@saifedean@miguelhzv@SamuraiEveryday If we define inflation as increase in prices, globalization and technology have more to do with it than debasement.
Rents in San Francisco are sky high because of small amount of land and infinite economic leverage.
Rents in my hometown haven’t experienced much inflation.
Fun fact of the day:
If you don't think inflation has been the biggest problem in the world over the last century, you have been miseducated by people who get paid by inflation.
@L0RINC@hashtimelock@MrHodl You don't really use Bitcoin, do you? A pruned node means no Electrs, no local mempool.space, no ability to provide IBD etc. It's a castrated node.
I just completed an IBD with Bitcoin Core 0.31 in under 20 hours on my 5 year old laptop.
The last time I tried on the same machine, it took multiple days. The difference is insane.
Thank you, Bitcoin Core team, for constantly making my node faster and more efficient!
@hashtimelock@L0RINC It has nothing to do with sync time. You still need to validate the chain before you can delete it.
It has to do with much of the chain I want to keep on my HD.
@L0RINC@MrHodl so no real benefit other than IBD time. not really anything like wikipedia bc its not decentralized and not a blockchain lol. the network is stronger the more people have a full node and a pruned one limits someones functionality down the road. you should stop suggesting that.
@hashtimelock@MrHodl For most people there's no point in keeping all historical blocks, the UTXO set contains all you need to fully validate new blocks. It's like storing Wikipedia vs all historical edits of every page. Most people only care about the latest version.
@btctmac quality of houses for rent vs. purchases is very different. esp if you want something unique. interest rates are only going up. houses will also likely keep going up since cost of materials is going up and less new supply. immigrants will continue to flood in and more demand
its stupid when voters say they can't find a good political candidate to support, yet they ignore libertarians.
its like saying youre hungry when theres a hot dog on the ground outside
Pacing around my office and putting my daughter to sleep to the sound of Bitaxe Bitcoin miners humming.
These should be sold as "white noise" machines to new parents. 😂
