@Fonta1n3 @pierre_rochard Ah sorry. So imagine I give you and another person 5 dice each. I say "first person to get 3 ones in one roll gets $20." You each start rolling. The faster you roll the better your odds. Someone wins, they get $20. Now I say "Again, but 4 ones". I've adjusted the difficulty. — PolitiTweet.org

@JGMontoyaS @pierre_rochard People need to start working to secure their own interests instead of always hoping / assuming / voting for someone else to do it for them. So true education and personal responsibility. Anything else won't be the real thing, because if it's on a platter it can be taken away. — PolitiTweet.org

@Justin_Schmidt1 @kylebshr @pierre_rochard When the government prints more money, the money you already have becomes worth less (inflation). This is very similar to a tax, except harder to directly see. Most people's investments (real estate, stocks) are an attempt to avoid this tax on dollars. — PolitiTweet.org

@Ak_Bakshi @pierre_rochard Pretty much except the audience is usually family members and there's only so much chanting they can handle per day. — PolitiTweet.org

@zherring @pierre_rochard If there's a lever that can be moved with any form of power, the powerful will find a way to move it. Bitcoin is the maximum amount of decentralized, and therefore the most difficult to leverage power against. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

@aleoillull @pierre_rochard @Trezor I have this exact same feeling! Mostly that I'll just lose it. I'd love some advice from anyone with a bit more experience in this department. You know how some parents are chill with their kids taking risks and other parents are nervous wrecks? I'd imagine it's like that. — PolitiTweet.org

@Hanakookie1 @pierre_rochard Hmmm idk I mostly do burgers. — PolitiTweet.org

@CappuccinoChief @pierre_rochard Because most people are sad and mad all the time on here but "everything is good for Bitcoin" as the saying goes so Bitcoin twitter gets to celebrate constantly. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

@NikolaNakamoto @pierre_rochard No idea! Mining seems like a really cool industry I would have no stomach for. It's basically pure economics. If the price goes up double they keep at it, if it doesn't the scale back I guess? — PolitiTweet.org

@C_as_in_Carl @pierre_rochard "Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal... Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be." Matthew 6:19-21 NLT https://t.co/MAeLbJKVfJ — PolitiTweet.org

@zherring @pierre_rochard Eliminating rent seekers is awesome and world changing but they'll find a way back in unless religiously guarded against. Bitcoin is the only blockchain I'm aware of that truly can make a stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

@musicaljoeker @pierre_rochard It took a long time to find something scarcer than gold, and that thing is Bitcoin. Anything is possible, but every day it seems less likely. Bitcoin makes the right tradeoffs, and seems capable of adopting new innovations where necessary. Its best features are rarely copied. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

@ole_ary @pierre_rochard The huge innovation here is the inability to deflate Bitcoin. Even if a gold backed cryptocurrency was started with the best of intentions and allowed to flourish for decades, eventually someone with power would find a way to inflate. Bitcoin is the money with the best defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

@ole_ary @pierre_rochard No and this is also a partial answer to @zherring: blockchains are useful as a record of actions on that blockchain. Once you need information about something external to the blockchain you lose all advantages of the blockchain. A centralized blockchain is just as dumb. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

@zherring @pierre_rochard Biggest barrier is the lack of understanding. People don't even know what money could or should be, so they don't even know to be looking for Bitcoin as a solution. If an alt is a money, it's doing it wrong because Bitcoin exists and already makes the correct tradeoffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul @futurepaul

@kylebshr @pierre_rochard Hopefully never. Right now Bitcoin is mostly for transferring value forward in time. USD is for the government to tax us invisibly through debasement and for projecting power in the world. So they're going to feel a lot different! — PolitiTweet.org

@atonal440 Yeah, I believe there's rampant algorithmic manipulation going on, but even I agree this is probably the number one cause of people thinking censorship is happening. This is a bed these platforms made for themselves, though. — PolitiTweet.org

Never attribute to censorship that which is adequately explained by us just being shitty at our core technological competencies. - Big tech usually — PolitiTweet.org
