I don't see how the freedom to think implies anyone else has any responsibility toward me and my rights. Natural selection doesn't care about you or your rights, dignity, or intelligence. God isn't j...

Try this. Your freedom to think and act on what you believe is right or best for your goals certainly is very important to your own fulfillment and well being. How could the environment is of stuff created by others depends on their fulfilling their positive potential and thus their freedom to think and act. So maximizing your own well being requires supporting their freedom as well as your own.

Thank you. First paragraph makes sense - just running a readonly full node makes very little difference (it can decide which transactions to forward and which drop/censor but there can always be anot...

Nodes don't decide what transactions make it to mempool and then into a block. They all run the same rules unless they refuse latest update. If enough do then you get a chain split. Running they same rules they have zero independent real decision power over blocks or transactions.

Fees are what determine if a transaction gets into a block. Which chain is valid bitcoin depends on the vendor because if the vendor and the buyer disagree on which chain is bitcoin, the vendor wins, just like whhe you go to a shop and pay with a fake $20 bill.

No. Monero has not come under anything even close to the level of attack that bitcoin has been encountering for the last decade. Psyops to split the community like XT and ABC, VC/State backed fundin...

It was attacked from inside and pretty well sold out to tradFi. And that is very much on a lot of the bitcoin maximalists.

It's been constantly under attack since like 2011. Nothing new about that. It's adversarial for a reason.

It accomplishes what it intended to: closing the CSAM attack vector.

sister_sam @sister_sam 1783401817

CSAM is already illegal. What they have done is treat everyone like a fucking criminal and surveil everyone. That is never ever justified. And their systems do 70% false positives harming a lot of innocent people as well.

Bot? Or just way out of context? We're talking about BIP-110, not the surveillance state.

Bill Gates + WHO is a verifiable connection, and when there's that much money at stake the studies to justify them ... well, let's say that the starting assumption should be that they are not to be tr...

Actually you only get that much uniformity when government is in control of most research. Only government can take everything it wants and lock you up if you don't comply. Think about it.

I thought about it. Still studies stand for themself. A good study delivers premisses based on evidence. And when the premis is true, it can be verified wherever. This is real science. To see how the world works. Intrest and power have no influence on truth. They could at most blurr the sight on it....
