Right.. but you're conflating a few things on purpose here. They're rosy in some ways, but not bullshit.
It defunds the state in the sense that they can't print Bitcoin at the expense of everyone else. People with money, especially if this is bitcoin, will always be free to spend it as they see fit. But with Bitcoin they'll always be limited by physical reality: 21 million.
Wars are not going to be non existent, but you can't fund a war forever if you can run out of money. Bitcoin is the only thing that enforces that. Sure, it doesn't prevent people from going to war, but they'll be hit with reality a whole lot sooner.
They can't confiscate it the way they can with inflation on fiat. Or confiscate it by freezing your bank account. They need the private key, same as you. There's power in that.
But of course.. you know all these things😄. You're just poking!

Question about the transaction when either one of the two parties has no internet at the moment.. what stops the buyer from reverting the cashu payment later, prior to it being claimed? I see this option in my Minibits wallet. Am I missing something?

Unless it just feels better 😄. Personally I always feel at peace with Bitcoin, because I have conviction that it actually solves the issue. Anything else, gold included, is just an attempt at staying afloat. That could be enough of a reason to swap paper gold for bitcoin, even with that outlook.

2026-02-04 08:18:55 UTC

- reply

Interesting.
But help me understand. You're expecting bitcoin to be flat/down for the next 1.5 years, and you now trade your gold for bitcoin?
I don't believe in bitcoin being flat/down for the next 1.5 years, but I presume you also expect gold to not go up any further in that timespan then? Both seem.. crazy to me 😆😬.
Or do you just sleep better at night holding #bitcoin whereas paper gold is just a thing you wanted to get out of at some point anyway?

There are alternatives to hardware wallets, but I don't think anyone is denying that. It's a good tool in a larger toolkit, and like with everything there are trade-offs. It all comes down to how the user decides to use the tools.

These arguments look odd to me.
For example.. how is the criminal context argument a hardware issue? This is how bitcoin and cryptography work; the owner of the seed is in charge.. regardless of where that seed is stored and regardless of the owner's (in this case ill) intent. Feature, not a bug.
