SBR is Speculative Defense, which is why I’m in favor of it. I think the word “dollar” will become synonymous with “sats” when they reach value parity and every dollar is backed 1:1 by a sat in the SBR. Dollar won’t survive in its current form, it has to evolve. And we should want it to evolve so as to not rug everyone relying on it.

Afaik professional investors have to carefully read all of the SEC filings to already know the answers to those questions before purchasing securities.
One of the reasons I’m focused on BTC as savings technology.

At the University of Wyoming’s Blockchain Stampede conference we did a deep dive on the value of Bitcoin, the role of mining, and how it balances electricity grids.
Thank you Matthew Skrlac for the invitation to speak and for organizing a great conference! https://image.nostr.build/c727c37f02ea7a02743e33b6e8c86b96efa4f5de17532d8e4648d694e8dc01c3.jpg

Transactions being censored is a hypothetical problem.
Mining can’t be monopolized, it’s the most competitive industry in the world.
Anyone can fabricate arbitrary centralization metrics and declare a hypothetical of theoretical censorship-resistance, for example 100% of hashrate is on planet Earth.

Might just take longer to accumulate censored transactions in the mempool

Censorship resistance is a dynamic, anti-fragile process, not a static feature. If there is censorship, people will pay higher fees to overcome it.

The metaphor is incorrect, because if a txid is censored, it just sits there in the mempool. Bitcoin is not destroyed, it’s not over, the transactor can simply CPFP/RBF until greedy miners defect.

You said it’s not censorship resistant, can you point to a txid that is currently being censored?

Ok, censor a transaction

I still remember when I first saw a Max Keiser clip in 2011, he was talking about silver and JPM.
I never would have guessed that a decade later we would be together at the inauguration gala of El Salvador’s President. Hugely grateful for Max’s energy and humor, a hero of bitcoin! https://image.nostr.build/a27a5748fe24075223833b384a95510de22b29345874ab796ffa62bb9026d625.jpg

Yes sorry, I didn’t realize BTC++ was already scheduled!
