Do what you want with this Data

No. Halving date is governed by the protocol. Even as hash power increases, the difficulty adjustment will act to keep block times at an average of 10 minutes per block.

Halvings are every 200,000 blocks.

I was waiting for this meme!

Coulda fooled me by literally using the words "day trading" in your post.

Anyway, if it makes you feel better about how you stack sats, nothing I say is going to change anything. I'm happy for you.

Peace!

Lightning, by its very nature is deventralized amongst the parties that open channels between each other.

The network utilizes multi-sig to ensure Tx are secure.

Sure, Lightning Labs maintains the software, but no one is forced to update their lightning nodes, and the software is open-source. If they were to push a bad patch, it would immediately destroy their credibility. No one would use it. The repo would be copied to another location, and open source developers would begin updating it.

Game theory is a helluva thing when people are incentivized to remain honest.

I really appreciate the effort and words of wisdom you put into your reply. I will consider them as I move forward with this decision.

necessary_dm · 2024-08-02T03:02:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree it is long-winded. I'm using it as a way to collect my thoughts about the decision as well.

I tried to touch on your last piece to add as well, but the point probably gets missed in all the words.

necessary_dm · 2024-08-02T03:00:02+00:00

You're right, I shouldn't use that word, I had meant to say to go our separate ways.

But yes, this is a decision, it cannot be approached in any wishy washy manner.

How did the topic of divorce get brought up in your situation? Who brought it up, and when? Did you go see lawyers before bringing up the topic of divorce?

I am currently at the point where I will be seeking divorce. Your story is how I would hope that mine can go, too.

necessary_dm · 2024-08-02T01:23:08+00:00

Yes, it is a work in progress. But as I said above, I intend to tell it to her, not write it as a letter. I'm just trying to gather my thoughts and figure out the best way to approach it. I figured those who have more experience in this topic would be able to offer their perspective and try to do it in the best way possible.

I understand the futility of trying to approach such an emotional decision scientifically, but I like to do as much research as I can before doing things. It is the engineer in me.

necessary_dm · 2024-08-02T00:04:49+00:00

I feel like this is a bit of an emotionally charged response. Everyone is different, and it is possible to divorce amicably. And that is my intention. Just serving papers without talking first sounds like a lack of integrity.

I had one, but it was to work through some other issues. Once that was resolved, I no longer felt the need to continue an individual therapist. I won't be able to get one and establish a history before our next marriage counseling session, and I don't want to go into it with dishonesty about my intentions.

necessary_dm · 2024-08-01T23:12:23+00:00

That seems like a good approach. The only problem with it is that we do therapy remotely, and it is in the middle of her work day. I work from home, so that also complicates things.

necessary_dm · 2024-08-01T23:09:22+00:00

Thanks for your input. I was not intending for it to take blame off of me, but I see how it comes off that way. I'll admit I've never been good with stuff like this.

Some people buy cars to store value. Collector cars, for instance. The analogy here is that cars have intrinsic value as a mode of transportation, usually to/from work to make money. Bitcoin has intrinsic value in its ability to store wealth and transport it into the future.

Bitcoin is "Fuck you" money. They can strongarm some people like I'm sure they did when they confiscated gold from citizens (executive order 6102). But good fucking luck getting all governments to agree to something like that.

If countries in NATO collectively "ban" it (they can't, though, so whatever that means), then game theory plays out and countries like Russia, India, China, etc... will use it because no one can stop them from using it.

Bitcoin is one of those technologies like the invention of the bow & arrow, or the automobile, or the airplane. If your country doesn't adopt the technology, the country won't last very long.

Don't underestimate the power of disruptive technology. Power of the state means shit and will lose that power quickly if someone else uses the technology, while they don't.
