Who's "we"? Maybe you don't need it. Personally, I don't need golf courses, professional football or a new phone every year.

How about an international treaty instituting a carbon tax, if C02 is what you actually want to minimize. Sounds like that's not the goal based on your comment though.

Ah, the electricity police strike again. You're allowed to use the electricity you paid for for some computations, but not for others. Seems logical and enforceable.

It should be +1 day per page before it can be voted on. It's completely absurd that the people voting on these bills don't have the chance to read and understand them before having to give an opinion and change the laws governing

Yes, it is. If you have a deposit in a bank, you are a creditor of that bank. If the bank fails, you might not get that money back. Also, maybe try to form an actual coherent argument, rather than continuing to claim I don't know what

> The point stands: CPI inflation is the one that actually affects us. If your only purpose in life is to be a "consumer", sure. But changes in relative purchasing power between people also distort you're ability to affect

My purchasing power is fine, because I became a bitcoiner. I was pretty angry during the financial crisis though, and am letting it come through in this thread.

Yeah, in this case offsetting exposure to the inflating fiat monetary and banking system. No need for name calling.

by louloulou 5y ago
So condescending. That's because Bitcoin is not widely used as money yet . Those things don't all happen at the same time, they happen sequentially. - collectable -> It's cool, I want some. - store of value -> it holds

Uh, because they're stealing the purchasing power that I worked hard to obtain, and then using it to bail-out debtors without my consent. Also, I don't really care what the price of a "general basket of goods and services&quo

by louloulou 5y ago
You're talking about consumer price inflation, I'm talking about monetary supply inflation. A basket of consumer goods and services is a nonsensical way to hedge monetary inflation under anything but the most extreme conditions, s

by louloulou 5y ago
Some things are better hedges than others. Bitcoin happens to have been the best over the past decade. Edit: I'd argue this is because it has better monetary properties than the alternatives.

by louloulou 5y ago
Who said anything about inflation. It's about central planners arbitrarily moving around purchasing power in the system. If I have $10 and you have $10, and then someone prints $10 and gives it to you. You went from having the same pur

All printing money does is transfer wealth from savers (people long the currency) to debtors (people short the currency) without their consent. Large financial crises occur because this keeps happening. Bitcoin is a way out, as savers lea

I only get my medical advice from rap music, so I for one am glad youtube has provided me with this safety net. I hope they target the misinfo on how to safely fuck hoes next - that could also use some correction.

I mean splitting and fusing atomic nuclei is something that happens all the time. Hard to claim he was wrong, just a few orders of magnitude off on the energy required to do it.

Exactly, and they're not mutually exclusive. You can still let players buy new stuff on your platform as well as import other value/items.

I'm running GrapheneOS on a 4a right now and it's smooth like butter - maybe you needed to wait for a few updates. The camera has improved a lot as well but is still not close to the stock google camera. It seems like what you&#x2

I guess that's why it's fallen in value so much relative to the USD over the past decade.

Inflation protection for long-term savings is a huge use case.

Lol at most of HN thinking Bitcoin is a ponzi and the fractionally reserved US dollar monetary&banking system is not. It's been over a decade guys, try opening your eyes and your minds or you're going to go down with the ship.
