There are limitations on what central banks hold and the reality is they are not about backing things with assets in the traditional sense

Central banks are not about gold holdings or other such things although they can manage these for the government

The way to look at this is to think that each dollar or pound or whatever else is a transferable asset that has no dividends - as with most tech stocks - and no voting rights but still links to a percentage from the value of the overall underlying asset.

The underlying asset is based on the government and the taxation of assets in the country which links to GDP

When more cash is printed it is analogous to when a company issues more shares.

when cash is taken up it is when you see an analogy to a company doing a buyback

the assets owned by a central bank and not related to gold or shares or anything about that are linked directly to the value of business in that country

The value of Fiat money is directly tied between the need to pay tax to the government in the country compared with the value in international trade and foreign finance

Where the government issues to many bonds the common equivalent given is that they are printing money.

The entire process is one of exchanges of financial instruments and debt

Countries hold foreign currency in their central banks to repay obligations

they don't invest in RMB in the US Federal reserve system to invest - they hold foreign currency including RMB so that they can pay obligations as due

So, unless there are reasons to pay debts in BTC or some other system, there is no reason for a central bank to hold it

Question:
Share ownership: If activist shareholders buy 51% of a company and vote to change the rules of the company, they can, right?

If they buy 51% of the vote
Reality - 30%
Most do not vote

bitcoin isn't a company and there are no shares so that's not a valid question

bitcoin is offered as a unilateral contract

there is no voting involved

you don't get to change the rules, they were defined do not change so no it doesn't matter if you own 99.99999% of bitcoin available you get to change anything

Satoshi, a.k.a. me cannot change the system from its base

BTC is not bitcoin in any way

BTC is a system that is passing themselves off as bitcoin

irrelevant, there is no voting rights associated with bitcoin it's a commodity

ownership does not give you any rights other than the right to sell it to someone else or transmit

if you own a bar of gold you don't own a percentage of all gold in existence that will ever be available and have rights to them

no you own the amount you have and you do not have the rights to anything else other than the amount you have

you do not vote on gold

you do not vote on bitcoin

the point in the White Paper wasn't that people vote, it was that will lead to a system of sybils

people don't vote with an IP address, that was the point not that they should be voting that they don't vote

except that the Constitution isn't up to the people to change

if they don't like bitcoin they can set up a new system with a different constitution

just as the American government of the colonies set up a new government when it left England

but, just like that they don't get to call themselves England

there isn't a majority stake

it is irrelevant how much steak you have there is no argument to make it is not sold as a share it is not listed as a chef and is not

distributed as a security

to make that argument means it is a security

for bitcoin to be a security, it is illegal and breaching the law

if they make that argument, they have to immediately stop distributing bitcoin and stop mining

so, that is not a valid argument

it is a commodity and the way that commodities work is that you don't get to sit there and say that you want to vote for change

If there is a standard contract for the delivery of grain at a certain quality, your decision to change the quality because you own 60% of all the grain at that quality is invalid

if you own 100% of every bitcoin that exists you still would not have the right to change the contract.

You say they will make the argument, but there is no argument

to break this into a logical predicate form:

Group X owns the majority of a commodity

Group X believes that commodity contracts should be changed

Group Y defined the contract for the commodity

Therefore, as group Y is the contract creator or issuer group Y does not give a shit about what group X thinks

There is no community in bitcoin.

It is not about the community.
It is not about a community.

It is not about voting.

It is a commodity token

you cannot make a community thing using bitcoin or Blockchain

you cannot desire to make any of this because bitcoin is capitalist

not mildly capitalist

utterly through and through heartfelt pure unrefined capitalism

the only thing you get when you try and take the law out of bitcoin is a bunch of fraudulent capitalists who seek to make money using crime and defrauding investors to make a quick buck

bitcoin is everything that every single socialist will ever hate squared

it always was

there is no split, there is a group of individuals who never wanted bitcoin who fought me from before I launched bitcoin and seek to make something else

this is never about bitcoin, it is about the ideas that started coming out in 2008 when James Donald started telling me how wrong my project was because government would take it over

none of this has ever been new

the guys at course started taking over before I even left and had plans to do this before I even guessed that they were planning to do this

the Github repository started being developed in 2010 eight months before I left

all this goes back to a group of individuals who hijacked my system because they had failed with either gold and they failed with eCash and they failed with liberty and they failed.

So they came from the failure of liberty and the gold and piled onto bitcoin thinking that they could make this into their drug coin

but bitcoin is designed not to work that way

it is not encrypted and it cannot work if it's encrypted

which means everything that these guys have been doing for the last twelve years has been a complete waste of time

whereas, I have continued building everything that needs to be in a legally working system

and hence, they have lost their opportunity

Bloody Dragon

There is no takeover ability - it is a commodity

No, SegWit is a new system that links an airdrop to deceive investors

It is a classic financial fraud

Blocksize is something miners can fight on.

BUT - they MUST accept losing - if they mine large blocks - the losers do not have a new chain.

The rules are simple - the losing chain loses.

That is, everything is lost

No extended votes - 100 blocks

The paper below demonstrates some of the problems with much of academia https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.08092

Throughout the day I'm going to deconstruct this part by part.

Right from the beginning it starts with

"In a decentralised setting these measures are limited by two underlying physical network attributes:
communication capacity and speed-of-light propagation delay."

Then of course the authors introduce the real reason for the paper which is often overlooked.

The authors introduce Prism

So in effect, the entire purpose of the paper is not to understand bitcoin or any other system for that matter but rather to promote their own system.

It is a marketing paper that is deceptively promoted as if it is an academic paper. This is an example of first-year science students will be taught to reject as being self-serving and biased.

They make a claim that they deconstruct bitcoin but I will demonstrate that this is not been done anywhere in this paper and rather the authors are intentionally promoting a false concept in order to promote their own system.

This is something that should be a subject of an academic integrity review for the authors especially given the nature of where they come from

1.1 Performance measures

These are not the fundamental performance measures of a Blockchain.

The amount of hash power it is not relevant to the performance operations in any way. Rather it is an indicator of an economic process.

No mention is made of the propagation of block headers.

The distribution of block headers is the most crucial aspect of the bitcoin security function. Note, I have stated block headers and not blocks. So the authors have already set up a false view designed to deceive the reader prior to even getting into the first section.

In order to sell their own product, they talk about a throughput of only a few transactions per second.

This of course is false.

BTC has intentionally limited throughput which is not the capability of bitcoin, but then, the purpose of this paper is not to analyse bitcoin but rather again to deceptively promote an alternate form of Cryptocurrency system that the authors seek to promote rather than digital cash because they want their names to be associated with it.

They have a financial interest in deceiving the reader

In the same calculations, the authors intentionally introduce false calculations about the latency and throughput building on the already erroneous claim of only a few transactions are second to say that the requirement to wait six blocks as part of a transaction process as well

The definition of confirmed latency it is completely made up in the way that they have proposed that. For a given probability that a transaction will be removed from the ledger is simple hogwash

There is no basis for this in any way rather the authors have a false claim of authority and I definitively say false here because this is a example of incredibly low academic integrity

By low I mean pond scum, but this is not the analysis of the paper

A process where blocks are orphaned does not lead to an attacker removing transactions from the ledger as they are falsely describing. Again, anyone who understood or took the time to analyse the protocol would also see that there is a 100 block maturity level required for miners to get paid. So it is in the interest economically of miners to build a system that will not have their blocks rejected within that timeframe.

Buterin is a child without any formal education. He has never been trained in basic mathematics little and cryptography. He has never been trained in security. He's never been trained in risk. He has no concept of these disciplines so why would anyone in their right mind take anything that he states about it with any level of seriousness

The purpose of bitcoin is to make a digital cash system that enables micropayments and can be used for other extensions that people create.

Individuals exchanging one to the other over SPV is decentralised.

the protocol is not

the protocol is set

the protocol was created by me and doesn't change

the issuer is not decentralised but rather happens to be the people who launched a particular system

Lightning is an account based system. The commodity is between that is being exchanged under an agreement for amounts to be repaid.

There is a reason I selected bitcoin to be a commodity token. under small amounts, there are no requirements for any AML and it can act as cash.

However, the lightning system has moved away from this and is offering a derivative or promissory note based on the later transfer of bitcoin. Do not transmit bitcoin using lightning. You have a promise to repay and that is not the same thing.

In this, each hub is maintaining a separate list of connection requirements and has a separate process as a money handler.

Question:
@CSW If all the Central Banks issued their CBDCs as tokens on BSV, it would be possible to create a basket of currencies and then issue an 'algorythmic stablecoin' like MKR/DAI against them, wouldn't it? And then that 'stablecoin' could act as a universal world currency, couldn't it?

No. Bitcoin is cash. It is not current money.

A currency can be constructed, but this will not occur. No government has a reason for this but many to oppose it.

CBDCs will occur

I hope all on BSV

But, a world currency means a world government

Globalisation is a socialistic lie

National identity and hierarchy are human traits

The never moved towards globalisation. Fukuyama was way off. In the next 2 decades expect regional conflict, isolation and pacts

Globalisation is a left wing academic lie.

It really doesn't exist. To think so is to embrace naivety

We are heading to a clash of cultures

Bloody auto screwup

The never moved towards globalisation. Fukyama

That is trade, trade is always global

Oil from the USSR was sold in the 60s in the west

Global migration in 1900 was 3x that of today

There is nothing inevitable about global socialism

Mark my words, nationalism will be strong in about 15 to 20 years

Plato in Greece and Cato in Rome discussed globalisation too...

A limited definition

And, economic influence was there from Rome

A crop failure in India in the 1700s effect the UK

And statistical we have lower migration than 120 years ago

And, there will not be a global currency.

No government will do that. Even the EU is starting to fray

Even in a world of gold backed money, there has never been a global currency

And, bitcoin is NOT a currency.

Bitcoin cannot become a reserve currency. It has nothing to make it one. It becomes paper, a commodity. Notes are on paper, yet, the USD and RMB are not linked.

The daily exchange of currency is in the 100 trillion range. Bitcoin can settle this, bitcoin cannot hope to ever make a small dent in that let alone replace it.

To work that way, bitcoin would need a 100 trillion base and a 0.0001 usd fee

Sorry, not mathematically possible

No. CBDC is not cash, more visa debit, an account

Can be, but they are not trying

Like the USD who are politically neutral...

The first thing people don't realise is that I don't follow the herd.

I do things my way. I succeed or fail my way. If you don't like it, too bad.

I have no obligation and I have never had any obligation to prove to people in any way or to do anything to the population at large in any way.

To think that I am required to all that I owe you is to show ignorance. Those who believe that because I created bitcoin means that I have to follow the group mentality have no idea about how bitcoin works.

It is not about democratising finance

It is not about the collective

Honestly, screw the collective

Bitcoin was created by one man, me.

I didn't receive large amounts of help or encouragement from anybody, so to think that I owe anybody now and that I should act in a manner that people state is how I should act is to fail to understand bitcoin

bitcoin is not about the collective

bitcoin works within the law

bitcoin is not opposed to governments or banks, it is a cash system

This will never make small casual transactions a problem. You see, the cost of obtaining a court order will be in the tens of thousands of dollars. As such, it will be like existing cash laws where if you lose 20 pounds on the street, you have lost 20 pounds and the finder can take it.

Alternatively if you lose $10,000 in a shopping centre, you have a right to recover it and the finder has no expectations to keep it.
