I think Elon truly thought he could significantly reduce the size of government through DOGE. Once he got in there & did his very best, I think he realized it was an impossible task. I had great hopes when Vivek & Elon teamed up. Damn.

Yeah. Pretty weird world. Although...Galt's Gulch has been attempted before in various parts of the world, and has usually failed. My guess is because humans were involved...🤣

Great art! Thanks for sharing. ❤️ nostr:nevent1qqs9tlq6wea5vkfevysssyrnl7avezuhjstk3rcg98trgpnyuezmhesppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsp4gwmhm4sfh0rpc085q8ha6nkq42fu7rjd4f4yt3ejz4xsqylgvcrqsqqqqqpq8hc2c

Wow. Interesting. Thanks.

No fiat I can really spare...😬

Hollowed out and slightly corrupted, just as are other government agencies. I could be totally wrong, though.

I wonder if she did. Maybe I could find that out...

For awhile I have been hearing that Core devs are not as good as in the begnning. Still, can't we just 'prune' our node? Are filters the same as censorship? Won't miner fees eventually prohibit stupid uses of the bitcoin blockchan? The genesis block has an image of a British newspaper, right? So clearly, Satoshi thought tgis was also a use for bitcoin? See? I'm on the fence...

True. Thank you. Nick Szabo is on the Knots side, as is Jimmy Song etc. Adam Back & Peter Todd = Core 30, I think. I have listened (ad infinitum) to both sides. I tend to revere Nick Szabo the most, but... I DO like the comparison to email spam filters. Someone said it is an easy fix; just set your Core30 node at 80. Is that true?

Whoa. We just watched the first NBA game of the season. Maybe I'll watch with different eyes from now on.

Bitcoiners haven't been known for their 'calm dialogue'. 🤣

Oh. Did not know that. Hmm.

Please do. As a non-techie...leave the engineering to the engineers. Even then, they can make mistakes...but probably less of them. nostr:nevent1qqs0zax4hq579y2m0vcu8s4kzy3fweutdrqjwhvh280ayqgn8y4nlysprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumr0wpczuum0vd5kzmp0qgs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpsrqsqqqqqpzzh8qh
