ima testosteron zanje pomemben učinek, s pravili glede najvišje dopustne ravni testosterona, kar velja recimo v atletiki, trdijo, da še ni bilo izvedenih dovolj raziskav, ki bi neposredno dokazale pomembno fiziološko prednost teh športnic. Po njihovem mnenju zgolj dejstvo, da so DSD športnice prešle moško obliko pubertete in imajo moške vrednosti testosterona, kar naj bi jim zagotavljalo prednost, temelji na posploševanju, ki ni nujno znanstveno podprto.

@cheez_cheddar @amphlux @OwenBenjamin @saifedean The point is it was and at that time it was a money substitute, but now this is not the case. I know his "theorem" but strictly speaking it is a hypothesis, and BTC clearly shows that other utility other then being money is not necessary to get pricing.

Bitcoin appears to be a decentralized Ponzi scheme not a decentralized currency. People don’t spend it because they want it to go up. The dollar works because of inflation. It keeps velocity up like hot potato. If you want to store value silver gold and land. Because it’s beautiful useful and valuable. Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme without an individual attached to it to go to prison. So the media can control swings for profit. That’s my opinion about bitcoin. The purpose isn’t currency the purpose is to make dollars. The dollars “weakness” is actually why it won’t be replaced. Velocity

@cheez_cheddar @amphlux @OwenBenjamin @saifedean Fiat IS a token money. What does is substitute then? You mentioned it's irredeemable, so don't say gold. Strongly suggest you to read Simmel's Philosophy of money. Among other things he also talks about objectivity, subjectivity and intersubjectivity.

@cheez_cheddar @amphlux @OwenBenjamin @saifedean Yes and the same is true for token money. To reiterate: once utilized there is demonstration and no longer just subjective belief✅Production requires utility to take place✅Utility requires a thing to have properties which are intrinsic to it✅

@adamedics @amphlux @OwenBenjamin @saifedean But once utilized there is demonstration and no longer just subjective belief. Production requires utility to take place. Utility requires a thing to have properties which are intrinsic to it.

@cheez_cheddar @amphlux @OwenBenjamin @saifedean Of course they are. Tell a squirrel how much utility gold/silver has. Valuation is a belief system as explained above (well, actually you don't need 2 parties, 1 is enough, e.g. Crusoe economy).

@seba1337 @_zaze_ @romunov Pri *direktni* demokracjiji pa vsi odlocajo o vsem neposredno brez predstavnistva. To je sploh neucinkovito v luci rational ignorance, pa tudi ce bi zelel bit neignoranten, je to nemogoce, ker vsemu pac ni mogoce slediti in biti na tekocem.
