Liberty begins when you can choose between two things that are truly different to you. Thus our freedom increases when we create more alternatives. Whereas democracy tries to find a single solution and to force it on everyone using the majority.
by "backend platform" do you mean the blockchain API ? It's the only thing that runs on a server, and is also provided by whatsonchain or mattercloud independantly, and I don't think you would say these stole it from Clemens too ?
Good for you. As a dev you almost always download the codebase to your own computer or servers to work on editing it, so I don't know what these prove. It's also only half the part of a proof which is about comparing 2 pieces of code.
not sure it can be said including javascript in op_returns "belongs" to anyone. Someone probably did it before Clemens too. That's why we invented the process of law & proofs to draw the line between theft and inspiration of a general idea.
Tyranny is constantly moving forward in small, very quiet steps. Freedom arrives late but like a tidal wave.
Don't want to vaccinate ? so you're going to lose your job and your right to travel. Oh, you changed your mind ? great. Please sign this form saying it was a free & voluntary choice.
Never trust the majority to do the right thing, especially about what matters at their time.
Who realizes that there is no upper bound to the fee/block reward ratio ? it can literally reach 2000000% on bsv
It might turn out that a government can only maintain this show for so long as they benefit from massive amounts of capital flowing from outside into their country because the country was poor enough to be attractive for manufacturing relocation.
The big question of your times is: Where we right to believe that liberty & economic prosperity are linked by natural laws ? Chinese government pretends to prove it wrong, bu it might all be a show, and we will see if they can keep it up over time.
good question. Seems we have 226,000 doctors and 700,000 nurses. With the others, the total reaches 1,200,000 from what I found. so we are at 25% of all health workers being concerned
It is time for entrepreneurs to become freedom fighters and for freedom fighters to become entrepreneurs.
Living is the most evolved state of matter. — Hubert Reeves, astrophysicist
The government already started to & threatened to imprison anyone doing underground healthcare, but that is the only way anyway.
for clarity they actually can resign if they accept to lose all severance pay, but they cannot get another job if they don't, and the government refuses to fire them because that would mean to pay them damages, so they are in a bind.
Tonight in my country, 300,000 health workers are banned from working but also from resigning, forced to stay deprived of their salary, under penalty of imprisonment, for refusing the vax. 300,000 who still chose to stick to their principles. True heroes.
just had a special human2human experience on twetch (DMs) that is mainly reliant on bitcoin features and that let me realize that there are interactions happening here that go deeper that on any other digital communication channel.
The world moves in the direction of those who are determined to surrender nothing to the realization of their dreams. Which means, to sacrifice everything for them.
Liberty is not subject to a scientific study.
Fascinated by the fact that english invented 2 words for liberty: "freedom" & "liberty". That isn't the case in my language nor in most. If I get it correctly, liberty is external, about society, and freedom is internal, about a state of mind. Fascinating.
It is the exchange of goods and services that unites men in liberty.
In El Salvador, some are getting jailed for taking a stand against BTC as the government wants to force all businesses to accept it. Pretty sure Satoshi would have hated Bitcoin being forcibly imposed.
