80 IQ plebs to #Bitcoin Core devs be like: image
Yesterday, there was a Mercedes 300 SL "Gullwing" on my gym parking lot. Back then, at $6,800 it cost twice as much as a Corvette and many consider it to be the world's first supercar. Only 1,400 of these coupés were built from 1954 to 1957. This monster came in with a 215 hp 3.0L inline-6 with fuel injection, which was absolute peak German engineering that put everything else to shame. Nowadays, these cars trade around 1.5 million dollars, which is a 7.3% CAGR, and I'll get one once #Bitcoin hits parity.
Would it have been better if Satoshi just went “Fuck that, we use the patented Schnorr signatures instead of ECDSA .. tf they wanna do? Sue us?” Devs would probably have to be even shadowier super coders in the beginning but it would have been another example of Bitcoin’s power. #asknostr #bitcoin
Mr. Taleb as confused as per usual when addressing complex issues. image The scientific method should be the go-to way of trying to understand something. However, in a situation of strong politicization of a complex societal issue, such as Covid, climate change, Gaza or Bitcoin, it becomes essential to add Bro-Science to your approach of trying to understand things. Bro-Science is most powerful when you're part of the analyzed system yourself and its 'test cycles' are relatively short. This allows you to collect many personal data points that the confused & archaic 'The Science ™' people dismiss as anecdotes. Incorporating these data points into your analysis becomes important when your gut tells you that the common narrative's math ain't mathing. If you used Bro-Science as an additional tool you were able to: - brutally outperform Taleb by DCAing Bitcoin - recognize that banning children from kicking around a ball outdoors due to Covid is a net negative - recognize we understand climate change much less than it's commonly presented as In contrast, for me, Bro-Science is a relatively weak tool at analyzing the Gaza conflict, as I don't have any personal or friends' experiences of the conflict. In short: Trust your gut. Don't disregard your own experiences & thoughts on a complex matter just because someone with a fancy title tells you they ought to be disregarded. That loser weirdo probably can't even bench 100kg anyways (125 kg hip thrust for queens). #bitcoin #covid #broscience

Am I doing this Bitcoin drama right? #Bitcoin #Asknostr image
Bitcoin drama is hilarious in that normal people couldn’t care less. They see Bitcoiners as a homogenous group of nerds working in unison on their magic internet money. In reality, though, Bitcoiners try dunking on one another in the absolutely meanest way possible. Surely, that’s just due to the passion and perceived importance of Bitcoin. I suspect even those tearing each other apart on social media, or those outraged when someone says “we” or “community”, still feel allied with 99% of their 'Bitcoin Drama Enemies'. #bitcoin #opreturn #nostr #bitcoincore #bitcoinknots image
