Yeah I don't care even if she was for real, I don't want to pay for her everything and then get a cold flaccid handshake at the end of a date.
Someone like this screams fake and haughty to me.

So you can buy back more bitcoin later, that's why.
Granted, it doesn't always succeed.

This guy is a socialist.
Socialists are fine with using physical violence to extract wealth from richer individuals to redistribute it to poorer individuals.
Hating socialists is a necessary, but not sufficient, sign of moral clarity.

Regarding slavery, I seem to remember that it involved physical coercion, as in, "if you don't want to do the work that you are assigned, we can make you suffer until you comply, or kill you trying". I don't reckon drivers are forced to do their job with violence, nor are threatened of violence if they want to quit.

On the other hand, "if you don't want to pay the taxes that we decide you have to pay, we can make you suffer until you comply, or kill you trying", is what happens kinda everywhere.

there's people who will say THEY DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO!!!1 THEY HAD TO DO THE HUNDRED DICE ROLLSSSSSSS

I tried for a minute wrapping my head around it, but no, I don't agree.
Bitcoin, like gold, is valuable because it's useful AND scarce.

Value is never intrinsic.

"Hey look there's that person from the european parliament who's saying bad things to that other person from the european parliament... this means everything is being taken care od by someone else, and I can peacefully go back to work and paying taxes"

I see your posts from time to time, I also open your profile from time to time, read your short description and feel confused... and well I guess this is an opportunity as good as any to ask you: what is it that you do?
Like, what's your trade?
If you decide to reply, please explain it in simple linear terms that a male can understand :)

Of course, this is now what I meant though 😉

The analogy holds up to a point, it's not like firefighters come to your house to set fire to it.

Never forget Ruby Ridge.
Never forget Waco.
Never forget that your government is out to make you obey arbitrary laws, or kill you trying.

Does "bullish zap", in this context, mean that, since NGU, you will but zap a few sats because they will still become generational wealth one day?
