I'm stealing this line for every social interaction.

Don't insult people. Plenty here think for themselves. My whole work is designed for radically indie thinkers.

There will only ever exist 21 million Bitcoins. Evar. Like I said... Integrity.

There is still a danger of that. However... What that analysis misses is that Bitcoin's function is not to be the perfect microtransaction technology, it's to have integrity. The only function of Bitcoin is integrity. Bitcoin is literally just electronic Integrity. When you grasp that... Wow! - - - - - Now, the trillion dollar question is... How much is Integrity worth? Does Jamie Dimon know the value of Integrity

Hold my beer

You have a funny way of inverting reality. It's monkey mind who wants to withhold the truth for sake of keeping a friend. Sneaky, sneaky monkey!

Has it? Maybe it's cause I put my money where my mouth is

Only a devil would be interested in such a thing. Of course you found a way to invert my light into darkness.

I've been seeing a lot of needless drama, in-fighting, and toxic communication on this forum of late. This makes the whole ecosystem unpleasant for the majority of members who are decent, respectful, and follow the rules. I've already banned a handful of the worst offenders and will continue to ban others who are consistently dragging down the discussions here with personal attacks, demonization, shameless bias, projection, gaslighting, and drama. Thanks to those who don't engage in such activity, I appreciate you.

is imaginary

It's not "just" a symbol. It's a symbol that everyone believes in. Which is it's real value. Gaining that consensus is literally worth trillions. The only thing keeping Bitcoin from being worth trillions is consensus. And if it ever becomes worth trillions, those trillions are literally the consensus itself. The real thing that Bitcoin "does" is consensus. And that is a BIG deal. That's more work than JPMorgan will ever do. Which is why Bitcoin is worth more than JPMorgan. Having consensus among humans is a very important and valuable thing, because humans disagree about everything so fucking much. To have one thing which everyone agrees on is an epic feat of magic. This is the genius of Bitcoin. It's a unicorn. Profound to contemplate. Everyone tries to copy it but none can match it. Bitcoin is GOAT.

You are being way too pessemistic. Of course there will be exceptions. But most girls learn their lesson long before 50. Lol. Your girl is just exceptionally dull.

I dare you

I spent most of my 20's building my life. It was a great move. At 21 years old what kind of relationship can you have? It's gonna be immature as hell, just for fun and practice. It's not even possible to have a relationship with a girl until she's at least 25, and that's being generous. Genius right there. That's why he's a Mod and you aren't

Now that's a breakthrough! For those asking. @GabeN Still not God-Realization

Consciousness

That's as silly as saying some currency is useless. It's not supposed to be making you breakfast. It's just a nice way to store value. The world will need a universal standard of storing value. That need will never go away. And the dollar is not so great with all the printing of dollars. There needs to be money which cannot be faked, ever. The only thing we have like that is Bitcoin. You can fake everything else. The Chinese gov could set up a machine to print dollars. Just think about how bad that is.

Don't worry. You are just getting started. You can contemplate more next time. Your early trips will be too magical to contemplate deeply. Enjoy the magic.

It would be an endless list. Elon Musk is a political asshat, but his purpose about space exploration is powerful. James Cameron

God is death

Infinite pleasure would actually kill you. Pleasure can be a very destructive force. And pain can be a very beneficial force.

Many great LPs besides mine.

The solution to life is called death

Sorry, I'm just not impressed by that at all. Having amazing genetics and strong work ethic doesn't mean much if you don't channel them into something meaningful. Throwing a ball around is not meaningful unless you brainwash yourself into believing so. I don't deny the skill. But skill by itself is nothing to fetishize.
