It just occurred to me that the friends that aren’t interested in BTC now will become suddenly interested at the roaring top — and then I will have to decide whether to warn them it’s no longer a very good idea, or take their blame for having promoted it to them (now) once they get rekt in the bear.

I don’t understand how a Blackrock ETF can work. As buyers pile in, price surges, and Blackrock is perpetually buying bitcoin to back those orders at a price slightly higher than each order was placed. Losing on every new participant. Don’t tell me they bought it all in advance — at some point they run out of pre-purchased supply. Don’t tell me they just use paper bitcoin — they will eventually be rekt like FTX.

Random example of bitcoin utility: Historically, if I were going to prison for say 10 years, I’d likely lose all my assets or at best have to entrust them to fam/friends who might steal/waste/lose, and I’d come out destitute. Today, I could liquidate everything, buy bitcoin, put it behind 12 words, and carry it in my mind for the duration of my prison sentence, and (likely) come out richer. (Not a criminal, just randomly occurred to me)

My list keeps growing:
Ten inventions of bitcoin, EACH of which is so profoundly revolutionary that its value and impact cannot be calculated.
-Absolute scarcity: The first and only substance of finite quantity
-Real digital limits: Digital data bound by the laws of physics (via ‘proof of work’), creates singular digital objects that cannot be copied / reproduced
-Pure shared custody: The only asset that can be jointly-owned by multiple parties without any supervising authority
-Machine money: The only asset that can be independently possessed and spent by machines/AI (to pay other machines or even humans)
-Uneditable history: Immutable, unfalsifiable, time-stamped historical record of any data type (not just financial transactions!)
-Energy ‘dung beetle’: The only locate-anywhere, instant on/off energy consumer (enabling previously impossible renewables buildout, grid stabilization, and methane mitigation — flared and landfill)
-Non-violent property defense: Secures real assets via impenetrable cryptography rather than by threat of violence (by person or state)
-Time-locking: The first and only asset that can be irretrievably locked away for a pre-determined interval of time — without any entity holding custody or having access
-Micro-transactions: Combined with Lightning network or similar protocol, enables instant, direct, global transaction of tiny amounts of value via internet
-Undetectable bearer instrument: The first and only bearer asset a person can carry on their person within their mind — across time, space, borders, scanners, searches — and with no limit on quantity
Each of these is an entirely new invention or discovery, not possible prior to — or without — bitcoin.

But it’s the same as for example buying from bisq right? I mean, the bitcoin I buy anywhere (except a miner) is most likely KYC to someone

2023-07-07 18:37:09 CEST

Hey y’all, help me understand something. If me and my friend have KYC sats, can’t we just clear the KYC by selling to each other for USD? Like I buy 0.1 BTC from him for USD, and he does the same to me. To fresh wallets. And pay whatever capital gains or loss taxes, obviously. But at that point, the privately purchased sats are KYC free, no?
