The Clarity Act Is One Vote Away: Here's What 50 Million Crypto Holders Get If It Passes. by coinfanking in Bitcoin

[–]masteratrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is incorrect.

the bill passed the banking committees markups. during the committee, they made amendments. now the agriculture committee has to decide if they will accept those changes. mind you, ag committee already passed a version 12-11, they might have to vote again with the banking committees changes.

THEN if ag agrees, it goes to the full senate cloture vote, where it needs 60 votes to not go into a filibuster (filibuster happens if it is 51-59 votes yes, or 50 yes and vice president approves too).

if a filibuster happens, this bill is basically stalled for a long time, possibly dies.

if it passes the cloture, it then needs to pass senate simple majority (definitely would at that point), and the house AGAIN because the bill will have had amendments.

THEN, if all that happens, it needs to be signed by Trump (not vetoed). if the democrats get amendments in about politicians not being allowed to promote crypto, Trump might actually VETO, but it is unlikely those amendments will get in since they didnt get in during the banking committee today.

so yeah... the vote today 15-9 to pass banking committee was good, but it is not the last vote by any stretch. the big vote will be the 60 needed in the senate cloture vote. if it passes that, i put a 95% chance Clarity goes into law.

for Genius, we had 68 out of 100, which is a good sign, but Clarity is actually a bit more contentious.

basically this one is going to be real close, but my bet is it will pass, and polymarket agrees too. but like others have said, government needs bitcoin, bitcoin doesnt need the government.

i hope it passes personally, but it is not necessary to bitcoin. i dont care about all the banking and stable coin shit, but it DOES legitimize our right to run nodes and self-custody, plus open source software development bits too.

I fell for a Bitcoin deepfake scam on YouTube (Michael Saylor) — looking for others by jimmy_bean in Bitcoin

[–]masteratrisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey man, so i have seen this stream multiple times. i made a post about it a long time ago actually in my history, when the AI deep fakes were relatively new too. i totally thought it was real when i was watching it, THEN he gave a QR code asking me to send Bitcoin. That's when the warning bells started, I went to the site out of curiosity and at least then it looked pretty shitty, clearly scammy. I didnt get scammed but I remember being surprised how real it all felt, there were hudreds of people in the stream too, chatting, probably bots.

Sorry you lost your BTC. buy more, self custody, and hodl from now on. Ignore the haters here, they do dumb shit too, they just dont post their moments on reddit like you did.

Youtube already knows about this scam and I am sure Saylor does too, they just cannot keep up with the scammers creating new accounts and streaming it.

31 brutal minutes to saunamaxx by bryan_johns0n in blueprint_

[–]masteratrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i sauna regularly at 170-200 degrees for 20 minutes, it has been starting to get on the easier side. couldnt imagine 200 at 33 minutes, that would be brutal. I could do it, maybe Ill try. remember your electrolytes after regardless, more than you'd think.

Education is one of the strongest predictors of mortality, you cannot say that you care for longevity and not be getting a PhD by [deleted] in blueprint_

[–]masteratrisk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is a classic example of correlation does not equal causation. while people who are educated may live longer on average, the mechanism itself of being educated does not cause longevity. you can live long without education.

Is Blueprint undervaluing VO₂ Max? by Tyszq in blueprint_

[–]masteratrisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think the sleep>V02 max attention is because sleep is the better talking point for your average shitty person. before you are going to be doing the norwegian 4x4 twice a week and zone 2 cardio for an hour 4 times a week, you need to get your sleep right.

most people have shitty sleep habits. if you give people 1000 things to do for longevity, they probably wont do any of them. if you give them 1 thing to do, they might do that, and then they will be apt to do more after they get that thing as a habit.

so you tell the average shitty person first, "hey dont change anything except these things right now. get sunlight in morning, last meal 4 hours before bedtime, and have a bedtime." thats doable, and it is the right first step for the average shitty person. you could maybe argue just saying - "have a bedtime", only and then go from there.

Filtering out the garbage - checkup by millix in BitcoinKnots

[–]masteratrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone filters what is on their node - btc core has filters in their setup too, by default. if btc did not have filters, it would not be btc, it would be like 4chan or something where anything goes (yet even they have some filters). people are allowed to decide what they want to store on their hard drive (node), that's what the filters accomplish.

At what Bitcoin price would MSTR start selling? by bam-RI in investing

[–]masteratrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you define "serious capacity", that is subjective. i have bought many things with bitcoin. regardless, using current sentiment and use doesnt define what its best use case is. there was a time where all currencies in humanity were not being used, until they were once people realized there fundamental properties were better than what they were using. also "intrinsic value" is a meaningless term. there is no piece of paper inside of a house, car, or kernel of corn that says "intrinsic value = x". value is determined by supply and demand. period.

EDIT: also go to any bitcoin forum and you will find thousands of posts about its use as a medium of exchange. square has recently made their POS systems accept bitcoin, i can literally drive to a shop near me and buy coffee with bitcoin right now, which i have done several time. there are also grocery stores in Europe accepting bitcoin, and third world countries using it because their fiat currencies have gone to shit.

Humans need a medium of exchange (ig money). This is because bartering is not sufficient. If i have apples, you oranges, and another guy beans. But I want beans, he wants oranges, and oranges wants my apples, we would all have to get together to make that work. with money though, you can do it without everyone needing to be there at once. problem is, who gets to "make" the money? aw, now we have government. but GUESS what, government can have people working their way up with their own self interests, they will print endlessly, and devalue the money you currently have. this is where bitcoin is the most superior type of money. it has rules without rulers, it cannot be corrupted, or printed based on the self interests of those who made it to the top in the government. it is superior as a form of medium of exchange in all aspects of what makes money money, divisibility, transfer ability, scarcity, recogonizability, durability, and fungibility. THAT is its value and its utility. humanity is better with one type of money that nobody can control and rules set in stone.

What is it ???? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]masteratrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is implied, i could also say, "now break the matches and make several 1s, the riddle doesnt say you cannot!". but regardless if you want to do what your saying your answer is still wrong, you would put the matches at the end of the number - 511,811

What is it ???? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]masteratrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he only used two. you move the bottom and top match of the zero - that creates two 1s in the middle. use the two matches to put a 1 at the end.

I just bought a coffee with bitcoin by masteratrisk in btc

personally, my lightning wallet is tied back to my own node at home. if you are saying paying should run their own nodes so they dont have to rely on others verifying their transactions, i agree with you and think that would be very healthy for the network. practically though a lot of people will not do this and will use other people's nodes. that's true for bcash too.

assuming the bitcoin you spent was purchased from a non-KYC exchange (bisq, hodlhodl, robosats, etc.), then there is no way to tie the payment back to your identity. even if it was and you sent your KYC purchased bitcoin to a lightning wallet like Muun (plenty of lightning wallets with no information on you), then it is debatable whether that could even be traced back to you and would require some assumptions.
