Si un banco fuera hackeado por $1.4 mil millones:
- Congelar retiros
- Informar al gobierno
- Crear una comisión de investigación
- Meses de investigación
- Clientes haciendo filas
- Sucursales cerradas
- Competidores obteniendo una ventaja
La bolsa #Bybit fue hackeada por $1.4 mil millones.
- El director ejecutivo habló en vivo
- La industria se unió
- Los competidores brindaron apoyo
- 1 hora y todo volvió a la normalidad
- La industria misma está rastreando
- Cero retiros pendientes

Bitcoin's market dynamics remain resilient, with its price hovering around $95,000 amid increased miner interest in AI technologies. The cryptocurrency faces growing scrutiny from traditional financial institutions, yet it continues to attract investment and enthusiasm from vigilant supporters seeking autonomy from centralized systems. #Bitcoin #studybitcoin

AI现在真的是热闹，老虎证券内置的AI，tigerGPT已经接入DEEPSEEK，刚试了一下还不错，就是要完全领会我的意思还需要我有更好的描述。
由此，AI作为生产力工具，是把人从繁重的事务性劳作中解放出来，节省了大量时间精力以及原本需要付费得到的服务的成本费用支出，但是相应的，对使用者的逻辑思维以及语言表述能力的要求也更高。毕竟，真正重要的是提对问题，宁要高质量的提问不要机械性的解决方法，而如今的强制义务教育走的就是相反路径，把人变成做题家，变成随时可被替换的螺丝钉。

All the US allies also print their own monies. But they often use USD in international settlements. That international trade props up the USD, creates demand for it. But US allies do not really benefit from this arrangement (besides having security guarantees). Europe is economically sinking. So is NZ.

I like that take.
I'm still hopeful that it is a revolution, a paradigm shift. And it would be all to the good if it doesn't cause the powerful state apparatus to start crushing people. I'm just trying to comprehend the likely future scenarios.

Yeah. I have hope that bitcoin is the start of a paradigm shift, a massive revolution in how people and governments operate. But I also know how nasty governments can and will be if they feel threatened (just look at Julian Assange or Ross Ulbricht).

I agree bitcoin is a far better system. I want that system to replace the money printing, and the copy-your-credit-card-number bullshit. But if it stands in opposition to government funding it is doomed. So I just wonder how to strike a balance that works.
From the top down, the world is anarchic. But most of us live in bohemeth nation states. I'd prefer to have a small and highly engaged community that self defends, but I think the larger structures of power do not like such things (Texas may be the exception).

Yes I can imagine that, and yet also in that world the state will find a way to fund itself, possibly by forcing you to transfer to them some bitcoin. The only thing I'm sure of is that the state isn't going away, and the state will fight dirty when it feels threatened.
Institutions change all the time, so it's not impossible for this outcome. But the state will not just lie down and shrivel up.

Many countries still use cash, but less and less so. NZ has cash, but half the supermarket checkouts don't take it (you have to get in the right line).
Bitcoin is tracked on the blockchain, but not the associations between who owns which addresses. That is why I think KYC rules are going to become more onerous.
I totally agree it is great for long distance transactions.
I also agree it is a great long-term store of value (among many others). I think real estate and commodities have their place.

You should look at international relations. The international system is anarchic. it is precisely as you describe.... a large collection of smaller independent organisations (nations) with decentralized allegiances and leadership. I'm a realist. John Mearsheimer is pretty represenative of the realists. But I also have a soft spot for Jeffrey Sachs who knows that sincere talk and negotation can rise above the cold logic.

I agree in spirit with John Adams. I believe the character of the people matters in the utmost, far more than the specific laws and institutions.
I also agree bitcoin can't be shutdown. But the masses can't operate with bitcoin securely so the masses can be prevented from using it.

Institutions can be established. I like DOGE. Imagine if DOGE was in the constitution and had real teeth, forcing strict limits on all aspects of the government. Without something like that, government is hard to constrain.
American government is pretty well constrained compared to other western nations because of the American spirit of right-wing Americans. But you and I may not think it is constrained nearly enough.
I"m not sure non-debasable money prevents governments from becoming bohemeth parasites. Imagine gold was in use. Government can still tax at 65%, and physically take your gold at gunpoint.

NZ labour govt around 2000 commissioned a report from about 7 economists asking at what total tax take in %GDP would maximize economic growth. As a student of Murray Rothbard and Milton Friedman I would guess something like 5%. The results were pretty uniform at 18% - 24%. I'm not saying they are right. But the govt at the time was at about 35%. Today it is around 50%. BTW US is at about 20%, far lower than all other western countries, and yet right wing Americans complain the loudest like they are massively suffering (when in reality they suffer less than every other country). Just an observation.

I'm going to make some observations now that I've been thinking about it all day and I've read your responses.
BITCOIN IS A STORE OF VALUE THAT AVOIDS THE SCAM OF PRINTING DOLLARS. There are other stores of value, but bitcoin is one too.
BITCOIN IS GREAT FOR LONG DISTANCE ONLINE PAYMENTS. Probably the best argument for bitcoin I think I've heard. Better than cash since cash loses value from money printing at unpredictable times.
BITCOIN CANNOT BE SHUTDOWN: The people with good operational security cannot be stopped from participating in the bitcoin economy. But the vast majority of people will not and practically cannot have good operational security. And so this may bound bitcoin's growth. If people can come up with easy to use high-op-security systems for the masses (where the govt doesn't even know people bought the device, for example, which IMHO is unlikely but this is theory so...) then that could alleviate such a road block.
GOVERNMENTS HAVE OTHER WAYS OF FUNDING: As for governments taxing income and transactions, it does not have to be like that. Tracking all the finances of everybody, doing accounting, filling out tax forms, this is a massive drain on the economy. If governments found another way to fund themselves, people could become much more productively employed. But of course accountants will fight for their jobs. IMHO government can be funded through a combination of tarrifs, user fees, property taxes, and flat rates (and I'm probably forgetting something). It is certainly a possible endgame that bitcoin is the thing that forces governments to come up with an alternative way to fund themselves. And if that happened, I would be a bitcoin worshiper.
All I'm really sure of is that governments will always be with us.
The world does not have to keep operating like it has. New ways topple the old way all the time. Certain things will always be (human nature, game theory) but specifics can be changed.
