It’s not a line in the sand to tease btc/core/bitCORN “experts”;

it’s a tripwire.

If you’re not familiar with the significance of the “21 double-spend”, look up “btc double spend” and you’ll see all KINDS [1], ($800 billion worth as a matter of fact) of deliberately misleading treachery in the top Google search results. This shouldn’t surprise anyone at this point, as we all know Google reversed it’s “Do No Evil” policy LOOOONG ago. …

Dedicated to: My father, Robert Stanley Pitts (Jan 14, 1932), who was always grinding like a servant #2 and was born and died in an economic bottom, and Robert Stanley Pitts Jr, a “servant #1 who’s consistently deploying ALL his talents, and Rich Barton another servant #2 who became a servant #1 via his brainchild Expedia which was my first investment in the internet, Q1 2001.

It took me over 40 years to learn the REAL message of “The Parable of the Talents”. It is one of our ancestors’ greatest lessons, and we should all learn it early — but…

Dedicated to:

Jerry Chan, CPO of TAAL, who’s knowledge of BitCoin Node interworkings is only eclipsed by his modesty (and who contributed a nifty idea of saving a lil’ bit of power via NONCE-reuse as well as better explaining BitCoin Network relay fees)

You’ve seen the complaints and criticisms:

“generating Bitcoin requires a truly staggering amount of energy. The electricity used in a single Bitcoin transaction, for instance, could power a house for a month.” — Adam Jezard, World Economic Forum

“it’s impossible for 98 percent of the devices during their lifetime to make the calculation that actually results in a reward. So, the rest are…

BitCoin was legal at creation; commoditizing data with protocol rules violates no laws — anymore than inventing the container, which automated much of what stevedores did, was.

The fact that BitCoin makes for a commodity which HAPPENS to function extremely well as money, doesn’t make it illegal. Perhaps the better way to say it, is BitCoin is misunderstood due to its youth. If recorded history were better (see Tominaga Nakamoto), we’d probably find fine historical precent in ancient Lydia at the time of the first electrum coins. Gold and silver already existed WELL before coins were created to commoditize and…

HISTORICAL PRECEDENT as lie-detector test

Dedicated to the mothers of invention:

Who work thru adversity & lovingly devote themselves to their children’s enlightenment

History repeats itself.

This occurs because there’s so much history, yet human nature doesn’t change much. There’s a LOT more homosapien history than it seems, simply by the numbers: Graecopithicus is a 7 million year old humanoid fossil dated to a time period right after homosapiens evolutionarily split away from the chimps. Maybe it was comparatively hairier and literally dumb, but when Graecopithicus was alive it likely felt love, hate, rivalry, jealousy, vanity, happiness, and drive to…

Dedicated to my wife & children: I started blogging and posting on social media in 2017 as an open letter and wisdom-transfer to them, with as many personal stories as I can include. If no one reads my writing but them, the time spent is worthwhile.

What is BitCoin?

How many people have asked? How many people have answered; yet, you still don’t REALLY know what the hell BitCoin is. Some say it’s just digital money. The “digital” part is obvious, it typically means computers and computer networks are involved. But what about “money”? What is money? …

Thanks to Mr Nicky Niu the BitCoin Tramp being a titan in the #BSV community, his single powerful tweet today…

…resulted in SLictionary reaching its database limit today — something we couldn’t imagine given we haven’t even been recording transactions for a full month yet. So we upped our limit immediately upon realizing we HAD a daily limit on the Beta-release https://slictionary-fc2a0.web.app/ website. [We aren’t releasing on www.slictionary.com until July when we’ve completed what we consider our base requirements for being a well-rounded application with a proper feature set (We have something called Word Bounty coming which is quite…

…resupporting your decades-long views of the future while the market tells you loudly how stupid you are, you come to realize that writing down your thoughts at certain critical points can serve a purpose. But why must we always try so hard to be humble on the other side of the coin, if we write for therapy during the tough times, perhaps we can write in hope of regaining level-headedness during euphoric victories as well? Yin AND Yang, no?

It is with that in mind…
