you're wrong, if you lose what you have you will know that you had something to be thankful for. you need to watch videos from africa. those red cross ads arent computer renders from a video game, you know. dont be entitled and spoiled, remind yourself to be thankful with what you have and still strive to get more.

The reason why checkpoints are bad is because it introduces trust* for new users and it replaces the threat of a deep re-org with the threat of additional forks.

Yes, Satoshi implemented checkpoints in 2010 but it was 200 blocks back and in a straight line. More importantly it was a different time, the network was so small that a single large user actually could re-org the chain a year back.

here's a warning about auto-checkpoints that someone wrote 7 years before ABC implemented their auto-checkpoints (auto-finalization):

here's an old discussion thread about checkpoints from 2013:

* = a new user can't simply follow the longest chain, when they come online they must trust someone to tell them which chain to download. it literally breaks the very concept of proof-of-work and is a terrible idea. the centralized decision from ABC to introduce checkpoints is what made me start believing more in BSV rather than BCH.

It is quite frightening that 70s television had more clear guidelines about what is allowed and not allowed on the air.

YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Patreon, PayPal... they all have unclear guidelines so that they can basically get rid of you for whatever they want. And it's completely intentional.

Censorship by demonetization is a scary thing. So much self-censorship right now. People beeping their curse words, avoiding sensitive topics, not being themselves. Not even mentioning the word "nazi" in YouTube documentaries about WWII. It's fucked up.

He's gotten hella slim compared to his glory days tho and he still makes more money than we'll ever make from crypto.

a meme burning a lot of money mining on a chain nobody uses, wonder why?

i have untouched BCH so i'm in both BCH and BSV until it's settled which one will win. right now looks like BSV has the best shot to become world money but who knows?
also still have some BTC just in case

DAMN IT. Satoshi has decided to reveal that he is trolling on twitter. There goes my entertainment.
