Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), better known to the world as Mark Twain, considered the lifelong duty of his acerbic pen—as he put it a letter of 1888, accepting an honorary MA from Yale—to be "the deriding of shams, the exposure of pretentious falsities, the laughing of stupid superstitions out of existence." It was a role which, he continued, made him "the natural enemy of royalties, nobilities, privileges and all kindred swindles, and the natural friend of human rights and human liberties," and he embraced it wholeheartedly.

To fully understand #Bitcoin Game Theory, you must accept the reality of the Dollar Prisoner’s Dilemma and Dollar Stockholm Syndrome that pretty much all of us are trapped by.

The best way to escape a prison is to fully understand the prison.

Does anyone know a good estimate on the average marginal cost to produce 1 #Bitcoin in electricity terms (joules?) and hashing terms according to today’s Difficulty and Halving epoch?

Just trying to think purely in terms of #Bitcoin and energy units and remove Dollars from the equation.

You got a personalized list?

People say #Bitcoin doesn’t require Trust… and that’s true in many ways… but could our movement benefit from Trust on a different level? I think so.

Stop worrying about outcomes. Have conviction in the rules and incentives that Bitcoin has established.

Trust the process.
