The app also enables offline communications during natural disasters and can save lives.

Surely the government of India wants to save its citizens lives, right… right?

It’s not the best solution.

Think harder.

Don’t do that Volkswagen. Will be bad for your stock price. Think about your shareholders. They are your masters.

Vintage cars will experience a renaissance.

Plus they look more badass too compared to the generic gray monstrosities.

Maybe the math doesn’t work but the supermarket bacon is often processed meat containing nitrates (colon cancer if you’re unlucky).

Go to your local butcher shop and ask for pork belly instead.

Most countries stopped travel restrictions through March-April 2022, right after the end of February 2022 start of the Russia-Ukraine war

I suppose many Bitcoiners have gone to some kind of a conclusion that “ending fiat” will be something that only their grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be able to witness.

It’s not easy to accept that you might never see the fully blossomed fruits of your labor.

But it’s always good to celebrate small wins and progress.

Bitcoin’s “purpose” is to be neutral, if a neutral protocol can even be assigned a purpose.

BIP-110 introduces consensus-level content-policing breaking this neutrality.

Even the BIP-110 version can be spammed with the toxic content so I don’t understand where the tradeoffs to support BIP-110 in its current form can be somehow switched to positive.

If node running is a concern, better focus on UTXO optimization or better pruning defaults instead of creating precedents that break Bitcoin’s neutrality.

Knots emerging as an alternative major client was great. Would have loved to see it reaching 50% of the nodes. That would have been “sending a signal” and building more social consensus for its goals.

But BIP-110 alienates the potential Knots converts unfortunately.
