    <br> Bitcoin’s protocol is completely open, allowing anyone to implement an application or device that is compatible with Bitcoin. Mike Schmidt: Greg had mentioned DLCs as another potential protocol or different types of protocols that should be considering relay policy, mempool, and getting confirmations. Finally, as it turns out, Bitcoin does have some limited “absolute” intrinsic value: the Bitcoin protocol can be used for other purposes than just money. It seems as though governments are starting to realize that their current un-backed system of money is in danger, and so is the racket currently run by payment processors. Since both gold and fiat are belief-based monies, is one better than the other? The only conclusion is that Satoshi’s motivation was to make the world a better place, and nothing else. Better base your paper on a mineral. You’ve heard the argument by fans of the gold standard that fiat currency isn’t backed by anything; it’s just paper that they can print arbitrarily. Sure it can be used for jewelry and industry, but so can diamonds and copper. What makes gold money and copper a metal? It’s gold’s millennia-long history of use as money, which induces the belief that it will continue to be valued as money into the future<br>>
    <br>> Not by a long shot: gold is still bought and sold at a value much higher than what it should be based on its use in industry. After the season is over, instead of throwing out used wrapping paper, use it to help protect ornaments and fragile decor from getting damaged in storage. Take your used holiday gift paper and wrap breakable ornaments with it or scrunch it between packed decorations for some extra cushioning. Let’s compare gold, the metal, with unbacked paper dollars. What makes fiat more than just pieces of paper is the belief that it will have value in the future. The fact is, it doesn’t have to be backed by anything except this belief. If we live in a free society, the government’s CBDC will be backed by bitcoin, and not by belief in the government. Christians will be raptured before the Antichrist rises to power (2 Thessalonians 2:7). In the tribulation, new Christians will refuse to receive the mark of the beast. Those in charge of the mints have undue power over our economy. Fearing a sudden shift in power and information control, governments around the world had begun threatening to restrict access to such cryptographic protocols<br>>
    <br>> These allow individuals to manage information associated with their identities, create identifiers, control who they’re shared with and hold attestations without counting on a central authority, sort of a government agency. In the next term, the justices will reconsider a doctrine that currently requires courts to defer to agency expertise, which may further curb administrative authority. The predictions are based on years of data analysis and estimates of how the various factors affecting BNB will perform in the coming years. Also included are our regular sections describing updates to services and client software, new releases and release candidates, and notable changes to popular Bitcoin infrastructure software. After creating and nurturing the software and community through its early years, he handed the keys over to some trusted associates and disappeared forever. This chart shows the growth in the number of daily bitcoin transactions over time. It’s a heavy rock that can’t be easily carried around or broken up for small transactions. DROP` is just a refcount decrement, and the amount of memory used remains small. Since the GC nursery acts as a large buffer of potential allocations, the amount of work done in both cases would be the same, at least until the number of allocs exceeds the nursery size<br>>
    <br>> Osuntokun’s pull request for LND is still marked as a work in progress as of This Internet page writing, so we don’t know yet when the feature will become generally available to LND users or whether other LN implementations will also provide the same feature in a compatible way. The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. Backing currency with gold was one decent solution, but still subject to the aforementioned Gold Rush problem. Backing a CBDC with Bitcoin also solves the problems that make Bitcoin a poor medium of exchange. The government could cryptographically prove that the Bitcoin backing digital dollars actually exists and is securely held, instead of relying on Americans’ faith that hunks of gold exist in a basement somewhere. The argument goes that once the feds issue a cryptocurrency backed by the limitless faith in the U.S. Thus, China has created a digital yuan and the U.S. The message he signed in the first block (the genesis block) explains why he thought Bitcoin needed to exist, while also proving that it hadn’t been created earli<br>/p>
