Hash power replaces military power? China can take your Bitcoin by putting a gun to your head and demanding your private keys! Hashpower is irrelevant there! And you can’t really claim a boating accident and then live off your Bitcoin if the PRC is standing over you and monitoring your every move. 2023-03-10T14:21:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxmz40z6srzh6guew4m7jrl3ky786dan4evzxxk8thx8ee6anydvszyp4kn878y9fpn8sal2ug8h84dfwmhwwkehq7cx89z2xwj4gpf48867c6xl2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswc39vg2nvhyajejlqzxta5t5zt8rt7z9n2p8cepqt4f0az73wdvsrwtphg'>nevent1q…tphg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That’s what seems an anomaly though. Anarchists are fundamental anti-State — it’s the idea that Bitcoin separates State and money thereby effectively ultimately destroying the State. Ie the view that the State is the enemy, regardless of whether it’s the USG or PRC etc.<br/><br/>But the Softwar thesis seems this weird notion of USG somehow using Bitcoin to defend against other nations by projecting hashpower rather than military power? I don’t get that at all… but I admit I’ve not tried hard enough to study it. 2023-03-10T14:14:07Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrlpphqy972m7gywckap07mx9y2t4mt7xvgsj3ramxtsh0aakya4czyp4kn878y9fpn8sal2ug8h84dfwmhwwkehq7cx89z2xwj4gpf4886czlhyr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2h2r5wjyvs8scfd47yrswzgvdruj82cays93sxgempn57qmjn8ag62fuju'>nevent1q…fuju</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Interesting, will watch the video and give it another chance.

It prevents China from double spending US bitcoin? 2023-03-10T13:46:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgjwzc2ez08tcmwfw7yskkawlupp6awqfyuprh5sxmwkxv47fqkyczyp4kn878y9fpn8sal2ug8h84dfwmhwwkehq7cx89z2xwj4gpf4886zat00j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsql75mfs2jmkeses9z9j9c0ezfd0lc5yhqdlpqv3r28c25dgaxaxs8xp3sq'>nevent1q…p3sq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Have to admit my instinctive reaction is very negative on the guy and the “Bitcoin is a weapon” take. Not sure I can ever come to terms with that viewpoint. Bitcoin is voluntary and peaceful and I see any narrative to the contrary as harmful. 2023-03-10T13:37:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs05r0jnvrjkjlwpwwq3jwce8acuhx9v2trhputu9n75xjn6e72utszyp4kn878y9fpn8sal2ug8h84dfwmhwwkehq7cx89z2xwj4gpf488685cnvv Is there a Softwar TLDR? 2023-03-10T12:16:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp2t0jpj3lj29m3ejlkzs2xav8nkecr6rw4hmda8k6e9ftsn7arrczyp4kn878y9fpn8sal2ug8h84dfwmhwwkehq7cx89z2xwj4gpf488632y233 PV Nostr fam 🧡 2023-02-21T14:21:47Z
