Great view on the current hastiness.
By the way, the same logic applies to working with humans.
If you genuinely care about what you are building and get your hands dirty, you can build amazing things with a small team.
If you simply delegate to others without caring or deeper insights, you get inferior results. Moreover, you have to grow the team just to manage the errors and complexity. This is why large institutions and companies become so bureaucratic and slow. Delegation without agency. Instead: rules, processes, workflows, hierarchies, supervision boards, etc.
If your agent md file keeps on growing, you are probably on the same path ;-)

From a more optimistic perspective, I would rather say AI enables software developers to perform well in almost any job. Because they are the ones who can adopt AI the fastest and can bring it to many other disciplines.

The US wants all your data, globally.
Actively fighting data sovereignty by lobbying against data flow restrictions while doing exactly that in the US.
The justifications are always the same. Come on, it's not about privacy or personal liberty. It's a power game. Power through data for me, not for thee.

How would you define the level of "processed food"?
Some processing is good and necessary. Some processing not so good. The quantification is even more difficult.
In general, I wouldn't rely on any of such scores.
My approach is:
1) I look at the ingredient list, which already tells a lot.
2) I assess the food quality with my own senses, if possible. Although sometimes color can be misleading.
3) The more bullshit bingo is printed on the packaging, the less likely I buy it.
It takes a bit of experience but over time you get the drill.

The Nutri score is a RELATIVE score comparing products from the same category.
There's higher score pizzas and lower score pizzas. But you cannot compare the pizza score to the honey score.
I agree that the scoring system has very limited usefulness.
In the end, your whole diet is what counts, not individual meals.

Sometimes we are being woven into a fabricated narrative without even realizing. It is deliberately being constructed to steer us into some direction. Seemingly small things that can add up to big shifts in societal sentiments if many of us are unaware and pick it up.
If we want to break free, we have to constantly question ourselves and make each other aware.

Hi @nprofile…56d8, might there be some narrative spinning going on here, that you are picking up? Why are UK and EU mentioned explicitly while censorship is happening all around the globe, including the USA?

Exactly. Slower block propagation cements mining centralization by incentivizing the largest miners to create their privileged peer network.

A convincing argument against KYC or ID verification is that it creates data that will eventually be hacked and makes everyone a target for targeted scams, social engineering attacks, etc.
Nobody wants to be a target and these attacks will increase in the coming years and become more sophisticated.

I see.
In the end both aspects are needed. Demand for censorship resistant transactions and private (or privacy preserving) mining.

2025-07-22 16:35:27 CEST

I agree that the subsidy provides a first runway for hashpower. Therefore, an attacker cannot simply spin up some hashpower themselves for the attack. OK.
However, I don't agree that this runway provides censorship resistance.
Public pressure might be helpful for now, but I doubt it will be enough long-term.
Even with spacially distributed energy availability and mining: What makes you so sure that nation states will not collaborate and push for censorship? (e.g. "sanctions") I am pretty sure they will some day. They will legally bind the miners to their will. Mining companies will comply, or they go out of business.
In the end, someone has to pay for the resistance. Either by directly mining the illegal/censored transactions or by paying a fee premium. In any case it's only possible with a sustained demand.

2025-07-22 15:40:43 CEST

- reply

It pays censoring miners exactly the same as it pays non-censoring miners.
This, it is censorship neutral.
What does provide censorship resistance is a fee premium by the censored transactions. That's the demand @nprofile…h58h referred to.

Thank you for the summary! Definitely worth working on these aspects.
For beginners your recommendations probably still leave them with many questions how to do this exactly. I wonder if you did that on purpose, because you want them to take some of the steps themselves. Learning and executing on privacy is serious effort.
Privacy for the lazy could be another article. This is probably the hardest but largest audience.

Not future generations. The devaluation of the currency happens within months to a few years. Equity and real estate get more expensive. Savers, salaries, retirement contracts get devalued.
As soon as more people understand that it's already the current generations' problem there would be more pushback.

I see. There's indeed a valuable point. It limits the applicability to mutual contracts, however.
I was thinking of cases without contract. Accidents, violation of property rights, children's rights, etc. There is still a need for a central law. And law enforcement. Or do you have ideas for that as well?

True. If you want to measure Bitcoin as an asset class, you can do that.
My main point with regard to @nprofile…89xw s note is that price-related metrics in general are the wrong focus.
He described Bitcoin as "A leaderless decentralized cypherpunk open source software project that secures property rights and free speech for anyone and destroys central banking and financial censorship". If that's what you care about in Bitcoin you should be looking at other metrics than market cap. IMHO focus on market cap or price and NGU mentality are one of the biggest threats for Bitcoin at the moment. They are delusionary and allure many people to follow the wrong leaders for the wrong reasons.

Number of transactions, fees paid, shops accepting bitcoin, mining centralization, ...
There are a number of metrics that tell you how well bitcoin is doing.
Market cap reflects only the speculative asset character. And even there it fails. Think of all the lost coins that still count towards market cap.

This is not an assumption. It's the fundamental question!
Without block rewards and fees there will be no mining. (assuming a free market and purely economic incentives)
Without globally decentralized mining bitcoin will not be secure.
This is independent of prices and cost of energy.
