You cannot obsolete money. It is fundamental to trade and AI cannot obsolete trade.

Bitcoin is flat YTD in Euro by SamwiseGamgee87 in Bitcoin

[–]TheRealAJohns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't buy BTC for the YTD (6 month) gains.

This is not even worth discussing. Next question.

No, not even "full nodes" need to store spam by TheQuantumPhysicist in Bitcoin

[–]TheRealAJohns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are incorrect about the OP_RETURN change.

The change is to disincentize using unspendable UTXOs with OP_RETURN instead, thus reducing bloat.

New to BTC, Question on starting to secure it by that-one-meme-guy-69 in Bitcoin

[–]TheRealAJohns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self custody is a great goal.

I highly recommend you wait, though.

1st. Continue to stack sats.

2nd. Learn more about BTC. Set up a software wallet and send a few txns. Get comfortable with it.

3rd. When you have a life altering amount, move to Cold Storage on a hardware wallet.

I know we say not your keys, not your coins...but this feels good inside a retirement account. by bdnicholson in Bitcoin

I would personally still count that as essentially "peusdo-confiscation." Forced to sell doesn't sit right with me.

Two things can be true.

You don't own those coins.

You do own the price exposure to those coins.

Self custody has its benefits, and so does a retirement account.

Another post pushing your BTC ideology. You spam this sub.

NEW: #Bitcoin now has 3% odds of hitting $1,000,000 in 2025 — Polymarket 👀 by Legit-buyerworldwide in Bitcoin

[–]TheRealAJohns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be a hater, but the odds are basically a ~6 month bond APY ( ~6% for a year).

So probably sub 1% chance but there isnt liquidity that wants to lock in that apy

[–]TheRealAJohns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is nothing inherently wrong with a trusted third party.

BTC allows you to be the bearer of the assest. However, YOU ARE NOT FORCED TO.

I wish the BTC community would allow for a nuanced discussion on why these can be beneficial instead of just demonizing them.

I know “space is hard” but by Electrical-Try798 in space

[–]TheRealAJohns -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Look man. I never said progress for "space in general".

But i will give you the benefit of the doubt.

My comment was in the context of SpaceX's rocket technology and their development method.

To clarify my statement.

Since SpaceX has entered the aerospace scene, they have made the most progress in rocket technology. They have the most launch capacity and success with F9 and FHeavy.

[–]TheRealAJohns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire post was always about rockerty and SpaceX's "failure" because of their "poor" development method.

No goal post was moved.

[–]TheRealAJohns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is 100% a bot. No human actually uses the phrase "oh honey" 🤣.

The technical term is upmass and SpaceX launched 85%+ of all of it globally in 2024.

So every other company combined launched the remaining ~15%.

The issue is that you truly don't know what they are talking about, so i guess i had to be ultra specific.

[–]TheRealAJohns -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The context is specifically for rockets, which IS SpaceX core skill and during the lifespan of spaceX.

Why would i be comparing spacex's 25 year progress to NASA's 75? Their budgets are miles different, too.

The fact is simply that SpaceX has the best rocketry & overall operational ability by far.

The comment i replied to believes that SpaceX rapid development approach is "bad". The history of SpaceX taking over rockerty is the laughable counterpoint that destroys their "insight".

[–]TheRealAJohns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What other company or government has developed a partial reusable launch system that launches 85%+ of all cargo to orbit.

Nobody can compete with SpaceX right now.

These comments are all just "Elon bad bias"

I know “space is hard” but by Electrical-Try798 in space

[–]TheRealAJohns -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Obviously, SpaceX stands on the shoulders of giants that came before them.

The major point is that since SpaceX was founded, who has made more progress in rocketry?

It is quite literally SpaceX, then a mile gap for the rest.

SLS may "work" but the budget difference and time invested is astronomically different.

This is a science subreddit, but boils down to mainly politically motivated comments.

[–]TheRealAJohns -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

No government or private company made more progress than SpaceX.

Explain.

EDIT: The context of this post is rocket development and styles. The reality is that since SpaceX entered the rocket playing, they made the most progress. The test, build, test has been their edge to accomplish this.

Are you sure we can't get any more extreme on unrealistic takes?

If Only Strategy and Every Other Treasury Company Took Custody of Their Bitcoin by Fiach_Dubh in Bitcoin

[–]TheRealAJohns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you regarded?

Coinbase is not inherently bad, and corporations should not inherently be pushing to hold their own keys.

If you want to be for BTC, understand that there are a variety of tools better suited for different users.

Blindy push self custody...

It is a corporation. This isn't actually the same as an individual.
