Cryptocurrency: WHO KILLED BITCOIN?!?! Another Fork Is Coming!
by professor rat 27 May '23

The West can act now and then in a concerted intelligent fashion - two examples - the Ozone Layer emergency and the International Crime of aggressive invasion into Ukraine. This got me thinking that IF ( huge hypothetical ) the Austro-Libertarian narratives somehow gloms onto Big Dog ( after at least one failed attempt - by REASON ) and if the leap to hyperspace is made ( not so unlikely ) the Western Powers might enlist a global coalition of the willing to ' Nationalize " Btc and emasculate it as a sort of global CBDC. Its a remote possibility - far more likely is they die trying - possibly by CYPHERPUNK 2027. But this is the only scenario whereby Big God is forked in any deeply meaningful way going forward. Its like an asymptotic force now- the power needed to break it off increases as its applied! Break-a-leg Earthly Powers. Btc is cryptoanarchist enough to replace youse. We'll worry about your obit once you're dead. TL/DR we kill the powers-that-be or we do nothing

Batshit, Semich and Gramps? It can't have been these " everyones " - two of which created a trillion in new wealth and the third - well - at least one US senator is signing up for top-down APster! Frankly if humanity doesn't deadpool the entire KGB shortly the Strong AI may as well SKYNET the lot of us. Cypherpunks collapse governments. Subject: Everyone a remailer: Everyone a Mint: Everyone an assassin https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=100872510706876&w=2 Strong-crypto, digital money, anonymous networks, pseudonyms, zero- knowledge proofs, reputations, information-markets, netwar, collapse-of-governments.

I knew I was sticking my neck out with CYPHERPUNK 2027 That's what cypherpunk revolutionaries do. And that's the stark contrast between me and preening, posing, posturing pretenders. ( Like Mange, Semich, Gramps, etc - you know the infamous and unholy larger CIRCLE of EUNUCHS ) " When cypherpunks are called terrorists we will be doing our job " Old cryptoanarchist proverb

It runs at 225MHz with an FSB of 75MHz, making its name a bit deceptive - supposedly it performs as a Pentium would if it were clocked at 300MHz...

Usually this limits you to Thunderbird class CPUs. This is an Athlon XP Barton modified to have a 20x multiplier. The CPU therefore runs at 2GHz (2400+), giving this old board a real boost! 5 10 68 oerg866 @oerg866 May 16 The cool PvE mode everyone has been looking forward to was cancelled.

Cryptocurrency: WHO KILLED BITCOIN?!?! Another Fork Is Coming!

Everyone knows that Bitcoin Scaling and Privacy was killed. But few these days know by who. And Saylor is head in sand. And nobody has started a nextgen no-features p2p private hi-txrate pure cash, they're all still trying to startup every feature for everyone, that won't win. And yet another fork of Bitcoin-BTC is coming, which is unlikely to become a minimalistic winner as such.
