Yeah clearly diplomacy is over. It seems the Trump admin (or the deep state or whatever) thinks they can just muscle the situation using energy and weapons.
That may work for a little while, but it'll end in catastrophy. A majority of Americans are not happy with Trump, but they are also ignorant towards how bad things can get (as you said). While we are supposedly an 'affluent' nation, things are not good here. People are stressed, sick, overweight, distracted, and addicted. "We the people" have been asleep at the wheel long enough for democracy to actually die.
Hoppe might say that was inevitable, and he could be right.

Being largely ignorant of physics, I can't even approach the basics of the question you posed without a lot of reading, but philosophically I can see there are some assumptions baked in.
Namely that Bitcoin itself represents reality and energy/physical matter. All of this needs support. The bitcoin network utilizes and relies upon physical energy, but so does television and pizza for that matter. i.e., one cannot make pizza without expending energy.
In order to engage properly with these topics, I think it's important to lay out the entire thought process from first principles. It's possible your paper has done this; admittedly I have not felt compelled to read it yet.
Many of the notes I have seen on this topic have been interesting, and I'm hopeful that you are onto something, but I don't think baiting physicists into debate is the same as doing proper research.
Likewise, any layman's 'intuitive' understanding could just as likely be naivety on their part.

2026-05-02 04:55:35 CEST

- reply

I'd honestly like to engage with these ideas, but I don't have any background with physics so I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Have you had any kind of peer review of your work? I'd imagine this conversation might go somewhere in an academic setting, but I don't know if we have any physicists on nostr.

Interesting. I honestly still know very little about liquid. Have you seen updates on Tether moving off of Tron and onto liquid?

2026-05-01 16:13:03 CEST

@nprofile…za3a given that Tether is currently sensoring transactions for governments, I am skeptical about the benefits of them owning 5% of the hashrate.
I can see several potential game theory avenues ahead, but personally I'd love to see Tether pushing for a more decentralization of mining pools.
Is that something they would be willing to focus time and attention to?

In my experience a majority of attendees at those conferences have never held sats in aelf custody

2026-04-28 13:01:09 CEST

Conferences & Meetups:
Years ago I was told that the big bitcoin conferences were not for bitcoiners anymore. I chose to go to Bit Block Boom for my first conference and then attend many smaller events across the globe. At this point I would say that BTC Prague is hands down the best large conference, but I had as much fun at many of the smaller ones.
I went to Nashville in 2024 and hosted a panel on bitcoin and psychedelics. Despite Trump's bumbling speech, there was still a good bit of signal at that conference and I had some great times with friends. The night time events were incredibly loud and fueled by drinking, which I found a bit surprising in comparison to other gatherings I've attended with bitcoiners.
In 2025 I was on the fence about attending Vegas, but last minute someone I have been trying to orange pill for years said they would go if I went and I wanted to see Ross speak; so I went. Vegas itself in many ways is the epitome of fiat. I find the strip incredibly entertaining, but ultimately a magnet for unhealthy behavior. The conference itself was very low signal, but I still saw many friends and spent time at the nostr booth, which was chill.
This year I decided not to go to Vegas; not because I hold a grudge, but simply because I don't enjoy it. The noise, lights, drinking, and mediocre food is not a draw for me; likewise most of the speakers. I know many people who are attending for various reasons and I know several great people who are involved in putting on the event.
Based on the trajectory I've witnessed with these conferences, it's unlikely I will be attending in the future. There's little room for cypherpunk freedom tech with FBI directors on stage a secret service doing security screening.
Some people can look at this and say it's an indication that bitcoin is being captured. To me this is just another stage in the adoption process. This is what the mainstream looks like and the trojan horse is currently being walked in the front gate. The conference serves it's purpoae, but in my opinion meetups will become increasingly more important as time goes on.
Less and less people will have the time, money, or interest to attend centralized events unless there is a business case for doing so. If you've never been to a meetup or hosted one, it might be worth considering. We will need local support for onboarding individuals and businesses when the time comes, and meeting other bitcoiners locally may prove to be a valuable network as fiat world continues to degrade.

The site is looking better than I've seen it before. I've got some unsolicited UX suggestions if you're interested to check them out:
1. On mobile the search results only load one image per row. In the screenshot above I see 5, which looks much better imo.
2. The search function pulled up a few items related to my keyword and then many more which were not. It would be nice if there was a division between those sections.
3. A link on each item listing that can take you to other items posted by the same vendor would be great. There is a loss of anonymity associated with that choice, but most vendors (now) would likely benefit from that. Giving vendors the option to turn it off could be good for those who don't want their items linked.
I thought of the second and third suggestions while trying to find a leathermint wallet and only one of three populated when I searched 'wallet', but I saw all three when I searched 'soap'. 🤙
