The mempool isn't clogged. What is happening is the anti-DoS block size limit is preventing a bunch of crypto tourists from killing Bitcoin.
How can I block anything starting with "Breaking" or "Just in"?
I don't want to make money. I don't want virtual sex. Thanks.
Two super bowl questions. Why do the have kickoffs and why do the drones have cables?
@BitcoinNewsCom @crypt0e There is no such thing as a "tax incentive". Every tax is by definition a disincentive.

Despite banks having a multi-century head start, more people in the world today have smartphones than bank accounts.
I like the move but the fact that he can do that sort of makes him a dictator?
We are happier since we got rid of non essentials and adopted sensible eating. I fast 7 days annually, wrapping up day 6 now. Good to hear this clip. Curious about the context.

Yes, at whatever scale possible.

Spare us the lecture about “financial regulation” if you’re $33 trillion in debt.
What euphemism should they use?
Sounds like opportunities to me.
@Patrick_Lowry_ Because they don’t have a special stamp in their special stamp book?

@ErikVoorhees @0xhauru You can't cherry pick the better case scenario for cows natural grass fed) and then the worst case scenario for agri (industrial processes). Wouldn't industrial feed production to feed the cow equal death of industrial produce production in addition to the death of cows?
@ErikVoorhees i see your line of thinking. vegetarians will argue that pound of beef is 2.5 pounds (of w/e the number is) of grain with a whole lot of death too. so vegetarians probably kill a lot less than 99%.
@ErikVoorhees @_jonasschnelli_ False premise that you might kill more farming plants than animals. Animals eat 10 calories of plants to produce one calorie of meat, and therefore much more land area is used (and by extension animals killed) to raise meat animals. Veganism is a *reduction* of suffering
My son has taken to calling me "DadGPT" -- at least it’s an acknowledgment that I possess some degree of intelligence.
Hey plebs, I need your help with some advice. Candour and humble-pie time. After 2 years doing my best to counter bitcoin FUD pretty much full time I’ve run out of financial gas to keep doing this. Wouldn’t be an issue except I have a family and I’m the sole income earner.…
Drove to the grocery store with my wallet. Transported money 2 miles without a license. Audi Group also participated in the monetary transmission even though they didn’t have direct control over the funds.
I am open to this friendship, it's going to take a variety of tools and approaches to get as many people holding their own keys as we can. 🧡

It's depressing to think about trying to change systemic stuff that is set in place by overwhelming force because if you play by the normal rules things are setup at every level to stop you, probably for the best in most cases. But with Bitcoin there's a chance to exit that game.
This is why I don’t believe Phoenix or any Lightning node falls under the category of MSB. In the Tornado Cash case where they are trying to argue TC is a transmitter (despite being non-custodial) because “control” isn’t needed to transmit, it doesnt apply to LN. LN is P2P. ⚡️
Most people have the wrong perception that a Lightning payment is a chain of nodes transferring value to each other. In reality, when the preimage is disclosed, value is transferred directly from the payer to the payee, without going through intermediate nodes.
@moneroswiss_ch @ElectrumWallet So all ISPs servicing banks are MTBs as well. Without their networks money couldn't move.
@ElectrumWallet The game here is to avoid middle-entities, what they don't understand? Nodes are the network throughout we can send our money. A tunnel where a train pass to avoid go around a mountain: who build a tunnel doesn't move the train, it doesn't touch it even. It ask just a fee 🤷🏻♂️
In a democracy, we have always had to worry about the ignorance of the uneducated. Today we have to worry about the ignorance of people with college degrees.
Lightning service providers, coinjoin coordinators, lightning nodes, these are all DATA services. They do NOT have control over the funds. Lightning nodes do not pass a sender’s funds anymore than a Newton’s Cradle transmits steel balls from one side to the other. The current…
Under a #Bitcoin standard, this man would be doing what he obviously loves, not what he has to:
@Diverter_NoKYC Not necessarily. There’s the business test as well. A person can transmit money to and from a noncustodial wallet without being in the business of money transmission. This is an important distinction. An example in the fiat world: I could take a $20 bill out of my wallet and hand…
Do you remember being young and feeling like a computer was a gateway that opened the whole world? I’m not sure that’s how it is anymore.
@JoeCarlasare Why wouldn't pasting transactions into twitter posts, or youtube videos, or instagram pictures make those platforms MSBs?
