Saylors debt pyramiding of bitcoin is safe because "the debt is not collateral and its zero coupon". What ?! Has he discovered a perpetual motion financing machine ? Even if the debt is in the name of MicroStrategy , what do you think happens to MicroStrategy equity if we get an 80% drawdown of bitcoin like we've have in every other halving cycle ?

It keeps getting more horrific. You are infected with non human DNA that you can pass onto offspring, which produces so much cancer that sv-40 is used in the lab to induce cancer in lab animals. That on top of altered mRNA that produces autoimmune disease without an off switch. How does anyone survive that ?

dumped amethyst for primal. So far so good. Got tired of amethyst censoring. One caveat, it may have been a relay doing the censoring, but there are more than one of those, so I doubt it. . If you are going to censor then you can go and pound sand. The network will route around you.

There is one big problem with open source and central servers, you can never tell if there are asynchronous offline , non open source processes that are harvesting server data and analysing it. If you cant run your own server, then maybe find an app where you can.

An 80%+ drawdown and margin calls would mean assets must be sold to meet the call and MSTR would be shaken out of their BTC holdings. That would materially impact the stock price by a balance sheet impairment both directly from a BTC fall and having to sell other assets to meet the margin call.
Saylor is far more intelligent than I am, so maybe he has it covered, but I've seen legions of so-called geniuses wiped out in the markets by overextending debt in the face of volatility.

Home servers are the answer, it seems. Arent all bittorrent clients , by default, also configurable relays ? I know each meshtastic node is also a relay(effectively a homeserver), and each meshtastic node only sees a subset of the network because of physical radio broadcast distance constraints. Messages are propagated outwards through more distant nodes that see futher parts of the network. I think you spoke about some sort of similar constraint(algorithmically?) on the size of the subset of nodes accessible by each #pubky node ?
I dont fully understand the details, but am very excited about your work in principle

This is great. My takeaway is : lets use a mapping system(dht) from a source key to a destination record that has proven for over a decade to be decentralised and have vast scale , rather than invent a convoluted square wheel of dubious or unknown value to do the same thing. If pkarr can seemlessly provide a generic application bridge to dht, then can nostr use that or are the two irretrievably incompatible ?

I think he's missing these key components, gold doesn't have an unalterable public ledger , gold tends to get stored centrally because of security problems and gold is not readily assayable.

If you don't know if the gold exists or where it is and it is insecure to carry and you cannot tell easily if its real gold , you cannot back money with gold. There's the problem.

Yes. Know your history.
In 2008 the US army published this paper (below)developing their first strike nuclear doctrine. The doctrine is based on strategically placing missiles close enough that can be used to counter a nuclear response after the nuclear first strike is launched, thus defeating the enemy and surviving the response. This is precisely why NATO advanced east to the russian border, including planning to advance into Ukraine, and placed anti-missile missile batteries in Eastern Europe and other places. At the time they laughably said it was to counter attacks by Iran. This is precisely why Russia will not allow the west to strike Russia with long range missiles , because Russia has no way of knowing and less than 5 minutes to find out if it is in fact a nuclear first strike. Its is like Russia placing nuclear missiles in Mexico, this will never be allowed by the USA. Never !
A dangerous game is being played here by insane people in the west. Certainly, it will be the end of the world.

Meshtastic p2p mesh radio network works like this. Every user radio device is automatically a node and a relay. The subnet size that each node can see is the range of the radio and the density of handsets in the range. Replicate that on the internet.

NATO expanded long before Putin.
Ukraine joined NATO's Partnership for Peace in 1994 and the NATO-Ukraine Commission in 1997, then agreed the NATO-Ukraine Action Plan in 2002 and entered into NATO's Intensified Dialogue program in 2005.
Over the course of the 1990s and early 2000s, NATO expanded three times: first to add the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland; then seven more countries even farther east, including the former Soviet republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; and finally with Albania and Croatia in 2009.
During the early 2000s, President George W. Bush pushed for Ukraine to become a NATO member. France and Germany opposed it, fearing escalation with Russia.

This is massive. Within the past 10 days we came within a hair of being wiped out in a nuclear war. It turns out there was a de-facto coup with the military ordering Biden to stand down on authorising long range missile strikes from Ukraine into Russia. This , by the way, was precisely why Russia went to war with Ukraine, Russia could not allow nukes with a 5 minute flying time to Moscow to be deployed in Ukraine. Especially since the USA already has a first strike nuclear doctrine. Would the USA allow Russian nuclear missiles to be deployed to Mexico ?

Tokenization will make YOUR assets more accessible to be seized as collateral in a credit default like a derivative collapse. Your house , your car, your policies, your stocked and bonds everything will be taken ! The laws have already been changed to facilitate this.
"You will own nothing".
Whose side are you on ?

Russia is the richest country in the world. It has maybe quadrillions of dollars of resources. Russia needs nobody else's resources. Russia straddles 11 timezones and is the pivot of Mackinder's World Heartland theory. Without controlling Russia you cannot control the world. Russia gets invaded or provoked into war at least every 100 years by people wanting to steal its resources and gain its strategic position. America has 700 military bases around the world, most are surrounding Russia. Russia has one foreign military base, in Syria. A bankrupt west needs assets for the bombed out balance sheets. Russia has the assets.
You haven't read any history.

You are 100% correct. Duration matching is one problem, but excess loans without any matching is the problem and bank failure , or the implied threat of failure by a bank run , is the solution IMO. No regulation, because that becomes regulatory capture, just caveat emptor. Learn the hard way!

Saylor makes this an industry. It's his business model. Nothing wrong until enough volatility wrecks you.

Saylor worries me. The investing graveyard is full of "to the moon assumptions". Nothing wrong with that if you're conservative and debt free , but when you pyramid borrowing and debt to speculate on such an assumption, I think the chances are that you almost certainly eventually go bust, hit by a volatile glitch.

There will always be credit/debt. It will arise spontaneously, not least in the manufacturing cycle, when goods are ordered but only paid for on completion of being manufactured. In the meantime costs and salaries must be paid. Credit notes arise and circulate as money to facilitate this. These notes used to be called Real Bills. They are settled for bitcoin or gold upon payment for the goods manufactured. The problem comes when the debt issued becomes unmoored from the settlement amount. Like in fractional reserve banking. I don't know how you solve this problem. I don't think you can.

Sure, scams are as guaranteed as the sun rising in the east. I should qualify that Aristotle referred to a universal token of exchange of value or what we now call Sound Money.

Aristotle defined money a few thousand years ago and is pretty much common sense. Money is a commodity that must be :
Divisible, portable, durable, fungible, desireable, relatively scarce , not consumed by industry and maybe , lately , one or two other properties.
The commodity with the most properties of money becomes accepted as money.

The tech led, commercial real estate decimation probably hit Trump.

Trump has only one goal for his presidency , to enrich himself. He doesn't give a fig for anyone else. "Warp speed , baby !". Trump makes me sick, as do the rest of the politicos.
Btw who's this Reply Guy grifter spamming the network ?
